THAT'S THE ENTIRE LIST.
I have this list on my wall. It's been posted a bunch of times and i'd have to agree, it should be a sticky somewhere. I have made some wonderful bubbled lactobacillus acidopholus concoxions from this list to feed my plants under the direction of some of the members of this group. Figure the plants deficit or need and mix some of the stuff on the list into water and bubble with earth worm castings for micro's or use the Lacto, method and it works well.
you lost me what is all this you talk about? and yes I believe it means burnt cucumber skins. I didn't write the info I just copied it I found it looking for npk values of molasses. whats this bubble you talk about and are you using yogurt? lactobacillus acidopholus concoxions
