For those of you making your own fertilizer cakes what micronutrient product do you use?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I believe that's what Brian Van Fleet uses as well.I use Maxicrop Liquid seaweed with iron
Plant Tone guaranteed analysis only makes claims to macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S), and not micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn, + 6-7 more). I have had several unsatisfactory attempts to get Espoma to answer that question.If you use a balanced organic, you don't need a micronutrient supplement. Something like plant-tone or Holly-tone.
Correct. Any organic fert based on seed meal, blood, chicken manure etc have a full range of trace elements. Some fish can be a bit low in Mn and Mo but generally there is no problem including them in cakes. Seed /bean meals are generally the most balanced as plants concentrate nutrients in their seeds. What is more important in making metals available is the correct pH.If you use a balanced organic, you don't need a micronutrient supplement. Something like plant-tone or Holly-tone.

Yes I got my recipe for cakes from BVF, though it seems he may have changed his(?). Hopefully he answers my question above.
Did you change your formula?
No, Eco-Vie has always been my preference, but either should be fine.Did you change your formula?
Howdy Brian, are you still using Eco-Vie? If so where are you purchasing it from? Because I can not track down a seller.

Thanks for the link, I’ll get in touch with them as I don’t see anywhere to purchase it from their site.
I do, but haven’t had to buy it for a year or so.Howdy Brian, are you still using Eco-Vie? If so where are you purchasing it from? Because I can not track down a seller.
Same here. I can ...find... it on Google but not with a source.Thanks for the link, I’ll get in touch with them as I don’t see anywhere to purchase it from their site.
Thanks again,
I know there are people who swear by Super Thrive and others whom refer to it as a snake oil? I personally don’t use it and believe it is quite different than a micronutrient supplement.Same here. I can ...find... it on Google but not with a source.
It bumps me to Super Thrive.
Is that any good?
