Hello,
Thanks for the excellent resources and information presented in the organic soil section. I have learned alot and still learning more.
I am trying to get away from the hydro shop products but one I really like the results from is liquid budswel. So I started searching budswel and diy budswel since I wanted to make my own.
While doing some searching I found a post by ClackamasCootz
Excellent. Thanks for the recipe, After researching more and thinking things through. I have a few more questions about it.
------
Budwell 0-18-0
Guano source - Archipelago Bat Guano (ABG) and has been for over 30 years. Guano source is Indonesia.
To make the soluble Budswell 0-18-0 base formula.
1 cup of ABG guano to 1 gallon of water. 1/2 cup of EM-1 and 1/2 cup of a carbohydrate.
Let it sit and ferment for 2 - 3 weeks until you hit a pH of 3.2 or close as you can get.
Follow the application rate on the Budswel product.
------
That brings up some questions about the process and some of the missing ingredients.
Label indicates Budswel contains bat and bird guano, earthworm castings and seaweed. Or is it only guano?
I have ordered the following (some already had in hand, so open to more cost effective options until I have my own vermicomposting going) and was wondering if would they be satisfactory to implement into the recipe?
bat = abg guano (mentioned above)
bird = Primal Harvest Fossilized Seabird Guano
ewc = sanctuary soil buckaroo worm castings
seaweed = DTE kelp meal
sugar source = unsulphured blackstrap molasses
and
What do you suggest for amounts of each?
To get into the details of the process and make sure I understand correctly. I put the ingredients into my jug add un-activated EM then wait for the ph to drop.
That correct? Was not positive on whether I use activated on unactivated em.
Thanks for your time.
