OK, I was wrong, I admit it. Please delete my previous 3 star rating.
I decided to give this a try after all, and though this rot juice does reek of putrefaction my plants responded very favorably overnight. They were praying so hard the next morning that the fan leaves were practically vertical - much more pronounced than I have ever seen with any enzyme tea. The smell is definitely not what I'd expect from fermented fruit, and I have fermented a *lot* of fruits and veggies over the years. I admit to being a little concerned about/confused by that fact, but still, it's hard to argue with the results.
I will say this - of three ferments I ordered, each leaked about a cup in transit. I'm going to have to attribute this to lousy caps since BAS taped the caps shut and they still all leaked. Thankfully they were in their own individual bags, but the watermelon still managed to leak all over my carpet. I'll probably order more of these ferments but have to warn family members to leave the boxes on the porch until they are inspected.
