STONER!

Some guru, eh?

Did the dude also own a hydro store? Not wanting to troll all I see is hype transferred from the human market to the plant market. I won't say for clones, but otherwise the stuff is an expensive way to water that does nothing to aid plant growth. Don't care what it has, it does not work.

There's no hype at all - unless it's between your ears.

'The Dude" had absolutely no idea about the use of aloe vera as a 'fertilizer' or anything else. Their business is extracting aloe vera gel/juice/extract and ship it in a form for the industries that I mentioned.

They/he could care less about organic growers investigating their product line. If every f*cking organic grower in the USA decided that aloe vera products were 'da sh*t' it wouldn't amount to didly-squat for this industry. Besides this company the main players are out of Mexico - about 10 actually. And another 15 or so in the USA and then there's China and India and not to forget North Africa and Central America.

Too many sheep to shear at the local health-food stores.

Thanks for asking!

It is still a waste. We are the ones transferring the hype. Why? The benefit is purely as a foliar and then only for it's soap properties. There are better alternatives as well as cheaper ones.We talk of gurus, well this is no different.Show me the documentation and let me know of any farmer heading to the health store to acquire some. They don't use it for orchards or any other high or low dollar hobby grow. I think you mentioned some obscure Australian study that went nowhere.
Thanks for attending.

bottled aloe is nothin like the fresh leaf. I always have at least one aloe plant.

I certainly did not post anything like that.

Voices in your head do not constitute facts - other than maybe to you.

Aren't you the guy who arrived on this venue chirping for some crap out of Fortuna? Or did I read your postings incorrectly and without the understanding which obviously must come from your definitions?

Other folks call your deal 'a straw man argument' - basic Debate 101 at Dog Turd High School.

Thanks for sharing.

and what does any of that have to do with aloe. You're talking in circles and saying nothing about it's actual value. Of course there isn't much to say.

I posted the value(s) contained in Aloe Vera and I structured my post for anyone with an 8th grade level of reading could understand or at least could take that information and look for further information/explanation.

You're contribution amounted to this, per se, "It is still a waste" which I suppose is based on your experience of tossing rotted material into a cistern, aerating it for a week or so and calling it an AACT.

Thanks for sharing once again.

It consisted of using fermented as well as fresh. Added to the water and applied to the soil, split open after picking 5 feet away. It also consists of prior experience with off the health food shelf. I found " rotted" in a bucket at least had a little compost value.
Enough about me now. I'm turning red.
Let's talk about aloe and saponins. Kind of like saying bacteria. What saponins and what specifically does each specific type do? It does not provide anything else of any importance at any significant amount.
There are far better sources for what it does have. It is redundant and pointless.
