Mon 20/11/2023 Well NATE, I just made the rice water to make the LABS for the third time. I love the cheese, and my plants love the whey! I actually put the LABS together with the Liquid Calcium Acetate, and water the plants. Even the house plant loves it. Just so grateful for these awesome recipes you have shared with us. I have never in my life seen such awesome results from using these soil amendments of yours. Every time I rewatch this video to make sure I do it right. Which I know helps your channel. I love to brag about the results I get, when family and friends, say to me "You have green fingers." I tell them about NATE "Garden like a Viking" who has shared his knowledge, which is backed up with proof....... THANK YOU NATE, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!❤💚❤️💚❤️Much love from SA 🌍🇿🇦❤️💚
Do you ever get any mold or colored puffy stuff on top of the curds. I just made mine I’m pretty sure I can cut it off because there’s a skin on top but I’m not taking any chances.
I appreciate the passion you have for gardening. LABs is a great addition to the garden I have been using this culture for years. Not only does it promote nutrient cycling but can outcompete “some” pathogens (1:16 labs:water foliar spray for powdery mildew for example). If your not a “fan” of milk, you can use kombucha, Sauerkraut/Kimchi juice these are lacto cultures without the milk and they also have other beneficials such as yeast not “true” KNF but still effective. You can go a step further and make a FPE (fermented plant extract) adding the lacto culture, plant matter (any plant just look up its nutrient values) molasses and water, leave in a sealed container WITH an air lock (to keep oxygen out and to release the “gasses” the microbes create (mainly Co2 I ferment in my grow space to utilize the Co2 for plant growth) 🤣 you can even go a step further and create an Effective Microbe culture and add additional beneficials such as PNSB/PSB (can be purchased or worm castings/murky, stagnant pond/lake water/mud will work) yeast (really any yeast i use sourdough starter (my native yeast culture) same process as the FPE in airlocked container use diluted on plants or make FPE with it. I love making DIY amendments/pest controls. Keep sharing brother man.
I found that when making LAB if you add 2 tbsp of Butter milk it greatly increases the success. You will see the process start within 12 hours. I did this using the rice wash water and Homo Milk.
I raised both my girls on raw milk and fermented it using milk kefir grains, that kefir is amazing. We don’t drink a lot of milk anymore but I still make milk kefir. I usually continue fermenting it after i’ve removed the grains and leave some to split for the LAB, it is an incredible tonic for the garden, and wonderful boost to my compost and my worm farm, everything loves it, including my house plants and me 😀 Thanks so much for your awesome videos, I’m sharing far and wide.
Every time I make this, I always rewatch! I know I sent you a thank you and hit the like and left a comment the first time you released this video. I have left a comment each and every time sense. The least I can do, thank you my brother, can wait to spray this over all of existence!
Nate, I just want to say thank you. Your channel is (by a large margin) the most informative, factual and easy to understand channel I've come across. Your explanations are concise, easy to understand and straight forward. Although it's a bit late in the season to utilize some of the great methods you have provided, I will certainly do as much as I can this season and be ready for the coming season. After reading through some of the comments, its clear hat you have inspired a great many, myself included. May thanks... p.s. more food preservation would be most welcomed.
Been looking for years for a simple cheese recipe. Everyone is so scared of getting into trouble over recommending natural but 'dangerous' raw milk. My 4 children and I have been drinking it for years.
A wonderful explanation of the difference between commercial and raw milk. Most people don't know that. The visuals on what to look for as it progresses were great! I'm sure this video will answer all the questions the tribe has on LABS and what to look for. Fantastic guide and something to refer back to! ThanQ, Nate! 💖
Thank you Nate! It is great to know this option. Yes, this year is not over but I am excited for next year’s garden. I wish I had discovered you earlier in this season🙏🏻
Raw milk actually keeps longer. There is a good video on “Homesteading family” about raw milk, clabber, cottage cheese, cheese and drinks made with whey !!! Great job Nate !!! Blessings
i made this, and it worked so freaking fast... The rice water had the culture in 48 hours, and after I combined it with the milk it separated in 24-26 hrs, I'm currently watering all my plants with it and squeezing out the cheese. I bet it also helped that I'm in the tropics, 1800 metros above sea level.
Thanks for the website. Super cool. Had a steady stash of labs for a long time but now have had issues with getting the store bought to separate the last couple times for some reason. Can't wait to try the real raw stuff!
