SEAPONICS REVOLUTION

I made a complex compost tea and had it tested. Since I had used throwaway vegetables from the grocery store as the backbone of the compost I was curious how it measured up. It seemed high in sodium.

You had it tested how and what were the results of that test? Don't see how throwaway veggies will add sodium unless you used something like a lot of celery unless they were leftovers from meals you had cooked and added salt to.

I gave a friend some organic alfalfa juice powder to experiment with and he found it to be an excellent addition to his teas. For sure never use barley grass. Barley grass is used in places like ponds for algae control. The soil fungi don't seem to like it either.

Nice on the Barley! Didn't know.

Yeah I have that soil analysis someplace in the storage.
The Sodium, I'm needing to go back and review what the sodium is about.. If someone cares to post that it will be cool.. We are on our way out the door for a camping trip.

I made fresh alfalfa liquid.. I think I'll see if I can make some more this year..


On the sea stuff... I need to read carefully but it sounds fishy ( pun intended ) I'll give it a good read Monday.

Be well everyone and Happy Fourth of July!

...but man salt isn't something I'd feel like throwing in the nutrient mix.

You do realize that synthetic nutes are ALL salts, right? It's all about the PPMs, density is what changes it from a nutrient to an herbicide.
