Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Liquid Pumpkin Extract 1 Gallon
Fermented Liquid Pumpkin Extract is made on a small farm in Paonia, Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices. It is a seasonal product. What's in it Probiotically grown pumpkins Clean mountain water EM-1 Home Made LABS (LactoBacillus Serum) Super Cera Powder Molasses The mix is fermented until the pumpkin is digested and extracted into the liquid and the molasses is consumed by the microbes, which locks in the pH for stability and ease of use in the garden. Why use it What is known about fermenting your own extracts suggests starting with the part of the plant you wish to grow. For faster vegetative growth, you would ferment fast growing green leaves to feed to your plants. For bigger flowers, you would ferment flowers. This extract follows that idea: it is made from pumpkins along with the whole plant, and the pumpkin plants and flowers are fermented to make an all-natural bloom booster for your garden.

Build-A-Soil Growing Organic Sterilized Mushroom Growing Substrate
Growing Organic Sterilized Mushroom Growing Substrate is a sterilized blend in a filter patch bag, made for growing mushrooms. The bag and the packaging the substrate is sterilized in are fully compostable. What's in it Organic coconut coir Vermiculite Compost Calcium sulfate How to use Use these directions to make a mushroom growing tub at home. Before opening the substrate bag, prepare your fruiting chamber or mono-tub by cleaning it thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Wear latex gloves and keep your work area as sterile as you can. If you need help setting up a fruiting chamber or mono-tub, check an online guide so you know you are using the product correctly. Before opening the bag, break up the contents so they can become aerated. Then open the bag and dump the contents into your sterilized bin. Keep your gloves on. Take a handful of the substrate and squeeze it. You should see a few drops of water come out. If you do not, mix in small amounts of sterilized water until it is properly hydrated. Mushrooms exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen, so they will suffocate without enough airflow. Make sure your bin has proper airflow. Use 1.5 lbs. of inoculated grain spawn per 5 lb. bag of the substrate. Mix the grain spawn thoroughly into the substrate in your tub. Still wearing latex gloves, cover the bin with its lid, making sure there are filtered holes in it for air exchange. Incubation for most species takes about 2-3 weeks; some take longer. Check your bin regularly and look for healthy mycelium growth. The bin will slowly turn white from mycelium growth. When the bin is fully colonized, you will begin to see mushroom pins or hyphae growing from the top of the substrate. At this point you can either let the mushrooms continue to grow on their own or add a thin layer of coco coir or other media to the top. Keep your bin humid and the air flowing. Good to know Sterilized water is water that is free of bacterial and/or microbial life. Water is typically sterilized using an autoclave or a pressure cooker. You may also choose to use 2-3 Tbsp. of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to sterilize it. The substrate bags can also be used to grow mushrooms on outdoor beds. Use only for lawful purposes.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Certified Organic Straw Mulch (BOX) - 2cu ft
Certified organic barley straw for mulching your containers, packed in a 2 cubic foot box. Coverage 1 cubic foot of straw doesn't weigh much but will easily mulch 6-12 plants, depending on the depth of mulch and the size of the container. The straw is compressed when baled and is not fluffed up before packaging, so 1 bag holds more than you might think. Approximate measurements: 1/2 cubic foot bag: good for 5-10 plants 1 cubic foot bag: good for 6-12 plants 2 cubic foot box: a 30x15x15 box of uncompressed barley straw from compressed bales The weight of the boxes may vary, but each box is filled as full as possible. How to use Top dress your containers for a straw mulch layer. Putting the straw in a tub or bucket and moistening it first makes it less dusty and cleaner, and easier to apply as mulch. You can also presoak it in Yah-Whey or something microbial to help kick-start the breakdown. Living mulch The straw still has seeds in it, so you will get volunteer "living mulch" in your containers. This grass moves moisture around in your soil container and provides additional root exudates to feed the microlife.

Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Pumice - 1CUFT
Last Longer Than Perlite & Has More Minerals 3/8" x 1/4" Pumice is perfect for potting soil.Pumice is created when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from a volcano. The unusual foamy configuration of pumice happens because of simultaneous rapid cooling and rapid depressurization. The depressurization creates bubbles by lowering the solubility of gases (including water and CO2) that are dissolved in the lava, causing the gases to rapidly exsolve (like the bubbles of CO2 that appear when a carbonated drink is opened). The simultaneous cooling and depressurization freezes the bubbles in the matrix. How To Use Pumice Use for potting soil at 15-40% by Volume

Build-A-Soil Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts: Farm Crafted Horsetail Ferment - 1/2 GAL
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.

Build-A-Soil Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts - Seasonal Farm Crafted Willow Ferment - 1 GAL
Growing Organic Farm Crafted Willow Ferment is a seasonal Fermented Plant Extract made from willow branches. It is crafted on a farm near Paonia, Colorado, using natural probiotic farming practices, under the care of Miles Filippelli since 2016. It is made for all growth phases, particularly the rooting stage. What's in it Derived from mountain water, willow, molasses, sorghum syrup and local goat whey lactic acid bacteria, together with EM-1. Lactobacillus bacteria, nature's decomposers, break down organic compounds for efficient absorption. The extract balances and maintains pH levels for better stability in the garden. Ingredients: Water, Lactic Acid Bacteria from local goat whey, Molasses, Sorghum Syrup, Plant Matter (Willow Branches), EM1 Why willow Willow branches contain salicylic acid and are an old-time gardening secret. Willow is also among the fastest-growing plants, and the reason is a plant hormone known as indolebutyric acid. Trimmed willow branches hold those growth hormones and can be turned into a DIY rooting hormone for nurturing other plants. Before the age of commercial rooting agents, willow was the go-to natural enhancer for plant propagation. The Salix genus includes over 400 willow species around the world. Make your own willow water Fermentation takes longer and locks in the benefits for long-term storage, but you can also make a faster version at home. You'll need young willow branches (ideally no thicker than a pencil and from the current year's growth), a large container or bucket, boiling water, and a glass jar or bottle for storing. Collect: Cut some young, healthy willow branches. The newer the growth, the higher the concentration of the rooting hormone (indolebutyric acid). Prepare: Remove all the leaves and cut the branches into small pieces, around 1-2 inches long. Steep: Put the pieces in the container or bucket and pour boiling water over them, making sure they are fully submerged. Let the mixture steep for 12-24 hours so the water extracts the rooting hormone from the willow. Strain and store: Strain the willow pieces out and collect the water in a glass jar or bottle. Your willow water rooting solution is now ready to use. Apply: For plant cuttings, soak the base in the willow water for several hours before planting. For already potted plants, water them with the solution to encourage root growth. Occasionally watering your plants with willow water can also give them a growth boost, thanks to the beneficial compounds in it. Storage and shelf life Store homemade willow water in the refrigerator if you are not using it right away. Use it within 2 months for best results, since the effectiveness may decrease after that. The fermented version lasts much longer, for years at room temperature. Benefits of willow water It is a natural alternative to commercial rooting hormones. It encourages root growth and can boost the overall health of the plant.
