Turned into soil.

When taking in 150 cy of green wastes daily, and want to make compost, this is the tool they use. I wouldn’t make compost piles this big, but people do. It’s my belief that harnessing beneficial Anaerobes we can make these machines more useful, to produce a product that is both inexpensive and powerful.

@@kofrass5730 just because they use it doesnt mean its the right one for the job .....this would be a fallacy .... there are many ways of looking at this ...they use profit as the main benchmark of efficiency ....instead of the quality of the compost .... they use the argument of volume because they have yet to discover themselves a narrow path to high quality in large volumes ....... they dont know what they are really doing and have a very limited understanding of the actual biology or the chemistry at play ...never mind how to appropriate things to be more conducive to creating high quality compost with a very high faradaic efficiency ...... these systems are seen as waste stream recovery systems instead of compost production systems and they are treated as such

@@jeremyschissler337 most of the time that is true, but this man is a private business owner who has immense passion for making good compost. After 3 years of shooting the shit with this man he has finally gotten serious about his compost. I even showed him the differences in an active alive compost verses his dead compost utilizing a microscope as a visual. He is for sure weighing the profits and capitalization of having access to the raw materials being collected at a his facility with tipping fees. Because people are paying to drop off the material he can reduce the cost of offering this compost back to his customers base. Once again your statement holds true 90% of the time but there is always the 10% of people who are trying to do the right thing. I was in the right place at the right time, meeting the right beings who believe in a better outcome. He purchased that turner when I first met him, thinking that was the right thing to do. For some background on his conversion, I have accepted his raw materials that he places into windrows into our compost yard and applied my treatments to show him a different method. My piles are at maximum 4-5 feet high with a width of 3-4 feet and I have been showing this man how less is more, that temperature control is only possible in smaller piles. It’s been a huge uphill climb but we have reached the summit together so we can begin our descent. This man is now turning the compost more frequently, and controlling temperature’s and apply lactobacillus serums, but he for sure needs more adjustment to his practices, that are hard to implement based on his current methodology. I’ve been advocating for him to have smaller piles but he has yet to understand… I was there the other day and his piles are still 160 and partially overwatered due to his drip Irrigation hydration. There are a lot of variables attached to this compost yard of this man’s creation, but he is listening, although slowly, to what I’m trying to convey. I’m seeing an improvement and patience is my master. The reality is he is not going to sell that turner, nor is he going to change the pile size so I’m figuring out how to assist these large scale yards to make a decent product. I believe it’s possible and will exhaust all means to come to the best conclusion. If I cannot do it then he needs to sell that turner and get a smaller unit that makes the proper windrow, that actually has a sprayer attachment and get some covers. I just need an understanding that places like this exist because orchardist pay to have people remove trimmings and or orchard removal. In butte county there is an endless supply of orchard wood and large scale 1,000+ acre farms are always removing sections of their trees, this is why this facility exists, because people think removing biomass that is generated from their sites is a good thing, and it’s seen more as waste than a treasure. I don’t agree with that, but I live in this reality and need to start somewhere to get the proper methods applied. This material has to go somewhere, and if I have control over the waste streams, and it’s proper utilization we can give back to the orchardist their own material at a profit to expand our abilities to advocate to alternative treatments for their residual biomass.

@@saltybildo9448 haha the beer urine is next level. 💯

By observing nature, is how I’ve been able to accrue this process. Bio mimicry and applied research is the 🔑

Thank you!

Its clay from the sierra Nevada foothills!

After more research I found out its a regulation set forward by the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (OFPA) required that the USDA develop national standards for organic products, and the final rule establishing the National Organics Program was first published in the Federal Register in 2000 and is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations at 7 CFR 205 The path forward is quite obvious to me. I need to set my own standards and hold people to them. So this has nothing to do with California and everything to do with the USDA, which has no business telling farmers whats acceptable, or strong arming industry with backwards mentality. The only program that works well is the NRCS, which is a direct farm bill funded institution that offers reimbursement for alternative land stewarding options. The current agriculture czar is Thomas Vilsack, and I didn't see in his resume ever working on a farm, although I never asked the guy personally.

