@@cychuzih3029 I'm glad you enjoyed this! You might want to check out the more in-depth version of this when you have a little more time. ua-cam.com/video/YMVYlnQaR0A/v-deo.html
@@PepperGuru Yes. It's so nice to see that what I've been doing and teaching, ever since I made the switch is paying off! The next episode will specifically address this switch to regenerate principles. 🌿
Several years ago we had a lot of nematode issues in our garden. I asked a fella that worked at the local Farmers Co op what he suggested I do .. and he told me to take my wood ashes from the stove and spread them over the garden. That seemed to help a lot. It would be interesting to learn more about what effect the wood ash has on the microscopic level.
Then this other study, which I referenced in the longer version of this video, shows that urea and blackstrap molasses can be effective at controlling root feeders, while increasing the numbers of beneficial nematodes. bit.ly/45OKfRm
@@StacksUrbanHarvestif molasses would be effective in theory would the practice of using fermented plant juices(especially from tomato prunings which I’ve done) and I myself have noticed less root knots. Also I have a short video on my channel where I though what you show is root knot but seeing that it in fact is not and to you a success by your view makes me feel much better about my progress
@@StacksUrbanHarvest😅ofcourse after quickly reviewing my video I do see noticeable small knots beginning to form so maybe I am wrong however I’d definitely like your input on fermented plant juices to feed beneficial microbes for this purpose.
You're welcome! As far as fig trees, there are root feeder resistant varieties that are great as rootstock, like Celeste, and Ficus sycomorus. But yeah, it's great to know that with the right biology, and knowing how to nurture those microbes, it all works! 🌿
Thank you so much. I used to never have RKN but now, susceptible plants suffer. I have only been successful interplanting French marigolds. I will definitely watch the in-depth version. I tried planting mustard but they didn't survive in the summer. I plan to grow a lot of it this winter just to turn in before planting in the Spring.
Along with the in-depth version, I recommend the latest cover crop episode linked here. In it I talk about cover crops that are known to help control RKNs. ua-cam.com/video/tKpgyy7LaVQ/v-deo.html
Wow! Glad i watched this. I was planning on using nemotodes to get rid of other "bugs". It really helps hearing that I live in the exact city you are from.
I'm glad you enjoyed this, and that you're a local! I'm not at all opposed to buying nematodes for specific reasons like that. Years ago I bought some that helped me control grubs, and it did help. Happy gardening! 🌿
@@charlessnowden3578 Either replace that grass with a nematode resistant variety, or look into whether predatory nematodes that you can buy that will eat lance nematodes. But they're not normally marketed as "predatory". Look for "beneficial" nematodes that eat other nematodes.
@@karenessauthor Yes, it does. More specifically, French marigolds. Some other varieties can actually host root knot nematodes. So I've always grown French marigolds in my garden beds.
So not “bad guys” but “good” comes with “balance”. I’m sure “bad nematodes” have a valuable role in the ecosystem but just may not be conducive to fruit production
They can be food for the predatory nematode, but those are so rare. It's an interesting thought. But keep in mind that the root feeders thrive in poor soil, and it becomes a hostile environment for them in soil with a diversity of the "good guys" which make the soil healthy.

As for the impact it may have on microbes, I haven't come across info on that, other than microbes and biochar.
@@StacksUrbanHarvest .. okay .. thanks for the reply!! 🙂

Finally! Thank you! Now all of the Florida Fig growers can see there way past this like a pro.

Then you might be familiar with The Reid Farm in DeLand. My next episode is a food forest tour with Lonny Reid. Great guy!

Thanks for a very informative video !!!

@@StacksUrbanHarvest Thanks. I subscribed and i hope your channel grows.
So interesting. Thank!
@@gregsobel5568 Thanks Greg! 🌿
❤ thx so much
This is so promising
Yes, it was quite unexpected! I'm glad I got the pulling of the roots on video just in case. I'm glad this can be useful to you!
Thank you!! I’ve got the sun hemp growing. Looks like I have some more amending to do. Thank you for giving us hope as well as doing more research.
I'm so glad this helps! Happy gardening! 🌿
I just planted my seeds which we're sun hemp. They sprouted in 2 days! Cover cropping to protect my fruit trees
@@jared1048 Nice! Sunn hemp does really well for me.
I have Lance nematodes in my North Florida lawn.. Do you have advice to get rid of them?
@@charlessnowden3578 Either replace that grass with a nematode resistant variety, or look into whether predatory nematodes that you can buy that will eat lance nematodes. But they're not normally marketed as "predatory". Look for "beneficial" nematodes that eat other nematodes.
Any good books to recommend for identifying whats found in a microscope?
Yes. Regenerative Microscopy, by Matthew Powers
Marigolds in abundance. That helps. 😊
