Compost, manure, leaves in the Fall. Then a little more compost at Spring tilling. I also have to kill off grubs here. OK, so what is turbo juice? I've heard of the diet but I'm sure that's not it...

Turbo Juice, is a highly technical variation of what we awl know as compost tea!!! Thru long trials, and microscopic investigations!!! (It's true, I swear!!!). The VanSandBaggus brothers, w/help from the Godfather of the KPM!!! ... have over the past few years developed better, and better blends of this brew!!! The actual ingredients are held secret....more security than Colonel Sanders!!!! The closest I have been...to knowing...was a baggie full of secret ingredients...w/instructions to add to my tea brewing process!!!! I will swear to it...the ingredients did not smell like road kill!!!! LOL Peace, Wayne

Lithovit. We used it on all our garden this year & had great results again. Our potatoes averaged @ 20L per pail. Just amazing! Our watermelon was only 222.4#, but still a PB for us & of course our 7.33# giant mater. Our eating tomatoes were awesome. We had so many that we couldn't give them all away. All off of only 5 plants. We used it our 1678# from 2009 as well.
Now available for the Canadian growers & farmers.

Give it a try in 2011. I'm sure you would be happy.

Turbo Juice has no compost tea! Wayne this has been in the works for 3 years allmost perfected. Better that Super Duper Spook Juice. Recipe is locked up behind 2 locked doors.
