Healthy plants resists bugs and slugs from eating them. Plants that don't have to spend energy fighting off pests and diseases can focus all their resources on growing bigger. And if you maximize the soil's potential, it will maximize the plant's potential.
Feed the soil, not the plant. Using compost tea to deliver the nutritional equivalent of 500 lbs of compost. All the micro-organisms in the soil are stimulated to such a high point that they give the plant the maximum food for it's production. And more food for the soil means bigger, tastier, healthier veggies. In fact, they are ultra healthy, as measured by their brixx level, which is the amount of plant sugar they contain. In the grocery store, most plants have a Brixx level of between 6 and 10. These plants weigh in at a whopping 20, which means they taste more than twice as good, and are not stringy.
When the compost tea, it causes a bio-film that protects the plant from diseases and insects. Get the largest yield possible. To get their special formula, go to www.bountea.com

Well, the tea may help, but I lived up there and Palmer is famous for its huge veggies, whether you use tea or not, the 19 hours of sunlight right up to Midnight in June, the glacial rich organic soils of the Matanuska Valley makes Palmer the world record holder for growing mammouth veggies.
Quite interesting. I've spent time in Palmer and was impressed with the amazing gardens. Long cool days and rich, glacial soil make gardening look easy. It's a a short intense season but conditions are nearly laboratory perfect for cool season gardening. Here in Georgia I've been developing a garden method that is turning out well. Since I drive a dump truck , I find dairy farms with composted manure and layer my garden about a foot thick. And then comes the secret. The local feed mill has scraps that can be bought for less than .08 a lb. Cover your compost with an inch of corn meal/ soybean meal scraps and your entire garden becomes a wormbed.
Of course he won't tell you the secret because he wants all of the Guinness records.
This video is so inspiring and encouraging. I just started my vermiculture project and thinking of making compost tea for my vegetables and fruit trees. This really save a lot of money and learning to apply an organic and natural fertilizer are a lot of advantage. I learn a lot from this video. Thank you John.
Why oh why have so many folks gave this video thumbs down ? .. This chap is a gardening genius !! What is up with these people .. Jealousy ? It has to be .. Anyway its good to see these old timers showing how to grow big healthy veg instead of the GM crap that's spreading cancer into people.
Man seems noone caught the brix portion. Man he grows some beautiful plants that are nutritious HIGH BRIX 20+ that means it taste better and has more nutrients. The high brix is more impressive than the size and health of the plants. That is the benefit of organic gardening well one of many benefits.
Check out his rows of soil he's planting in, they're like 2-3ft high raised beds and the consistency of the soil looks choice, that's a huge part of the secret right there... the compost tea is good too...
I've seen my neighbour do this and his plants are incredibly large and healthy. Gotta give this a try.
I love this video, I started harvesting my compost and worm castings. I will be applying compost tea using this method. Thank you in sharing this video.
Most aren't lucky enough to start with the rich soil of the Matanuska valley, and at least twelve hours of sunlight for the growing season.... Geography does play a part in successful gardening.
Oh my God! I'm impressed with the size of his plants. Well done, Sir. You've got my respect!
You certainly know how to feed your plants...I have great results with my indoor plants giving them a drink of strong tea every other day.
"Here's the secret to my success." (Doesn't tell us the secret.)
What he also doesn't explicitly say is that that plants that he sows are selected for genetic strains that grow larger than average. Know what happens if you sow carrots in compost and water daily with compost tea? You get the hairiest, most mis-shapen (yet quite edible) carrots. You literally have to "shave" them before you process them.
It helps to have almost 20 hours or light most of the summer
The wax on leaves I read contains tricontanol which is the secret when he uses it when making compost tea. There is a lot in kelp.
WoW, John, your garden just gorgeous!!!!
that's fantastic John, you are the best gardener I have ever seen
You got a great garden. Anything from plants helps the plants grow. But nothing is better than a fish in the soil.
