New/Existing Garden Starter Kit

• One bag of Superchar, which is one cubic foot, is the minimum amount for a 100-square-foot blend. SuperChar is a natural amendment made from biochar, a charcoal material with a microscopic honeycomb structure. This honeycomb structure provides a luxury condo for beneficial microbiology while also storing moisture in fundamental nutrients.

2.  Bag of 2.5 Complex Rock Dust. The Complex Rock Dust blend is an essential component of our soil. Minerals are the lifeblood of all cellular structures, animals, vegetables, and insects. They are also extremely important for the microbiology and root system in the soil. They feed off of the minerals in the soil to create a healthy, balanced ecosystem.
3. 4-oz Mycorrhizae Granular.  This organic formula dramatically enhances your root’s surface area and overall plant health. It’s perfect for preventing transplant shock and increasing nutrient uptake. Plus, it’s 100% organic certified and will save you money per plant. Give your plants the boost they need with Mycorrhizae Granular.
4. 1/2 cubic foot Compost.
5. 1- qt Yucca Wet
6. 1- qt Wood Vinegar
7. Soil Sterilization:  Dilute with water (preferably using our Blue Sky Garden Hose Filter) at a ratio of 1 100 and add to a spray bottle. Spray into the loose soil, ensuring even 2 to 4 inches penetration. Wait for 1 to 2 weeks before planting or sowing. Reducing Insect and Fungal Infestations:  Dilute with filtered water at 1:300 ( on infested plants ) or 1:500 ( for prevention ) and spray on the plant’s top and bottom.Seedlings:  Dilute with filtered water at a ratio of 1:500Growing and mature Plants:  Dilute with filtered water at a ratio of 1:500 to 1:700 for both Foliar applications and or root irrigation at 15-day intervals
   

   We also use Wood Vinegar for germinating seeds.

   Mix a quarter ounce of bamboo vinegar with a quart of water. Put mixture into a bowl. Use a little stainless-steel strainer from the kitchen, put these seeds in there, and lower them into the mix for about 20 to 30 minutes. After that, we pull the seeds out and then go ahead and plant them or germinate them. The advantage of this is that it gives a higher percentage of those seeds that will germinate.

   Even old seeds will be brought back. When they start to germinate and start to grow, they will come up faster earlier, and much healthier than without using this bamboo vinegar. It’s something that occurs naturally in nature.

BLUE SKY BIOCHAR 

               Formulas for Soil Drenching, raw Biochar Inoculation, Foliar Spraying.       

For Soil Drenching and raw Biochar inoculation, add the following Blue Sky Products to each gallon of water or Compost Tea.

                    1/4-1/2 oz Wood Vinegar liquid  (for Biochar inoculation, use 1 oz.) 

                    1 oz EM-1 liquid

                    2-4 oz Molasses

                    1 oz Fish/Kelp formula liquid

                    1/2-1 oz Yucca Wet liquid

                    1 oz Humic Acid liquid

                    1 oz Ocean Magic Minerals

                    1 tablespoon Big Foot Mycorrhizae Concentrate powder

Apply this liquid blend around each plant just after planting and as a periodic maintenance 

every few months or as often as needed. We also recommended adding Rock Dust periodically to your soil.

When using this blend for raw Biochar inoculation, make sure to wet the raw Biochar first with some water, thoroughly mixing it while you wet it down, but not too much, and then distribute the blend in to the wet Biochar using a shovel to continually mix as you pour in the blend at a slow pace so it get mixed in completely and uniformly. Let it sit for a few days or so, and it is ready to use, fully stocked and ready to grow.

For Foliar Spraying, add the following Blue Sky products to each gallon of water, preferably non-chlorinated water. Or you can use a Brewed Compost Tea in place of the water for a greater effect.

                      1/2 oz Wood Vinegar liquid

                      1 oz EM-1 liquid

                      1 oz Hyperdrive or Yucca Wet liquid surfactant

                      1 oz Humic Acid liquid

                      1/2- 1 oz Fish/Kelp liquid 

As an option, you can add other nutrients and biology to the mix following the directions on the label.

Spray the plants in the late afternoon with a fine mist on every part of each plant.

Foliar spraying should be done regularly throughout the growing cycle.

The earlier in the plant’s life cycle you start applying foliar solutions, the better the plant will develop immunity to insects and disease, and increase the nutrient density of the food and plants you harvest. The main goal in using these protocols is to raise the Brix level of what you are growing, because when the Brix goes above 12, plants develop their own immunity to insects and diseases, and nutrient density rises dramatically.

Blue Sky Biochar offers a high-quality Brix testing kit at a reasonable price, with everything you need to test your plants.

When blending inoculated biochar into your new or existing soil, we recommend 4 parts soil (containing 60% base soil blend, 20% premium compost, 20% premium worm castings, 10 lbs.). Blue Sky Complex Rock Dust blend per cubic yard with 1 part inoculated biochar.
