Man this is amazing! Would appreciate a pros and cons video discussing the entirety as I’m sure many farmers would like to know the same. Composting, extraction, application, and conservation. The pros are common talk and cons not so much. A video putting it all in one place as a collection of all the information would be incredibly valuable and a useful tool to show farmers. Appreciate the knowledge many times! Thanks for the dedication and hard work!

From South africa: will look forward to options for homesteaders. Am building 1 bioreactor every 6 weeks. First one will be ready in December so am looking at options for small scale application. Thx vids. Really practical. Am currently following David Johnsons design on KZfaq for the bioreactors.

I really like your setup! I am doing Bio5 and Fed n Happy this year. Spicing it up with some Advancing Eco Ag products as a food source. I ordered a Bio5 Extractor, but it won't be built until next year so I'll have to make due with my home built tote brewer. What mesh filters or strainers do you run the extract through before pushing it through your in-furrow system? I am having some trouble with plugging up orifices and filters.
@jerryyoung4078 Жыл бұрын
We have a 30 mesh on the extractor and a 30 mesh on the nurse trailer. We have a 50 mesh on the planter. I do have to clean the filters on the trailer and planter quite often. We are running the orange orifices on the planter and haven’t had trouble with them plugging. We’re applying 8 gallons per acre. This is Jay’s father in case you’re wondering

A few very important tips: 1. Use a diaphragm pump if you are spraying large quantities, these pumps are the least destructive to the biology, and 12 PSI (clean your tanks asap, can use vinegar and water with a scrubber) 2. We need to stimulate fungi, because we have too much bacteria already, so the fungi foods are fish hydrolysate (needs to have fish oil), humic acids, chitosan and chitin
@jeffreyarwood64273 ай бұрын
Kelp is also a good fungi food. Question for you what would you recommend for a spraying unit to apply extract as a soil drench at scale and what would be the amount of compost extract gallon ratio per acre?

You got an awesome setup ! Do you ever collect any soil from the woods and add it to compost when you make the extract ? That might have life in it that your compost doesn't . My favorite way to make compost is to let my chickens do it . They make a really nice compost I think . Did you get those pics of the heirloom corn ? Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

Thoughts on the GeoTea extractor? I bought one because I couldn't get my hands on the Bio 5 Extractor and I'm pretty happy with it. My only complaint is that it's hard to stay clean when using it but it is a very simple setup for not much money.

According to Dr Ingham, tea is for quantities, extracts are for diversity. Teas kill a lot of diversity, but ramp up the quantities. If you have the compost, always do extracts.

He doesn't have any biology in the big black tank that is just water storage. The black or stainless tanks are preferable for storing water though over white/blue/green because the lack of light transmission prohibits algea growth.

I use the black tank to keep algae from growing in the fresh water. If you want to store extract I think black ones would be the way to go
