Glen's Organic Starter Fertilizer: Boosting Seed Germination and Soil Health

Ғылым және технология

Glen Rabenberg takes us through his proven approach to starter fertilizers. Filmed at R Organic Farms, Glen emphasizes the importance of feeding not just the plants but also the soil and seeds, using a range of natural ingredients for a starter fertilizer that includes just grams of his GSR Calcium, organic sugar, liquid fish fertilizer, micronized soft rock phosphate, biological organisms, and molasses.
Glen explains how his unique, liquid blend addresses deficiencies in carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and other essential nutrients, promoting strong, uniform seed germination and early plant growth. His method not only enhances plant health but also creates conditions unfavorable for weeds.

    I agree with what this man is saying. Back in a day on my college in Europe, aggro chemistry teacher was telling the exact same thing that he's telling with the addition of organic matter in the form of fermented cow manure, which I assuming his switching with sugars and molasses.

    Is there something I can do with egg shells (calcium carbonate) I don’t know how quickly they decompose when ground into a powder in blender etc. But from the sounds of it it is a good addition based on calcium. Just not sure how to dose or if I want to be doing vinegar egg shell dissolution method making it more bioavailiable.

    @Soil Works LLC do these principles directly apply to container growing in organic soilless mixes? Content on container growing would be greatly appreciated unless that is out of your company's wheelhouse.

    It should, obviously some things differ. But you are still attempting to create a good habitat for the plants, microbes, fungi, and insects that live in and around your containers. The ideas will still be applicable, I only grow in containers and I have been applying his wisdom for a few months now. Good luck and happy gardening

    Thank you glen for the education! One thing I didn’t understand was when you were talking about the test farm where you had previously sprayed cow manure. You said it didn’t matter what you did to that area because the carbon to nitrogen was 3:1 14:00 . Meaning plants did good or poorly?

  • @jae878

    So what I understand from watching many of your videos and others that you are in the carbon to nitrogen ratio of 30:1 is ideal. So putting cow manure on pasture upsets that ratio? Meaning it’s a bad thing to put raw cow manure on pasture? I’m really confused by this Lol.

    Since there is no retail store for purchasing. Is it this for crop farms and orchards, agricultural soils only? As in this is not available to a home owner that’s into lawn care. Not available for simple retail purchasing.

    For lawn care, I highly reccomend you look into doing a combination of grass and legumes such as clover, the clover fixes nitrogen in the soil and provides a food source for the bees.

    I'm a confused very experienced gardener. Have been adding well made compost to soil for decades. It is beautiful dark chocoalte brown with great aggregation. Worm population great, 2.5 million/acre. Penetrometer reading 75 PSI to 24", then I'm on bedrock. Plants grow well. MY CONUNDRUM... My last great carrot crop was 2012, about the time I switched to minimal tillage, but still use a broadfork every year. I simply can't get decent fresh carrot seed to germinate!!! Almost no cucumber germination this year (I usually use transplants, but this year I direct sowed). Corn is germinating, but I gave that a short soak in vermicompost extract. Last year I had ZERO corn germination with 24 hour extract soak (maybe that was too long?) Everything else in garden is transplants. Can you offer any long distance advice please?
