Referring initially to the drawings,
The organic sugar cane alcohol 204 is used to decrease the surface tension of the compound 200 when applied to a plant and allow the compound 200 to be more easily absorbed by the plant. The gluconic acid 212 balances the mixture between the cation-anion balance on the electrolyte solution of the compound 200. The sea salt 214 serves as a wide spectrum mineral product for plant food. The sea salt 214 is pre-dissolved to ensure it is completely dissolved within the compound 200. The fulvic acid 216 is used to increase the mineral and water uptake to the plant from soil. The acid 216 also aids the compound 200 when foliar feeding plants over the top. The lecithin 218 serves as a surfactant and is used to mix the oil-based ingredients. The omega 6 fatty acids of the soy oil 224 is used as a plant food source. The canola oil 226 is used as a source of brassica steroids. The alfalfa 228 provides B-vitamins for plant growth, structure, and health. Finally, molasses 230 is used to increase plant/soil health and synergy.
The ingredients of the compound 200 are preferably (but not limited to) in the following proportions: 60 gallons of organic sugar cane alcohol 204, 120 gallons of oleic acid 206, 55 gallons of organic sunflower lecithin surfactant 208, 231 gallons of water 210, 60 gallons of gluconic acid 212, 50 pounds of pre-dissolved sea salt 214, 3 pounds of fulvic acid 216, 10 pounds of pre-dissolved lecithin 218, 10 gallons of soy oil 224, 27.5 gallons of canola oil 226, 3 pounds of pre-dissolved alfalfa 228 and 15 gallons of molasses 230. This combination of ingredients yields 650 gallons of the compound 200. However, the compound 200 and ingredients may be in different proportions/combinations/amounts to yield different amounts and/or concentrations of the compound 200.
Then, after three hours of constant stirring, 55 gallons of water is added to the mix with constant stirring for one hours [Step 402]. After the one hour, 55 gallons of gluconic acid is added and mixed for one hour [Step 403]. After the one hour, a premix comprised of 55 pounds of sea salt is mixed with 37 gallons of water and 25 pounds of fulvic acid for one hour [Step 404].
Next, after the one hour, 27.5 gallons of organic canola oil is mixed with 10 gallons of organic soy oil for two hours before adding the next ingredient [Step 406]. After the two hours, premixed organic alfalfa powder is added along with 20 gallons of water [Step 408] and mixed continuously.
Then, 15 gallons of organic molasses and 160.5 gallons of water are added to the mix and the same is mixed for at least 8 hours [Step 410]. Finally, the resulting mixture is cooled to ambient temperature and pumped into 250 gallon totes for storage and sale [Step 412].
