![Let's Make Lactic Acid Bacteria [L.A.B]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vgB_5_xKpdo/mqdefault.jpg)
Bacteria brewers NOTE. For the brew I made in THIS video, I used raw sugar because some people have said that it can also be used. (Which I also said in this video), but now my brew has turned to alchohol. It started smelling like vinegar, and a week or so later, started smelling like a bottle of boot leg whiskey. SO...after that I spoke to Ben and he said, "yeah...don´t use brown sugar. The yeasts like it more than the bacteria". It is confusing isn´t it? Also another viewer has noted that most town water these days has not only chlorine, but also chloramine, which DOES NOT disapate after 24 hrs. So I still suggest BLACKSTRAP UNSULPHURED MOLASSES AND CLEAN RAIN; CREEK OR LAKE WATER. COOL AND DARK WITH AN AIRLOCK once your brew is mixed with molasses.
oh, and If you enjoy this content, then you will love my feature film Down the Carrot Hole. It`s the inspiring story of The Weedy Garden from the beginning, in a feature lenght film. Watch it here on Vimeo: vimeo.com/ondemand/downthecarrothole
What about if we use directly fruit instead of molasses? Could that work?
@@findingsolutions198 I don’t think so.
@@TheWeedyGardenthanks, have you consider make your own molasses ? Is It viable ?
@@findingsolutions198 no I have not. I use very little so it would not be viable but sure...it’s doable I guess if you had the sugar cane and a big fire.
Hey, great videos! When you strain the organic matter from whichever, banana, comfrey, chicken sh1t, bucket you use...can you throw that organic matter on the garden or do you throw it away? Thanks!
Every music that you choose just made me feel so many things. Here I feel like crying watching a video on how to make soil bacteria 😭
Ha ha ha :-)
i love how detailled and with how much love you create this videos.
Thanks Sam. I enjoy the film making 🙃 and it’s nice you notice the details 🙏
❤
Most cities and town now use chloramine which is chlorine + ammonia leaving that water overnight won't do much and defiantly won't remove the ammonia. But you can Vitamin C either tablets/powder or few drops from lemon that will instantly neutralize the choramine(chlorine + ammonia)
good advice. Thanks for the heads up (on behalf of the city folk :-)
Excellent point, Jacques !
A $3 10litre box of water seems easier...or rainwater tanks obviously.
@@fishfacecrab I care. Sure others do too. Thanks for sharing this 🙏👍🏼
Thats what I do. Better for the plants
one of my fave channels to relax and enjoy the hang with weedy...... love your style mate, keep it coming
Straight in there! that felt like a long wait. Remember the days when programs on the telly came on once a week and you waited with baited breath? That's what the last few days felt like waiting for ep 6 of twg
Have had a few things to do other than TWG, but I want to try and get a video out once a fortnight from now on :-)
@@TheWeedyGarden good things take time. Each one is worth the wait.
Bury the buckets with their rims above the soil and they will be cooler. Use a couple pallets as a roof, the moving air is cooler than sealed buckets.
Great tip. Thanks
Omg the user name 😂 measure twice cut twice is the full name , maybe?
Carissimo weedy gardener!!! Your videos are such an aglicultural - microbiological - heart poetry... Thanks for all your passion and enthusiasm in sharing wisdom from the Earth... Is very needed in this time for humanity... Big big hug!! 💧🌈🔥
Thanks so much. Nice feedback 🙏🙃
Glad I get regular notifications now for all these great, new video's ! Stellar production--and story telling--as we have come to expect from this channel.
Was eagerly waiting for another video 🙌🏽🙌🏽 love it mate
¡Mil gracias!
APRENDÍ
You just took me to the next level... Feeling so grateful with you for that 🌱
It's interisting how this video answer a bunch of questions that were in my mind after seeing the other videos and trying to aply in I.M.O and E.M cultivation, because even they are diferente things the principles are the same. It's cool to see that we are passing by same kind of problems and questions. Hugs from Brazil and continue doing the vídeos! 🌱
This is such a joy to watch. Incredible education and just as good entertainment.
You’re a blessing, sir.
Your videos are great! Just discovered them, but I love the combination of cinematography, gardening, science and nature! Keep up the amazing work!
