Hi Chris, first I want to say, thank you for turning us on to Jadam, its wonderful. I only look after a home garden, in my 71st year, female, and so happy to have found you. I hope the help you have shown myself, gets out there to the masses. I am happy you have seen better times in your farm, you deserve it. You work so hard. Changing ways is time consuming, well done to you and your family and staff. Fond regards to you Chris, ps, dont make wishes, but would love to be there in your garden with you all. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia 🤩😍 just made my first jms, I am so excited. Its winter here, so its a bit slower. Thanks
If you guy's want to upset the misses, do what Chris just did with those shells? Or crush the shells while they are still in the bag - use a rolling pin or an empty whisky bottle - no spills - then stick the shells in the oven on a large tray - all parts of the crushed shells will have cooked!
I like you and I love your vibe! Doing this in the garden with the familly around, then grilling sausages on same heat source ...looks like a chunk of heaven from here. Nature and life at it's best. Have a great day and thank you!
Great video, super informative. Has anybody had any experience of a biofilm developing on the surface of the mixture after storage for a few weeks? Thanks again for the video. It's helped a huge amount when we get lots of rain here in the mountains in Brazil and my zucchini decides to get blossom end rot.
Another way to separate the egg shell membrane is to remove it under running water after breaking the eggs. Don't look like it's going to help, but, believe me, it does. Just use any little crack that are still within the skin and then peel everything from the inside.
I raise chickens so I have shells. I also feed them oyster shell supplement. Can I also make this with oyster shells in winter when the birds are not laying?
Hello, chemically speaking, no, all these including Balsamic vinegar all have the same natural chemical product theybare made by bacteria, vinegar. So use any vinegar, he prefers a non purified vinegar obviously, but even white distilled is awesome for these recipes, as chemical makeup (vinegar). Peace.
Hey Chris, would the membrane happen to be water soluble? If so, another option for eliminating the eggshell membrane would be throwing them into some water and letting the membrane mix with the water (i would guess warm water could help). Dump that water out, then heat up the shells after that. Does this sound like something that might work?
Ano ai Chris! What's the difference between WCA and WCAP??? Is it okay to blend the egg shells and bones together in vinegar after cooking them? Blending the two liquids WCA and WCAP together as 1???
Because it can contaminate the solution with bacteria, mainly if you use the water soaking method.. But since the shells are mixed with vinegar, the membrane wont dissolve in vinegar and won't be in the calcium liquid once the liquid has been filtered.
I put eggshells in solar oven for a week, but its not as hot as skillet. May need to use a flame instead. Wonder if similar process can be done to get calcium and minerals from bones. ?..
Hi Chris. Really enjoying all your content. Curious what you would recommend to feed some fruit trees that have been in pots for 7 years? They are in larger pots at this point and I'm unable to repot them due to their weight and I don't have land yet to plant them. One actually fruited last year one fruit. I know I could be taking better care of them but I don't want to do the wrong thing and end up killing it when I've managed to keep them alive this long. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm in a humid tropical environment if that info helps.
Hi Chris I have collected my eggshell and about to give it a try , I have found the FPJ and the lacto ferment very useful in giving my plants a boost, thank you. What is your opinion in using kombucha vinegar?
Sorry, not Chris, but that would work perfectly. Remember though that it's a live vinegar so you may want to crack the lid a little when storing the WCA.
@@ausfoodgarden could I use non organic apple cider vinegar? Does it have to be organic? How do you make Kambucha vinegar. I make my own apple cider vinegar but I really want to use that for me rather than my plants lol
@@engell3707 Yes, any vinegar will work but of course an organic one would be preferred. I make malt vinegar and fruit vinegars from waste (peels/cores etc. or spent grain) which is great for this.
Hey you mentioned that WCA is used "at a rate of 1 to a thousand" . What does that mean? Does that mean I dilute the WCA with rain water, ie 1 WCA: 1000 Rain water? Cheers mate
@@saritis From Lil Giant Thank you so much. I DID NOT KNOW THAT. Sheesh. You have to be a biochemist just to figure out what not to use. Well, at least I have only been using white vinegar to clean for someone who is allergic to just about everything else. Apple Cider vinegar is WAY too expensive to clean with. Hopefully she is not allergic to petroleum. Planning to start a homestead in Florida. Four acres now, maybe 7 later. Was once a small orange orchard twenty years ago. Was thinking of doing organic. But more I investigate the more I realize do not know anything. I hate chemicals. Everything is so expensive. Anyway, thanks.
Yeah, not sure where you got your info about petroleum in vinegar. Maybe they found some in distilled vinegar? There are live vinegars (with the "mother" culture) and distilled vinegars. KNF seems to use brown rice vinegar specifically, but any vinegar with the same acidity should work for WCA. I use white distilled vinegar to clean because it has been distilled and doesn't have a bunch of stuff floating in it. I use Bragg's for most of the stuff I eat. Vinegar seems to be pretty easy to make. There are a lot of good videos about home made vinegar.