Thank you Nate for this video. Wow! your content is so informative and easy to understand. Also thank you for the link in the video about where to find raw milk. It is sometimes very hard to find in the city and this helped me locate a shop close to me
Fascinating stuff! Explains so many things about milk (I'm intolerant). I'll now go visit my neighboring farmer who raises beautiful grass-fed cows. Thank you again for the education ( much needed). 🙏🏼
nice!... I'm so happy you are experiencing the garden in that way!... yes more cooking videos coming... I'm actually filming several of them and will probably release several in the winter time when there's no gardening happening to get people hype for the season!!
Thanks for all that you do, Nate. It is very much appreciated. In the first video on LAB, you said that you were going to do a video on how to make a better cheese than just what is produce this way. I haven’t seen any such video, so I would very much appreciate it if you would either point everyone to that video or produce it when you have some time.
thats true... the thing is that I have come to really love the living cheese of the simple way shown here... because to make "actual" cheese from the LABS cheese involves heating the cheese over the stove until it essentially melts and then adding a good deal of salt... and if so desired you can add other "cheese" strain enzymes as it cools... but the heating process destroys the "living" factor to the cheese and so I never do that anymore I just eat it all fresh and alive... but maybe I'll still do it for a video for you guys!... thank you!
@@gardenlikeaviking I can certainly understand that. I made the LAB and cheese for the first time a few weeks ago. I combined the cheese with EVOO, sea salt and balsamic vinegar , and it was great.
Chce nawiązać do bakterii, ktoś zapytał, czy można to serum zamrozić. Ja kupuje różne szczepy bakterii kwasu mlekowego do produkcji serów podpuszczkowych, czyli żółtych oraz do ukwaszania np. śmietany lub mleka świeżego. Te kupione szczepy bakterii są w proszku i muszę je po dostawie szybko zamrozić aby nie straciły swojej mocy. Myślę że serum dla roślin też można zamrozić, gdyż sama kiedyś tak robiłam jak nie miałam pod ręką wyselekcjonowanych bakterii.serwatke się zamraża w małych porcjach. Przed użyciem do mleka dodajemy w momencie rozmrozenia i mleko musi mieć temp. Około 35 st. Pozostawiam w mleku aby bakterie się namnozyly i dopiero po 1h zaczynamy pracę z mlekiem, czyli przystępuje y do procesu produkcji sera. Do zastosowania w ogrodzie serwatki wystarczyło by rozmrozić ja dodac wody i trochę aktywatora w postaci melasy lub cukru, co inni o tym myślą
Thanks my brother, great show! I will never drink store milk again, I had no idea what all the heat alone does so much damage to the raw milk, and all the things that we miss out on due to it. I may only get it two or three times a month, but at least, I'm getting the good stuff...peace ✌
This is so cool. I have dairy goats. I've made Labs I've made the jdam and doing a lot of experimenting. My plants grow pretty good and then when they flower they're not nutrient-dense. Also have ducks and chickens and want to use their manure for fertilizer. And of course I make cheese. I noticed that you do not add any molasses. My question is did the jdam really work for you or does the labs work better or does the milk whey work better?
To me, It looks like the "Labs" are essentially Whey from Cheese making. Do you notice a difference in prep from this video and your cheese making? JADAM is just a set of rules and fertilizers, it works with KNF practices such as the LABS.
I made LABS last year in a 5-gallon bucket. It sat outside all Winter, and Summer in 100+ degree weather. I opened it to throw it out and it smelled like sweet pineapple juice, it was the weirdest thing. I dumped it without thinking, assuming it was "weak" or "bad", but after I got a whiff of the nice smell, I regretted dumping it out.
I poured my labs out too early. the next batch, it looked right, but i was looking for the yellow/green hue, it wasn't there-- i took a chance (i'm such a novice) and poured it out-- there was the color in Nate's jar. It looked different with the cheese on top. Got my fish hydrolosate (sp) cooking now. Love my Viking advice guy!! hoping for some turnout this year , so happy i found his channel. Thanks Nate!!
Hi Nate, I'm a master at making the LAB now, it's all about the smell from the water before you add the milk, I liken it to a slightly sweetening smell once you get it it's easy to make aslong as it's a 1/10 ratio, I use distilled water too. What exactly goes on when you add it to the soil, you should have a good rant on Saturday as I'm sure others would love to know too.
