Coot says there are higher levels of phosphatase in malted rye. Search KiS coot interview in YouTube. 3 awesome podcasts.
I don't know if this will be covered. I use malted barley powder. The grain works better when it's malted which means sprouted. You can see little tails. This is when the seed releases mass amounts of enzymes. That is why you see guys making seed sprout teas. Too much work. Coot laughs about his buddy asking him why he's doing all that when they sell premalted grain. And he was like whaaaaat?
Regular oats works fine. Its kind of like Ferrari, Porsche, Honda when going down the line of Malted barley, malted rye, oats. However they are all effective. All will get you to your destination
Feed your soil. Not your plant.
I just wanted to share all the wonderful benefits of a weekly top dress of malted barley powder among other grains and oats. I buy a 50lb bag of pilsner malt grain and grind it right before I apply it.
Diastatic MBP is ideal for fungal growth while rye is higher in phosphatase. Any grain ground as fine as possible works, even oatmeal. Always water into soil surface with fulvic acid/aloe/silica using a sprayer. Try to wash it into the soil.
- Contains easily available chitin [chitin is found between layers of carbonate. As it is broken down it is converted to chitinase which breaks down exoskeleton of larvae and eggs.]
- Contains urease, phosphatase, and potasase.
- Increases fungal activity in soil
- Contains naturally occuring growth regulating hormones and defense triggering hormones
- Contains enzymes that increase decomposition
- Growers have reported up to a 20% faster finish in bloom (I have seen it)
- Increases worm reproduction
"Enzymes are the catalyst, fulvic acid is the catalyst to the catalyst."
It has to be malted for the enzymes to be activated.Hi all. Can powdered barley seed be used in place of malted barley? Or is the sprouting process key? What problems might come from using ground barley seed as a top dress in place of malted barley?
