Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Cow Cal 24 - Food Grade Calcium + Phosphorus - 8oz
Cow Cal 24 is a food-grade calcium and phosphorus supplement derived from milk whey. It is made exclusively from grass-fed cattle from Denmark and contains 24% calcium and 8% phosphorus. It is organically available to plants for efficient uptake. Calcium is one of the most important elements, and it is not always easily available. What's in it 24%-29% calcium 8%-15% phosphorus 3-6% protein with all amino acids 1-2% magnesium What it does Cow Cal 24 is designed to pair calcium and phosphorus in plant development. Calcium is vital for cellular structure and function, and phosphorus is key for energy transfer. It is used to promote robust plant growth and enhance resistance to environmental stress. Suitable for a wide range of plant types. Use it as part of a regular feeding regimen or as a targeted supplement for specific calcium deficiencies. Try it with Yah Whey for the Holy Cow effect. How to use Drench: best results so far at 1 teaspoon per gallon. Foliar spray: leaves a white residue on leaves. A dose and mixture that does not leave residue is still being worked out. This is a new product and best practices are still being worked out, so directions may be updated as it gets more use. Good to know Calcium concentration is significantly higher than standard steamed bone meal, in a more plant-available form. Neutral pH, which helps keep nutrients available to plants. Does not alter soil pH the way calcium carbonate does. Free from high levels of heavy metals. This is the 100% grass-fed version of the material, brought in from Denmark for distribution in the USA.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Grow-Cal | Amino Acid Chelated Liquid Calcium - 1QT
Grow-Cal is an amino acid chelated liquid calcium, derived from non-synthetic calcium chloride. No EDTA chelators are used at all, which makes it safe for microbes. It is a replacement for calcium25 and can be used both as a foliar spray and as a drench. Build A Soil's approach is that multiple sources of calcium create the best results when considering immediate and long term needs. Because of the chelation, Grow-Cal used as a drench may also help with the availability of other forms of calcium. Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant sources of calcium, but it does take time to become bioavailable. Grow-Cal may increase the rate at which calcium carbonate and other forms become plant available. This product is approved for use through the NOP program when dictated by a sap or soil test. How to use Shake well before each use. Apply Grow-Cal in the early morning or evening while there is still dew on the plant. Avoid applying it in direct sunlight when temperatures exceed 86°F (30°C). For even better results, apply it with high nitrogen amino acid products like Pure Protein Dry. Fruit, vegetable and flower gardens: Apply 12-16 oz of Grow-Cal per 1,000 sq. ft. of planting area before planting. Hose end sprayers/injectors work best for this. Soil drench, transplant or watering solution: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water. Use 4 oz (1/2 cup) of the diluted solution per plant every 2-4 weeks. Foliar spray: Dilute 2 oz of Grow-Cal per 1 gallon of water and mist evenly onto plant foliage every 3 to 4 weeks. Water as usual. Guaranteed analysis Derived from: non-synthetic calcium chloride Soluble calcium: 10% Storage and cautions Store in a cool and dark place at room temperature, 68°F to 86°F (20°C-30°C), and out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes or open wounds. Not for human consumption. Caution: To avoid the formation of insoluble precipitates, do not mix Grow-Cal with materials containing phosphates or sulfates. Do not apply to the foliage of African Violet plants.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Premium Insect Frass - 7LB
Insect Frass - Black Soldier Fly Larvae - Derived from an incredible company in Canada all from the digestate of black soldier fly larvae. In all natural ecosystems (where there are no man-made chemical pesticides), insects feed on and digest vegetation, and give it right back to plants in the form of nature's perfect plant food. Plants benefit insects - Insects benefit plants! 100% Organic plant food, and so much more... Estimated NPK Value of 3-2-4 Weighs roughly 4 oz per cup. Insect Frass naturally contains the nutrition plants require, beneficial micro-organisms, and the only immediately plant-available source of chitin (pronounced “Kite-in”). Chitin fortifies a plant from the inside out, causing an "auto-immune" response that signals a plant to produce natural toxins which fend off its natural enemies like pests and fungal pathogens. The EPA says that chitin and chitosan (see FAQ's) defend against botrytis (grey mold), powdery mildew, early and late blight, fungal pathogens in the root zone (root rot) and root-feeding nematodes. Insect Frass does NOT cause a plant to kill beneficial insects or beneficial nematodes. Insect Frass is NOT a pesticide. Insect Frass is NOT a fungicide. Insect Frass will NOT put insects into your garden. Give your plants all the benefits of Insect Frass, without the bugs! How To Use For soil building or top dressing, apply at a rate of 1/4 - 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Nutrient Kit - Official Clackamas Coots Style - 32lb
