I used to garden very very similar to you for 30 or 40 years, then I started watching and being BRAIN WASHED by sites selling me products upon products convincing me I was wrong. THANK GOD I found your site thismorning, it took 8 hours of watching different episodes to get my green thumb and green instincts woken( not to be confused with the political term) being over 60 and nosharp or connected to nature, but thank you for reminding and ENHANCING , teaching , inspiring and giving me a second lease on being that GREEN THUMB GUY again. YOU have the best site . I will unsubscribe to the other 23 tonight, god bless bro
My grandfather whose parents migrated here from Germany. Taught me how to garden. I was the only grandkid he would talk to. Anyway he showed me the way. Now along the way I picked up things. But I didn’t stray from what Grumpy 😠 taught me. Funny story. They held his funeral and he didn’t want his brother there. Well they showed up. There was a set of patio doors. Double opening big glass doors. Well they couldn’t get them open. The lock was broke or something. All of sudden a storm blew up outside and then dam doors blew open for the first time in at least 5 years. Scared the shit out of everyone. Some wise ass said I told you he didn’t want you hear.
I'm so glad you posted this. I made chicken manure with grass, leaf mould and water in a 5 gallon bucket last summer. I've been scared to use it because it was so old. Now I know I can use it. Thank you! P.S. The smell is nothing short of atrocious!
Been using Jadam for three years now. Incredible…….it just common sense. Use comfrey tea for nitrogen then just worm casting tea and compost tea. I lay down shredded leaves and a layer of compost in the fall and cover with landscaping material until spring that’s when I start laying down the microbe soup. Wait a couple of weeks and plant. I Also ferment any fruit that falls from my trees and feed it back the next season. How simple is that, the best fertilizer for any plant is itself. Old guy learning old things……
that all sounds like a wonderful program my friend!!... I found JADAM in 2017 and at that time was growing commercially both conventional and certified organic... when I found JADAM something deep within me said YES this is the way forward and its way beyond even organic!!
This year my compost tumbler was inoculated with mushroom soil 'I grow mushrooms" , biochar, lactobasilus, urine, bokashi and lots of shreaded leaves. Basically the kitchen sink. I'm in SE PA. Tomatoes went in a week ago. They now have Dark green leaves and flowering. Its crazy....
I've been doing what I call Mineral Sludge forever.... same sitch, except I use grass clippings and some other plant clippings here and there. The forest leaf mold sounds amazing. I threw a gallon of cooked white rice in it about a month ago and it went crazy active ... all my plants love it... I will take a gallon or so out of it and then usually add to a bigger 35 gallon water I fill from hose and off gas the chlorine over night etc... then mix it up and spray or water in. and some days I will use sludge directly.. Thanks for the video,, I'm gonna get some forest leaf mold dig it!
I just want to say, man. That I've followed you, chris trump, and spicy moustache for about a year now. You all have the best explanations and how-to's I've seen. Your videos are damn fantastic, and I try to point as many people as I can to you 3 gentleman. Because of y'all I have started down this path of gardening. edit: Please don't stop teaching these methods! I'd like to extend my most sincere thanks for this all.
I'm happy you are here Kathryn... I think a lot of people just don't realize the methods we've been born into are deeply damaging to the earth and must be replaced with these much older methods that enrich the land as we grow food
These are great, simple options. I quickly threw together a galvanized trash can of raw fish from a local pond and some comfrey, etc. Then filled with water. I was going off of memory. This was the perfect refresher that I needed. Thanks!