@@kofrass5730 I lived near there, so I know that Vilsack is from Iowa, was in local politics, then governor, ag secretary under Obama, then again with Biden. There's no lack of knowledge there, he's just wrong, same as most farmers, homesteaders and gardeners are with their strange beliefs about this and that. If you join them by trying to hold other people to your standard, that would just make you a hypocrite. Just keep sharing what you think is a better alternative.

While its important to share valuable information, doing so without proper agreements can lead to others capitalizing on these ideas without contributing back to the community. I am open to sharing my knowledge if we can work together towards a common goal that benefits society. Currently, I am working with USDA scientists who are concerned about the misuse and exploitation of their research and intellectual property. Many of these scientists wish their work was more appropriately used for public benefit, but much of the research funding comes from public sources and institutions closely tied to large agrochemical biotech companies. This makes it challenging to protect and appropriately distribute the research. Freelance agronomists and biologists often face instability because many farmers are hesitant to adopt biological methods over synthetic ones, which is understandable given the current lack of trust in biological approaches. Explaining these concepts in detail to those unfamiliar with them can be time-consuming and challenging. We are working on establishing a research farm with proper funding to refine these formulas. I am willing to make all my information public if I can secure the necessary funding to do so. Stability is crucial for me to function effectively and contribute positively to the world, rather than struggling as an unsupported innovator.

@@kofrass5730 Ah, so you are indeed a hypocrite. Others should share what they know, but you'll only share if people only use it the way you think they should.

If that’s the truth then why don’t we have Coca-Cola secret recipe, or the secrets of how to enrich uranium to make an atomic bomb? Real world expectations and guarding knowledge is a motif that spans thousands of years. I didn’t say I don’t give my information away, just hesitant to give it away online to someone. Why do you think patients exist?

Ring of Fire units burn 20 cy at a time. You are correct. It takes a good amount of material to make quality char, but we see smaller burns being effective such a standard burn piles with the intention of making charcoal. Any bit adds up! In my experiences I've noticed land owners think to small and don't believe we can burn all the wood the have on their land. Granted we are working with property owners who have anywhere from 1-1,000 or more acres...

chickens wont eat the mites, way to small. They would eat the worms first!

My failure to explain in detail is evident. This is a sifted bin of all my beetle bins. Im mindful to keep pupas and beetles separated. Our operation had a grain mite issue, mostly due to a lack to proper mitigation efforts, which we are now committing to. However, we had to process 70 bins in total with half of them being beetles. Our last round of hatched pupas were nearly complete by the time this video was generated. Our hopes are to breed a clean batch of eggs and in 3 months be more free. Wish us luck! Thank you for the comment.

It’s debatable, but for sure we obtained some Chitin oligosaccharides

​@@kofrass5730maybe supplement this stew with trichoderma harzanium or viride?

We did just that! I had my KNF homie brew a batch and we observed some very interesting results. The brew ended up turning red which we believed was a purple non-sulfur bacteria. In the end we chucked it into our compost windrows once the experiment was completed, and the compost looks and smells amazing.

​@@kofrass5730Nice.. you could have used it as a spray for your plants.. trichodermas produce a lot of chitonase enzyme plus other good stuff.. insects don't like chitonase.. just make sure your brew is aerobic..

a fat mini-farm

I use it for fnny tomato plants if that's wat you were wondering

Depends, the land owner has said they plan on fermenting it or composting it, or top dressing on their gardens. I suggested a simple compost extract. Would have been good to quench the coals with the extract.

If Ithe USDA or CDFA would listen and fund my projects instead of denying true innovators, the world would already be a better place. God knows I have tried, but I’m the only one working for free, handing out the most critical of information because if it doesn’t get out there nobody will try. I’ve had so many people try to replicate what I am doing here and they don’t quite understand the synergy of specific compounds to elicit a beneficial plant response. Many think the biological agents I’m using is dangerous and anaerobic, but refuse to actually throw down the money to verify it. The goal is to purify and apply, nature does this on it own if you utilize the proper organisms to make powerful enzymes.

we burn for placed biased ecological regeneration. Leaving the char will increase the landscapes ability to regenerate.

