I enjoy all the knowledge, keep sharing. I'm trying to come up with a plan to use compost extract on irrigated hay ground. I'm curious how much to put on it? Mostly gated pipe
I'm thinking about making a port somewhere on the pump but my concern how much would go out the other side of the field and be lost? Or would it be best to apply in the spring the after it's harvested

Please tell me if you think my extract process is OK. Small scale. Just my garden. I put my measured Jo-Su compost into a bowl. I pour, from my measured water, just enough water so that the compost is loose in the water, then I agitate it for about 20 seconds. I pour that "extract", through a screen, into my spray container. I put that compost back into the bowl. I repeat this process until the measured water runs out, and by that time the water is close to clear. I don't assume much of the bacteria is stuck to the compost by that time. Do you think this is OK?

Triticale Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye first bred in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Germany. Commercially available triticale is almost always a second-generation hybrid, i.e., a cross between two kinds of primary triticales.
this is not a good idea as i see it because of all the fungus and stuff that could be on the compost. it might be too saline for the seed, which in any case does not need nutrients for the beginning. compost applied as mulch inhibits some of the small seeded weeds because they need to see light to germinate. mulch also cuts soil surface evaporation. if you have enough leaves to pile up several inches around plants, you need not compost them. if i had compost for the wheat i would apply it with a manure spreader so long as it was not enough to bury the seed too deep.
All the fungi in the compost is good compost Do you know that much about Johnson Su compost? Also are you aware of Dr James Whites research out of Rutgers University and what he has done with endophytes? Anyway I disagree with you. I really appreciate your feedback and comment I just disagree We did DNA samples on the compost It’s good stuff ua-cam.com/video/BZHVj_GFipU/v-deo.html
Ok so you just make compost tea and inoculate your seed with it. They been doing this for decades already, right? And your saying this is cutting your fertilizer use in half?
What's different is that it's a high fungal compost. It's the fungal networks that allow the plants to make better use of the nutrients already in the soil

Greencover seed will apply to your cover crop seed. Two year life if kept well as specified. Handy for starting soil web life.

How long will this compost extract keep for or does it have to be used right away?

It’s Shelf life is 4-6 days depending on the temperature outside and if you can get a little air to it.

20 seconds doesn’t seem like along time but you might be ok.
I bet the kids were devastated when dad turned the playhouse into a scale house
They love playing in there!
Do you have any info on the amount of air used, and if too much air can kill the biology in the water while its extracting?
Thumbs up Farmers always know how to turn a situation around

So, can you give a recipe based on what's learned?
70gall for 500 bushels?
That’s what John Niswonger is doing and it has worked well for him. He learned it from another farmer

So we treat seeds with a fungicide and pesticide before seeding, do you guys do it to and would it kill the JST bio?
I’m sure the fungicide does kill some of the fungus but the response from the seed once it in contact with the fungus still produces exudates.
Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn't this be easier to apply in furrow with the drill tanks?
Great question

@@falzala It all depends on what compost you have and how biodiverse it is, get your compost tested, and if its great, then in many cases you dont need fertilizer, always test first, try with a smaller plot, with and without fertilizer, adjust accordingly
@@MIRSTROY alright, usually how many times per month we do the application?
Very interesting.
Good info. How did you get it through the drill?
It was dry by the time it got to the drill. Some of the Australians are treating it straight into the drill
Thnx for allowing me to watch you work this out on a large scale. Yikes!
No problem will treat wheat And do it hopefully without any more hiccups and show how that goes
What cover crops would work best inter seeded in to wheat? I was wondering if hubam sweet clover.
Depends on your area
We did red clover
Radishes
Turnips
Why couldn't you inoculate crushed black carbon/biochar and use it to treat your seed?
You probably could. We're planning to try it this year as we have a decent amount of biochar.
Trying to figure out what the name of the winter crop your saying...

seems like a shower head with a fine spray should be attached to the pipe
The plan is to make the extract and put it in our pump we attach to the 4wheeler and spray extract on that
We’re going to hook up a pump on the four wheeler and pump extract onto it as it’s going onto the truck
