Throughout the Year
Spray Phil's Foliar recipe again every one to four weeks.
Optional: You can go back and forth each application between sea minerals and fish hy-
drolysate as the main micronutrient component of the spray, as they don't like to be to-
gether in the spray. I mostly stick with sea minerals. You can also occasionally substitute
other microbial products for the EM and work with various other biostimulants.
Optional: To switch from growth to fruiting just before or early on in the initial repro-
ductive stages of the plants, you can apply a spray to help fruit and seed set. Spray 4 table-
spoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of ammonia in 2 quarts of water per
1,000 square feet. If you have it, you could instead spray 3 tablespoons liquid calcium
mixed with 2-4 teaspoons boron, along with 1 cup liquid fish hydrolysate, 4 teaspoons
kelp and 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
Other Optional Steps
Purchase a refractometer to measure the brix of the fruits and vegetables you're grow-
ing and check your progress over the next few years. Start making compost tea for spray-
ing on your plants and soil, with either a purchased, tested brewer or a homemade brewer.
Experiment with biodynamic preparations and other energizers, as well as radionics.