@@beardjuice that’s an awesome Idea. This is why I love yt. Beings like you!

@@kofrass5730 nawww... Love you too buddy. 😘 🤣 🤣 🤣

me too!

it was melting but also flinging dust. Maybe i was using the wrong head?

@@kofrass5730 Assuming all plastic is equal and you're using a cutting blade, you're going to fast. Gotta go by feel, it's somewhere between glacial slow and, oh wow it's working.

Thank you! I’ve gotten better at cutting them. I discovered I was holding it at the wrong angle!!

@@kofrass5730 HOW DO YOU HOLD IT AT THE WRONG ANGLE KEN!?

@@beardjuicehaha 😅

always something damming up the flow

🥹

I guess not everyone can do this! Mine smells good, like a fishy smell

The quick method is brown sugar, the most sustainable is plant extracts

this ones for the soil, we haven't experimented enough with a foliar bio char.

certainly, just make sure to collect the coals and give em a quench. Others I know keep a bucket near the fireplace and drench the coals in water. A metal bucket is preferred just be careful not to start a house fire. Our group always generates biochar outside with water nearby, please be safe when you do this.

they did, i wish i had used them earlier instead of waiting till later. The strawberries really enjoyed the sulfur treatments.

thats a fantastic idea.

not yet! just a bunch of articles yet to be complied into a straight forward an easy to comprehend book.

its shitty!

Wilsonbiochar.com

I think 1/8th inch

space coast mealworm makes these. Id need a micrometer to see.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you viewing this video!

I am a menace to civilised society (backyard farmer) and I can confirm that this works. Careful, hot plastic hurts.

I'll get those next time!

Awesome! I’d recommend just using chicken wire around compost to keep the vermin away.

Thanks for your interest! I always liked to hear from the viewers! Please keep in touch!

It’s good, adds more stable carbon to the soil which is always a good thing!

EM-2 water

It was CHARming

Stirring the medium adds aerobic microbes, we stir once a day. How can you also say no oxygen is being introduced when it bubbles naturally, or that it’s minuscule? That’s quite a statement! The ferment is also left open without a cover for a few hours after we stir and we do this at dusk. It was raining the other day with the lid off, once’s closed a film will develop to cap off dehydration once it settles, It’s receiving oxygen the same way soil does, via permeability. When running a bubbler, it’s evaporating nutrients right out of the tea. This is why I don’t bubble anything, I’m hard pressed to see a bubbler in nature. Also this is the 4th month this fermentation has been running, cannot ferment anything for 4 months with a bubbler. You can use a bubbler all you wish, for the KO Process it’s not required nor is it recommended. Different strokes different folks. My focus is having a high density of beneficial Anaerobic bacteria to assist in the process of enriching biochar to increase its long term stability, and for composting. If you like bubblers feel free, just not for me.

@kofrass5730 I said it because it's a basic fact man. Any gas bubbles bro, not just oxygen. In a ferment the gas in question is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide DOESN'T OXYGENATE THE WATER. it instead turns into carbolic acid and hydrogen. This will slightly acidify the water over time. This is actually one reason high C02 in the atmosphere is acidifying the oceans. Anyways, the point is bro the bubbles don't mean diddly. Stirring, agitating and/or a larger surface area will oxygenate water, but still nowhere near what a bubbler does. My question is how do you not know gas bubbles don't mean oxygen lol, bruh. I cannot correct all your incorrect assumptions you made in that reply. I am most confused by your statement you can't use ferment with a bubbler for 4 months. What are you even trying to say? Time and oxygen and plant matter directly relate to microbe population in the names when you increase oxygen you increase microbes in the same time frame.

@@Thee-_-Outlier no one is questioning anything, you have it figured out. The bubbler is an act of oxidation. The goal of omitting a bubbler is to increase nutrient density by acidic actions aka fermentation to bind most nutrients to generate a highly soluble liquid, which cannot be completed as efficiently with a bubbler. Their are many gasses produced by fermentation which can be reduced with certain compounds. Compost teas can be generated for many specific purposes, mine may not be similar to yours, I just don’t need a bubbler, Ever.