I really appreciate your vision and presentation...I always look forward to viewing your videos.
That was brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and explaining how to make a smaller batch. Going to get my brew on during the holiday season 👌
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen. I couldn't find one that shows step by step. Thank you so much
Thank you for the update, I finished my 1st 25 litres of soil bacteria 2 weeks ago so it’s good to know I can store it in the fridge instead of starting from scratch again. Excellent video as usual 👍
i really enjoy your videos weedy....thank you for creating these and sharing the knowledge ...cheers
This is very good. I´m glad that you´ve been able to recreate new soil bacteria - and teach / share with a lot of people your experience. Thank you.
There are many amazing heroes of the world and indeed, you are one of them!
Incredible style!!! You are an expert at putting videos together. The best I’ve seen for my tastes! Love your creative flair. Such a pleasure to watch. Very inspiring. Thank you 🙏 😊❤️
The best video I've seen in a long time. Crystal clear ideas, lovely presentation using sketch and practical examples. Love it mate!!
Nor cal mountain grower here, lotta love an respect to you weedy g. This video was fantastic. Super in depth, informative, easy to pick. Thank you for making vids like these. ❤
Howdy neighbor 💨💨✨
Suggest maybe recess your containers into the ground, should keep the temperature more stable.
Too much work to have to bury and undig the buckets that is not necessary when you can just put them in the shade.
That's brilliant, thank you I've just finished making the brew so perfect timing! and im excited about mixing it with the banana and others. Cheers
This is the BEST video about this I have ever seen! Thank you so much! I have been watching and reading a lot about this and did it haphazardly last year and still had amazing results. Thanks to this, this year it will be even better.
Hand written captions.
Brilliant.
I'm also definitely making me a number of different flavored batches to feed my garden.
Thank you for your time and effort.
I admire you sir for the amazing content you provide for those of us who grow.
Love your vid and especially love your humility, it takes a lot to admit to a mistake and a whole lot more to admit it in public! Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Spreading the love!!
I've seen another video that explained this process very well and simply, but I'm a visual learner so your video just took my understanding of it all to another level I didn't think was possible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This must be the longest video of your channel but i love every detail and the effort you put into it. It's great and that bana smoothie i have tried it myself it's relly good.
Gonna have to watch twice - this first time for the pure joy of watching your artFull presentation, the second to get the information down. thank you on both counts!!
Absolutely.
Omg..... its beautiful where you are that night sky is amazing! Thanks for making this video.
this is my favourite video so far. funny I was asking my self some question in the garden the other day and trying to figure out if the brew was still usable in its royal rankness. you have answerd all my questions. cheers.
Thank you for sharing reflections on mistakes. This is how we learn. Blessings Abound!
Once again a beautiful video also cool to see you on the upcoming Gardening Australia
Watching again cause it's so magical!! Thank you for taking our knowledge skyhigh! The most important little technique. Love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you, watching your videos is always entertaining and educational.
He's back! HOORAY!!
I keep mine in the middle of my banana circle and it has lasted for months with no problems....great video Weedy....thank you...lots of little tweaks that I will adopt! Keep cool!
That's a great idea!
Love your videos . Thanks for producing helpful content ! Looking forward for more . Cheers !
The production value in your videos is awesome, you can tell you love telling a story.
Ooh always excited when you drop a new episode
Please keep your first video though!
I absolutely love it.
I was looking for that too 🙁 I loved it too.
You are SO entertaining....I had some good laughs and because of a few mistakes, I benefit. Thank you for your generous heart.
Fascinating information, I have learned so much 🤗
Yes I was thinking maybe it was a lack of air that turned it anaerobic and the heat. I have quite a few lactose ferment that I have kept in the dark they do not smell bad but when exposed to light a white film has grown on top of it I shall now observe it. When I added a little fermented nettle plant juice to my lactose ferment, and added rain water to water my plants I noticed the difference. Thanks for all the great information
Thanks again Dave for another master piece. I love your content.
I am busy with experiments on 2 beds planted with exact same veg in same conditions however fed differently 1 using bacteria teas and the other inoculated with fungi, Mycelium.
Will share results soon.
