Kimchi smells better :yum:

I keep the lid on the jar to prevent smells but if you spill a drop you will know about it. All of the good stuff like horsetail, alfalfa, stinging nettle, comfrey,seaweed etc is STINKY.

There’s no smell in plants after application. I use hand sanitizer, African black soap or LABS for spills

I have several rooms with carpet but the Dyson vacuum cleaner is used mostly for spills and cleaning tent, garage floors near compost bin and veg or flower closet :sweat_smile:. A little shop vacuum would also get liquid so that will be Dyson replacement… live and learn

How much bio live would you add for 5 gallons of tea?

I grabbed some of that. It looks like great stuff.

The box advise 1/4 to 1/2 cup per gallon of soil. I would use 2 tablespoons per gallon of water. Starr with less than the minimum amount because you can always increase the fertilizer in the next application but you cannot subtract it from your current application. Check the status of your plant and increase if needed.

Normally when I add kelp I just put a dash. Maybe I should push it up a bit next time. I’ll try that out, thanks!

I love bio live ! I just use less than a handful per gallon when up-potting with the soils - it contains lots of different bacteria beside just nice organic material. I haven’t tried making a tea with it…

It’s main focus is expanding root growth and creating a starting point of microbiology in your soil. I would perhaps consider stick to the mixing in rather than making a tea

Wow, not a large sample size, but convincing. Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I’m switching over to it.

It is a loyal nutrient source! One box last me a very long time! I am light with the nutrients though

I think you will find a new shade of green with your bio-live adventure

We are not going to be able to get it here, soon. I need to go grab a 50 lb bag. Apparently there is a labeling issue. Some idiot wants them to expound on alfalfa meal. :joy:

No way! If you need da organix plug my inbox is open :laughing:

Alfalfa meal is a very powerful tool also - It will tell plants 2 bloom. Very neat because it is plant based food

Plus alfalf is supposed to be a bioaccumulator. Tons of nutrients in it!

Thanks for the offer. I will keep that in mind.

I have a box of Bio-live for several years. I only need small amount for top dressing. Most of its ingredients are within the compost

Several alfalfa sources:
Sprouted seed is strongest
Alfalfa hay is cheapest and contains seeds, will nourish the soil, chop and drop mulch
Meal for soil amendment or rehydrated foliar or watering
Pellets for water
Can be used from seed to bloom
