Wizard Scarlet 8/31/20

I noticed today that the Wizard Scarlet plants have come differences in color.  It may be hard to see in the pictures, but the one in the green pot has a brighter green and more is a little more red in the purple areas of the leaves.  It's about an inch taller too.  They both look healthy, but the green pot seems a little more vibrant.  

I'll be taking my bean sprouts to my parent's yard, where they can be in the ground.  My Worm Solution bean sprout finally caught up to the other one and the leaves are bigger.  They are wrapping around the rails and starting to branch out.  Worm Solution plant is on the left and bottom pic.

Grass!

 

My son asked for help with his yard.  We went out one evening and soaked his lawn.  As you can see from the picture, he has a dead spot in the middle of his yard where a tree used to be.  Since trees prefer a more fungal soil, it wasn't ideal for grass which needs a bacteria heavy soil makeup.  I advised him to leave his grass clippings after cutting so that the bacteria that we put in are fed.  His dirt was also very compacted, so it's going to take some time to allow for the microbes to move around the soil and create those pathways and pockets that retain water and allow for root expansion.  His soil food web is well on it's way to being productive and protective!

After 5 days.

Here are some pics of the plants after 5 days.  Green is still WormSolution feeding and red is still rainwater and sunlight only.  The beansprout with the green arrow is leaning more, but it's almost as tall as the other.  The green Wizard Scarlet is doing something interesting.  It looks like there are a lot more leaves growing at the bottom.  All of the plants in the Green Pots are definitely more bushy than the Red Pots.  I'll put up more pics in a few days.

New round of tests!

We purchased pairs of plants that were as close to identical as we could find.  Worm Solution plants will go into the Green pots and regular rainwater plants will go into Red pots.  We'll track their performance weekly.  Stay tuned for updates.  Thanks.

What we know about Microbes (so far)

 In the book Teaming With Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis, there is a wealth of knowledge dealing with everything that should and shouldn't be going on in your soil that you use for growing.  At the heart of it all, your plants need microbes.  

There are microbes that protect your plants from micro predators.  Plants know this and create a substance in their roots that attract these microbes.  At the same time, plants create a substance that attracts the micro predators so that the protectors can eat them.  This keeps the protectors healthy and also keeps them at home in the plant's roots.  Very smart of these plants!

Everywhere around your plants, there are microbes eating microbes that eat microbes.  There is waste, decaying, carbon creation, and lots of other processes that keep the soil healthy.

We also know that chemical fertilizers kill this microbe wildlife and eventually will leave your dirt unable to grow anything.  Worm Solution is water that is passed through microbe filled worm castings many times so that it picks up the microbes and good bacteria that your soil needs to optimize the plant sustaining conditions in your garden.

If you're into organic food gardening, you're going to notice the difference in the smell and taste of your foods.  The first thing that we experimented on was sweet basil.  The worm solution basil produced a very strong basil and licorice smell after two weeks, where the plant watered with only rain water had a less potent odor that you had to practically touch to your nose to smell.  Also, when we pulled the top leaves off for cooking, the worm solution basil repaired and grew new leaves about 5 times faster.  

Try it for yourself and send us your results.  We're always glad to see healthy plants grown naturally and organically.

How to use the Worm Solution

Mix each 1 ounce packet with 64 ounces of rainwater.  If you're using tap water, please let it sit for 3 days to allow time for chlorine to dissolve.  This will be your plant food.  It contains live microbes and nutrients that plants love.  Apply with a spray bottle or pump sprayer.  

Keep this living plant food out of the sun as the UV light will kill the useful living microbes and bacteria.  

For general use, apply to stems and leaves as needed.  Usually, that is once every 1-2 weeks.

For flowers, do not spray directly on flower petals.  Use on stems and leaves as needed.

For trees or dying plants, mix with 32 ounces of rainwater and apply to stalks and leaves as needed.

Note:  This product is not a substitute for watering.  It is a supplement to heal and strengthen the plant without harming the environment.