Take care mate. Enjoy. Can't wait to watch January's episode. Have a fantastic festive season and keep your eyes on the sky December 21st.
Peace, Love and Respect
Yes. Big day. It is International Eye Contact day that day also. Can’t wait to c ur experiments. Send pix to The Weedy Garden Face Book PM and I’ll share them 👍🏼
I Did this and made a solar-powered panel to a charge controller hooked up to a fishtank air pump its amazing!
Thank you so much for the recepie
This is literally the best quality gardening channel (or any channel for that matter) on CZcams.
That’s affirming. Fffanks mate 👍🏼🦶🏻💪🏻🌏 Just a heads up on it being a “gardening channel”... can’t promise the next episode is going to be a “gardening” video, but the inspiration for it does come from that soil I walk upon every other day 🦶🏻🌏💚🤓👁 but I still hope that you get something from it. It’s for gardeners and none gardeners alike. It might up the numbers of gardeners, but I do think it’s gunna up the LOVE 🌏 🙃 for everyone who participates in the vibe I’m wanting to create/express/achieve/SHARE. 🤞🏼🙉🙈🙊
Ill watch whatever content you put forward. It is so relaxing to me. Thanks for your time in creating these videos. Ill be sure to head over to patreon and support your work.
Hi Weedy thank you for this. This really beats any fertiliser from the store hands down. I've got a big bucket of mother brew which has kept well for 4 months out of the fridge made from dark brown sugar. Smells really good! Half way into making N P K buckets from your fertiliser video. Your videos are works of art that should be played and discussed in all schools! Love from Queensland 🙏❤️
They can. And they do. Lots of teachers and parents are watching with kids. Some kids have even introduced Weedy to their parents and grandparents. It’s nice.
That is so cool.
You're like an artsy Dr Elaine Ingham
I love your videos! So inspiring! Greeting from a brazilian in Chile!
I have not used my brew yet it is in the dark of my shed so this is very useful to me thanks 🙏
Excellent. Parallels could be drawn with the human gut biome. Very informative and relaxing. Thank you for your videos.
Hi Weedy, I made 5 gallons of LABS after watching your first soil bacteria video. That was about a year and half ago. I keep it out of the sun. It smells the same as it did when I first made it, which is a bit like the molasses I used; however, I think it’s developed a SCOBY. There’s a thin, gelatinous layer coving the liquid.
Is that a bad thing? What did you do to remedy that, if so?
Maybe not now maybe in next few years or more you'll surely have millions of views. Inspiration you are ❤️
Great video! Full of knowledge! Thank you very much!
Soooooo good! Thank you!
Great video... Interesting and easy to remember...😇😇😇
Again a great video, with information we can all use.
Congratulations on the producing of this video! It is really different from what we see around. Great sound track! And great content!
Great vid, we all learn by our mistakes.
This channel is awesome, THANKS. You will be at a million subscribers soon
At this rate it should happen around June 2033. 🤣🤣🤣😃🤞🏼
Awesome narrator to his Wonderful Educational knowledge....of experience...the best teacher!!! all the best and a million thanks
Thanks Jesse ☺️
Still can't get enough of this video ❤
Really beautiful films David. Thank you so so much. I am binge watching them like a box set. You can give up your day job!
I made a big bottle of whey and am keeping that in the fridge.
There is a chicken poo bacteria factory going on in the shed. I am going to take my first peek today. Looking forward to add it to the community garden.
Now I am re-watching the video, I see you are saying to keep the molasses brew in your fridge too? I wonder what the inside of your fridge looks like?!
I used my only jar of expensive molasses on the chicken poo. I need to find a better source in London.
Great video! I like to mix my LAB 1:1 with brown sugar but I don't add water. This is so my LAB can store longer in "osmotic pressure" in smaller containers until I need it. Then I put a tiny bit in my watering can and then add water :) thanks for your amazing photography skills and narrative. One of a kind!
How long does it keep like that. Do you get any drop in Bacteria numbers?
thanks for shaaaaaring your talents with us. very well thought out quality
Thank you for all the videos
Korean Natural Farming 2.0, great vid....
