Aloe Vera & Coconut Juice to replace teas?

[keepsake]

I grow fresh aloe vera that I blend up with water and feed and foliar spray. I also mix coconut water and water to soil drench.

Are teas necessary? Sounds like a lot of work.

Coconut water is an alternative to seed sprout enzyme teas. Theres all kinds of other teas. Nutrient tea's, compost tea's, botanical tea's etc... If you're referring to compost tea's. You could just topdress worm castings and compost instead.

Aloe Vera is good as a surfactant

coco juice good for the fungi in soil ...I think

you still need them minerals and chems

N- for veg

P and K for bud

good luck

Wouldn't it get npk through the kelp, custacean, neem meal?

Glacial rock dust, gypsum, basalt, malted barley, alfalfa.

Those are all the amendments I use + bokashi, em1, and gro kashi .

You're fine. Coco water is mostly used for enzymes, saponins, and cytokinins.

Compost tea's imo are only needed if the soil dries out and nutrient tea's are for when you have nutrient deficiencies.

NPK is a hydro mentality. With living soil plants uptake what they want when they want. Try not to think in terms of npk

things that go off like coco water are fantastic for your soil biome. I whole heartily agree with all the previous posts. I think you are on a great path considering using these products

I use coco water and aloe water in every watering. I just bought another gallon of aloe from walmart tonight

I grow aloe and just blend it up with my water and feed/spray. I hope thats an effective way to use it.
