Anyone every see this (somewhat new i think) product called Be-1? This is the description..
Awaken your soil! Use Be-1 Pellets to exponentially increase beneficial microorganisms in your soil, while feeding essential, slow-release NPK nutrients of 3-6-5. Be-1 is the product of 30+ years of research and development by two of the world's leading amino acids research labs in Japan. |FEEDING METHODS| There are a variety of ways to incorporate Be-1 pellets into your feeding routine. The pellet form of Be-1 makes it a versatile and easy-to-use bio-stimulant (with 3-6-5 NPK). Application rates (see image) are focused on organically increasing microorganisms first, then providing nutrients. Here are application method options that will help you get exceptional results. |COMPOST STARTER & ACCELERATOR| Increase the decaying microbes that aid in breaking down organic matter faster and transform nutrients into plant-absorbable forms. |SOIL-CONDITIONER| Before planting, jump starting your beneficial microbe counts in the rhizosphere and improve soil structure from several days up to 4-weeks prior to planting. [2.2 lb (1 kg) bag conditions roughly 20 sq ft.] / [22.2 lb (10 kg) bag conditions roughly 200 sq ft.] |MONTHLY BOOSTER| Most microorganisms could use a monthly boost of amino acids and nutrients in Be-1 pellets, especially during most intensive growth phases. See (Application Rate Chart images). [2.2 lb (1 kg) bag boosts roughly 200 sq ft.] / [22.2 lb (10 kg) bag boosts roughly 2000 sq ft.] |LIQUID APPLICATION| For a little quicker delivery to your plants, consider solubizing the pellets once per month. |COMPOST TEA| There are many recipes and techniques for mixing compost tea -or- actively aerated compost tea (AACT). Use Be-1 to give your tea a powerful biology boost. |FOLIAR SPRAY| A great way to add nutrients and biologic barrier against disease with immediate benefit. |AGGRESSIVE GROWTH RATES| available
Some people on IG seem to be having great results with teas so i figured why not try it...they got a 2oz free sample on the way whoch hopefully will be enough for 2 or 3 teas.....
I immediately thought of milorganite (ugh).... but this is not that.... and honestly, I cant really tell what it is... in one place it pretends to be a caps pack full of fungi and microbes, in another its a "
unique combination of nutrients, minerals along with a proprietary blend of amino-acids that is GMO-free, all natural and wild-sourced."....
I wouldnt bother personally when you can cultivate beneficial indigenous microorganisms so easily anyways... you're surrounded by them... to me, thats like being stuck on an ocean and yet still buying a cup of salt water.
get some tupperware and drill tiny holes all over the top... cook up some rice and put it about an inch thick in the bottom of the tupperware... you can srceen the holes with pantyhose or something similar... pantyhose is rather cheap... now find a spot of thriving grass (dont go forest, wrong microbes... go grassland) bury that rascal for about 5-10 days and catch those microbes and molds yourself... (black mold is bad. start over. white/green/yellow are all good)
//1//
mix it 1:1 with sugar/molasses in a new container, cover it up for 3-5 days.... when its all emulsified into a liquid, add 3x as much water as you have rice/mold/molasses... leave it loosely covered for another week... then strain the liquid off the solids and seal it loosely so gas can still escape until tiny bubbles stop forming on top of the liquid... (just like the DIY fish hydrolysate recipe) mix that with a bit of lacto, and I guarantee that you'll have the same thing only better and fresher...
//1// you can stop at the moldy rice and just scoop that into your pots to inoculate your soil with those microbes without having to go through the extra steps that makes it able to be stored...
