🌟NAR EMAIL LIST (My Exclusive Farming Tips) - bit.ly/2PO0ZTf
Hey brother!!! I love all your videos... Following you from Argentina!!! Thankx
Would love to see the lifecycle of this pile including when you add it to raised beds or what ever you have planned. Keep the content coming bro, you’re an inspiration.
Seems like everyone wants an update on this pile as it goes through the process. Please let me know what you want to learn about and I'll put it in the next compost video!
Thanks for the great content Steven - from my understanding the visible hyphae you can see in leaf mold are of ecto species, and that endo hyphae is invisible to the naked eye. What I haven't been able to find online is if there is still endomycorrhizae present in leaf mold. Of course ecto strains are still beneficial to have in the garden, especially if using wood chip mulch or if growing perennial trees or shrubs, but I believe only the endo species colonize and support vegetable growth. Do you utilize any commercial endo inoculants in the garden? Also, are you concerned about the acidifying effects of the bokashi and FPJ in your finished compost? I understand compost is generally calcium deficient, which I see you adding in a couple forms - do you do this more to balance the pH or just to add available calcium? Thanks again!
Can you go more into depth on knf and where to start thanks rock lee the farmer 💪
I would like to see how the Bokashi method worked on the rabbit carcass. That may be a tough request, trying to find it in all of that, but I'm curious as to how fast meat and bones break down in that method, and also as it is combined with hot composting.
@@joelholt7345 meat breaks down fast the fur and bones take much longer. The larger bones especially
I’m definitely interested in seeing how you apply all of this once it is all said & done, I know the importance of great compost but am constantly surprised by the myriad was it can be utilized.
Thank you so much for introducing me to JADAM!! When you were on your urban farm you mentioned making your own inputs for gardening and I knew I had to get my hands on those books! Since then I passed the word on about JADAM to our community garden and now the coordinator is traveling to Hawaii to attend a class on the KNF farm!! I couldn’t afford to go with her but I’m perfectly fine making the inputs without the class. I’m so happy that our community will be able to eat fresh, organic food next year with no chemicals!! I’m currently transforming my backyard garden into Curtis Stone/JADAM methods!! Two wonderful gifts to this world!! ❤️
Yes I’d love to see the evolution of this compost pile. I’m planning on making some LAB in the spring and I want to add that to my compost pile...
I am very much interested in seeing an update on your compost pile.
I am 63 and learning so much. Thank you!
What a gift you are in to the garden community
Yes please show us the breakdown process!
Thanks I’m an 79 yr old first time gardener due to COVID 19 and my first garden was successful. I don’t use any herbicides or pesticides and actually have embraced all creatures who want to inhabit my garden. An arborist friend has dropped a dozen loads of mulch which I have used to cover all my 22 or so multiple gardens of various sizes. I’ve also covered my aug 22 planting of lettuces brasicas and radishes under 6 aluminum screen doors bolted on edges , which I’m still harvesting.
Planning now for 2021 and I’ve made 8 4x4x4 compost and leaf mould bins. I’ve also setup 2 compost tea bins and inoculated my gardens but BOKASHI will be central along with mineral dust which was my only additive. Oh I used one aspirin spray.
Thank you and the many other gardeners who after 100s of hours have influenced how I garden.

We add azomite to all compost piles. We add Leaf mold or mycorrhizal fungi to every compost pile. We also boil rice until it is soft then we put it in a stocking and bury it in the woods for about 2 weeks and the local fungi will grow on it and then we spread it in our garden. Great video.
I like the stocking idea for IMO. Does any material of stocking work or is there a particular kind you use?
@@marisap09 Any kind of women's stocking works. I buy them at yard sales for .10 and a quarter all the time. I get some funny looks a long haired man buying stockings :) I have tried to explain why I am buying them but sometimes it just makes it worse. lol
@@HippieHillHomestead 😂🤣 the things we do for our garden!
@@marisap09 I know it is addicting.
Definitely want to see an update.
