  • Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts: Liquid Comfrey Extract - 1 GAL

    Build-A-Soil Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts: Liquid Comfrey Extract - 1 GAL

    In stock

    Growing Organic Liquid Comfrey Extract is a Fermented Plant Extract made from comfrey. 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, Comfrey, molasses, sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, and EM-1. It is then fermented until the plant matter 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. Ingredients: Water, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, Molasses, Sorghum Syrup, Plant Matter (Comfrey), EM1 Why use it Comfrey is known to be nutrient dense and beneficial for local biodiversity, and it has been used in many traditional settings as a soil conditioner, foliar spray and green mulch. This extract is particularly useful for vegetative growth and in the transition from veg to bloom. It is also well rounded and can be used at any time of growth, and it will do no harm to feed it during flowering as well.

  • Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts - Seasonal Farm Crafted Willow Ferment - 1/2 GAL

    Build-A-Soil Growing Organic Fermented Plant Extracts - Seasonal Farm Crafted Willow Ferment - 1/2 GAL

    In stock

    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.

  • Build A Soil Pumice - 7 Quart (1/4"-3/8")

    Build-A-Soil Build A Soil Pumice - 7 Quart (1/4"-3/8")

    In stock

    Horticultural grade pumice in a 3/8" x 1/4" size, well suited to potting soil. Pumice is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that requires minimal processing, and this pumice is sourced from clean, natural deposits. Why horticultural grade Horticultural grade pumice is very porous for holding air. Approximately 50% will float and 50% will sink, which is ideal for soil building. Some pumice mines are also full of obsidian, which is what perlite is made from. Pumice from those mines sinks 100% and does not add the same air-holding properties. When making potting soil, insist on horticultural grade. What it does in soil Optimizes drainage Retains and evenly distributes moisture and nutrients Improves root aeration and promotes strong root growth Minimizes root diseases Excellent for living organic soil and also for bonsai Good to know Low in heavy metals (also used in beauty products) Does not contain clay or organic material, such as montmorillonite, illite or kaolinite Clean, with no disease or weed seeds, and environmentally friendly Uses Pumice is used in living organic soil, houseplant mixes, bonsai and cactus mixes, and succulent blends. Its lightweight, porous structure helps prevent root rot and promotes proper drainage, and it enhances soil aeration and supports root development. It also works as a mulch, helping retain moisture while preventing soil compaction, and it can be used as a replacement for perlite. Pumice is used to build soil that lasts, which is more sustainable than throwing potting soil away after each use.

  • Formula EM-5 - All Natural Garden Cleaning Concentrate - GAL

    Build-A-Soil Formula EM-5 - All Natural Garden Cleaning Concentrate - GAL

    In stock

    Formula EM-5 is an all-natural garden cleaning concentrate and plant wash, a versatile tool that is typically made at home. This is the pre-made, shelf-stable version, so there is no brewing and fermenting first. A homemade recipe is included below. What's in it Purified water, organic EM-1, organic apple juice concentrate, organic grape alcohol, organic yucca extract, organic apple cider vinegar and organic peppermint essential oil. It is safe to spray on flowers when diluted and is best used throughout the growing season. The essential oils that are the active ingredient are exempt from EPA registration as a minimum risk pesticide. Directions Use 1 ounce per gallon for normal foliar spray use in container gardens. Use up to 8 ounces per gallon for problems such as the growth of algae, odor-causing bacteria and mold stains. Use as a general household cleaner for any purpose. Homemade EM-5 recipe The fermentation extracts properties out of plant materials and the alcohol and retains them in the liquid. The EM-1 in the recipe is the fermentation catalyst. It is an all-natural mix of water, EM-1, a distilled spirit, molasses and vinegar that anyone can make. The formula for one gallon of EM-5 is as follows (1:1:1:1:20): 3/4 cup EM-1 3/4 cup molasses 3/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider) 3/4 cup distilled alcohol (vodka, whiskey, tequila) Add some other plant material (fresh hot peppers or garlic, or fresh herbs that have known pesticide properties like mint leaves, lavender, eucalyptus, melaleuca, neem, etc.) Fill the gallon container with warm water (110-120 degrees F) Seal and ferment until pH goes below 4.0 Spray EM-5 alternately with EM-1 or Fermented Plant Extract through a hose-end sprayer. The most successful programs alternate EM-5 applications with Activated EM-1 (AEM-1) and EM FPE (fermented plant extract). Sample program People often set up an informal program like this, diluting the AEM-1, EM-5 or EM FPE with 500 parts water: Week one: apply AEM-1, 1 gallon for a 1/2 acre property Week two: apply EM-5, 1 gallon for a 1/2 acre property Week three: apply EM FPE, 1 gallon for a 1/2 acre property Week four: apply AEM-1, 1 gallon for a 1/2 acre property This pattern is repeated throughout the growing season.

