Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

[GreenSanta]

I have a question regarding bio roots stimulant, I was looking at the ingredients on the bottle of general organic (general hydroponic) and the second ingredient was brewer's yeast. Has anyone here used brewer's yeast to improve the roots of their plants?

Yes - and a few drops of beer are good for seed starting


Here is the surprise Mulanje compost baby today:

im sure it works. theres yeast in gro kashi and liquid karma. Yeast is full of bacteria.. probably works along the lines as sst with barley seed.

Thanks GreenSanta....

I encourage everyone who has yet to see that video to do so, inspiring! Once you go BioChar you'll realize how better of your plants are!

You should be able to find at a local brewery. It also comes in brewer's kits.

For now I am only looking for feedbacks and if people have tried it around here, it can be done with naturally made freshly activated yeast, it would not have to be dried yeast ... i d like to know what kind of ratio I would have to use too.

I don't know if you have a restaurant depot up there. They sell all kinds of yeast in blocks. for beer, pizza, bread , etc....

I want to try bio char but no where to do it..

biochar is a summer project for me... but yeah guys I know where to get yeast!!! I know how to make my own natural yeast as well!!! what I want to know is if anyone has seen benefits using brewer's yeast because I saw it on the list of ingredients for a root booster ... I wasnt going to buy the bottle but it got me thinking that it might be something to look into !

I think you could make bmo with it. Mix with castings and let the fungi takes it course.

I have been using my ash left over from my grill and fire pit to make biochar for my compost, so it can be done year round. I can't wait to do it on a larger scale though. I own almost 100 acres, but there are a lot of other farmers around me and when the summer comes around they do not want to see fires...lol. I like the you tube video I think it will be helpful to a lot of people.

Is the 'ash' very brittle like the char? Ash and char are different.

 

[foreverflyhi]

Red is right, also the ash from tjat type of coal has been treated with chemicals to catch fire easier, however i believe you c an add in compost and it eventually breaks down.

 

[RedCarpetMatches]

Cowboy is a brand of charcoal that you can use for char. HD and Lowes both carry it.

We have mesquite charcoal at our stores that looks to be perfect bio-char! It is a bag full of black tree parts.

I moved some of the compost pile around last weekend and the soil underneath soaks up water like a sponge now!

 

[iforgotmymeds]

Hello guys, not to worry I know the difference between ash and char. And to answer the questions I use wood for my grill and well I did say fire pit for like yard campfires, I don't use charcoal for that..haha. I think someone earlier in this thread said their is borox in charcoal, but I live in the northwest it rains so much that I would not be surprised if it is rinsed out by the next year. Can biochar be bought to add to compost?, if you can't make your own, because I know people who use barrels or small bins to make compost, when they don't have a yard.

I like theses peeps http://www.kisorganics.com/products/shop/kis-biochar. I got a sample recently that was VERY fine...like rice hull fine!!! I'd recommend a mesh to hold the small stuff in. Looks like a great product and for the price I might not make anymore...unless I'm drunk and high and want to play with fire muahahahaha!
