Perhaps you can answer a question I have about the egg shell concoction. It has stopped bubbling and I got the impression from the video that if it is done correctly it will bubble for ten days. Should it still be bubbling or have I misunderstood?

Try adding more eggshell and see if it restarts. If it does, the vinegar isn't saturated and has room for more calcium.

I'll do that. Do you have any idea why the egg shell has to be cooked? Perhaps I didn't cook it long enough that the bubbles stopped.

Do you think I could I add powdered cuttlefish to vinegar to make water soluble calcium?

It's to burn off the organic material so it doesn't rot over time in storage. Some say it also converts some of the compounds when heated but I've never seen anything to back that up.

The bones? Yes, certainly. You can use all manner of things calcium including sea corral, cow bones, oyster shells, etc.

The only time I made it was years back using Emilya's instructions, and she recommends grinding the eggshells. Either way, she said: "After about half a day, the fizzing should mostly stop. Seal the jar up and let this ferment for 20 days."

This makes sense. Mine stopped fizzing after about half a day, and fizzed up some more when I added cuttle fish bone. I'll seal it up now.
 
When I made it with oyster shell I stirred the bottom when it stopped bubbling and would bubble again for a while after. I don't know if that was any different than letting it sit but I suspect so.

Thank you. Why did you stop making it, Otter? What do you use when you add calcium to your SIPs?
 
Highya Carmen,

I use Jadam Microbe Solution that I make myself. Quite easy. Anyways, it gave my plants (of all kinds) more production than anything else I've done. I was quite impressed. I only said that in case you want to make microbe solution. Happy Smokin'

HI Bode,
Thank you. I need to use potions that are shelf stable. I don't have the space or setup for bubbling fresh teas. If there is a way to make a shelf stable version of the microbe solution then I'd definitely like to try it. Are you able to advise? Also, when and how do you apply it?
 
I want to try this shot again using focus stacking. It's out of focus in the wrong places. It was taken with fill in flash and with full flash hence the difference in exposure.

This is focus stacked and a better shot, but still not perfect.

I was trying to find a solution(literally) :Rasta: to my calcium uptake issue in SIP pots. It was a tool to have in the box to maybe spray or drench on occasion. I still have it in the jar, never deployed.
I decided on 4ml calmag a day for my ten gallon SIP's in the rez to balance.
They look lovely today!
