Who says smoothies are just for humans?

Hello all. Are you making smoothies? Recycling all the leftovers of veggies and beneficial plants, nutrient rich colored leaves dropping off trees for the season, castings, saprophytic and lignin digesting fungi?

During the fall season plants and the soil composition are dying off for the year. The pretty color changes of the leaves people like to look at in trees are the chemical compounds being delivered back from the solar panels (leaves) into the vascular system and eventually to the roots for winter antifreeze for lack of a better word. The sugars and starches absorbed back into the roots raise the freezing temp of plain water over winter so the plant doesn't freeze on the first cold day.

The fall is possibly the best time to catch free organic nutrients. Like maple syrup farmers drain the trees of sap in fall as they drop their nutrients back to the roots. Thats all maple syrup is.

I mean all the fulvic and humic acids are very beneficial from that and utilizing as a nitrogen source in your compost and stuff is great. I would be very nervous introducing that into my sterilized bug free environment as a mulch.

The parts we throw out in fruits and vegetables in our kitchen: The skin and butts of most fruiting bodies is the most aerobic and has the highest compounds of anti pathological compounds as the precept the goodness inside that we eat. Similar to using seed sprouts blended up for start life enzymes. End life enzymes are just if not more powerful

Ive been using these smoothies for a long time and don't have problems if you cook them properly in your tubs and let your substrate come to life for a bit before planting.

Does anyone use aloe or yucca blended as a wetting agent / host plant vaccine?

As Aloe causes a plant to spontaneously trigger rapid pathogen fighting properties from the aloe bacteria being distressed and not the plants actual response? These smoothies do somewhat the same thing

I want an example and instructions on how to make this smoothie like how do you mix and apply this smoothie are you talking about natural root enhancers or using the blender to make a concentrate that you mix in to water im about to leave.

So for an example. And your mileage may vary due to your current soil and biology. But for a 25 gallon air tub I use: I would blend ( in the cheapest blender Walmart offers) 5 pounds of leaves fallen still in the red and yellow color spectrum, mixed with 1 quart of PH'd to 6.0 spring water per pound. I use 10 aloe butts ( bottom 3" of the leaf so auxin compound is almost out or very low of this section of plant, earthworm castings in the fall are also higher in compounds as worms are expecting weather changes and eating higher chemical compound dropping leaves and nutrients. I use leftover rice from the kitchen until I reach 2 lbs at varying intervals for sugar and quick available carbohydrates. And the you can use your varied fruit and vegetable skins (melons are best) from the kitchen as long as you wash them well first up to 2 lbs total weight. You should wind up with about a 4 gallon bucket of solution. I pour this solution slowly over a 25 gallon air tub in a non draining bottom plate and let it soak up the nutrient solution over a few hours. I cook this for 1-3 months before using again

I used to add aloe vera powder (concentrate) from Build-A-Soil once week into my watering's for plant health the first few years of growing. Over time I phased it out as an expense and pursued other expenses on products like recharge, power si (silica), and photosynthesis plus c+. It's good to be reminded the benefits like what you mentioned "rapid pathogen fighting properties." Hearing it makes me want to reinvest in aloe vera.

Wow! This sounds like a rich organic concoction rich in life and nutrients. Are you indoor, outdoor? I assume with this level of care and doing you have a veg garden too.
