Foliar Spray

Foliar Sprays are often used in times of critical periods such as slow growth periods, flowering, heat stress, or injured root systems. When deficiencies show in your plant, you can use this spray for a "quick boost". Application is done through the use of a pump spray in which you thoroughly wet all leaf and green stem tissue. The best time to foliar feed your plants is early morning or dusk, once a week. Often, this foliar feed is made of seaweed or fish food extract. If your plants are lacking certain nutrients you can buy more nutrient specific sprays such as copper, calcium and iron sulfate foliar sprays.

Benefits:

• Acts as a biological catalyst which results in vegetative growth and more successful harvests
• Helps in developing resistance to pests and disease
• Increases photosynthetic activity through increasing chlorophyll production making the leaves greener and healthier
• Aids in root development and soil absorption

Compost Teas

Steeping compost in water, aerating, and straining creates compost tea. It can be applied as a mist using a pump spray, used through irrigation systems or drip irrigation. The goal in creating a compost tea is to brew a tea rich in microorganisms that will be beneficial to your plants health and growth.

Benefits:

• A tea highly oxygenated and aerated dramatically eliminates plant-disease causing bacteria, plant-toxic products and suppresses foliar diseases.
• By using compost tea you distribute good bacteria into the soil and leaves to consume bad bacteria, and compete for food and space.
• Reduce need for fertilizer
• Undo previous harm humans have done to the soil with chemical based fertilizers and pesticides
