Description
Fermented Liquid Peach Extract is made from ripe, orchard-grown peaches on a small farm near Paonia, Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices. It is a seasonal product.
What's in it
- Orchard grown peaches
- Clean mountain water
- Molasses
- Sorghum syrup
- Lactic acid bacteria sourced from local goat whey
- Super Cera Powder
- EM-1
The mix is fermented until the peach fruit 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
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: ripe peach fruit is fermented to make an all-natural bloom booster for your garden.
Useful info
Lactobacillus varieties are:
- Ubiquitous, meaning they are everywhere.
- Facultative, or surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
- Microaerophilic, which is biology speak for preferring environments with less oxygen than typical environmental air, like in soil.
- Rod shaped. Bacillus means "wand" or "small staff."
- Heterofermentative, which translates to producing a variety of outputs including nutrients, CO2, yeasts, acids, and carbohydrates, which plants crave.
- Antipathogenic. In biology that can mean effective and beneficial microbes outcompete and overcome "the bad guys," or pathogenic microbes, often present in decomposition.
