I don't know whether it is safe for plants or if it will work but at least it won't blind the squirrels like the chili powder recipes can. Lots of these "homemade recipes" are more dangerous and damaging to both plants and animals than any possible benefit they claim to provide. Dave

I looked into the product some more on other forums and it seems the best part is the the root fungi. There are a ton of mycorrhizal fungi products available, are these products worthwhile or do they also fall under snake oil category? My biggest current need was a fertilizer for sweet potatoes and regular potatoes I have coming and the only one that looked promising was a 8-20-30 from Steele Plant company, yet I was looking for an organic equivalent. I liked the idea that the root fungi supposedly increase fertilizer uptake since none I have found are close to that 8-20-30 value. As for the super tonic product above, I never noticed it initially but when looking for more info last night, all the comments are on marijuana growing forums. Kinda weird. I found a thread here on how to make compost tea with a bubbler over 3 days which sounds familiar to above product, so maybe that's all it is with some fungi added? PS- I apologize if I offended anyone but I was highly insulted when I finally make an account here to ask two questions, soil info for sweet potatoes and thoughts on a product, and one goes unanswered and the second get me someone calling me a moron spammer. Kinda made me regret even posting in first place. Thankfully, I got some good info from Al in container forum earlier today that made me happier!

Seeds normally suppose to have everything there for sucessful germination, so they do not need extra nutrients on the start. Some seeds have oily surface and need to be soaked in water with touch of liquid soap. One of those I met were arisaema draconitum. I know many people use drop of liquid soap just in case for all their seeds. It sounds logical if seeds are very old one might try soaking them in beer to juzz up enzyme system. I read it on JL Hudson website as recommendation. I do soak up majority of my seeds in warm water/lukewarm/ for 3 days, changing water about every 12 hrs. I also sometimes soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide. Since I never had any control groups to call it experiment I can not say if hydrogen is helping or not. Generally my seeds germinate very quickly and I see no harm in using hydrogen. I have a good guess that seeds are very smart and will germinate despite our best efforts. ;)