Hey from SD brother. I am CTP consultant in training and a soil food web school graduate. You can improve your compost by becoming a bit more precise in your recipes. We typically use 5 gallon buckets to measure out ingredients, I use 12 gallon because I am big and strong.😜. I know you are aware of the correct ratio 10 percent high nitrogen, 30 greens, 60 browns. If you treat the process like cooking a dish or even more precise like baking a cake you will optimize your results. I am super jealous of all those great inputs you have at your disposal. This pile is most likely lacking sufficient high nitrogen, but your bokashi should help. Thanks for all you do bro
Wow lots of work, more power to you and your efforts. I think the most beneficial thing you did is bringing in the forest biology into the compost pile. Integrating so many methods seems more complicated than it really needs to be. Personally I use my chickens, my yard and woods around my house to fuel my compost piles to feed my garden but to each his own! Nice video!
From what I understand, with JMS, you should allow the mix of water, sea salt, leaf mold and starch, (50 gal water, 1/3cup sea salt, 1lb leaf mold, 2 lb's cooked potato, rice, etc...) ferment to its maximum bloom, 2 to 5 days depending on temp, until mass bubbles are formed with very large bubbles included, before pouring the local microbe solution onto your compost or soil. On the soil, being the preferred method, multiple times, every few days to soften the soil and greatly increase the number of local adapted microbes, allowing the roots of seeds or transplants to penitrate much deeper and wider, which are planted a week after the last application of JMS.
Yep, I was just adding the minerals via salt using his concentration for JMS as a guide.
I'd like to see an update on the pile but if you can't do it it's cool. This is a very informative, detailed video. Good to see you back doing these kinds of videos. What's weird is 20 years ago I started bringing soil from the nearby woods into my gardens and I didn't even know about Korean natural farming until your first video on it. Take care, keep your powder dry and Live Free or Die Brother.
Yes, please keep us updated on this compost pile. I'd like to see how long before it can be used.
Awesome video brother. Loving seeing your progress at the homestead. Can't wait to see what you have in store.
My friend's mom used rabbit food to fertilize her garden (40yrs ago). I haven't looked into the ingredients, but it did make her garden pretty lush.
would love to see updates to this process, Thanks
I live in Korea part of the year. I get to help on Korean farms. When I come back to Ohio I take what I learn and apply it here.
That’s awesome! Did you find the farms in Korea from WWOOF? I’ve wanted to do something similar.
@@marisap09 No, I have a friend in Seoul where her family has a huge farm in the country. It was amazing
Would love an update on this pile you've made 😊
Any update videos would be great!
An update would be great! Compost is one of the things I need to be better at.
Yes, I’d love to see the update! Your videos have been very helpful. I’m fascinated about regenerative farming, especially.
Awesome Videos man! Cool to see we moved to the same state! My wife and i are setting up our homestead in east Tennessee. Its amazing how much beautiful land is available out here!
Great video, would love to watch a follow up on the progress and final product
Absolutely show us the entire process in detail once more. Now this is an upgrade from where you used to live. You have a lovely new place, congratulations. Your compost here is a "super compost" creating "super soil". You ever thought about getting into worm farming and hence producing your own worm castings and worms for no-till farming?
Thanks for this video, very helpful. My first year of composting (this summer) wasn't the most successful so I'm realizing I have a lot to learn. I just ordered some bokashi using your code! Can't wait to get started.
Informasi yang menarik dan bermanfaat untuk kita semua
Please show it when you turn this pile and any updates you do. Love to watch your channel.
Awesome vid - I love to see the KNF and Bakashi stuff. Would be awesome if you make more vids about the IMO process, a Johnson Su bioreactor, or Jadam. Did I mention I love the composting stuff?!
I will for sure be doing those topics this season!
I used nothing but rabbit manure this spring and, by leaps and bounds, had the absolute best garden yet. I bet composted rabbit manure is going to be bonkers. This will be exciting to see!
'Deer droppings......extra goodies". LOL!!
I'd like more information on the bottles of the ammendments you made yourself. I thought in the video you mentioned you'd add links.
thanks for the information, you provide a great amount of detail. really helps to understand what you are doing.
Thanks!
Not only looking forward to your update on the compost pile - wanted to know 1. if you ever check the pH value of the compost and how to test it? 2. How could a person adjust the pH?
I never check PH microbes always balance it all out but you can buy pH meters online.
Easy to undetstand. Thank you for sharing
Yes please update on the pile
Happy World Soil Day Stephen from Down Under! I can't wait to see how you will celebrate. I have been binge watching your channel for awhile now and am hoping you can do another collaboration video with your Mom or an update on her garden since you were last there together. Cheers!
