I’m happy you liked it! I would always do separate fermentation for each plant but when you need to use them, you can mix them together in a single bucket of water 😊
Thank you @@SpicyMoustache . Your videos are so informative. Just a suggestion. It's more of speech than demonstration. Like, in this video, I would have loved to see how the final FPJ turned out after 7 days. Also a detailed demonstration of how to make Vinegar instead of just talking about it. I would have understood it better. That's all. Thank you very much anyways. I'll look forward to more of your videos.
@@aiyappamm840 thank you for your feedback, I’ll make sure to include all you mentioned. I think it’s worth it to make a whole new video about vinegar 😊
Great overview of the process - - and love the top of using the spent plant matter for making vinegar!! I've made FPJ using nettles, comfrey and a few other herbs.
Regarding FPJ and JLF ( JADAM Liquid Fertilizer ), are these interchangeable in terms of their use? What are the core differences in terms of their nutritional values and composition? Can one just make FPJ instead of JLF and vice versa? Thanks in advance!! Btw great channel and contents.
Interesting seeing this approach to fermented plant juice vs David the Goods version (Fetid Swamp Water). This is more scientific and specific, whereas Dave's is a lot easier and uses a wide array sources for nutrients. However, his also is one that you don't want to use the week or two before harvesting whereas fpj sounds like you can use it on the veggies and immediately eat it.
I’m not aware of that method but I’ll surely check it out and I appreciate you sharing it here! Yes, that’s correct you can consume them straight away even if use a day before 😊
Thank you for information. I would like to ask I'm making wines and there is yeast left and other stuff left after a fermentation is it good for plants you might know? 😅
Thank you! I mainly use it to clean the jars of my natural inputs as it doesn’t alter the fermentation process but it could be mixed with a few inputs as well
Love your instruction style - thanks for all the great info. Can you clarify : you’re recommending once-weekly application of 1:1000 FPJ ; but I don’t see any description of how/when the post fermentation vinegar solution is used. How would you recommend using the vinegar solution in the garden?
Thank you so much, I’m Happy you liked the video! Basically, the vinegar when diluted and sprayed (1:500 for young leaves, 1:200/1:300 for more mature leaves) acts like a coating agent helping leaves to create a sort of wax layer (more resistant to pests and diseases). Also, it helps all the other natural farming inputs to be absorbed better by the plant. I did that part pretty quick so I might have to do another video explaining all about vinegar 😊
I made some a few days ago and it smells a lot like alcohol. In the video you said a bit was normal. How do I know if it has gone bad? I made it from nettles and tried it on young eggplant plants. They still have yellow leaves. Do I up the ratio of water to fertilizer? Thanks!
I have about ten peppers that I admittedly started too early and have had their first sets of leaves for over a month now. They haven't grown past an inch or so and haven't put out any true leaves yet. Can I revive them and get them grow? Or should I cut my losses and buy nursery plants?
You can definitely bring them back! The only issue is probably the pot too small and they need to be planted out. I’m having the same issue but as soon as you’ll be able to plant them out, they will come back. Make sure to “break” the root mass once you move them from one pot to another.
Can you do this same process with mushrooms? I just started seeing a couple of morel mushrooms popping up I found 2 other kinds of mushrooms in my wood chips and property which I haven't ID'd yet
Aerated compost tea it’s different because the air produced by the air pump could damage mycelium and microorganisms. I saw side by side comparison with a microscope and the amount of fungal activity, etc it’s much better in a solution like the above.
Is there any danger in using plants with known allelopathic properties? We have trees here in the house and three of them have known allelopathic effects.. but they are the most established and have lots of green growth.
Thanks please what is BRV? I googled it and it saying about cars, what is it and how do you use it together with fermented plants juice and please how long do you store it for,? Thanks and sorry for many questions, it will be my first time to make this FPJ
It’s not recommended to be used alone, needs to be combined with oriental herbal nutrient, OHN, and brown rice vinegar, this is KNF maintenance solution, saids drake from KNF Hawaii
Allow your grass grow tall and weeds to grow everywhere. Cut some grass and weeds and dump them onto the soil where you are growing vegetables. They will start to decompose when you water you vegetables. Better still, prepare the ground before you plant anything. Cut the grass and weeds and put them back to the soil. Block the ground using cardboard or tree leaves. After a month or two, you can plant your vegetables. NO fertilizer or compost needed. LOL LOL
Yep, that’s called cover crops and you can use it as well but for plants requiring a lot of nutrients like tomatoes and corn, you’ll still need to feed the plants :)
@@oldchild527 Nature does not use any fertilizer. Yet nature is much more prolific than any human farms. Plant a lot of trees. Get the tree leaves and compost them. Of better still. Plant a lot of trees and grow your vegetables right underneath the trees. Tree leaves are a lot more fertile than your chemical fertilizers. Your chemical fertilizers only have NPK. Tree leaves have many minerals than can't be found on the surface of your property. Tree roots penetrate ten or even hundreds of feet of soil to get them.
Great info, thank you! Can you mix the 3 plants to make FPJ? I mean ferment them together?