Oh WOW! The cream on the top brought so many good memories. When we were growing up on a Ranch in (Rhodesia) now called Zimbabwe. Our Dad had a dairy, the cream was so thick on top of the milk. Oh so YUMMY!!!!!......... Of course Nate, you kept your promise to make another video, on a easier way to make the ProBotic Fertilizer. YAY!!!.... ................................................. ..........YOU ARE THE BEST ........ ......**❤N❤A❤T❤E❤**...... ......................................................
You are amazing person spreading the knowledge freely!i make labs with raw goat milk and it's been now 8 days!since day 6 the seroum has separate beautifully but it is on the top of the containers!something went wrong?should i wait more?it smells fine and looks goog!hope the best for you and the land is coming...!
Hello Nate! J'ai un très petit jardin urbain et c'est une très grosse quantité pour moi. J'aimerais savoir combien de temps se conserve le lactosérum s'il te plait? Il faut le garder à température pièce ou au refrigérateur?
Just want to thank you again Nate. Found a killer farm with raw milk and A bunch of real meat and food. Instead of this poison at the grocery store. Big ups brother. Blessings
YES my friend thats a wonderful connection to make!!!... be sure to tell others near you so they can support that farm as well which I'm sure you're already doing!!
Thank you for wonderful videos. - Enzymes are made of protein molecules. They do not survive passage through the stomach, where a pH 2 denatures protein, so that pepsin (an enzyme that can last a short time at this acid pH) can break the long protein molecules into shorter pieces, which will then be broken down further at alkaline pH in the small intestine by different enzymes. Amylase, which breaks down starches, starts working in the mouth already. In fact, our bodies produce it there themselves. Further digestion happens in the gut by our own enzymes.
Good morning brother! Nate @gardenlikeaviking I have a question or few for you, please!?! I started my rice wash with well agitated hot RO water & white basmati rice on the 3/20/24. On 3/25 it smelled slightly cheese-ish but had no film on the top, which threw me off a bit. It’s been on the top shelf in the pantry, definitely out of direct light but the house is kept around 69F. It’s now 3/28 & there’s a little film on top & the cheese smell is more profound & I actually like the smell too, lol! • Question #1 : is there an ideal temperature for the rice wash water to do itz thing at?? • Question #2 : Is it best to let my gallon of organic whole milk to sit out to get to room temp B4 mixing it with the rice wash water or does that even matter?? • Question #3 : Can the farmhouse cheese pressed water be added to the LABS or is it to be discarded?? I’d really appreciate some help on these things if possible please! I’ve rewatched both of your videos on this several times & yet here I am… Much love & many thanks to you Nate @gardenlikeaviking , I’m soo grateful for you my friend 🙏🏻❤️
Bro great idea. I’m just going to try using the fermented rice water diluted added with other fertilizers to water my plants, easier. Ever tried that? Can’t hurt.
Have you tried this on skin? Know any women using this for yeast infections? This even seems like it would be good for itchy scalp and eczema…? Can you drink the liquid as a probiotic? Any info on these things?
Would there be any downside in just using either the whey from normal cheesemaking where I was using a mesophilic starter culture (I would not do this with any mold culture cheese) I have actually used whey as fertilizer before but is it the same as your "LABS"? - OR - Lactobacillus I grow using grain to kettle sour a beer? I'm assuming these would be the same thing and I can just coordinate making the extra lacto with hobbies I already do.
Hi Nate, I appreciate your sharing your knowledge on this topic and wonder if one can make LABs from cow colostrum milk and from human colostrum milk too.
Can you tell us what those counter top composters use to turn food scraps in to compost in ( 24 hours, I think it is). Is it lactose bacillus and or mycorrhizae fungi……or?
This is an off-topic post, but maybe you have some advice. I haven't really been on top of fertilizing the first set of plants I was growing, and I have some jalapenos that are pretty tiny, like half inch big and not really growing, and the plant is about a foot or more. It at first seemed to not have much light, but it's grown out to be able to get more now. I put a layer of potassium sulfate I had, as well as used some fish hydrolysate and some fermented orange juice, and some of this animal bone/etc fertilizer that I created from chicken bones and meat scraps, but I also simmered it a bit, like making a stock, which I figured would be better by releasing the nutrients quicker, so I hope that helps out. I did try fertilizing it with some of this stuff a week or 2 ago and there wasn't much growth, but it's possible that since my sprayer was clogging and i had to dump it, that maybe it wasn't absorbed properly, especially with all the peat moss I have in this bed. It makes me wonder if creating a stock/broth/etc, and using that for your plants, would be beneficial... Or would you think that would be a bad idea as it's heating and thus possibly destroying and creating a "Dead product" that the microbes cannot feed on... Which to me wouldn't really make sense as broths, stocks, soups have been touted/used as a cure for sickness for a long time, and seem to actually enhance microbial activity in the gut/immune-system in order to help heal the body faster. Thank you for everything!
