yes sir 

chitinase can be found in a few places like crustaceans but one easy way to get  chitinase enzyme is though using malted barley powder 

coffee grin the the barley & top dress , water in with aloe fluvic & silica & watch your plant pray to shiva 

 

if ya pop over here http://www.rollitup.org/t/chitin-chitoson-and-chitinase.604708/ this has a good run down on chitin chitinase chitosan

 

well i tried telling a funny story & , well i made a detour , turned left when i should have gone right , opps , sorry folks 

Do you have a good source for the Aloe and Silica?

If ya wanna keep it simple and pay a bit extra, and get everything pre-made, this guy seems to be doing most of what we need https://www.livingsoil.com.au/ .... But... You can get Aloe powder that you dilute from http://aloeveraaustralia.com.au/aloe-vera-powder.html and silica from here https://planthealthsolutions.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=65&product_id=224

Q's got your back ^^^

Legends!

 

I used your malt barley link that you put in another thread itchy, great service and cheap as chips.

 

Diatomaceous earth is a source of silica as well isn't it? Is there a reason you would use the the liquid in the link above rather than diatomaceous earth?

in short foliar spraying 

silica on it's own is a good foliar but you can use as emulsification for oils in ipm sprays 

 

silica in the soil is prob better if it's fed to the soil in the form of rock dust & herbs like horsetail  

better if it comes out the but of bugs  

 

that liquid potassium silicate is just handy at times being ready to mix , no need to though if already in 

the soil mix & being top dressed into the mulch layer

Ok cheers for clearing it up,.

 

Will probably end up with all of it and more eventually!

cool mate 

silica fulvic & aloe are at the top of my list 

 

lots of stuff you can use are cheap , corn seed for seed sprout tea = could buy pop corn from coles

but would recommend buying organic heirloom corn seed & buy in bulk not packets

 

barley seed , same as malted barley but lill cheaper & a lill more work to use it than malted barley  

 

alfalfa / lucerne seed sprout tea , this is hot shit so very careful with this one if using it , but again buy in bulk much cheaper 

 

all the herbs you can grow yourself & use in mulch layers , just needs a bit of pre thinking for whats ahead in a grow

Yeah its a slow process but you start to slowly build it all at home, few costs at first but it's awesome learning just how much you can do yourself on the cheap if you have it all set up properly. Haven't got too far into my teas yet, that's the next step.

 

Any one dealt with this site?

Seems like it might be the same as

https://www.organicgardeningsolutions.com.au/

 

They are on Ebay as well, seems like a good spot to get a few things in the same place if legit.

it's great to see these bizz turning up here in oz 

the idea being , they do the work on sourcing quality organic amendments 

& putting them all in the one spot , very much like the buildasoil model in the US

 

at the mo they are pricey but i will try to support these guys where i can

 

i've been chasing amendments for sometime B4 these guys turned up , got used

to buying bulk which makes it allot cheaper & hard to justify the extra spend 

 

if your a organic grower i would suggest supporting these guys if you can , the more 

bizz they do should bring down prices over time
