Thank you very much for the video. It is still very cold here in Toronto, Canada, there is still snow on the ground, but I have been collecting kitchen vegetable and fruit waste in 5 gallon buckets, which are currently frozen outside. In preparation for this last fall I collected brown leaves. In April I will start my compos tea. Well done Tim. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

Excellent tips! I've heard quite a bit recently about soil microbe health as a key factor in making nutrients bioavailable for plants. This seems like a great way to go.

It's all makes sense, doesn't it? The microbes deconstruct the vegetation, die, and become the nutrients needed for the next plants..

From Elaine Ingham's lectures, my understanding of compost tea was that the source of the microbes extracted ought to be from aerobic microbes bred in a static pile compost. I'd certainly of thought the microbes on sea weed being from salt water might not be accustomed to terrestrial soil.

I think you get some methane, just like a bio-power plant, and you can use it to power an engine, which in turn can generate electricity and heat.

Dear Sandra and Tim. 👍👌👏 Brewing some compost tea seems a really nice Idea! 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest something: Maybe a small air pump for pond aeration powered by a small photovoltaic/solar system (as a set usually easy and cheap to get), will be able to help not wasting 230V Energie for the compressor in the future. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health.

Nice set up but the reason your only supposed to use compost is because good Compost has been breaking down and aerated for months which means it contains all the good bacteria fungi nematodes etc. adding that other stuff will risk the likelihood of you getting bad bacteria added in. The air is used to break the glues of these microbes suspending them in liquid you also want to apply immediately and don’t let it sit there without the bubbles or it will go anaerobic creating bad bacteria.

Thanks Tim, for filling in the blanks… Looking forward to the charcoal vid and then maybe we can get down to business 👍🏻 One last request can you reaffirm what the inoculated charcoal will do i.e. is it good for boggy ground rehabilitation… we live on a hill so drainage isn’t a problem but anaerobic soil maybe is as its soggy and definitely not friable.. We have just taken delivery of tons of mushroom mulch and we were thinking the charcoal may also help.. No idea how much we need or if we can fully afford it but thats why we’re here… to find out maybe by a bit of experimentation.. thanks again

@WayOutWestx2 Жыл бұрын

Essentially charcoal is just a honeycomb of microscopic chambers - filled with air and water. That makes a good place for microbes to live, but also helps prevent flooding and drought. The partical size also helps break up heavy clayey soils. And of course it's permanent - the charcoal will still be there in 1000 years. In your case I think it will improve drainage and help keep oxygen down in the soil. Would you like a bag for free to test it?

@pardonwhat Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tim, we are up n Mayo so we might do a run down your end some time over the next few weeks and see the sights of Cork. Thanks for your kind offer but to keep things on an even keel we might be able to do a trade, for an experimental bag or two.. Are you in need of any power tools, I have a few industrial 110v Hitachi grinders or Bossh industrial half sheet sanders so any good to you? I been collecting tools for years and have several duplicates, is there anything in particular you would make use of?

Careful using horse manure for this! - if the hay the horses have been fed comes from fields that have been sprayed with herbicide, it WILL survive the digestive system of the horses and when used as fertilizer it will stunt/kill any broad leaf plants you have. It will also survive this tea process also. You need to be sure the horses your manure came from haven't been fed hay from treated fields - many folks who keep horses buy hay in from somewhere else and this can easily be a problem. Fortunately the chemical will break down if exposed to sunlight so if you inadvertently put some of this on your garden all is not lost. Just let the plot sit fallow for a season and till it regularly to keep the soil exposed to as much sunlight as you can. Cheers.

@WayOutWestx2 Жыл бұрын

why would the hay fields be sprayed while the grass is growing?

@@WayOutWestx2 Typically, at least here in the US, everything is sprayed to control the "weeds". Unless it's labeled organic.