@@cecilycronin6243Hmm... I'll look into that, thanks. I also have some tomatos that have been sitting in a jar for about a year. I'm not really sure if i added any whey/labs to either of these to start the whole fermentation process, but i will have to add some.
Oglądając odcinek nie bardzo zrozumiałam wszystko, ponieważ nie znam angielskiego a pośród napisów nie ma polskiego, czy mógłbyś włączyć napisy po polsku. Ja robię sery, gdzie na skutek ciepła mleko samo się z siada, następnie podgrzewam do 40 stopni i wtrąca się serwatka, czy jest ona o takiej samej wartości dla gleby co powstała na bazie wody ryżowej. Pozdrawiam
When I think, there may be Nate's video. After I open UA-cam app, I got your video. This was happened more times. Thanks nate. How to make butter milk. In India they apply sour butter milk in the period of flowering.
Hi. I am curious to ask what’s the different effect between JMS and Labs. They both are beneficial microbes. Do both have different purpose. Thank you. Love your channel
I'm currently testing 2 jars, one with raw milk and rice wash water at 1:10 and the other raw milk only. It's been 7 days since adding rice wash water to the first jar and the second jar (raw milk only) seems to be further along. Is it normal for the rice wash method to be taking this long? There's a bit of curd on the surface but no clear separation yet
well there's absolutely no reason to add the rice wash to the raw milk because it already contains everything the process needs naturally... the reason we add the rice wash (only once it turns) is to inoculate the store bought milk with strong strains of lactobacilli so it doesn't spoil before fermenting because its been pasteurized and is therefor a microbial dead product... so really you've just diluted the raw milk with water and introduced foreign matter but I applaud your desire to experiment my friend keep it up!!!!
Nate, hey there, friend! QUESTION: Can this be used VERY STRONG now while the garden beds are resting for the winter? I just finished a gallon of milk and we have SO MUCH! Thanks, Nate!
while there's no plants in the ground yes you can add it strait if need be... but thats kind of a waste at this point... best to dilute and add to the compost pile and spray all over everything in the whole garden
You just remined me. Thanks. Some of my cucumber leaves are turning yellow so bad they are getting brown spots. This is 1/2 way up the vine. Nitrogen deficiency maybe. I'll be collecting my urine. Haven't had a vaccine in over 50 years and off all meds I no longer believe in for about 4 years.
powdery mildew and potato blight can be protected by store bought milk that has gone off and diluted with some water. thats how it was done in Ireland before they invented commercial bluestone sprays which was outlawed in Ireland a few years ago but milk works great and the scientists still have no clue as to why but they know it works
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks Nate! I am doing something similar to what I have seen on your channel. I am reclaiming a bit of my property by spreading yard waste (leaves, weeds, grass etc.) about 12-18" thick across a 60ftx25ft section. I can't burn like you do but I want to get this ground ready for Spring 2025 (probably fruit trees). I was thinking about alternating LAB with JMS many times throughout this year. I'll add a nitrogen source to this mix as you recommend.
Hi Nate, thank you for quality content! One thing i don’t quite understand is: when do we apply JMS and when LABS? Are they to be used during the same watering once weekly or should we use them interchangeably? If anyone knows please let me know, cheers!
In my understanding JMS has to be applied 3 to 4 times before starting of season (before you put seed or plants in soil). LAB is used while plants are growing.
Look into this - I think I heard Nate say this... one way to use LABS is to apply it straight a few times several weeks B4 planting. This is to help prepare soil.
I volunteer at a horse farm that also has goats so my question is, can I use raw goat milk and get as good results? I've been doing the rice water/whole milk method with great success though but I'm making way too much that way 😑
yes raw goat milk will do a very similar process but with much less solids due to a lower fat content... just take however much you have and let it sit just like in this video and use the liquid... it doesn't make very good cheese IMHE but let me know if it does for you!
aside from my thought of reaching out to some Amish... is there another access point to acquire raw milk { I am also in search for not only LABS, yet for the natural form of Colostrum quality / timing of the raw milk} any thought / ideas?
