Re: Fulvic/Humic acid

Thanks 152769 for this posting. In:

I was delighted to read the following:

""""The inventors have discovered that fulvic acid and humic acid compositions can be produced in this manner by extracting them from a source other than lignite and hardrock minerals. In accordance with the novel system and method described herein fulvic acid and humic acid are extracted from an organic compost mixture by extracting the liquid component of the organic compost mixture. The liquid component may be extracted by collecting liquid percolating from the organic compost mixture, or by separating the liquid component from the solid components of the organic compost mixture. A liquid such as water that dissolves fulvic acid may be added to the organic compost mixture prior to extraction of the liquid component. The liquid component in the organic compost mixture may be separated from the solid components by means of a separator, such as a centrifuge, belt press, filter press, or membrane press. The novel method and system may include optional additional steps, including filtration and treatment of the organic compost mixture and/or effluent, and may reuse the liquid effluent or solids byproduct to optimize the quantity of fulvic acid and humic acid extracted. The novel system and method is thus able to produce fulvic acid and humic acid without the need or use of acids. The resulting novel product produced by the novel method and system described herein contains fulvic acid in an amount of at least 4% by weight, and humic acid in an amount of up to about 3% by weight. The product more specifically comprises fulvic acid in an amount of approximately 4% to approximately 10%, and more specifically at least approximately 7% by weight, and more specifically approximately 7% to about 10% by weight. Because it is produced from an organic compost mixture, the product also contains micronutrients and macronutrients needed by plants, and contains few heavy minerals. Because of its composition, the novel product can be used to improve the health of plants. In one aspect, the novel product can be used to eradicate pests from plants, including the bark beetle from coniferous trees."""

I have cultured all sorts of brews out of my compost heaps, both for plants and human consumption (inc natto) and recently a culture that looks and behaves just like tempeh. To produce a humic acid extract that may be usable is too strong a challenge to resist. Another "tincture" thinks I.
What should I call it? Tincture, infusion, decoction?? Delighted thanks T2.