I did looked up the process, the alchol can be made with peroleum to start the vinegar making process. Not the vinegar is made from the petroleum, but the alcohol taht is processed by bacteria to make the acid. Technically its not really matters, because alcohol is alcohol, but you may feel its different, (maybe it is just not chemically). Mostly its very unlikely but it was a marketing from Heinz that they do not use petroleum, and thats why some think others do.
It doesn't though, at least not if your PH is 6.8 or up. It takes an acidic environment to break down the eggshells which are in the form of calcium carbonate that isn't bioavailable to plants. Archeologists have found eggs from ducks and chickens and been able to tell the difference, I'd that tells your something about them
hi chris today i will strain 2 jars of wca but all of them i didnt get out all the membrane, one jar i burned the eggshells the other one not, both bubbling the same way but im not sure to use the non burned eggshell cause of the organic matter, but both smells same simply sour vinegar smell. what do u think? can i use both? what happens if the acid-base reaction have membrane?? thanks bro blessings from Madrid Spain✌✌
Because you only want the calcium from the shell, membrane if not burned off it’ll give an awful smell to the solution. That’s why, the way I’ve learned, if you use live vinegar(vinegar that still has the mother) you want to take the vinegar to a boil first, cool it down than add it to browned eggshells.
It should work with pH 3.5-4 because freshly brewed lactic acid bacteria live in such a sour environment. I you feel any double simply add a pinch of wood ash or add more water.
i just did this a couple weeks ago, doesn't cooking the shells till some are burned and others are just browned produce water soluble calcium and phosphorus?
Master Chris, I'm kinda confused on the duration on the vinegar at what extent you would extract it... your vids says 5-10 days but I also heard from others that you let it stay for 30 days before you extract it.. which is which?
I mean making the WCA.. the mixture of vinegar and eggshells would have to on for 5-10 days? I heard some said 30 days.. I'm using cocovinegar by the way.. ok 5-10 days it is.. thank you
so i can i add any egg shells even the one that i boiled when making boiled egg ? and the goal here is to have calcium for my plants right ?? thank you for sharing your experiment
Or rinse the shells when you crack the eggs using your finger to "scrub" the membrane out then crack the shells while they're still in the bag... the omelet flip won't be needed.
The process of dissolving the Calcium raises the pH so the solution isn't as acidic as the original vinegar. Remember too you are using this very diluted.
Hello Mr. Trump or shall i call u Chris if u dont mind...hehehe...by the way may i ask the ratio of application, i mean some measurement how much would be apply to plant?...is it diluted with water?...in what amount will be dilute...tnx....by the way watching from Mahinog, Camiguin of Philippines....
1:1000 I do 1 teaspoon to gal water as foliar once a week. I just wish Chris trump would reply to comments and answers our questions instead of replying " thanks good job "
Does anyone know what the foam at the top is? Should we scrape it off? Will it dissolve, I just started a batch? Chris didnt have any foam at the top of his.
I made some aprox 6 months ago i am wondering how long can this store for? I have it stored in a sealed bottle in the fridge. I am wondering if still good to use on crops? Anyone please help i know Mr. Trump is a busy man.
Hi Chris. Thanks for sharing such valuable information. I have a small question. . . We only have a bone meal available here in the area. . Which I think the bones steamed and crushed. . I had once used this product to make calphos and it bubbled well. . And looked like it was dissolving the phosphate. . .I want to ask u if that is ok to do or should I char the bone meal and then try to make calphos? Thanks much again for sharing. Kiran.
Hi Sal, it worked wonders. I had some crazy blooms after that...Though I was still confused, so i went ahead and charred it and tried it again. I still got a similar effect. So.... :)
Thanks for getting back I made some as well I'm not sure how much phos I got, but definitely calcium in there I baked oyster shell and bone meal with a lil crab meal... Are you using it in soil Koran?
Thought vinegar was used to kill weeds down to the root. I'm new to all this so can you please explain how using this method wont kill primarily my succulent plants?
There is a chemical reaction where the calcium carbonate in the egg shell v combined with the acetate in the vinegar to make calcium acetate and carbon dioxide. There should be no vinegar left.
Don't use this with succulents. This is meant for more nutrient hungry plants like tomatoes or other fruiting plants. Succulents don't require much care. The less you do the better. I have hundreds of succulents thriving. I know this comment is 3 years old, just leaving in case someone else wants to know.
Perfect . I see someone claiming of making WACP from cooked eggshells. I already made WCA from Aragonite sand as in your other video of WCA video Thank you
Eggshells are almost completely calcium carbonate 95%+. Very little phosphorus. 60-70% of dry weight human/cattle bones for example are composed of the bone mineral hydroxyapatite which is mainly calcium and phosphorus.
@@bertpoepoe5 that would be great but he is a very busy man and he is giving us this information for free. You can sign up for his classes and get more information and your questions answered.
Chessie its diluted to the point where the herbicidal effects are not present. Vinegar kills by rapidly acidifying the leaf surface and dissolving the waxy cuticle of the plant, which predisposes the plant to solar damage and abiotic pressures. This diluted, it does not have a chance to enact this process

