Growing it is probably the cheaper route but I can’t grow them worth shit. The smallest bag BaS offers is like 20-25?
Organic no till, probiotic, knf, jadam, vermicomposting, soil mixes, sips etc... Q & A

Get the gallon jug of 99.8% pure aloe juice at WalMart, a bit over $6 for the gallon. Get the plain, but they do offer flavors for the folks that drink some daily. Good stuff and cheap.

I was merely expressing happiness over your moment of clarity and understanding, not trying to take credit for anything and you respond like this?
Get over yourself.

Nope. Don't use that. It has citric acid in it.

Aloe growing tip. They do not grow well in fabric pots because the soil dries out too fast and aloe roots grow pretty slow and they do produce thick roots. Imo they do best in clay terracotta pots or in the ground. Don't over water or under water them. If they get pale, they're under watered.
I grow mine in clay terracotta pots and those plastic terracotta style self warering ( sip ) pots that are sold at home depot.. They seem to grow faster and bigger in the clay pots.

I see the product but it is hard to find information about it. What is the difference between Super Cera and EM1? Really, the question is if I should invest in it because I have EM1 already and plan on making my own Lacto B next time. I'm putting together a shopping list to make Gro-Kashi and going to stop by the brew store tomorrow for the red wheat. Gro-Kashi really sparked my interest when he was talking about obtaining a high brix value. Your right, it will take about $200 to make Gro-kashi but I feel that it is the missing piece of the puzzle.
I might try Youngevity for myself, it looks interesting and has very positive reviews. I'm sure that it don't take much of it for Gro-Kashi. I think that I have been caught up on N-P-K values and soil testing for too long. I keep getting the same answer on soil tests anyways, low in micros. That is why I want to focus on "High Brix" and Gro-Kashi addresses that issue!

It was just a question and didn't mean any negativity. I actually had a nice aloe plant last year but I didn't know what to do with it... I am going to focus on companion plants like comfrey, aloe, wort, and whatever that will help. I came across an article that talked about a plant that was high in Mn, which is always low on my soil tests, but I can't remember which wort it was. It wasn't Mug-wort but the other wort.

It may be the em1 and rock dusts in the gro kashi that help with brix levels.
I make boakshi with with;
Red wheat
Lab serum (not activated )
Molasees
Himilayan salt
Photosynthesis plus (contains pnsb)
Rock dusts. ( I used basalt last time. I may try azomite next time).
I haven't tried beet juice. That may help with brix levels too.
The flower power fruit ferment has increased the brix levels more than anything else I've ever used. I have used about 5 bags of gro kashi before making my own bokashi for the first time.
Btw i get red wheat at $11 for 25 lbs at a horse feed store.

@MustangStudFarm super cera is fermented ceramic clay thats then fired i think. There's threads on pfa from 3 years ago where Alan was discussing removing super cera from the recipe to get a clean green certification.

Does the "Youngevity" have anything to do with it? He kept talking about prenatal vitamins during the podcast and kept describing treating the plant like a young lady getting ready for child bearing.
I was actually looking around my yard for FPJ material and this is what I came up with. A roma tomato plant that stopped producing but is still very healthy and vibrant. It's still producing flowers, but not like it was a couple of weeks ago.
I think that this is Chinese Basil, very fragrant.
I'm not sure what this is, but it is still vibrant.

It's expensive and I was wondering if it was really helpful anyways???
I mixed the barley with the soil and didn't top-dress. I still have plenty and it's cheap. I've noticed some interesting mold coming from them, some multicolored but mostly white fuzz.

As long as its fast growing its good for an fpj. I ferment some fast growing flowers that bloom year round and produce pinkish flowers that grow all over my moms house. I need to get some comfrey going again.