The nutrient half of a build-your-own soil, in the style of ClackamasCoots. The recipe is inspired by and credited to Mr. "ClackamasCoots" aka "LumperDawgz", and the kit is a simple, proven starting point to build your soil from. This is the 32 lb size (72 cups), which mixes into 36 cubic feet of soil (1.38 yards). To mix your own soil you need a Nutrient Kit and a Mineral Kit. For the minerals, see the Mineral Kit for peat moss. The two are kept separate so that the natural moisture in the rock dust doesn't affect the raw nutrients. What's in it Crustacean meal - crab and shrimp Kelp meal - Thorvin brand Ascophyllum nodosum Neem cake/karanja cake - 70/30 premium organic neem cake imported from India (West Coast Horticulture or Neem Resource) Milled malted barley - organic 2 row How to use Use at 2.5 cups per cubic foot of soil, or about 5-6 tablespoons per gallon of soil. The recipe is based on 1/2 cup per cubic foot of each ingredient, with milled malted barley at 1 cup per cubic foot. Mix, then let the soil sit for 1-2 weeks before planting. Kit sizes and coverage Kit Volume Mixes into 5.33 lb 12 cups 6 cubic feet of soil 8 lb 18 cups 9 cubic feet of soil (1/3 yard) 12 lb 28 cups 14 cubic feet of soil (1/2 yard) 24 lb 54 cups 27 cubic feet of soil (1 yard) 32 lb 72 cups 36 cubic feet of soil (1.38 yards) What you'll need to finish the recipe Canadian sphagnum peat moss: sold in 2.0 cubic foot and 3.8 cubic foot bales. The 2.0 bale will fluff up to about 3.0 cubic feet, and the 3.8 bale will fluff to about 6 cubic feet. High quality compost or worm castings. Aeration amendment: something to aerate the soil, the way perlite does in a normal potting mix. Pumice and rice hulls are the preferred choices, but you can use whatever is available to you, including perlite, rice hulls, lava rock or pumice. Why there is no high-P ingredient There is no high-P ingredient like soft rock phosphate or fish bone meal in this kit. Many of its ingredients contain phosphorus at normal levels, which will not be harmful to mycorrhizal fungi. High-P amendments can have a negative effect on the soil's mycorrhizal life, and for this reason Coot recommends this recipe. The mix as written by ClackamasCoots Equal parts sphagnum peat moss, an aeration material (pumice, rice hulls, lava rock - whatever is on hand), and a mix of humus (compost, worm castings, black leaf mold). To each 1 cubic foot of this mix, add: 1/2 cup organic neem meal 1/2 cup organic kelp meal 1/2 cup crab meal (or crustacean meal when available - it has shrimp meal with the crab meal, and is a local product from the fisheries on the Oregon and Washington coasts) 4 cups of minerals - rock dust After the plant is in its final container, top-dress with worm castings at 2" or so, then apply aloe vera juice and comfrey extract (or borage, stinging nettle or horsetail ferns - whatever is ready).

Growing Organic Farm Crafted Horsetail Ferment is a seasonal Fermented Plant Extract made from horsetail fern. It is made on a small farm near Paonia, Colorado, using natural probiotic farming practices. The farm has operated under the direction of Miles Filippelli since 2016, producing plant inputs for the Fermented Plant Extracts line. How it's made Lactobacillus bacteria are saprophytes, meaning they are decomposers that break down organic matter. That trait is put to work in Fermented Plant Extracts, where lactobacillus are fed specific nutrient-dense food sources to break down plant compounds and extract them into a liquid form. What's in it Derived from Clean Mountain Water, Horsetail (Equisetum), Molasses, Sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, and EM-1. It is then fermented until the horsetail fern is digested and extracted into the liquid and the sugars are consumed by the microbes, which locks in the pH for stability and ease of use in the garden. Why use it Horsetail fern is known to be high in silica and is used in the biodynamic preparation known as BD508, a botanical tea. This extract is particularly useful in the transition from veg to bloom and throughout the bloom cycle.