Mon 20/11/2023
Well NATE, I just made the rice water to make the LABS for the third time. I love the cheese, and my plants love the whey!
I actually put the LABS together with the Liquid Calcium Acetate, and water the plants. Even the house plant loves it.

I found that when making LAB if you add 2 tbsp of Butter milk it greatly increases the success. You will see the process start within 12 hours. I did this using the rice wash water and Homo Milk.

I make my lab with heavy cream. Also spray my chicken and pig areas to help with smell and to break down solids for composting.
You are amazing person spreading the knowledge freely!i make labs with raw goat milk and it's been now 8 days!since day 6 the seroum has separate beautifully but it is on the top of the containers!something went wrong?should i wait more?it smells fine and looks goog!hope the best for you and the land is coming...!
You are welcome good sir!
I love labs best my garden loves you Nate
Excellent! My Friend. Thank You for making it even easier!.
Hello Nate! J'ai un très petit jardin urbain et c'est une très grosse quantité pour moi. J'aimerais savoir combien de temps se conserve le lactosérum s'il te plait? Il faut le garder à température pièce ou au refrigérateur?
love your channel. amazing knowledge. thank you.
Just want to thank you again Nate. Found a killer farm with raw milk and A bunch of real meat and food. Instead of this poison at the grocery store. Big ups brother. Blessings
YES my friend thats a wonderful connection to make!!!... be sure to tell others near you so they can support that farm as well which I'm sure you're already doing!!
@@gardenlikeaviking lol yup! Told my friends and family! Thanks brother
We get cream line milk from the store. It is pasteurized but not homogenized. The last gallon she got had almost a quart of cream on it.
OK please tell me how to make cheese after! And what is it called fresh from the jar the way you eating it? Thank you! You are great!
Thank you for wonderful videos. - Enzymes are made of protein molecules. They do not survive passage through the stomach, where a pH 2 denatures protein, so that pepsin (an enzyme that can last a short time at this acid pH) can break the long protein molecules into shorter pieces, which will then be broken down further at alkaline pH in the small intestine by different enzymes. Amylase, which breaks down starches, starts working in the mouth already. In fact, our bodies produce it there themselves. Further digestion happens in the gut by our own enzymes.
Good morning brother! Nate @gardenlikeaviking I have a question or few for you, please!?! I started my rice wash with well agitated hot RO water & white basmati rice on the 3/20/24. On 3/25 it smelled slightly cheese-ish but had no film on the top, which threw me off a bit. It’s been on the top shelf in the pantry, definitely out of direct light but the house is kept around 69F. It’s now 3/28 & there’s a little film on top & the cheese smell is more profound & I actually like the smell too, lol!
• Question #1 : is there an ideal temperature for the rice wash water to do itz thing at??
• Question #2 : Is it best to let my gallon of organic whole milk to sit out to get to room temp B4 mixing it with the rice wash water or does that even matter??
• Question #3 : Can the farmhouse cheese pressed water be added to the LABS or is it to be discarded??
I’d really appreciate some help on these things if possible please! I’ve rewatched both of your videos on this several times & yet here I am… Much love & many thanks to you Nate @gardenlikeaviking , I’m soo grateful for you my friend 🙏🏻❤️
Bro great idea. I’m just going to try using the fermented rice water diluted added with other fertilizers to water my plants, easier. Ever tried that? Can’t hurt.
U have lots of good information on your videos 🇳🇿
Have you tried this on skin? Know any women using this for yeast infections? This even seems like it would be good for itchy scalp and eczema…? Can you drink the liquid as a probiotic? Any info on these things?
I want to add some LABS to my hydroponics tank (20gal) to help with my indoor growing. Would you dilute it further, or keep the same rate? Thanks!!
Epic!!! This come very much appreciated and needed!
Would there be any downside in just using either the whey from normal cheesemaking where I was using a mesophilic starter culture (I would not do this with any mold culture cheese) I have actually used whey as fertilizer before but is it the same as your "LABS"? - OR - Lactobacillus I grow using grain to kettle sour a beer? I'm assuming these would be the same thing and I can just coordinate making the extra lacto with hobbies I already do.
Dear Nate, you can buy the probiotic portions for ingesting for health. Could you short circuit and add one of them to the raw milk.