So stoked I found this channel . I’ve just drove out into my local bush land 🇦🇺 Oz and shaved the humus layer from under the trees to mix with liquid manure drum 👍
What you advocate is fine in the beginning, the long term goal is to benefit only from what grows on your land, to sustain your land without any outside supplies; to utilize in entirety, the gifts your specifc plot is waiting to bestow.. Nature is intelligent and provides exactly what is needed to create a perfect eco system for what is required for your specific crop needs. Nature, i.e., the Elementals, know exactly what we need, people just need to learn to listen. Mankind just generally has a tendency to get in their own way of success. 😅 One other thing I will mention is that the perfect mulch and protection for your growing areas is let whatever is growing in your garden as weeds, etc....leave it there. When I first started 20 years ago, I was constantly fighting the quack grass that is so prevalent here in the desert. I tried landscape fabric, plastic, permaculture and finally cardboard. Nothing worked...it just grew through whatever I put down. Then I experienced an epiphany that Nature was trying to help, not hinder or destroy and I wasn't listening. Obviously I still harbored decades old nonsense, you know, "muh...weeds bad" 🤡 The issues in the desert are high temps, low humidity, and almost daily high winds. I removed the cardboard and let the quack grass grow.....the crops were completely inundated with 3-4' grass. Surprisingly, the crops prospered like never before.....and the pests and disease decreased to a minimal, acceptable degree. Water usage went down, not up. Several years into this experiment I decided to keep the grass trimmed to 6", and that worked well also. Water usage has decreased by 50%...the crops are no longer stressed by the low humidity, high temps and high winds. Beginning of season I put 8 qts of vegan vermipost in the reservoirs with the spring weeds, one of which are the profuse dandelions that grow here, along with what is left from the winter crops and cover crops. While its stewing for a couple of weeks, I fog spray with Sea-90, to get everything up and running. This year I plan to experiment with fruit Jadam because the banana leaves I added to the weed Jadam seemed to be very well liked by the crops. The point I am trying to make is its fine to listen to what others are doing but your land is unique...no other land anywhere is the same. People need to learn to not be afraid to think outside the box. People thought Lofthouse was nuts in creating landrace farming....they aren't laughing now. Accept and relish in the consciousness that only you and your Elementals are Masters of your land. Not everyone can permaculture successfully....my five year experiment was a disaster because we had no rain for that entire time. When I took out the straw....it was literally NOT decomposed. Tree canopies (food forests) don't work well here either because the high winds and heat stress them out. It was only when I cut all the fruit and nut rees to 18" and made bushes out of them instead that they stopped having so much trouble and produced abundant crops. Keep up the good works 🎉
Glad you're here, and in the same Zone!!! I've had training & experience with these concepts & methods, and you present them effectively for a broad audience. Thank you!🤗.
I use this stuff and have a small farm stand. People race each other to get my tomatoes when I put them out in the morning. This can easily be scaled up for farms of all sizes and end the entire chemical fertilizer business.
Thank you. Your introduction encapsulates modern man's first and last problem. All the world's intractable issues become irrelevant when I am in the garden.
I'm so happy to find you! I got this going on July fourth and am now going to use it this evening! Pretty excited, I don't have a large garden but lots of things tucked here and there. 😊
This is very cool. I'm regenerating a worn-out alfalfa farm. Two of those acres are my personal food forest, but man is the soil depleted. This may help in my soil-building process. Thanks.
I been doing this, mostly fermenting weeds and beer dregs, and a lot of burger grease, I am pretty sure you could synthesize barrels like this into crude oil I just top dress it straight up, then apply adaptogen, which increases the nutrient uptake of the plants much like Humic Acids do. That way, you get some instant nutrients, but also a nice time release effect every time you water. It only smells when I stir it, otherwise all the gasses stay trapped under the surface crud
You add animal fats into your ferments? I was curious about making stock with beef bones, and then using that in the garden with the bones that could be turned into bone meal. I've read about meat/fat going rancid in a compost bin, but I'm not fully sure about adding it directly to the soil... What are your thoughts? Thank you!
I could be wrong, but I have read do not add oils to compost piles. For this fermentation process described here, which is a kind of liquid compost, I wonder if it’s also true not to add oils to this liquid brew?
it does not surprise me you're also into gardening!!!... yes fish tank water is very nice also during the summer I place goldfish in the barrels of my rainwater catchment for garden water... it keeps it mosquito free
But, you still will buy those fertilizers when this doesn't work, cause this doesn't work. There is close to zero nitrogen in the oldest grass/weed teas
@thamuddler Yes, of course! I did this and comfrey tea. I tested them using an NPK tester and found absolutely no nitrogen or potassium, and a very small amount of phosphorus.
