Anybody use it on their bananas ?
Im hesitant to use it as Ive got way to many bananas fruiting now , if thats possible LOL
I have been using it the last few months on the rest of my fruit trees and have seen dramatic results everything is producing heavy crops this year ...
This is Basically a lazy mans sprouted seed tea ...
Go to the beer brew store buy 6 row or 2 row malted barley NOT milled or roasted
Grind in a coffee grinder finer the better 1oz per gallon water
Brew it for 4 hours, with aeration is best but no more than 4 hours it will make acetic acid at some point .
I usually add a Tsp Humic acid per gallon.
Use as a soil drench no more than every 2 weeks
It seems to be most effective on plants that are heavy feeders so I assume bananas will respond quickly and should make them fruit faster.
I started using it on plants that just wernt thriving and had steller results
The only negative was on my bromeliads it gave them deformed leaves they like to grow slow ..
This is not fertilizer but an enzyme kinda like fulvic acid on steroids LOL
Best thing is it is cheap and easy ...
Brew 10 gallons for about a buck.
I grow organic so not sure how plants will react if you grow with chemical ferts ..