Hi Nate,
I appreciate your sharing your knowledge on this topic and wonder if one can make LABs from cow colostrum milk and from human colostrum milk too.
yes it can be done in both cases so long as the milk is raw it will separate appropriately
Where I live in Mexico I can only get raw milk sold frozen from a local natural foods store. Will that still work?
Me you have so much information. I bet you forgot more than I ever knew. Lol. Thanks for another great video.
Can you tell us what those counter top composters use to turn food scraps in to compost in ( 24 hours, I think it is). Is it lactose bacillus and or mycorrhizae fungi……or?
This is an off-topic post, but maybe you have some advice. I haven't really been on top of fertilizing the first set of plants I was growing, and I have some jalapenos that are pretty tiny, like half inch big and not really growing, and the plant is about a foot or more. It at first seemed to not have much light, but it's grown out to be able to get more now. I put a layer of potassium sulfate I had, as well as used some fish hydrolysate and some fermented orange juice, and some of this animal bone/etc fertilizer that I created from chicken bones and meat scraps, but I also simmered it a bit, like making a stock, which I figured would be better by releasing the nutrients quicker, so I hope that helps out. I did try fertilizing it with some of this stuff a week or 2 ago and there wasn't much growth, but it's possible that since my sprayer was clogging and i had to dump it, that maybe it wasn't absorbed properly, especially with all the peat moss I have in this bed.
It makes me wonder if creating a stock/broth/etc, and using that for your plants, would be beneficial... Or would you think that would be a bad idea as it's heating and thus possibly destroying and creating a "Dead product" that the microbes cannot feed on... Which to me wouldn't really make sense as broths, stocks, soups have been touted/used as a cure for sickness for a long time, and seem to actually enhance microbial activity in the gut/immune-system in order to help heal the body faster.
Thank you for everything!
Hi Alvin
I have heard that citrus ferments should only be used on other citrus plants.
@@cecilycronin6243Hmm... I'll look into that, thanks. I also have some tomatos that have been sitting in a jar for about a year. I'm not really sure if i added any whey/labs to either of these to start the whole fermentation process, but i will have to add some.
Oglądając odcinek nie bardzo zrozumiałam wszystko, ponieważ nie znam angielskiego a pośród napisów nie ma polskiego, czy mógłbyś włączyć napisy po polsku. Ja robię sery, gdzie na skutek ciepła mleko samo się z siada, następnie podgrzewam do 40 stopni i wtrąca się serwatka, czy jest ona o takiej samej wartości dla gleby co powstała na bazie wody ryżowej. Pozdrawiam
Would Kefir be even more effective?
How often should I feed lactic to my plants? I'm loving your videos keep em coming
I used the water from my gluten free spaghetti to make it. Did not smell as nice as the rice water but worked just as well.
Thanks for all your hard work
When I think, there may be Nate's video. After I open UA-cam app, I got your video. This was happened more times. Thanks nate. How to make butter milk. In India they apply sour butter milk in the period of flowering.
I always wanted to know if i can use LABS to make a new batch. Thank you
Hope all is well 😊 I've been crazy busy and quiet but I still catch your videos.
good to see you here my friend and yes life is thriving!!
I like to drink raw milk, but store-bought milk with the rice-wash water is faster and seems more efficient for me.
I use rice water with fresh milk. Works well.
Hi. I am curious to ask what’s the different effect between JMS and Labs. They both are beneficial microbes. Do both have different purpose. Thank you. Love your channel
great question and they are very different indeed... but too much for me to explain here so I'll probably make a "shorts" video about it... thank you!
I'm currently testing 2 jars, one with raw milk and rice wash water at 1:10 and the other raw milk only. It's been 7 days since adding rice wash water to the first jar and the second jar (raw milk only) seems to be further along. Is it normal for the rice wash method to be taking this long? There's a bit of curd on the surface but no clear separation yet
well there's absolutely no reason to add the rice wash to the raw milk because it already contains everything the process needs naturally... the reason we add the rice wash (only once it turns) is to inoculate the store bought milk with strong strains of lactobacilli so it doesn't spoil before fermenting because its been pasteurized and is therefor a microbial dead product... so really you've just diluted the raw milk with water and introduced foreign matter but I applaud your desire to experiment my friend keep it up!!!!
I have a routine of making LABS and also use it to ferment my chicken feed
They look at me crazy if i try to feed them dry food now
Nate, hey there, friend!
