Purchasing Humic & Fulvic Acid etc.

[Percy Veer]

Having read Nicole Master's book 'For the Love of Soil', (It's well worth reading) I've tried source some of the products she recommends, such as Humic and Fulvic acid, Vermiliquid, Molasses etc.. but when I put any of these, or similar products, in a search engine they are very expensive and just appear to be for individual plants and/or suburban gardens.

Does anyone know where I can source these products in agricultural quantities in the UK?

Thanks

Compost teas

Did a quick search and havnt found much here on FF has anyone used any, and seen good results? i have been reading/listening up on the work of Elaine Ingham and thinking it could be a great addition to getting rid of our nettles/thistle issues without subsoil ploughing/keyline plough

Don't quite know if it is the same, but I'd guess it's along similar lines. Having listened to Charlie Arnott on the Working Cows podcast talk about Teas and how, what seems, such small quantities applied can make such a difference to the soil biome. Something we'll be looking at here this year.

Its mainly nonsense. Save your money but build soil using carbon. Your own soil contains plenty of fulvic and humic acids

Molasses from; J E Morton, Tunstead Newton, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire 01663 734621. You can collect in 1,000ltr IBC's or will deliver bulk. Straight cane molasses is a reasonable price, plus John Morton is a top bloke, been doing the job a long time, and they are nice people to deal with. Trailed cane molasses and seaweed extract here for the first time last year on 10 acres of pea/barley mix, yielded just shy of 3t/acre @ a cost of production £30/t, happy with this on our sandy loam over sandstone bedrock and 950' above sea level!

QLF (Quality Liquid Feed) also do a molasses based product, but seemed a bit pricey to me.
