It just seems like the labor would not be worth it.
Think of the time spent making it..... Is your labor worth less than $5 per hour? PLUS you have to spend the money on the other products anyway. a gallon of milk is running almost $4. box of rice will cost about $3 that's only saving you $13 overall but then factor in your labor. You actually spend more making your own.
And only get one form of bacilius to use.
We are not looking for P3 to be an all purpose spray.
It's a root colonizer. with anti- fungal, anti- pathogen, and anti- microbial properties.
So if you can get more in a single pellet than a 20 to 1 ratio of your homeade, why make it yourself?
Labor, 5 minutes to shake up a cup of rice and water and put aside for 3-5 days
Labor 5 minutes to extract fluid into another container and mix 7 parts mix to one part fluid. Set aside 7 days.
Labor 5 minutes to extract pure concentrate of LAB. 1 Liter if you follow the recipe.
(Cost 1 cup of rice, half gallon milk). To make 1 liter of purely high CFU LAB! Which will go further then your $20 pellets.
Let me show you. Once you have the Liter of Pure Highly concentrated LAB.
You add equal liter of molasses or brown sugar. Now you have 2 liters in a stabilized form ready for use.
This 2 liter concentrated is diluted to 20 parts h20 to 1 part of this concentrate. This by my calculation makes 20 Gallons.
Of this 20 gallons only 4 tablespoons are used to make a gallon to apply to plants and a variety of other general purpose applications.
Let's do the math. So it take $20 for rice, milk and molasses. This makes 20 gallons.
1 Gallon = 256 Tablespoons / at 4 tablespoons of a gallon to add to another gallon for application
This means 64 gallons of LAB can be used from one of the 20 gallons that can be made from the 2 liter concentrate.
So 20 gallons of this diluted concentrate produces 1,280 Gallons of usable LAB at a cost of $20.
It's a root colonizer. with anti- fungal, anti- pathogen, and anti- microbial properties. Just like P3 It's also possible to get additional strains using specific cultures from yogurts or other mediums.
So don't get me wrong here I am sure P3 has it's place in a grow.
However the idea here is that you can create something that is comparable and when you consider for $20 one can make 1,280 Gallons to be used not just to help produce better plants and yields which it WILL DO and we shall see compared to P3 cause I can afford it. But I am frugal and will not waste a high end product on general purpose applications.
So again the idea here was to offer those who can't see using a high end $20 product to deodorize trash, animal bedding, urine in carpets, clean their septic, sterilized lives stock bedding, add to livestock watering to reduce cost of feed and better nutrient absorption healthy animals.
When $20 spent creating 1,280 gallons will go a whole lot further.
Grow on my friends grow on