@@dtroystopper2 XD hahah NPK tester.. come on dude! Even millions of dollar Hi-Tech lab can't calculate the NPK properlly. I also bough a machine that is supposed to be capable of reading NPK from the soil.. it was a freaking scam machine that only read the salt content in the soil and do a random math to display NPK values.. so you read if and think: Hey i need more nitrogen.. During the test, i used tap water and tested it. it was really minimal values.. like 2-5-7.. then i added Sodium Bicarbonate.. and the machine started to display 400-350-470 or things like that.. When i saw it, i understood that i got Scammed. There is no way you can calculate the NPK values other than the Salt content of it. Alfalfa is high in nitrogen but not available unless digested by microbe.. how do you calculate the alfalfa already in the soil to know how much nitrogen it will release? you can't..
You know your stuff! Bravo! I’ve trying to convince my son to compost. I hope that he will listen to you-it’s easy to dismiss mamá. 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you for your well planned videos; they are focused and easy to follow. 💕 🌍🥰
Thank you so much. This is really helpful. The cost of everything is high in Nigeria currently and this method will help me cut down cost on fertilizer . Thanks.
Yet another priceless tool from you that I am adding to my repertoire! Thanks for taking the time to make this video to share your wealth of knowledge!
@@cestmoikim6514 nasturtiums and marigolds are most effective for planting around squash plants... also mint and catnip have good repellant qualities but they spread like wildfire in the garden do its best to boil them into a liquid and then spray onto the plants in the very early morning
I love this video bcause when the SHTF where would anyone be able to buy fertilizer? Nowhere, that's where. I am building a cirular tunnel greenhouse all the way of the old house I am buying so I can grow fresh organic vegetables all year round. The tunnel will lead to both my front and back door and my rain barrel system will provide all the water I need to take care of my vegetables and shower inside my house. I am really happy I found your video on JADAM Liquid fertilizer. Thank you Garden Like a viking.
Good stuff now I need to go get a half dozen barrels to make all different kinds of good stuff. Thank you for what you do. This information is very important and everyone should do this. Thanks
Thanks so very much. What a valuable resource you are. I’d like to share that I did something “similar” (not knowing about you at the time) to help my Florida Flame Maple tree. It was planted about 14 months ago and was having “issues” with dying leaves… not thriving as it should. I went to the nearby park which is loaded with these native trees that are all over the wet marshy areas. I filled a bucket with the decaying leaves and damp matter surrounding the trees and placed it around the base and drip line of my tree and worked it in. About 2-3 weeks later I began getting new leaves and the existing leaves “perked up”. Now I’m going to make this fertilizer and use it on my Live Oak as well. Thank you!!
you should look into what they did to the biochar facility in Michigan, man was using technology to boost the processes handed to us by nature. its bi product? electricity which he supplied for free to 700 homes nearby. when they were set to expand it was burned to the ground. humanity has a terminal case of learned helplessness.
I also been checking you out for a while now. I appreciate all your knowledge that you share with people. It's Good cuz you're easy to understand you walk through everything to help people understand the right way. Much appreciated. God bless you and your family brother 🙏👍🤙
Including your channel I watch 13 gardening channels, I just started growing raise bed gardens this year to help heal my body. I had a lot of success and a lot of failure especially with the corn. I just wanted to say that from all the channels I've come across yours is THE BEST. I love the way you started and introduced yourself and I'm slowly catching up on watching your videos. I was so inspired I also bought the Jadam book and have started reading it and am amazed at all the types of fertilizers (including human waste) that they talk about. I'm a fledgling gardener and was able to start 5 garden beds this year. I love all your videos and will use your guidance to help expand each year. I don't know if you agree with what they are spraying in the sky and if you believe they are spraying aluminum that leeches into the earth. I looked it up and read that if you add lime or gypsum to your soil it would help break that up as the aluminum prevents nutrients from being absorbed by your plants. Do you have any knowledge of this?
thank you for the positive energy my friend!!... I do not have direct knowledge of what you speak of but I do know that typically a plant will only absorb what it needs and will disregard the rest... so just because a compound is present does not necessarily mean the plant will absorb it
Great stuff. Just about to get started working in my backyard as a beginner. Very useful and timely video for me. You are a blessing. Stay blessed as the work of your hands prospers. Thank you so much.
