[compost_tea] Re: minerials from pink salt crystals
I use a mineral salts solution (sole) in my microbe food recipe for making =
AACT. I have been using my current recipe for microbe food going on two yea=
rs now. Along with myself local gardeners use the recipe as well. The AACT =
is produces has been peer/microscope reviewed many times over the past few =
years.
I use mined salts from the Himalayas, Bolivia and Alaea salt from Hawaii. =
When mixed with water the solution is called Sole (so-lay), a 26% saline so=
lution. I suggest Googling up as many references to is as possible if you =
want history, claims and research. Salt is an amazing substance…"Salt is=
born of the purest of parents: the sun and the sea." Pythagoras
To your point. I make my microbe food recipe 16 pounds at a time. That qu=
antity contains 4 ounces of sole. To break that down further, I use 2 poun=
ds of my microbe food recipe in my 30 gallon vortex brewer (airlift). Some=
of the gardeners use 8 ounces of my microbe food recipe for 5 gallon brews=
.
I hope that helps put some perspective on your own use of sole.
Best Regards,
Richard
BTW I use sole in my drinking water, a half a teaspoon per liter of clean w=
ater.
