Anyone hear of Bio Natural garden liquid stuff?

Anyone ever heard of a produce named Bio Natural? Someone gave us a whole box full of bottles of liquids. Some say "blooming blossons" and it has what they say is: azotobacter vinelandil and azotobacter chroococcum in it? Anyone know what it is?

The other bottle says "binatural nutrifoliar" and "leaf inoculant" and says it has foliar nitrogen fixers in it?

Anyone heard of this? Anyone use it? If so, is it good for the garden or just junk? Thanks.

Sure doesn't sound 'natural' with all those chemicals in it?

Get a lot better bang for the buck with a nice common N,P,&K out of a bag, with manure tossed into the soil every few years. And would seem less 'chemically' to me than the 'natural' stuff there.

I never heard of this stuff but the people who gave it to us said it was "organic" and "natural" but.....I am not so sure. It says on the bottles it is made in Florida.

What chemicals? Those are bacteria. It is organic.

Geo- smack your own face LOL. Look up the words on the net and find out what they are, I am sure the product is available online as well.

Azotobacter is an aerobic soil-dwelling organism with a wide variety of metabolic capabilities which include the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen by converting it to ammonia

Azotobacter is a genus of usually motile, oval or spherical bacteria that form thick-walled cysts and may produce large quantities of capsular slime. They are aerobic, free-living soil microbes which play an important role in the nitrogen cycle in nature, binding atmospheric nitrogen, which is inaccessible to plants, and releasing it in the form of ammonium ions into the soil.

I "Googled" the name of the company and am not finding anything, although Google for some reason is giving me fits today. The 2 Azotobacter's are naturally occuring bacteria but I think some of the other terms are made up terms to promote their product. I have heard of soil inoculant but never leaf inoculant. It does sound like a natural product but I would try it in a limited area first just to make sure it did no harm.

We have barely been able to use the internet today. Google keeps shutting off and our emails are not loading. I thought it was just us.

We will read up some more about it before using. I was wondering if anyone here had already tested it. Thanks everyone.