Starting my fertilizer this weekend have to clean out chicken coop cant waste good fertilizer ever , I usually put in compost not this time found some great barrels a few months ago , so excited for this years results thanks my friend 👍❤️😝
I have been researching how to make my own liquid fertilizer and here you are in perfect timing! Thank you for all that you share Nate!!!🙏🏻✨❤️ Should I also be adding sea minerals like seaweed?🤔
if you can get fresh seaweed then its best to make a separate container using just seaweed and leaf mould and water... then one with grass leaf mould and water... then one with manure leaf mould and water... and so on... then combine a bit of each and feed once a week... if you're really interested I'd suggest buying the JADAM book and reading it as he really goes in depth with knowledge
@@TheMississauga333 I believe that roots will absorb as much as needed and start storing energy for spring. So yes. I add used coffee grounds and compost to my lawn in fall. I put the offee grounds in a container in front of a fan and it dries before it goes moldy, then i hand toss it and it is 25-1-1 I believe. Its slow release and worms love it, and it helps ph stay down just like compost does. I use coffee grounds to heat up the composter if it needs more as well, but gotta mix it in or it makes a layer and molds instead of feeding bacterias. 🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻🏭⚡💖🙏
I’m excited to try this this year. This seems a little more doable than the fish fertilizer. I’m sure it doesn’t smell great either, but fish is on a different level. 😅
This is so cool. Do your buckets kept from last year freeze in winter? Does the bucket crack? And how long to make the fertilizer? Will try next spring!
I made this.... I let the kids be 'responsible' for taking the composting material to the bin, more importantly, to Close the lid everytime... which they didn't...ever...and it rained..Alot ☔ Then it made liquid green gold for the plants! 😀 🌿🥇 Good job kids for not listening
Hey! I love you videos. They made JADAM's book a lot more understandable for the scale of garden I have. I recently started brewing my Liquid Fertilizer and when I opened it up today, it was filled with mold.... any idea why that happened? Is that supposed to happen?
WOW--never knew but thanks to you, now I do:)) So exciting that this is just free stuff! That dang Viking is so cute, I have to rewatch the video to hear what he's saying, lol.
Hi; what would happen if we take homemade compost that is not yet finished composted, and ferment it? would it also work? or it will create nasty bacteria and fungus that will be harmfull to plants? Thanks man! you're a Time Saver!
Love the videos man!!! Can I do one where would add crushed bone, grass and banana peels for a truly balanced batch or is it better to do them separately like you did?
The fresh chicken manure tea fertiliser, how long does it take to mature or be ready? And do you use the same leaf mold method? Thanks for all your videos. Quality content
I finished gathering resources (AKA pulling weeds) and filled the barrel and gathered leaf mould from around my yard (yay for lazy yard cleaning). First batch is percolating now. Thanks again!
Are you from/in Northern Indiana? Zone 5 responds well to JADAM. I use JMS 10:1 soil treatment, watered deep or before a hard rain. 20:1 crop drench and 100:1 for the grass/lawn. I mix 35g sea salt to 1L water to make seawater, (30:1) cheers!
Florida people can use seaweed from the beach, (dried or moist) i add a little Epsom salt( magnesium) dried leaves or/ and moringa leaves( loose tea from the store) and sometimes dash of, yep, urine. All in a 5 gallon tub. Happy gardening everyone 🍅🥕🌶
i have just found your channel I'm in the UK and trying to so self sufficient-ish as much as I can, coming newbie into vegetable growing, I have had a bucket of chicken manure for about 5 years in the garden, had a crack in the lid and it filled with rain water, I haven't touched it cos it really did stink every time I went near it, could I still use it or would it be too old now? loving your vids and new subbie here from across the pond :)
welcome to the channel my friend!... check out this video here ua-cam.com/video/iwMFjz7G1d8/v-deo.html ..... you can still make and use the chicken manure solution in the manner you see in the video because it does not go bad really ..
I have been throwing old veggies, leaves, coffee grounds, fruit, etc into an old trash can, and also water. I havent added leaf mold (now I will). I was told this will harm my plants if i use it because of bad microbes (I havent been aerating it). It's been in the trash can for many, many months (although i add food scraps to it weekly). Do you think it will harm my plants to use this? What about once I add leaf mold and let it brew for a couple of months? THANK YOU!!!