@@Thee-_-Outlier if you cannot understand what I am saying, come to a seminar and I’ll show you. You keep editing your responses making it very difficult to answer them. Thanks for watching my videos. I would highly suggest studying up on Korean Natural Farming. They have multiple resources online to learn about the beautiful world of anaerobic microbiology and why aggregates are the most important aspect to soil health. Maybe you already know this. Best of luck.

@kofrass5730 I edit my responses to fix typos because I make allot using a phone keyboard, especially at work where I was when I replied originally Those edits happened in a 5 minute span lol, also I am way more aware of knf and other methods than you'd imagine. Thanks anyways lol. Nothing wrong with knf other than it's totally overblown and brought nothing new or revolutionary with it. It also doesn't work from a biology and chemistry standpoint the way you seminar gurus explain it anyway. It's probably best you take some biology and chemistry classes before i attend your seminar. All that said I do think fermenting yard waste is a decent tool for vertical integration, not the best tool and certainly not a stand-alone solution for most people regarding fertilizer.

It’s a combination of both facultative aerobe and anaerobe working together; which will then go through another purification process once this fermentation is completed!

@@kofrass5730 very interesting

I am all in for figuring out how to naturally organically farm and feed the world and I've put actual effort into trying to solve that puzzle and it seems you underappreciate the massive change in society necessary to pull that off. It is NOT a matter of all the present farmland converting to natural production of fertilizers and vertically integrating fertilizer production into the farm's production of crops. One issue is phosphorus. There is no real way to make plant available phosphorous. Phosphorus is released super slow naturally and you're being like to when ppl sell rock dust and say it's phosphorus. Yea it is, but your plants can't use it until a decade later as the soil acids start breaking down the rock dust. So to achieve the goal of enough PLANT AVAILABLE phosphorus for world food production is potentially not mathematically possible organically, using the strictest sense of the term. This is why it's important you don't call all non organic fertilizers 'nasty chemicals'. For example it isn't legally speaking organic to process rocks into plant available phosphorous with acid, but that's all it is. Soaking rocks in acid is literywhats happening when rocks sit in soil. We just use a stronger acid. This 100% can and is easily done environmentally responsibility. Be careful not to blanket demonize anything that isn't pitched to you as organic and the like. The capitalist pigs and their marketing wizards have taken over that genre. You need to fully educate yourself not get the cliff items via reading the opinions of others on social media etc. Oh to be clear why I said it would take a giant societal change is because the only way I see this working is spreading farming out over the globe and turning society into a largely agrarian and herding society where private family property is all farmed to an extent. We all have to call nteibut to the food production system if it's to work organically and regeneratively. This is the only way we can access enough of the limiting factor of phosphorus. The idea is spreading out the farming in order to access all the available phosphorus being held hostage by the green deserts of suburban lawns and commercial landscaping. To be clear tho if ppl stop being hung up on buzzwords like chemical fertilizers and realize soaking rocks in acid isn't bad for the environment and shouldn't be under the chemical fertilizer umbrella and demonized we could progress intelligently not idealistically. There are many examples of this btw, not just soaking rocks in acid. Many chemical fertilizers are not bad. An issue is however over fertilizing and how farms fertilize and steward their land. This puts fertilizers in the waterways and it isn't the fact they are chemically deprived that's the issue. We are creating algae blooms and changing ph of water and Kiko ng wildlife that way with fertilizer the reason organic regenerative farming doesn't is the land is darker differently as a whole and mass applications doesn't happen once or twice a year creating run off etc.

@@Thee-_-Outlier that’s a lot of text and assumptions. It’s simple to harness phosphorus, look up C4 photosynthesis plants, so many cover crops too. The ignorance of farmers to basic biology is a testament to the generated lack of knowledge. Doing what dad did no longer is an excuse. How about kicking Ag chemical lobbies out of DC and defunding the super pacs and political prostitution of incumbents? It’s funny that the most educated beings I run into about soil power are dirty hippies who didn’t even finish high school and know more than Cornell PHDs!
