ABSTRACT:
A soil supplement for addition to potted plants consisting of microorganisms, enzymes, and various substances rich in protein and carbohydrates including bone meal, torula yeast, potassium citrate, soybean flour and durum wheat flour. The potassium citrate acts as a chelating or sequestering agent. The substance is used in connection with the water used to moisten the soil of the potted plant. The effect of adding the supplement to the soil is that the microorganism count greatly increases due to the microorganisms and enzymes acting on the various substances rich in protein and carbohydrates. The sequestering agent tends to maintain the solution in suspension through the earth. As water and/or the supplement are added to the soil from time to time, any salts accumulated on the surface of the soil or on the edge of the pot are gradually sequestered into the soil and are ionized by the action of the enzymes and microorganisms to produce minerals useful for the plant. The microorganisms break down any dead root structure, giving the live roots more room. After continued use, the soil around the plant becomes light and porous.
A preferable composition is from 1 to 2 percent of microorganisms, 2 to 10 percent of enzymes, 5 to 20 percent of bone meal, 15 to 30 percent of torula yeast, 8 to 15 percent of potassium citrate, 5 to 15 percent soybean flour, and 30 to 60 percent of durum wheat.
