Just to clarify by organic products I mean inputs, amendments, beneficial bugs, minerals, IPM(integrated pest management) mulch etc.
KELP- Kelp contains over 75 vitamins, minerals and micronutrients. Stimulates root development and plant growth. Increases tolerance to stress, frost, pests, disease and drought.
ALOE VERA- Salicylic acid and Saponins are what make this plant so wonderful. The Salicylic acid is an aspirin-like compound with anti -inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-bacterial properties. The Saponins also provide defense amongst other bacteria and viruses. Also, improving aeration.
INSECT FRASS-This is insect poop. Much like worm castings or bat guano. Except this is has an immediate plant available source of Chitin (pronounced KITE-iN)
Chitin triggers an auto immune signal in the plant. Causing the plant to go in to protect mode . How, You ask. Strengthening cell walls, and creating more biomass in the form of new growth (Leaves and chutes). Also, releasing metabolites to fight off pest and pathogens.
I hope to keep this list going by continuously adding more on a bi weekly basis.
Happy Growing
