This Comfrey Fermented Plant Extract is made with love on a small farm near Paonia Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices. This farm has been operating under the direction of Miles Filippelli since 2016 for the purpose of producing high quality plant inputs for BuildASoil and the Fermented Plant Extracts product line.
Lactobacillus bacteria are saprophytes, meaning they are decomposers, they break down organic matter. This trait is harnessed in the production of Fermented Plant Extracts where lactobacillus are fed specific nutrient dense food sources for the purpose of breaking down plant compounds and extracting them into a liquid form.
Derived From: Clean Mountain Water, Comfrey, molasses, sorghum syrup, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, and EM-1. This is then fermented until the plant matter is digested and extracted into the liquid and the sugars are consumed by the microbes to lock 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?
This particular Fermented Plant Extract is made from comfrey, a plant that is known to be nutrient dense, medicinal, and beneficial for local biodiversity. Comfrey has been used in many traditional settings as food, medicine, soil conditioners, foliar sprays, green mulches, etc. Comfrey Fermented Plant Extract is particularly useful for vegetative growth and in the transition from veg to bloom; however, Comfrey Fermented Plant Extract is very well rounded and can be used at any time of growth, it will do no harm to feed it during flowering as well.
Looking for mulch but don't have a farm in your backyard?We have access to an abundance of straw and are happy to ship you some for your small garden. Larger gardens will benefit from sourcing locally. This barley straw is not certified organic but comes from a local farm. There isn't a need to spray for pests and most of the local farms use chicken manure as the cheapest means to fertilize etc. There will be some foreign dried plant material as there always is with any straw bales.Looking for something that has NO seeds? Check out our Blue Oyster Mushroom Straw Logs. They are made on an organic mushroom farm and pre-sterilized before they grow mushrooms on them.
Useful Info
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 we do not fluff it up before packaging. So 1 bag will hold more than you think.

Quillaja Saponaria Extract Powder 20 BuildASoil is proud to partner with Jay Plantspeaker to offer 2 premium Versions of Quillaja Extract.>=20% Saponin for general use>=60% Saponin for when the most potent is wanted
How much Saponin is in your wetting agent? ************BEWARE: There are many low quality versions available because of a recent shortage from premium food grade suppliers. (The industry went crazy because they use the food grade Quillaja in Vaccines) Because of the shortage in the market place, we went to great lengths to secure and only provide the highest quality tested and verified Quillaja on the market. You'll be happy to know both versions are crafted from tested food grade materials. This means that both versions pass strict testing for Saponin, Heavy Metals, Pathogens and any adulterant. We are proud to offer you the original and the best.
Warning: Saponins May be harmful to fish. Please use with caution.************Because there is a such a difference in quality levels available and to further distinguish ourselves we are now labeling our products with the Saponin Percentage Minimum. BuildASoil customers absolutely love the Quillaja Extract 60 but have been asking for a more cost effective version for soil drenching and more regular use. Jay Plantspeaker and I have worked with our favorite supplier to offer our most natural version. When the quillaja tree bark is processed for it's saponin it goes through a process that will create a 20% saponin extract with the LEAST amount of processing. This makes the Quillaja 20 the least processed and most natural version.If you are after our premium Quillaja 60 for foliar spray or any reason, it's still available over here.Speak your plant's language! BuildASoil proudly welcomes the famous Jay Plantspeaker to our LEGEND SERIES to help you communicate with your plants in a truly meaningful way. Maybe your plants won't speak back, but they will show you they are happy. Using saponins found in Quillaja Extract Powder for your garden is an absolute game changer. This natural wetting agent makes water 'wetter' and foamy allowing for even spread. Made from the organic Quillaja (Q-Ya-Ha) Saponaria Tree, we can't speak highly enough of this plant extracted source of Saponins.
The difference? Thrive.N is 15-0-0 and this product just tested at 2-10-5 which is a HUGE number to hit for organic products. We have been searching for a product that will provide available P and K in balance to the plants for years without going to guano, Phosphoric acid or some other product that didn't fit the bill.The reason it works? The Thrive.N Freeze Dried Fish aminos actually chelate the specialty manufactured product and make the P more available. The results are stunning plant growth and well balanced product that will work through drip lines and foliar sprays.Ingredients: Premium Freeze Dried Fish Hydrolysate, Micronized Cal-Phos, Soluble Seaweed Extract and Sulfate of Potash. All these ingredients combine to make the ideal availability of organic P for your plants in balance with N and K and Ca.Most recent analysis shows immediately available 2-10-5 with about 2% calcium.Works in drip systems and foliar sprays or soil amending.
Key Points:
The Lignin's in Aloe Vera allow the plants to utilize the nutrient and moisture supply more efficiently with less stress on the plant. 
Plants grow healthier, larger and greener due to the plants ability to better use the UV rays from the sun allowing photosynthesis to take place more efficiently. 
Does not alter the genetic makeup of the plant.
Organically grown product.
Proven and documented by Texas A&M. 
The new aloe vera stabilization process is critical to obtain the result listed here. The first patent I was awarded was the hand filleted method. The rind was discarded and only the fillet was used. After 38 years it was discovered that a large percentage of the actives in the aloe vera plant were being thrown away with the rind. In 1962 I developed and patented the whole leaf method to stabilize the gel. Clinical studies showed this process to be superior to the hand filleted method of processing.In 1984, I received a third patent to process aloe vera to create a product to stimulate plant growth by processing the aloe vera leaves differently. It should be noted that this whole leaf aloe vera product can not be consumed orally. It is for plants only.It is hoped that this background information assists you in becoming more knowledgeable about our company and the benefits that can be derived from the use of our aloe product.
BuildASoil Worm Castings are simply the best bulk source of castings we have ever had the pleasure of working with, we often find living worms still inside the castings.Ôªø This stuff is wet and moist and will often have live worms and cocoons inside.

This pumpkin extract is made with love on a small farm in Paonia Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices.Note: The Fermented Liquid Pumpkin Extract is a seasonal product, and only available for a limited time! Get your own while supplies last!Derived From:  Probiotically Grown Pumpkins, Clean Mountain Water, EM-1, Home Made LABS (LactoBacillus Serum), Super Cera Powder, and Molasses. This is then fermented until the pumpkin is digested and extracted into the liquid and the molasses consumed by the microbes to lock in the PH for stability and ease of use in the garden.Why Use?Since starting BuildASoil we've been preaching DIY techniques. This particular fermented plant extract is made from pumpkins along with the whole plant, and all the information we have about fermenting your own extracts suggests that you should start with the part of the plant that you wish to grow. For instance, if you wish to get faster vegetative growth you would ferment fast growing green leaves to feed to your plants. However, if you wished to grow bigger flowers, you should ferment flowers to feed to your plants. It is with this idea, we fermented pumpkin plants and flowers to be used as an all natural bloom booster for your garden.

Beautiful Small Black Lava Rock looks like small/medium perlite and is much better.Please note that due to this products weight it is always shipped USPS.This small black lava rock comes with black lava rock powder in it and will add to the minerals in your soilLast longer than perlite, works like perlite, and provides minerals.Lava Rock will not shift and float to the top of your container like perlite.
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

BuildASoil Craft Blend started with a big workshop full of the best and cleanest soil amendments available. I quickly became spoiled and would use all of the BuildASoil ingredients together and in different combinations that aren't available here online. After discussing re-amending with a buddy and also Nutrient Tea Brewing he mentioned that I should combine every nutrient that we have into a fertilizer pack of the cleanest ingredients for everyone to use.