I live in area where it freezes during the winter and I was wondering if I could bottle the solution in containers so I could use them on my plants during the winter time
Great video! I look forward to doing this soon. I wonder what the difference is between keeping it aerobic (maybe even adding a bubbler), and letting it go anaerobic. Be well.
I prune my plants, cut grass, vegetable leave, throw in a plastic tub let sit a couple days and my garden is the bomb. Garden tea.

You know your stuff! Bravo! I’ve trying to convince my son to compost. I hope that he will listen to you-it’s easy to dismiss mamá. 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you for your well planned videos; they are focused and easy to follow.
💕 🌍🥰
Saw your comment on ice age farmer. New sub. Thank you!!
Thank you so much. This is really helpful. The cost of everything is high in Nigeria currently and this method will help me cut down cost on fertilizer . Thanks.
Yes,from Nigeria also ,and testing this method on organic tomatoes right now. I will of no small way cut down fertilizer expenses.
Yet another priceless tool from you that I am adding to my repertoire! Thanks for taking the time to make this video to share your wealth of knowledge!
thank you for the positive energy my friend!
@@gardenlikeaviking Could I ask (just watched your pests video again) what you plant around squashes & pumpkins to ward off squash bugs?
@@cestmoikim6514 nasturtiums and marigolds are most effective for planting around squash plants... also mint and catnip have good repellant qualities but they spread like wildfire in the garden do its best to boil them into a liquid and then spray onto the plants in the very early morning
Thanks Man, I'm a Beginner Gardner & found your channel and love it, thanks again
I love this video bcause when the SHTF where would anyone be able to buy fertilizer? Nowhere, that's where. I am building a cirular tunnel greenhouse all the way of the old house I am buying so I can grow fresh organic vegetables all year round. The tunnel will lead to both my front and back door and my rain barrel system will provide all the water I need to take care of my vegetables and shower inside my house. I am really happy I found your video on JADAM Liquid fertilizer. Thank you Garden Like a viking.
thank you for the positive energy my friend and I wish you success with your project!!
The best Chanel
Good stuff now I need to go get a half dozen barrels to make all different kinds of good stuff. Thank you for what you do. This information is very important and everyone should do this. Thanks
Thanks so very much. What a valuable resource you are. I’d like to share that I did something “similar” (not knowing about you at the time) to help my Florida Flame Maple tree. It was planted about 14 months ago and was having “issues” with dying leaves… not thriving as it should. I went to the nearby park which is loaded with these native trees that are all over the wet marshy areas. I filled a bucket with the decaying leaves and damp matter surrounding the trees and placed it around the base and drip line of my tree and worked it in. About 2-3 weeks later I began getting new leaves and the existing leaves “perked up”. Now I’m going to make this fertilizer and use it on my Live Oak as well. Thank you!!
this is a great testimony thank you for sharing!!
I have been doing this for about a year now and everything is working fine. Sweet potatoes, tomatoes , banana plants , everything
Great video I will try this , it was nice to hear you say northern Indiana I'm located in central Indiana what a small world we all live in
thats great! so now you know the things I'm saying about timing also perfectly apply to you!
This guy gives some really good advice much appreciated thanks 🙏
3:50 NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THIS WAY - THANK YOU!!! Gonna put these Vegas weeds/grasses to work!
I am from Indiana and I really learn a lot and appreciate it it so I supported your show keep em coming,
Someone else who understands the importance of our decaying soil, a refreshing change of pace.
you should look into what they did to the biochar facility in Michigan, man was using technology to boost the processes handed to us by nature. its bi product? electricity which he supplied for free to 700 homes nearby. when they were set to expand it was burned to the ground. humanity has a terminal case of learned helplessness.
I agree with what you said "nature has already taken care of that!"
I also been checking you out for a while now. I appreciate all your knowledge that you share with people. It's Good cuz you're easy to understand you walk through everything to help people understand the right way.
Much appreciated.