Best FPJ video on UA-cam!
wow thank you very much =)
Thank You You really are The Italian God Of Gardening. 👍
Haha thanks a lot 😊
Loved the video, informative, scientific and your no-nonsense presentation. Keep on keeping on😎👍

I really enjoy watching your shows, very informative. Do you have any researche websites or books you recommended?
You're awesome man. Really informative 😊
Dude you're a legend
Nice video Alessandro...love the music and style✌💚
Thank you so much, appreciate it 😊
Quality friend............
Harvest when moon is out aswell as moons gravity draws up moisture
Great video man i love your channel
Love the detailed explanation! Subscribed
Thank you so much mate, appreciate your support :)
Is there any plant matter that is Not suitable to use to make FPJ, Such as Onions, Lime Peels, Lemon Peels, etc?
Love your videos. Thanks!
Thanks a lot 😊

Nice one ❤️
Thank you for a very detailed interesting presentation. I've heard molasses are good for plants. I'd like to know what you think ?
What is the app you use to identify wild plants? I have listened 10 times but couldn't catch it. Sorry. Thank you
You are blowing my mind
Thank you for information. I would like to ask I'm making wines and there is yeast left and other stuff left after a fermentation is it good for plants you might know? 😅
Makes perfect sense, tank you👍
It’s a very good point mate, plastics porous
Amazing content. Cheers homie.
Very informative video! So what can you use the vinegar for?
Thank you! I mainly use it to clean the jars of my natural inputs as it doesn’t alter the fermentation process but it could be mixed with a few inputs as well

@@SpicyMoustache interesting! Speaking of vinegar. What are your thoughts on pyroligneous acid/wood vinegar?
@@JoanEvangelista mmm honestly I don’t know much about it but I’ll source more Info :)
@@SpicyMoustache Thanks! I just see people recommending them and been reading a few papers and trying some now on the garden.
@@JoanEvangelista sounds great! Please let me know how it goes :)
I'm learning in doing this
I made some a few days ago and it smells a lot like alcohol. In the video you said a bit was normal. How do I know if it has gone bad? I made it from nettles and tried it on young eggplant plants. They still have yellow leaves. Do I up the ratio of water to fertilizer? Thanks!
Thank you!
excellent
Thumb up
Thank you 😊
How long of a shelf life do a batch of FPJ have?
You learned this from..? Chris who?
The vinegar part i mean
If you can attach him it would be great.
Can you make fpj out of kitchen scraps?
I have about ten peppers that I admittedly started too early and have had their first sets of leaves for over a month now. They haven't grown past an inch or so and haven't put out any true leaves yet. Can I revive them and get them grow? Or should I cut my losses and buy nursery plants?

Awsome video I was just wondering can you use grass for this?
Yes any green plant matter
How does this compare to using aerated compost teas?
Aerated compost tea it’s different because the air produced by the air pump could damage mycelium and microorganisms. I saw side by side comparison with a microscope and the amount of fungal activity, etc it’s much better in a solution like the above.
Is there any danger in using plants with known allelopathic properties? We have trees here in the house and three of them have known allelopathic effects.. but they are the most established and have lots of green growth.
I wouldn’t really use plants like that as they might inhibit the growth of other plants.
@@SpicyMoustache thank you! I'll be researching first. Hopefully the weeds we have here aren't so I can at least make some use out of them :)
FPJ should always be applied alongside BRV.
Never apply alone.
Thanks please what is BRV? I googled it and it saying about cars, what is it and how do you use it together with fermented plants juice and please how long do you store it for,? Thanks and sorry for many questions, it will be my first time to make this FPJ
The transcript lost me and at 6 minute part time featuring the Chris name of the farmer.... what is the name, please
Is there a way to make FPJ shelf stable for an extended period of time?
I think it is the same way like jam if you add more sugar.
Could you use Cardoon in this process?
If it’s growing fast, non poisonous and resistant to temperature fluctuations, it’s good to be used :)
@@SpicyMoustache thanks!
It’s not recommended to be used alone, needs to be combined with oriental herbal nutrient, OHN, and brown rice vinegar, this is KNF maintenance solution, saids drake from KNF Hawaii
You can do this alone 100%
Can I use wheatgrass
You sure can
can i use sugar cane stalks in place of brown sugar?
Super bro
Allow your grass grow tall and weeds to grow everywhere. Cut some grass and weeds and dump them onto the soil where you are growing vegetables.

Check out David the Goods version - 'Fetid Swamp Water'. I think it's much easier
Chop and drop is nice but I still use fertilizer, take in account that it helps leaves fight pests too
@@oldchild527 Nature does not use any fertilizer. Yet nature is much more prolific than any human farms. Plant a lot of trees. Get the tree leaves and compost them. Of better still.
