Are your microbes dead? Free new service from Eutrema · Hydroponics Daily

  Hello there and welcome back to Hydroponics Daily, the podcast that is not daily
• 0:04
  but is about hydroponics.
• 0:05
  I'm your host Dr. Russell Sharp, the founder of Utrema Limited.
• 0:09
  We make fertilizers, biostimulants and biopesticides.
• 0:12
  However, we do not sell microbial products, products that contain bacteria and fungi etc etc.
• 0:21
  However, we have sold them in the past but I don't sell them now and that's
• 0:25
  for a number of reasons I will talk about.
• 0:27
  I'll also explain a fabulous new service I'm offering to all growers.
• 0:32
  The reason I don't sell them is firstly they are always dying so you have them
• 0:36
  on your shelf they're always dying which means that when they have passed their
• 0:39
  shelf life you either have to sell somebody dead product which is disingenuous
• 0:44
  or you have to dispose of them which costs a lot of money.
• 0:48
  So that's the first reason. Second reason is I don't have a big fermenter
• 0:52
  or bioreactor to grow bugs in and so
• 0:55
  i always say don't buy from anyone who doesn't have a big fermenter because otherwise you're
• 0:58
  just buying from further down the supply chain sometimes you will go to a manufacturer
• 1:02
  and they won't have any of these facilities they'll just have racking they're
• 1:06
  just a storage warehouse which means that they are just either just selling
• 1:10
  it on or cutting it it's a bit like hard drugs every step down the chain it
• 1:15
  gets a bit weaker and a bit more dilute.
• 1:18
  So unless you see a fermenter, you're not buying from the direct manufacturers.
• 1:21
  Some people say they've got these facilities when actually they're just buying from somebody else.
• 1:26
  And the third reason I don't sell microbials is because you're always competing
• 1:30
  against people selling dirty water.
• 1:32
  You can have the best product in the world, but you're always competing against
• 1:35
  people selling dirty water, which muddies the water.
• 1:37
  Now, I said in the past that fertilizers are going to get registered.
• 1:42
  You're going to have to register them.
• 1:43
  The government and the academics think that this is going to improve the sector,
• 1:47
  improve the reputation and the quality of the products. Is it heck?
• 1:52
  It's not going to do anything of the sort.
• 1:53
  All it's going to do is is cut out the small people and
• 1:56
  put a big moat around the big players what will improve
• 2:00
  the sector in the fertilizer and input sector the
• 2:03
  nutrient sector is calling out the bad players
• 2:06
  and calling up the good players and that's
• 2:09
  what i'm going to do so if you have a
• 2:12
  microbial product that you're using and you were interested does it actually
• 2:15
  contain bugs in that jug send them into utreema and we will analyze it to test
• 2:21
  whether there are living things in there are Are they the microbes that you've
• 2:25
  purchased and are they alive? Are they moving? Are they doing their things?
• 2:30
  Or are they microbes that are not what they say they are? They're something else completely.
• 2:34
  This could be true. You know, they could be selling you streptococcus when it's
• 2:39
  a bacillus, for example, or they could be selling you mycorrhizae when it's
• 2:42
  actually trichoderma or a bacteria or yeast.
• 2:46
  And we can call that out if it's bad. Or we can say this is exactly what it says it is.
• 2:51
  This is trustworthy. they go with these guys these are
• 2:54
  the best players in the industry now we're offering this to you tremer customers
• 2:58
  but we're also offering it to anyone in the sector so you don't have to be a
• 3:04
  you tremer customer you don't have to be buying liquid gold or kaita sand or
• 3:08
