Had it a month mixed 2 different 3.0 soil mix 15# size for trial one batch I didn’t use em-1 on the other I did (I did spray it on the peat mix with sappion q-60 while mixing soil together added a few other build a soil products and let the 2 mixes sit for 1 month kept mix’s at 40% moister and turned over the mixed every 2 days when putting samples from both under my microscope no comparison the microbial life in em-1 mix was 4 to 5 times more then life in mix without em-1 when same plants planted same time the ones in em-1 after 1 month are double in size MUST HAVE

What is the ratio needed to make FPJs and FPEs? Water, Plant Material, Labs ( Em-1) , Sugar source!?!?

https://youtu.be/d7wXQ-U2qIA?si=XMmrlSZUo_HIp-md&t=1080 Check out the BuildASoil Youtube Video on making ferments with my Wife Gwen and Miles from Fermented plant Extracts! But the basic rule is 1:1:1:100 (1 Part Sugar, 1 Part Lactic Acid Bacteria, 1 Part Plant Matter, 100 Parts Water) This is a good rule of thumb. For more detail watch the video.

Wanted to make my own fermentation for once so got a small bottle of this after watching the BASFF video. Simple setup for my first run, and it looks (and smells) like something the plants will love. Can't wait to experiment more with this!

Definitely thin it out! Re-ferment it with some brown sugar / molasses and filtered non-chlorine water and then add to your straw or mulch layer and mix in a bag for a day or two then apply as a mulch and you'll be blown away at the activity!

After adding a layer of mulch I noticed a compost odor. After one application the smell was gone. I like the phototrophic bacteria because it also helps to cycle Phosphorus. Look at the mode of action for Purple Non Sulfur Bacteria. It’s Quite fascinating. Any item that has versatility of home and gardening use is a five star product.Thanks Buildasoil and Terraganix!

I use this product to make Bokashi, teas, soil drench, reservoir fill (sip), etc. Given it makes a highly pungent and active bokashi capable of fermenting raw produce, there’s no pseudoscience here.

The SRS benefit of aloe is undeniable, whether you use it in a soil drench or foliar you will see your plants praying almost immediately. Helps condition soil and, mixed with some silicate, makes a great surfactant for foliars. My only advice is keep it well sealed and dry, I always keep mine sealed up in a gallon mason jar.