Best info ever!!! One question. Since you used Bokashi why didn’t you tarp the pile? Beginner here.
It's in a covered barn so no need to protect from elements. Once adding the bokashi to a pile we are keeping aerobic we keep it in an aerobic state.
Please show updates to your compost pile. Thank you
Amazing knowledge, amazing video. How long did this whole process take you in real time?
Is it better to add leaf mold after the pile has cooled down?
I'd really appreciate if you do updates on this pile.
Yes. Please update.
Yes I agree-show is the progression. Love your channel.
It's a sad day when a gardening channel has to worry about UA-cam censoring them!
Thanks for the content 🙏
Thanks for vid. Your homestead looks likes a lot of work but rewarding and fun
HI, Bokashi is an anerobic fermentation process so why would you add the grains to an aerobic composting pile?
Hey bud great video! Was just wondering if you drain the bokashi juice at the bottom of the bucket? I didn't see any spigot.
Love the non traditional compost method. I compost several different ways every year, FoMO ... For my compost tea I have been aging compost for a year with a small amount of worms in a trash can. Cheers
Please keep us updated on the pile!
Love the JADAM methods too 😊 hope more people turn to these natural methods
Thanks for sharing
Great video yes an update of the progress would be great...also if you can add in what your doing with all your scraps now...is the another compost pile started while this one is breaking down or do you just keep adding to this one?...cheers mate ✌
Yes ‼️ show a compost update 😊
Thank you
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How do you keep your back healthy doing all that work? Do you exercise?
Heck yeah,an update or two (or three) on this pile would be awesome!
I’m all in on using finished bokashi in thermal composting.
So much faster heat-up,it almost feels like cheating👍 An other perk I found is that the fermentation makes bones and other tougher materials break down waaaay quicker.
I really like your «2-d layering- tek» here,seems like a very efficient way to build a pretty lagre pile by hand.
Totally agree!
That's interesting, looks like a lot of carbon. Thanks for updating the video in the comments I'd like to see more
I've been wanting to get some rain barrels to use for all my farming needs. And it's free!
Great video! I would like to see the evolution of your pile. Thanks
Yes a followup would be great.
Do you have a way to check the bedding for persistent herbicide contaminants? I've been avoiding straw/hay materials for this reason and am curious for your thoughts on the matter.
Only way is to send off to a lab or to test the compost out on plants and see what happens. I've never had a problem with it in the past, find a good source and stick with it.
That'll be some nice compost in the end. We use rabbit and chicken manure and leaf/wood chip bedding for compost piles. Its makes a potent amendment. I am wondering if you are a little low on the carbon in that pile. Its always hard to tell by eye... It will definitely heat up easily but might sit at 160-165F for a while which will gas off a lot.
I recently made some LAB and I’m looking for ways to use it. Thanks!
is the floor of that barn stall concrete or is it a natural floor? is the floor relevant to success?
yes pls, breakdown process.
Love your channel is there a difference between jadam, bokashi and compost tea?
Thanks, all different techniques for different reasons all focused on soil health and biology
Could you use JMS on compost to help with water dispersion?
Is the pile sitting directly on the ground or is it on a tarp? Would love to see the progress of the pile.
Directly on the soil, that's important to allow microbes or in the future when the pile cools down worms could get in.
Next level info here thanks for the upload you earned a new sub with this video!
this is aweseome. yes show us the rest of the process.
What about stickers?? Will it break them down as well???
Yes, please update
Awesome pile! Please keep us updated 💙✌
How do I use chicken manure for my garden or for a compost pile?
How long does it take to make compost? 4 months for all?
Of course we want to see some updates
Great video. I would definitely be interested in updates to this! I really wanna try making some KNF inputs. Do you have any recommendations for the best one to start with?
FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice), LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria), WCA (Water soluble calcium), IMO1-2 Are all the ones I think someone new to knf should start with. FPJ is the easiest of them all.
LAB is the funnest, OHN will take the longest. FPJ is the easiest like stevo said. You gotta build a cedar box for IMO and fill it will half cooked rice and find some mycelium networking somewhere and a couple more things. Chris trump has the best videos on youtube. I e been using it in my garden on my ganja and they look great. Aloha
Fantastic video! How did it turn out.
Here's part 2 - ua-cam.com/video/J2SRCjDa-Ak/v-deo.html
Everything is looking great on your homestead! Do you have a workshop with wood heat ?
