Vegan Organics Aka Veganics With Matt Rize

The wild and brilliant ideas of Rudolf Steiner...

Sounds interesting but I don't think you would want to smoke that herb. Inhaling rock dust is not preferable, same situation with perlite and inhaling dust from it...

Nitrogen and Iron deficiency have very similar symptoms! The main cause of an N dif is high pH. (keep it no higher than 6.8 imho)

If your yellowing is in younger leaves than it is Iron, older leaves it's N, but check pH before adding more.

well my ph is 7 on the bioterra plus and its on the lower leaves of the plant so im guessing its a iron deff cause its not on the older leaves yet?

been working...

ugh.... thats a month of posts lost. Well, I encourage you all to help me get this thread back on track.
Buddy, we for sure lost your posts.
Thanks to everyone for posting here and helping establish vegan organic horticulture with me.

Just becuse I did it from sheer laziness and I am trying to back into how it might be working.

I know I really need a scope. One day..

Short version..in beermaking the last part of the vat is left with beer in it. If starts the fermentation process of the next batch of beer.

They do that a few times and then run off the bottom also, the Bock, and sell it as such.

Then they start with a fresh batch after a good cleaning.

Has any body ever kept a batch of ACT going and added sugars, kelp, and more compost and let 'er keep churning for a few days?

LOL...till it starts stinkin?

I know the smells from healhty tea...and I could be mistaken, but it smells good for a couple of days like that...pulling off a gallon or two per day.


Disclaimer: I know this is probly just dead tea....but maybe somebody with a scope has played with this idea?

Just wanted to bounce it out there. See what you guys thought....

I like to have tea around 24/7 and its a bitch to clean everything and start over every day or two.

Bwahhh wahhh wahhh....I know..

Always looking for a shortcut...stoner me...lol

according to a recent article i just read http://www.soilfoodweb.com/sfi_approach3.html

Long-Brewing Compost Tea or LBCT for short; what this does is create a type of monoculture. Basically there is not that much diversity in this tea because towards the end only a certain type of bacteria/fungi thrive/

weed leaf compost tea.jpg this is weed leaf copost tea from flowering plants. What i did was put a couple handfuls of leaves in a couple gallons of water and bubbled for 24 hours. It started foaming really good. But the smell wasn't bad but not as pleasent as i would like. so i added a half tbls to it and kept bubbling and it smells better. i can't wait tp see if this is beneficial.
