Go harvest imo. That is some weird science stuff.
Go harvest imo. That is some weird science stuff.I just want an excuse to try some mad scientist things that most people don't do on a home scale level.
Where you going to harvest from?I will in about 10 weeks.
I’ve cooked bones till they are super char. Then desolve in vinegar. Call It water soluble calcium and phosphate.Making bone meal ash?
Phosphate seems to be the hardest organic fertilizer to find in good levels.I’ve cooked bones till they are super char. Then desolve in vinegar. Call It water soluble calcium and phosphate.
I've kept FFJ for almost two years. After its done fermenting, just stir as much molasses into it as you can to make it real thick. Thin it down with water/tea before using.What about making fermented plant juice?
I feel like Tea only gets it to a certain point before the alcohols form and things get sour.I've kept FFJ for almost two years. After its done fermenting, just stir as much molasses into it as you can to make it real thick. Thin it down with water/tea before using.
Does this need to be charred more?I’ve cooked bones till they are super char. Then desolve in vinegar. Call It water soluble calcium and phosphate.
I use the tea to thin down my thick condensed FFJ right before I use it. I use two tablespoons off FFJ per gallon of tea. Lol, my FFJ is almost as thick as honey!I feel like Tea only gets it to a certain point before the alcohols form and things get sour.
Enzymes will cut that all out.
At what point is it organic or not.
Just seems way more efficient, with Enzymes it can cook for longer.
Pulling out a Tea bag is unused organics.

I also have 2 Guineas. They produce more pellets than I can use. I use it straight up...cage to planter. Their manure is just like a rabbit or a deers. Ready to use immediately no composting required. The used woodchips go into my veggie garden weekly.Hello.
I am an organic soil grower.
I keep guinea pigs and their "work-product" gets screened and mixed with previous soil. The point of that is to encourage the development of humus.
Humus is rich in nutrients and helps soil retain moisture. It is a complex material that varies in composition, color, and odor depending on the organic sources, soil fauna and flora, and environmental conditions.
I don't use chemical based fertilizers so the evolution of the soil is close to a natural situation. I also can put soil in the compost tumbler, add new materials and "fire it up" to recycle. The idea is that natural biology will keep things healthy.
Anyway back in California I did as this thread aims to do but since it is very low humidity in California I was able to brew a liquid and let it evaporate in the Summer heat outside.
Once it was dry I scraped the dry stuff and made powder.
I would then add that powder to the watering mix and nothing bad happened.
So one way to make something we can keep on a shelf a long time is making a brew such as a manure based liquid with other things such as fish emulsion, liquid kelp, azomite and I can't remember everything except I did experiment with black solder fly larvae and the liquid that they generate so I added a lot of that too.
It was a lot of work and I ended up with a 5 gallon bucket of powder.
I saw that it did wonders for regular garden plants.
I couldn't say it was special for the medical plants because I was into watering with a mix of stuff including Coffee from fresh grounds. Be careful it's a lot of nitrogen in brewed coffee.
But I thought to mention that we can make a powder from liquid stuff and that will last for years.
As has been shared already to really know what the N-P-K of it is requires that it be tested as a fertilizer and not a soil amendment. I don't remember what they call it but they vaporize the sample and filter for a fertilizer and not just a soil sample.
I wouldn't put the effort into such a thing again but it was interesting for one Summer.
I use the DTE seabird guano 2 weeks before flower usually.