I wish! I need to get some sort of wood stove going.
I am very curious how long this will take to break down. Exactly what kind of grass is that hay? Do you add the microbes every time you turn it?
Great info, Thank you, taking notes.
Need to see an update! There's nothing on this topic of this quality on UA-cam
Yes please would love to see more detail also tractor would make turning it easy😁
Love the chanel man you're really living your best life. I've heard people say you should turn your compost often and people that say the opposite. Your thoughts??
More often will help the pile breakdown faster, but it's also more work, give and take. I like turning a lot more while it's hot then once the fuel source burns out and temps drop to around 100F let it sit.
@Nature's Always Right, If you add bokashi grain to your compost pile and then save some finished compost and use that compost in your next pile as an inoculant, do you think that would add enough of the bokashi microorganisms to not have to add more bokashi grain in the future to get a similar or same effect? Would bokashi microorganisms die off in finished compost or would they go dormant?
As an aside, am curious about temperatures as well as my region gets to -35 celsius or even -40 in the dead of winter, so wondering if bokashi could survive that. Thanks
The ones that will do anaerobic fermentation well will mostly die off. I've tried making bokashi buckets with forest soil and compost and neither work as well as bokashi grain. Bokashi microbes are much more suited to doing a lot of work in the anaerobic environment.
Please update us on the results. I am thinking that for a homestead this could make it possible for smaller less desirable locations to be used to thrive. Thank you, bless you both and you have in my opinion the perfect dog, God sent I believe.
question how do you feel about using Straw that has been sprayed. I've check over 30 stores and there is no organic Straw
try to live without it...
I've used non organic straw for years and didn't have any issues. If there is herbicide residue you will see signs of it in your plants when you use the compost. Wish I could give better advice just try to find the best carbon source you can.
My two piles are a couple weeks old. The temp got above 130 then fell to under 120 so i turned them. The leaves/ cow stuff still had moisture so i did not add any water. The temp fell to 80 and has been for 3 days. What could have went wrong and how can i go about getting the temp back up
The piles started in 3x3x3 cube.
You look exactly like your mom! Also I would love to see more about composting and an update on the compost pile.
Dr Elaine Ingham told us there were 2 types of composts. One is for regular gardens and is microbial dominant. The other is Fungal dominant and is for pasture for grazing animals and also for berries.
Most soil, especially garden soil is already microbially dominant and needs more fungal, balanced soil is actually best for growing most plants IMO. Many plants we grow have relationships with mycorrhizal fungi and countless others, ones we haven't even discovered yet. Soil is too complex to make definitive statements. Dr Elaine is great but don't take her word as the ultimate truth she isn't right about everything.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight In context she said this in a class where she discussed how she increased the profits of ranchers $170,000 US for each family in the project in Australia. She found 2 brothers who went into the business of making compost. She specifically made a fungal dominant compost for their pasture. She said this same compost would work well bor berries.
ua-cam.com/video/69sR8opXd8w/v-deo.html
So if I put plants that have a high amount of n, p or k in water will I have a someone of a fertilizer to use on plants? Rn I just use fertilizers from stores but making my own would be a lot better I feel
After dilutions and stuff as explained in here I just rememrbr in a pass video you put plants high in nitrogen to give the solution more nitrogen was wondering if I did the same with banana peels would I then have a solution high in potassium to fertilize my plants with. And what could be used for more phosphorus. Thanks a bunch your videos are a big help!
City water has very small amounts of Cl, put in open container and it will dissipate out
I would like to see the end product for sure
If the bokashi compost has anaerobic organisms, why is it still safe to add them to the compost?
Anaerobic isn't bad, think fermented foods/drinks, your gut biom. The soil itself has mostly anaerobic or crossover microbes. We have to get away from thinking they are all bad. The bokashi microbes are dominant in latcobassilus they out compete anything "Bad" then it goes through a theromophilic process which kills any possible pathogen.
Yes please show us an update!!!
Steven- Thank you for this video. Do you have any plans to experiment with the Johnson-Su Bioreactor model of composting? I truly need to get serious about compost and remineralizing my soil as I've had many plant/pest problems that are due to mineral issues. However, I'm definitely limited with time leading up to my third growing season with a new baby.
Great! Thanks for all your knowledge!
Dog just won’t quit. Good info
