Lactic acid bacterium, organic fertilzer

Has anyone used labs? If not its under Korean natural farming. It works excellent, haven't done it in a while but should. Sprayed on it kills pm, watered in gives plants a super boost of bennificial bacteria, you can ingest this pro biotic as well.

Does UV kill it.

Sure, Southern Ag Biological Fungicide and Serenade are both lactic acid bacteria. Serenade contains bacillus subtilis, which is what is used to ferment Natto. Great stuff!

I use Lab’s all the time: Fish Amino Acid and Fermented Fruit Juice. I ran out of Lab(only) and will be making some soon. Yeah they work really well in the soil.

I've been playing around with LABS lately, made up some bokashi with it last week so we'll see how that goes
I really want to make some IMO3, seems as though this is the backbone of KNF, with LABS playing more of a support role, but LABS by itself has a ton of uses

Did you make the FAA or buy it? I want to make my own, but until then I'm looking pick some up, I ordered for Alaska fish fertilizer, but I know it aint the same. Can't seem to find any commercial FAA product

neither of those are lactic acid bacteria.

FAA and FFJ are not LAB

currently using EM-1.. mostly cause I can activate more pretty easily. I use it as a foliar and drench.

I started making it when I started growing organic. It's simple to make. I also IMO, FPJ, SST, etc... No need to buy commercial products as all it takes is rice and milk for LAB and rice and brown sugar for IMO. All the microbes anyone could want for pennies.

I made my FAA with lactobacillus and yes LaB is present in FFJ

Here’s the recipe


you can use LaB in FFJ and I believe it is in FFJ.

Fermentation of fruits and vegetables can occur “spontaneously” by the natural lactic bacterial surface microflora, such as Lactobacillus spp.,Leuconostoc spp., and Pediococcus spp.; however, the use of starter culture such as L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, L.gasseri, and L. acidophilus provides consistency and reliability of performance [24].

I made it myself. You can use IMO-1 to make Fish Amino Acid, which you can buy off the web. Check out Neptune’s harvest as well for Fish Hydrolysate, be warned it does contain phosphoric acid for chelation.
