This is rather strange organic grouing experiment - not using mulch. Without mulch it could not provide added with extract soil biology sustaining conditions

No. Not at all. He has large scale farming equip he needs to run. All the filtering prevents clogging for in furrow spraying.

Please show us your overwinter set-up on the totes. Water, heat, insulation etc... Your end product is some of the best I've seen come out of a JS in terms of putty/clay like material...which tells me the worms are working (some) rather than dying overwinter. Congrats on getting it right!
@flatsville9343Ай бұрын
If you're in WI, how are you keeping the JS bioreactors from freezing over winter & going hydrophobic? Or are you? Are yoy adding red wigglers per spec after the pile cools down? (Worm death begins about 40F.) How are you keeping the worms alive?

May i ask about the your filters! how many micron are they?
@glassbackdiy39493 ай бұрын
Really interesting results, thanks for sharing. Something I noted during a podcast talking to the vermi-tea guy from Rodale, was DNA analysis compared between vermi-compost tea and the same source compost as an extract, the extract had orders of magnitude greater bacterial diversity than the tea, it seems tea brewing just boosts specific groups at the expense of others. I started brewing AACT in 2011, I've switched to extract (with added food for in furrow application) for the last 2 yrs since seeing the DNA data. Throwing some compost in a bucket and mixing it up with a paint stirrer for 60 seconds is way simpler and less labour intensive than brewing tea with microscopic analysis to check it's going well!

did the control have fertilizer applied?
@JordanLOL2 ай бұрын
My exact thought I'd assume the control would just be water. So this experiment essentially tests, nutrients vs water. If you want to test the "microbes" , you should have 5 plots. 1 water 1 compost tea 1 compost extract 1 compost tea (from above, but the sterilized to kill bacteria) 1 compost extract (but then made sterile) This same experiment was done with KNF IMO4. While IMO4 was better than no IMO4, they also sterilized the IMO4 in another plot and saw no difference between IMO4 and sterile IMO4. "Science"

Why no mulch? If a hot climate/season mulch is a no brainer

But what was the biology in at the begining,how many bacteria and fungi ratio doing Johnson su compost need time and attention need to make slosebfollow up of the biology,need see what was raw material need to review all details need soil biology analysis before applying the extract and after the extract,how seed have been inoculated you need to add mychorriza fungi family and the5e is probably not in the extract and also start yiu compost with en1 and imo,once you have a good compost use the extract to start the next batch of compost so over time you will produce stronger abd stronger biology.what you explain is good but it just indicate biology and fungi to bacteria ratio is not good and what cover crop are you using?

I've been experimenting with static piles in zone 9B with low humidity and daily afternoon breeze up to 14 mph. I use fall leaves for insulation. To keep moisture consistent, I need about 50% more leaves on the upwind side of the pile. Currently I'm using 8 inches minimum and 12 inches on the upwind side. My piles are round, so the sides end up about 10 inches. I build the pile then surround it with cylinder made from chicken wire. I use 4 cheap-o U posts to keep them stable while filling. They are self supporting after the leaves settle. I recommend making the wire cylinder 12 inches taller than the pile. Else you will need to add leaves very frequently until things settle down. Next I will be experimenting with a cardboard fairing on the upwind side. My plan is to wrap it half way around (180 degrees of coverage).

Yes. That’s what he means by bubbling. You need oxygen with teas

I do somthing similar I make my own Johnson su compost I will use two year aged Johnson su compost in furrow I add insect frass and gypsum to the compost for anything that I plant noticed good germination and healthy growth and very good root development when they are established plants I’ll spray a compost tea foliar which is Johnson su compost homade fish hydrolysate insect frass and sea 90 and I add silica in a for of mono silicic acid every two weeks and have noticed that the plants seem to get a huge immune response resistant to powdery mildew,insect pressure, heat stress drought stress

The variable of pest pressure may alter your results. The proper test for ONLY nutrient additives (compost etc) should be done using identical soil containers under grow lights indoors. This video is more like a high school student project.
@organicentourage7 ай бұрын
Without a doubt, we definitely saw numerous ways to improve the trial on the next go-around. Having said this, growing indoors presents its own challenges in terms of unique bacterial and fungal pressures not seen outdoors. In terms of the level of sophistication, it takes real time to learn about identifying protozoa and brewing good tea per experts like Elaine Ingham. We wanted to see what happened in the outdoors but definitely are hearing you on the benefits of an indoor trial. Specific to pests, it's worth noting that we saw an improvement across all five crops even though the onions, lettuce, and beets were not subject to any notable pest pressure. Thanks for your comment.

@organicentourage9 ай бұрын
Thanks. After I posted the video, I was thinking about that. And while the black plastic helped to dry the seeds, it was probably too hot. Also, in Professor Johnson's video of drying coated seeds, he does it under an entryway roof. I always thought that seemed odd, but the idea of staying out of the sun makes perfect sense.
