72 year old guy with just a garden but i've been watching you since your start - i find this so interesting - Also my wife is from up by you in Stratton and I was able to talk to her father who was born in 1903 and farmed all his life. Started with mules and horses all the way thru tractors - quit farming in his mid 80's. Living history book. Thanks for taking us along on your ride.

Really like this operation. Hope it spread world wide. I do have a couple questions. They referred to the Bio stimulant. Could you explain that a little more, the process and what it is? Also is it possible to do a clip on some microscope analysis showing examples of the food source on its own versus after ramp up with stimulant, plus a sample of the extract prior to stimulant and after? It would be really neat to see the difference in those and what that product going onto the fields looks like. I am trying to start up a business for edible landscape/food forest and have doing research on living soils. I have been watching Dr Elaine's soil food web channel. That is when I came across your channel. This is all very interesting and encouraging information. Thanks for sharing.

I’m confused on how we can make a tea which would definitely be an anaerobic environment when that goes against everything I’ve ever heard about making good compost which needs to be aerobic. How do the microorganisms survive in a water saturated environment? Also, can’t you destroy much of the microorganisms with a centrifugal pump? Was wondering if a diaphragm pump would be less harmful??
@youngredangus6041 Жыл бұрын
When you make a tea you are constantly giving it oxogen and that keep the fungi alive. You then have 24 our to get it put out before it goes anaerobic You will kill a lot of the biology but a ton of it survives

@@mbailey12341 Its all about efficiency. The more boxes you check, the more organisms you will have. Having non chlorinated pond\well\bottled ain water will be a massive improvement. Diaphragm pump and less than 12 PSI of pressure is what Dr Elaine talks about. Aerobic organisms survive well in water which has air running through it. This technology has been used for the past decade with incredible results, so it has already proven itself on many hundreds of thousands of hectares of land all around the world:)

great that companies are looking at liquid compost tea, but the problem I see from this is....the end product is not made from the materials on or near the property where it is to be used, and we know most if not all major farming is done outdoors at ambient temperature so the compost should be made at the ambient temperature of the fields where it will be used so the bio- nutrients should be grown at temperature of local area. And as a matter of nature, the natural compost is not made of other plants but from the fallen decomposed material of the plants themselves..To make an effective compost for corn, corn plant residue should be used to make that compost...same for wheat, rye, tomatoes...any crop you are trying to grow...still seeing farmers using a crop rotation method (does mother nature rotate the fields where plants grow?)...meaning that the plants have learned to extract the nutrients needed from that spot and the liquid compost you add that is made from them plants is putting the necessary nutrients back in and the plants are feeding on that....just a thought...

How much does it cost to get it. We would put it in with our planters we are in upper middle PA we farm 1500 acres and we have really hilly ground but we have not used tilling for over 20 years we have been no till. This is something that we would use in our planters instead of chemical fertilizer because it would damage the planter and it is going to be less expensive than buying nitrogen.we just sold out dairy cows and we are switching over to crop and beef so we are really busy and we don't have much help because we are a family farm so it would be more efficient to buy than make this stuff we are trying to get out corn harvested as well even with 95 day corn we still don't have long enough growing season and we don't have bins up I would love to see what this does to our soil everyone gets around 100 bushels to the acre around herei think we could get 150-200 with this stuff I am only 14 I am hoping that I can convince my dad and uncle to do this on our farm we would probably do a few acres this coming season thanks for sharing this research 👍👍👍

Use a diaphragm pump, these pumps are the least destructive to the biology, and 12 PSI or less of pressure (then clean your tanks asap, can use vinegar and water with a scrubber).

Its all about efficiency and workload, you can, but it will take a heck of a lot of time/effort to be running around putting this rich compost on the plants. Its much easier with a truck and nozzle to spray your large area. The best results come from pre-soaking seeds, then applying tea directly into the hole close to the roots. Foliar spraying has the least effect if done alone. The biggest effects are biology as close to roots as possible, so apply into the hole during planting with pre-soaked seeds (soaked in the tea or simply dipped into the tea).
