    Wetting Sphagnum

    You could try SLS. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003WBZLO4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1396239275&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40 Looks like Yucca juice or Aloe Vera juice will work too.

    Stuffed Pablano peppers....

    Any Spanish rice mix will work. I just made my own with some spices to taste. The cilantro dressing was from a restaurant called RIO. I asked for an extra cup. It is a creamy cilantro dressing. This cilantro dressing is very close. It will work...

    Stuffed Pablano peppers....

    Well I was at the store yesterday and couldn't resist the big Pablano peppers. I picked up 2. My kids have never had stuffed peppers. Here is the finished product. We ate the first one so fast I couldn't get a pic. I will include my list of ingredients later this evening. Tasted great. This...

    Anyone using Clear Rez? Make your own with MIOX Pen...

    It looks like the people at MIOX have figured out how to keep HOCL higher % in solution. Take a look at how ther can generate hypo on site or MOS on site for better usage. The little pen is just a miniature version of this...

    My first functional Ebb & Flood setup

    My PH went back up to 7.5, I just dropped it to 6. I also added 16ml of (50%) hydrogen peroxide to 4 gallons of water. I think this will help. I need to change some tubing on my pump today. I will empty my tank then.

    Anyone using Clear Rez? Make your own with MIOX Pen...

    I know your not stalking me. I'm just the Mac Gyver type probably like you. The Clear Rez is a product the eZCloner people market. http://www.ezclone.com/our-products/solutions/clear-rez-2/ It works really well but can be pricey. If you look at the MSDS sheet it is a small amount of HOCL...

    Anyone using Clear Rez? Make your own with MIOX Pen...

    I have heard great things about ezclone's Clear Rez. I know a lot of people think it is just bleach. It is not just household bleach. It contains HOCL (hypochlorous acid). Household bleach contains HOCL as it's main disinfectant. Imagine if you could make your own...

    soil Sorbitol 20, non-ionic surfactant for potting soil

    APE is some bad stuff. I don't think I want it anywhere near me. Especially in a food plant. Do you guys research stuff before you buy & use it? I research and read MSDS to see how bad stuff is. APE will accumulate in your body...

    soil Sorbitol 20, non-ionic surfactant for potting soil

    I was thinking of using it for old soil to rejuvenate it. There are a lot of other wetting agents out there, most are very bad even toxic. Remember, I'm growing food, not pretty flowers.

    soil Sorbitol 20, non-ionic surfactant for potting soil

    That is why they add wetting agents to it during production. Sorbitol 20 side effect is a wetting agent.

    soil Sorbitol 20, non-ionic surfactant for potting soil

    I have pearlite in my old mix of peat moss. The peat moss is like and old dried out sponge. If you soak it long enough (30 min) it will take water up. That is every time. I'm trying to avoid that. I need it to soak up water immediately, so nutes also don't run off.

    soil Sorbitol 20, non-ionic surfactant for potting soil

    I have heard of people using non ionic surfactants to help soil that won't soak up water. I have some old peat moss like this. I want to buy some Sorbitol 20 to try this. It is a non toxic, plant based, and edible. You can buy food grade stuff cheap. When you mix a little into the soil it will...

    Monsanto Protection Act

    You are right. Seriously though fluoride and HFCS are really bad stuff. These two things will most likely kill more people than GMO food. I have been around grain silos, and you must gas them to kill the critters inside eating the grain. Now the EPA in California does not want grain silos here...

    Monsanto Protection Act

    If we can make something needed, safe, and have long term study, then yes. But just rushing it to market to be greedy, have your buddy the president sign a bill into law is just plain corruption. For the FDA to recognize something as ok these days is all in who you know. I'm just messing with...
