EZ Green Thumb

In case anyone is interested in reading how I came to create this IC complex with insane amount of ICs, read on.

This complex was originally designed to replace my personal need to keep buying expensive manure, compost, and fertilizers. Most commercial fertilizers focus mainly on N-P-K and nothing on improving soil health as well as plant  trace minerals and micro-nutrients. There are single component of organic fertilizers and soil amendments in the market but they all add up costs making it not feasible for me in the long run. This led me into thinking what if I could rely on old fashion farming method -using natural plants or foods (ie egg shell, coffee grounds, Epsom salt, etc) to support soil health and improve plant vitality? That would be ingenious. Organic worm casting and soil composting methods are great but there is a learning curve, then there is the physical work  and maintenance  involvement make it all unappealing to garden novice like myself. During my research, I learn that like humans and animals, plants also need a healthy external and internal environment.  To start off, the soil needs to be viable. Modern day soil is heavily depleted of vital nutrients (ie copper, iron, iodine, magnesium, etc) due to heavy industrial farming methods, environmental chemical contamination, routine fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides applications -all resulting in our foods not carrying the same nutritional value as say back in the 1930s. Consequently, a light bulb came to my mind. I thought to myself, "What if I were to design an IC complex that would address these vital deficiencies in the soil? Would that in the process be like creating my special infoceutical soil amendment formula?" So that was the direction I started off. 

In the making of my dream formula, I had another crazy idea, "Would it not be awesome if I were to add all of my favorite daily supplements so eating my harvested veggies would  be like taking my favorite multivitamins? Wow! I could cut down on my oral supplements!" 

Hence, I began searching online to ensure the supplements I want to include would not become detrimental to plant health. To my surprise, agricultural scientists have long ago identified several specific vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids that are essential to plant health. This led me to a rabbit hole to find out which elements will stimulate plant growth and vitality from a molecular and cellular level. Most of these studies are not mainstream although I've heard some stories in the past. Example in Cuba, the use of seaweed as fertilizer. In SouthAsia, the use the leftover soybeans from soy milk extraction as fertilizer. Usually these are traditional farming methods that are passed down from forefathers without specific explanation as to why they work. Thankfully with internet, I was able to find scientific answers for them. This further confirms that I was heading in the right direction with my ideas.

After several tweaking,  much experimenting  and observation of my own indoor veggies and houseplants, I soon realize that although soil nutrients are crucial, I was missing an important consideration namely -soil microbiome. This aspect is needed so the plant and soil could carry out their own self-detoxification from environmental pollutants. Once these elements were addressed, I notice the soil was able to discourage pest, weeds and pathogen growth and the plant was able to thrive exponentially. For instant, every winter I attempted to overwinter my green peppers and chill peppers by bringing them the house but they sadly never last for more than a month. Why? Because once indoor, they die from aphids and gnat infestation despite good ventilation, humidity and artificial growth light. However, last winter all of them miraculously survived! None of them (6 in total) died because the soil never developed gnats and aphids. To my surprised, they kept flowering and fruiting. I could harvest 1 pepper per plant every month. If these were left outdoor in the summer, they would have yield more peppers. Needless to say, my family was speechless and impressed.

 I found multiple ways of using this complex. Applied to outdoor flower beds, expect early bulb formation and upright vibrant colored blooms. In veggies, expect yields even in conditions you least expect as described above. Fresh cut flowers survive more days and wilt at remarkably slower rate. Lucky bamboo plants that live off in water vase never require monthly water change as water never turns mirky or algae. Damaged or diseased plants may get a second life depending on its severity. If very sick to begin with, it will struggling to survive for extra months. In aerobic hydroponic system, water remains clear for months without any signs of algae growth. Soak washed salad greens with it for at least 20min, spin dry, store in fridge and salad greens will stay crisp for up to 3 days. Dilute commercial fertilizer concentration with it in a hose-syphon container, mix well, set it aside for at least 20 min before usage. This will enhance fertilizer effects. While using the hose-syphon application, it emits subtle harmonizing energy affecting both plants and humans. Not sure if it could shield against 5G cellular network but judging by its degree of vitality, there maybe some shielding effect -you tell me. If anyone know of other ways of using it, don't forget to share.

My experimentation with my IC began since November 2022 to Apri 2023. I was going to keep it to myself and my family but this complex never ceases to impress me.  So I thought perhaps members of InfoPathy might be interested in giving it a try. It is named, EZ Green Thumb, because it was intentional made for novice gardener like myself to have "easy" success in growing like with a "green thumb". In any event, enjoy and don't forget to share your experiences. Love and light.