    Description Yah Whey by Thrive Probiotics Revolutionary liquid probiotic crafted from the Whey of Kefir Warning: Contents are alive and may build pressure — vent regularly and see storage notes below for details. Researching Kefir quickly leads one to find a myriad of legends pertaining to this ancient, thousands of year old, practice of fermenting milk to produce a stable probiotic. This probiotic is legendary for its health properties. Ingredients: Purified Water, Organic Molasses, Yeast Cultures, Lactic Acid Bacteria, Humic Acid Whey from kefir grains have a complex microbial biology composition with polysaccharides, nutrients, minerals and proteins. These fermented compounds create a diverse probiotic whey for your plants and soil. Soon you'll be shouting, YAH WHEY!!!!! As your plants pray to the light. Check out the photo of the active fermentation. That is without any magnification! The image is taken with a normal cell phone camera. So what does that have to do with growing plants? Organic matter in the garden is broken down by probiotics, but an often forgotten component is the Nitrogen that the breakdown requires to speed up the process. Composting is all about Carbon to Nitrogen ratios. Organic Potting soils can have high carbon and when amending with rice hulls and organic amendments the soil can have an elevated C:N ratio which means the soil will be taking Nitrogen for a while before it starts to release it again. Now that you understand the problem, you can clearly see the solution. YAH WHEY! When you use stabilized Kefir Whey designed by Thrive you will be simultaneously feeding the soil much needed amino proteins (Nitrogen) That will help the breakdown of nutrients and also make readily available food for your plants. Once you see the level of calcium, nutrients and vitamins that are contained within kefir and combine that with the knowledge of the diversity of lactobacillus cultures present you can really start to understand that this is more than your average product. This Yah Whey was made to help your soil and your plants THRIVE! Storage: Keep product in dark cool area. Keep fully sealed after use. For extended storage (4-12 months) store in fridge. Contents will expire after 12 months if not opened. Contents contain living organisms, use accordingly. Secondary fermentation may occur, causing the bottle to expand. Regularly vent by unscrewing the cap, to mitigate bottle expansion. Directions It can be used as a soil-drench or foliar application: 0.5-1 Ounces per gallon Foliar Applications, Seed Starting and Rooting Clones (Plug or Aeroponic Rooting) 1-2 Ounces/Gallon of water for Soil Drench applications 2-4+ Ounces/Gallon for Composting, Animal Feed, and starting your own Ferments

  • Bulk Diamond K Gypsum - Solution Grade - 50LB

    Build-A-Soil Bulk Diamond K Gypsum - Solution Grade - 50LB

    In stock

     Description Premium 97 Solution Grade Diamond Gypsum The first step in building potting soil or in building native soil is to get the calcium right! Gypsum is Calcium Sulfate and is excellent calcium source for no-till growers. The added sulfur helps keep terps high and the soil balanced.  EXTREMELY PURE 97% Calcium sulfate dihydrate, the purest available on the market. HIGHLY SOLUBLE 97% passing 200 mesh and 92% passing 325 mesh means it goes into solution faster and more completely than other sources. IMPROVES LOW – SOLUTE WATER Adds minerals to pure water to improve water penetration into soil. LOWER APPLICATION RATES Other western gypsum sources can require up to 4x more product to get the same results. HELPS RECLAIM SODIC SOILS Ultra-soluble calcium to replace and leach sodium in the soil. How to Use Use at lower rates (50-400 lb/acre) than non-soluble gypsum, but more frequently For foliar rates use 1-10 lb/acre Can be used for fertigation 1-2 tablespoons per 5 gallons for container gardening/flush When irrigating with gypsum, it's best used in small amounts more often rather than forcing a large amount at at time.  Stock Solution & Injector Setup Gypsum is only slightly soluble. A true “solution” can’t reach the strength you need, so this is a slurry. Keep it agitated and filtered. Stock mix (works well as a slurry) 8 oz gypsum (by weight) per 1 gallon of water. 8 oz = 226.8 g per gallon of stock. How much finished water will that treat at 2 g/gal? 226.8 g ÷ 2 g/gal = ~113.4 gallons finished water.  Using an injector Target dose is 2 grams per gal finished. Required stock strength by ratio: 1:100 → need 200 g/gal in stock (= ~7.06 oz/gal) Adding 8 oz/gal stock gives ~2.27 g/gal finished—slightly “hot” but close and totally fine to use as a go to ratio. If you want it exact you will want to weigh your gypsum in house and extrapolate that way. 1:128 (common Dosatron) → need 256 g/gal (= ~9.03 oz/gal) For 1:128, use ~9.0 oz/gal stock to land right at 2 g/gal finished. Because the numbers are close you could just use the 8 Ounces per gallon but the level of precision is up to you. Practical tips for slurry injection Agitate constantly if possible.  Keep the injector pickup 2–3" above the bottom so it draws well-suspended slurry, not settled silt. Strain the slurry into the stock tank (paint strainer bag) and keep the inline 200-mesh filter clean. Don’t co-tank with phosphate-heavy or carbonate/alkaline products (can precipitate). Flush the system with clear water after dosing
