AksalaOk...I ordered just a little 2 oz bottle of the dr bronners castile soap...if it works good I'll get a bigger bottle later.
How much per gallon should i use? Guessing like a tsp or maybe little less...but if I'm way off lemme know guys.

How much of the Yucca powder do you use for 1 gallon of liquid? A local company has a Yucca root powder for about $10.00 per pound - is that a fair price compared to the product that you're using?
The supplier was not able to give me much help on an application rate as they sell this product to manufacturers of HABA (health and beauty aids) companies so it's going into pills and capsules.
Thanks for any input!

Hey CC-
I use 1/2-1 TBSP per gallon. The tub I have is 1 lb and I think it usually sells for like $7-8.
As far as I can tell, this Humes product is not the root. The label just says it's soluble yucca. My hunch is that the root is the part of the plant with therapeutic uses for humans and surely more difficult/expensive to produce than just the blades of the yucca plant, so perhaps that's why it's a bit more expensive.
HTH
StankieCC, Do the antiseptic properties of aloe vera juice concern you when used in a organic grow?
That is a lot, no? 1 tbs = 15ml Therefore 1-2oz = 2-4 tbs/galDignan
Well that settles it. Once I finish up the liquid Yucca extract I'll switch over to the Yucca powder. It's certainly far, far more cost effective. The landed cost for the organic (no preservatives) Yucca extract liquid is right around $32.00 per quart/liter and the suggest application rate is 1 - 2 ounces per gallon of water, i.e between $1.00 and $2.00 per gallon.
Even at $10.00 per lb. for the product that's available down the road a bit, the powder is a far better deal. I mean we're talking about a desert plant. LOL
Thanks for the application rate info.
