    Just bought an Enfusium 420 for infusions and a Vevor 50l Distiller for the essential oils themselves, seems pretty complex. Someone commented that heat can degradation quality, thank you for the tip. Anyone else use these two pieces if equipment? I haven't done it yet cause I'm trying to learn first. I have leukemia and am hoping my Italian oregano and rosemary can help with symptoms.

    For those beginners who want to grow *blueberries* in buckets: 01. Bucket 55l (15 gallon) 02. Soil from a pine forest 03. Mix the soil with pine twigs and pine bark 04. Pine bark mulch Purchased soil is dead soil. No doubt. Purchased fertilizer is not as good as slowly decaying pine twigs with pine bark. They gradually give the blueberries nutrients. If you really want to take care of the blueberry, it is a good idea to let pieces of pine bark stand in water for several weeks. As soon as the water "rusts", it also has a low ph, then water them. If you have blueberries in black buckets, they will heat up a lot in the sun and the roots will suffer. Either use white buckets or simply paint the black ones white or wrap them in paper or aluminum foil. One last piece of advice: the more varieties of blueberries, the more fruit you will have. *Failure is not possible with this procedure*

    Essential oils are done through distillation. The proper term for this process is the “fast method” for an infusion. Typically one infuses oil from 4-6 weeks. You also need to explain the sanitation of your jar and lid. You cannot exchange the term essential oil with infused oil. They totally different processes.

  • @carolyndelvalle9387
    @carolyndelvalle9387 Рік тому

    I made a bunch of oils letting them sit in a sunny window. Is there any reason why we shouldn't leave the herbs in our oil? Meaning never straining because that's what I have done. I also keep them in the refrigerator to protect potency and oil with plants of any kind will eventually mold and lose potency. I have learned this from making FECO Full Extract Cannabis Oil. Keeping it in an amber glass bottle can really help to protect the potency and shelf life. I actually use grain alcohol to strip my Cannabis and then take it outside and cook of the alcohol in a double boiler. It has to be decarboxilated at 240' for 40 minutes outside of jars or 60 minutes inside mason jars on the oven rack. Then cool jars then add grain alcohol just covering the plant materials. Put outside in double boiler and cook off alcohol on low to desired consistency.