Thanks again for the video. It's helped a huge amount when we get lots of rain here in the mountains in Brazil and my zucchini decides to get blossom end rot.
Ya that can happen if you use a living viniger or don't get off all the membrain. Boil a living viniger before hand to kill biology.

Thank you sir for showing easy to make w. Ca

The Jadam book says you can use oyster shells for JCA.
Thanks for sharing Chris. Love to learn this method of making healthy nutriens...

Would pulverising the eggshells before adding vinegar be better?
We call that way of shaking “tahip” in Filipino. We typically do the process with rice grains.😉

Following. Would make a good experiment
And you are welcome 🦄 😁
@chris trump I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs. Can I use the empty shells and will I still need to cook the shells? Thank you for your help.
what’s the purpose of removing the membrane?
Hi Chris, can we substitue BRV with:
- white rice vinegar, or
- Lacto (b’coz it’s acidic)
- Other organic acidic liquid ???
I think all of that will work.
Because it can contaminate the solution with bacteria, mainly if you use the water soaking method.. But since the shells are mixed with vinegar, the membrane wont dissolve in vinegar and won't be in the calcium liquid once the liquid has been filtered.
Why is the membrane bad? What sources have these answers? I like to know why something works or doesn't work.

Coral sand method is still WCA but much faster. WCAP is from completely charred beef bones or other large animal bones
.
For WCA which vinegar Should I use. BRV or readymade vinegar which is available in Store.Please clarify
Master Chris, I'm kinda confused on the duration on the vinegar at what extent you would extract it... your vids says 5-10 days but I also heard from others that you let it stay for 30 days before you extract it.. which is which?
