I get exactly where you're coming from ShutUpDonny.Isn't Oregonism a root-supporting myco/fungal innoculant? Never would have thought it was beneficial to leaves... Learn something every day!
I'll try to get some actual science on castile soap v. microherd. I can't find anything specific online, which is somewhat disturbing given that so many people support the idea of small amounts of soap being "safe." I hope it's true, as it would make my life a lot easier, but I'd like to see something to back it up before i employ it.

That's my thinking. In fact, I've yet to meet a serious grower- mj or otherwise, who hasn't used a couple of drops of straight-up (w/o bacteria/microbial killers) liquid soap to a solution as a wetting agent/surfacant/spreader at some point in their career and that's enough research to validate it's efficacy for me. ie a non-issue.Unless the soap has anti-bacterial or anti-microbial properties it should be fine to use as a foliar. The organic soaps would be best.

me too. i even went to put some in water once and it was pretty tough to dissolve. would like to learn more....
People commonly refer to "those mini-banana lookin' things" as flowers. Don't let all of those crazy hay seed gardeners confuse you though. Use "bracts" and you'll impress your friends. You could even pretend that you have a Botany degree if you're slick enuff. haha. just goofin' on ya.Hey, are those mini-banana lookin' things the aloe's flowers?! I''ve never seen that in my life. Super cool! Looks vaguely like banana yucca, oddly enough : D
Thanks, yet once again for the props. I don't call you my bestest new friend for nothin'. Hows the wading going? Clear up any of that ignorance for you, yet? You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You're too smart of a guy to be using all of that self-deprecating crap that you seem to be fond of.Wow! Those are beautiful! I feel like someone's been holding out on me for my whole life, never having seen those before. Thank you for correcting my ignorance, and for sharing the link. Can't wait to wade into all that great info!
Good 4 u! Let us know how u like it. Always glad 2 b of service!LOL. Sounds good to me! I'm off to find some yucca.
I ran a search myself and the only negatives I found concerning it's use came from quacks, wannabee scientist types (big words, pedantic, no degree and very defensive about it- downright contentious if u ask me!), and newbs who seemed like they were acting like they knew more than what they actually did. You know the type.I'll try to get some actual science on castile soap v. microherd.

That's been my experience, as well. The pure/straight-up Ivory is still easily available. Just hidden somewhere in there behind the popular bottles.I used ivory dish soap for almost 10 years as a wetting agent in soil with no issues
I gave up using dirt indoors about that long ago as well
Ivory used to be 99.9% pure soap - not sure if it still is
most other dish soaps have chemicals that break down grease or antibacterial
wouldnt use any of that as a wetting agent
Hi mal. To be honest, I don't know how long it will store. I harvest it, use it and look at the living plant as the storage system. I'll take a couple of pics while I'm processing the plants for use tonight. Not much to see, but maybe some visualization will add perspective to the technique I described above... plus I like taking snapshots.How long does the extract stay good for after it is made? I've got an aloe I've been growing for years and need another use for it, take care
