Been making and using LAB in my gardens since I was a kid. My grandma used to make mozzarella and ricotta cheese fresh and she would always have me dump they whey water from the cheese on her garden and she would use corn, rice and barley combo and soak the grains in water to sprout and also would make the Lab with it. I remember being so impressed that dairy would make the garden produce and be so healthy. I don’t make cheese like my Nona did but I do feed the curds from the labs to my dogs and chickens and my dogs absolutely love it. Ever season my friends and family come by for a BBQ and they look at my garden beds and plants and ask “ Joe what do you feed your garden “? I’ll say miracle grow and smile

A couple of comments: 1) first, thank you for putting out this video. LAB is a critical element in a healthy lawn or garden. 2) I may be mistaken, but it was always my impression that the rice wash water provided nutrients for the bacteria, which are in the milk. That’s why it’s called lactic acid, bacteria, because it comes from milk. Again, I may be mistaken. 3) the cheese can/should be eaten by human beings with no real issues. I made some LAB a few weeks ago, and I saved the cheese. I treat it like mozzarella, which means that I dip it in olive oil, and put some sea salt and balsamic vinegar on it. It is delicious, and loaded with LAB that is good for our digestive system.

Good points! As far as point #2. It's a common misconception that they're called that because they're found in lactose. Lactic acid bacteria refers to strains of bacteria that produce lactic acid as a byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism. It's what gives fermented foods that tang. Starch in rice water feeds a broad spectrum of lactic acid bacteria strains, then we use milk to weed out the weakest strains. As for point #3 - since this video is available to the general public I have to abide by certain rules of what I can say. According to the CDC raw milk is unsafe for human consumption. Suggesting that one should consume it will get me categorized as "encouraging hazardous activity". That's the world we live in.

My upstairs neighbor had a sewage pipe issue which flooded our shared garage..it stank to high heaven. I got my L.A.B.S. out of the fridge and sprayed the whole garage floor and overnight the smell went away! Potent stuff i call it my biological weapon against any and all foul smelling issues. It works everywhere.

Is this similar to Trichoderma? (Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus that is also used as a fungicide. It is used for foliar application, seed treatment and soil treatment for suppression of fungal pathogens causing various fungal plant diseases.)

Can you use sugar instead of lactose?

Using more LAB this year than I did last year. Already went through a gallon of serum up here in WI. Plan on doing a couple farmers markets this year, what would you think a fare price for a quart of LAB stabilized with brown sugar? Stay Well!!!
@foreverfoodforest2 ай бұрын
Hmm... great question! I think a good starting point is your cost x 4 (This is standard retail mark up). So if it costs you $4 to make a quart, then $16 is a fair price. Don't forget to add the cost of the container and offer a discount if your costumers reuse or bring their own.

Can one just throw raw rice into the compost bin?
@foreverfoodforest11 ай бұрын
Yes, but you will get a bunch of different bacteria and fungus growing on it and LAB may not be able to compete. This process isolates the lactic acid bacteria to where it becomes the dominant culture and out competes pathogenic bacteria and mold.