QUESTION: Can this be used VERY STRONG now while the garden beds are resting for the winter? I just finished a gallon of milk and we have SO MUCH!
Thanks, Nate!
while there's no plants in the ground yes you can add it strait if need be... but thats kind of a waste at this point... best to dilute and add to the compost pile and spray all over everything in the whole garden
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you so much, dear friend! 🙏🏼
How do you make it last longer with brown sugar?
how do you get rid of the yellow leaf virus, the ingredients are made
You just remined me. Thanks. Some of my cucumber leaves are turning yellow so bad they are getting brown spots. This is 1/2 way up the vine. Nitrogen deficiency maybe. I'll be collecting my urine. Haven't had a vaccine in over 50 years and off all meds I no longer believe in for about 4 years.
I must have written something true because my comment is gone
Have you made rejuvelac for the milk and then a kefir type substance?
You answered my previous question at the end of the video thx
Thank you my friend!
Love the videos q is con you use raw goats milk and achieve same results
yes goats milk will work just the same here
powdery mildew and potato blight can be protected by store bought milk that has gone off and diluted with some water. thats how it was done in Ireland before they invented commercial bluestone sprays which was outlawed in Ireland a few years ago but milk works great and the scientists still have no clue as to why but they know it works
I'm ding this right now I'm on week 2 with the raw milk and it still hasn't curd yet the temperature is between 80F to 85F
Excellent !! thank you my friend
Wonderful as usual!
Nate…My LAB it looks great. Thanks to your instruction. The cheesy bit is quite hard . Is this normal?
Yes, that is OK because if you are using raw milk, the results can vary dramatically from batch to batch because it is a living food…
Hi Nate great video as always
Would LAB help compost piles or piles of leaves & grass to break down quicker?
absolutely yes much quicker... also add some source of nitrogen like the urine or the "weeds" fertilizer
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks Nate! I am doing something similar to what I have seen on your channel. I am reclaiming a bit of my property by spreading yard waste (leaves, weeds, grass etc.) about 12-18" thick across a 60ftx25ft section. I can't burn like you do but I want to get this ground ready for Spring 2025 (probably fruit trees). I was thinking about alternating LAB with JMS many times throughout this year. I'll add a nitrogen source to this mix as you recommend.
Can LABs be used in Hydroponic Fertigation? How?
Nate, amazing information. If there is any mold at all, throw away?
if mold then you can still use the liquid just don't eat or drink any of it... but its still fine for the plants or compost activator
Do you know anyone doing the no smell living floor animal pens in indiana?pigs ,chickens,hoarses,cows?
What about sheep milk is that good?
Would adding rice wash have any benefits to the raw milk?
no need for it and no benefit because the Raw milk already has all the ideal strains of bacteria inside of it...
Hi Nate, thank you for quality content! One thing i don’t quite understand is: when do we apply JMS and when LABS? Are they to be used during the same watering once weekly or should we use them interchangeably? If anyone knows please let me know, cheers!
In my understanding JMS has to be applied 3 to 4 times before starting of season (before you put seed or plants in soil). LAB is used while plants are growing.
Look into this - I think I heard Nate say this... one way to use LABS is to apply it straight a few times several weeks B4 planting. This is to help prepare soil.
Can I use it on farm land to improve soil quality?
yes definitely!
Did he mention how much serum to use for the plants??
Looking forward to the compost tea video.
So cool to know! Many thanks.
I know this may sound silly but would there be any advantage to using the fermented rice water with the raw milk?
no there's no need for it because the raw milk is already bursting with life!
I volunteer at a horse farm that also has goats so my question is, can I use raw goat milk and get as good results? I've been doing the rice water/whole milk method with great success though but I'm making way too much that way 😑
yes raw goat milk will do a very similar process but with much less solids due to a lower fat content... just take however much you have and let it sit just like in this video and use the liquid... it doesn't make very good cheese IMHE but let me know if it does for you!
It looks and sounds so much like keifer ? Is it different?
Brilliant video
Sir, Can we propagate LABs in milk from lactic bacillus tablets available from medical store?
so if it last only 4 weeks basically mean need to use it every 4 weeks in the garden?
aside from my thought of reaching out to some Amish... is there another access point to acquire raw milk { I am also in search for not only LABS, yet for the natural form of Colostrum quality / timing of the raw milk} any thought / ideas?