God bless you and your family brother 🙏👍🤙
Including your channel I watch 13 gardening channels, I just started growing raise bed gardens this year to help heal my body. I had a lot of success and a lot of failure especially with the corn. I just wanted to say that from all the channels I've come across yours is THE BEST. I love the way you started and introduced yourself and I'm slowly catching up on watching your videos. I was so inspired I also bought the Jadam book and have started reading it and am amazed at all the types of fertilizers (including human waste) that they talk about. I'm a fledgling gardener and was able to start 5 garden beds this year. I love all your videos and will use your guidance to help expand each year. I don't know if you agree with what they are spraying in the sky and if you believe they are spraying aluminum that leeches into the earth. I looked it up and read that if you add lime or gypsum to your soil it would help break that up as the aluminum prevents nutrients from being absorbed by your plants. Do you have any knowledge of this?
thank you for the positive energy my friend!!... I do not have direct knowledge of what you speak of but I do know that typically a plant will only absorb what it needs and will disregard the rest... so just because a compound is present does not necessarily mean the plant will absorb it
Great stuff. Just about to get started working in my backyard as a beginner. Very useful and timely video for me. You are a blessing. Stay blessed as the work of your hands prospers. Thank you so much.
Starting my fertilizer this weekend have to clean out chicken coop cant waste good fertilizer ever , I usually put in compost not this time found some great barrels a few months ago , so excited for this years results thanks my friend 👍❤️😝
Thanks for all this precious information, You gain a new subscriber
GREAT VIDEOS. A REAL HEADS UP ON AMENDING THE SOIL NATURALLY. THANKS
I have been researching how to make my own liquid fertilizer and here you are in perfect timing! Thank you for all that you share Nate!!!🙏🏻✨❤️ Should I also be adding sea minerals like seaweed?🤔
if you can get fresh seaweed then its best to make a separate container using just seaweed and leaf mould and water... then one with grass leaf mould and water... then one with manure leaf mould and water... and so on... then combine a bit of each and feed once a week... if you're really interested I'd suggest buying the JADAM book and reading it as he really goes in depth with knowledge
Thank you for the info! I appreciate you🙏🏻❤️Bought the book now😊
also in the fall i am going to make this microbe soup, can i apply it in the fall or should i wait till spring?
@@TheMississauga333 I believe that roots will absorb as much as needed and start storing energy for spring. So yes. I add used coffee grounds and compost to my lawn in fall. I put the offee grounds in a container in front of a fan and it dries before it goes moldy, then i hand toss it and it is 25-1-1 I believe. Its slow release and worms love it, and it helps ph stay down just like compost does. I use coffee grounds to heat up the composter if it needs more as well, but gotta mix it in or it makes a layer and molds instead of feeding bacterias.
🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻🏭⚡💖🙏
Much appreciated ♥️♥️♥️
Ugh! I just cut my first spring grass cutting yesterday! Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for the videos and the way to make your own fertilizer.
Thank you so much for your videos. 😊 I am older and can only have small garden . This will help me get more vegetables in small place. 😅 .
I’m excited to try this this year. This seems a little more doable than the fish fertilizer. I’m sure it doesn’t smell great either, but fish is on a different level. 😅
Early Spring
Grass (preferably wild)
Leaf Mold
dilute with same part water.
I'm here from a comment you left on Park Prosperity. Great video. Now I need some buckets with lids.
I'm happy you are here Abram... this fertilizer is key to success of growing nutrient rich foods!
Me too !
@@gardenlikeaviking I made the one with grass!
This is so cool. Do your buckets kept from last year freeze in winter? Does the bucket crack?
And how long to make the fertilizer? Will try next spring!
I am so excited to try your different fertilizer recipes!
I sure hope more people are doing this
This resonates with me deeply
I made this.... I let the kids be 'responsible' for taking the composting material to the bin, more importantly, to Close the lid everytime... which they didn't...ever...and it rained..Alot ☔ Then it made liquid green gold for the plants! 😀 🌿🥇 Good job kids for not listening
Hey! I love you videos. They made JADAM's book a lot more understandable for the scale of garden I have. I recently started brewing my Liquid Fertilizer and when I opened it up today, it was filled with mold.... any idea why that happened? Is that supposed to happen?
I like you man lol u are so crazy in positive way🥰
WOW--never knew but thanks to you, now I do:)) So exciting that this is just free stuff! That dang Viking is so cute, I have to rewatch the video to hear what he's saying, lol.
lol
best explanation I've seen
I just found your channel and its really informative. Thank you for the content. New subscriber 👍🏾
welcome to the channel my friend!!
thank you so much for all this man i love you and your passion
thanks brother this is great information that all should have. I love the idea of getting local biofauna
Thanks! for making it easy to understand.
thank you for the generous donation my friend I appreciate the contribution and positive energy!!
Love what you're showing there! Thanks for sharing. Do you think it is possible to use these liquid fertilizers in a hydroponic system ?
I am really excited to learn about this 😊
Save the soil, saves the world.
~This is so exciting to me!~Ive had no luck with compost piles, but this seems do-able!~
Brilliant video!!
Hi; what would happen if we take homemade compost that is not yet finished composted, and ferment it? would it also work? or it will create nasty bacteria and fungus that will be harmfull to plants? Thanks man! you're a Time Saver!
Love the videos man!!! Can I do one where would add crushed bone, grass and banana peels for a truly balanced batch or is it better to do them separately like you did?
Oh thank you! Simplicity ❤
The fresh chicken manure tea fertiliser, how long does it take to mature or be ready? And do you use the same leaf mold method? Thanks for all your videos. Quality content
Very excited just picked up two 60 gallon pickle barrels and look forward to getting tall grasses fermenting for next season. Thank you!
thats great!!!... you'll also be able to use it this season as it'll be usable in 3-4 weeks but gets better with time
@@gardenlikeaviking Fantastic!
I finished gathering resources (AKA pulling weeds) and filled the barrel and gathered leaf mould from around my yard (yay for lazy yard cleaning). First batch is percolating now. Thanks again!
This sounds easy enough to do. Sounds like it’s will last for awhile
Yes definitely once it is made it will last virtually indefinitely and it will get better with time in fact the best stuff is one or two years old
Thank you so much for your videos, coming from BC Canada. New subscriber from CP channel.
I'm happy you are here Lindsay
Have you ever made a KNF with Poke Berry plants? I made one that is a month old now with a few handfulls of leaf mold.
Are you from/in Northern Indiana? Zone 5 responds well to JADAM. I use JMS 10:1 soil treatment, watered deep or before a hard rain. 20:1 crop drench and 100:1 for the grass/lawn. I mix 35g sea salt to 1L water to make seawater, (30:1) cheers!
Florida people can use seaweed from the beach, (dried or moist) i add a little Epsom salt( magnesium) dried leaves or/ and moringa leaves( loose tea from the store) and sometimes dash of, yep, urine. All in a 5 gallon tub. Happy gardening everyone 🍅🥕🌶
Very much interested.
Great job
Super important videos. Thanks so much!
i have just found your channel I'm in the UK and trying to so self sufficient-ish as much as I can, coming newbie into vegetable growing, I have had a bucket of chicken manure for about 5 years in the garden, had a crack in the lid and it filled with rain water, I haven't touched it cos it really did stink every time I went near it, could I still use it or would it be too old now? loving your vids and new subbie here from across the pond :)
welcome to the channel my friend!... check out this video here ua-cam.com/video/iwMFjz7G1d8/v-deo.html ..... you can still make and use the chicken manure solution in the manner you see in the video because it does not go bad really ..
Thanks a lot for this knowledge
I have been throwing old veggies, leaves, coffee grounds, fruit, etc into an old trash can, and also water. I havent added leaf mold (now I will). I was told this will harm my plants if i use it because of bad microbes (I havent been aerating it). It's been in the trash can for many, many months (although i add food scraps to it weekly). Do you think it will harm my plants to use this? What about once I add leaf mold and let it brew for a couple of months? THANK YOU!!!
At last i got some simple and helpful answers..now am good to go..
Let me hit the farm!!..bye inorganic fertilizers.
I live in area where it freezes during the winter and I was wondering if I could bottle the solution in containers so I could use them on my plants during the winter time
Great video! I look forward to doing this soon. I wonder what the difference is between keeping it aerobic (maybe even adding a bubbler), and letting it go anaerobic. Be well.
You don't need to do that. It works just fine being a passive system
SAVE THE SOIL!