I just put rice water and pasta water over my vegetable beds(diluted with rain water) I also put bananas skins and tea bags into rain water and steeped for days, used that as fertilizer also. I got great results! 😁
Wow!! I wouldn’t have thought
I love you. My plants eat what I do and they sure LOVE soy milk, yogurt, leftover smoothies. You can dump it all in a bucket, stir each day and use within 3 days, diluted. TEA, I feed everything tea. Add some rice water rinse. So very many ways to feed your plants. Keep track of what works and what doesn't. I use at least 50 lbs DE in a season. Lay it down like a carpet, bugs hate it.
Thank you for sharing that tip on smell.
Wow, thank you. Exceptional use of the medium. Whey cool.
lovin' it!
He did it again!!! wooooowwww thank you so much
Very detailed video
Thank you 👍 have a nice garden🌻
This was very informative. Thank you!
There are different shades of brown sugar, depending on how much molasses it still contains (or is added back). If you can't get the right molasses, you could try dark brown sugar as it has the highest molasses content. Molasses would be best as it contains a lot of minerals.
I've done well tossing everything from weeds to manure into a bucket, letting it continuously steep in rainwater. Just strain off, dilute, and apply straight to plants. Then just throw more weeds in and top off with water. When the bucket accumulates an excess of solids, just fork it out and apply as mulch. It stinks and it works beautifully!
Great. I had some cow manure in a bucket of water which was great the first time. Second time it smelt rank but I used it anyway and lost everything I watered. It’s a fine line I think, and as soon as I have enough good compost, I think I’ll just stick to water and sunlight.
@@TheWeedyGarden It may not be a problem where you are, but here in the states hay and manure are killing gardens all over. Aminopyralids are sprayed on hay crops to kill broadleaf plants. It can pass through an animal's digestive tract and stay active for years in the soil. I would at least not rule it out until you check with your neighbors to see if they know how the hay/feed they supply their cattle is treated.
That’s a great video man thanks so much!
love it! thanks for the update.. we’ll be waiting for the next (:
Hi Sir. I love the composition and production of this video. Beautiful and clever use of the drawings. I can see you spent an incredible amount of time to put it together. I would like to offer a couple of thoughts from my experience. I have used anaerobic 'teas' for 30+ years and have never had a problem with it killing or otherwise harming plants. Actually, the opposite is true as it makes for healthy, vigorous plants. I dilute at least 1:10 with unchlorinated water. More dilution is better if one is not sure. Odor is never a reason not to use it because anaerobic teas are stinky! I have jokingly said that I know it is ready when it smell so bad flies won't land on it! Please understand that aerobic bacteria dwell in the top 1" of soil because they need oxygen while anaerobic bacteria dwell beneath that. This is the primary division even though there are some bacteria which can be either aerobic or anaerobic. So use air infused, aerobic bacteria teas for the top of the soil and the anaerobic bacteria teas for deep drenching. Also, I made a large batch of Lactic Acid Bacteria serum over 1 1/2 year ago and mixed it with brown sugar to stabilize it. It is still good today. It is stored in brown glass jars and is kept in a dark, cool location. Thank you so much for the video!
Have been loving the videos mate. 😁😁👍
Have you looked into KNF (Korean Natural Farming)?
I think you'll find it very interesting and would love to see the videos you could come up with looking at how the IMO 1 fungus grows. 😁🍄
Cheers & Happy Growing Mate 🌱🌱🦠
Rob Bob,yeeewwwwww...
I love a bit of KNF and Jadam...
Your vids rock too man,I hope you're doing well...
YESSS! Wow, so easy! I'm going to try incorporating the JADAM principles this spring in my garden. So glad you mentioned it!
Ahh two of my favorite Aussie gardeners. :).
That would be an interesting video to watch, Rob.
I’m getting into KNF! I’ve made LAB so far
Insatiable appetite for your content. Please create more.
Oh my goodness! It worked! I’m adding nanners to mine to feed my sweet potatoes! I’m so excited. Things don’t usually work the first time, but this one did, for me. Woohoo!
What a pleasure to watch; you do such incredible productions. Of the gardening mistakes I made this year, I am aware of 25 of them. Thank you so much for this one. I started 7 days ago and ready to add milk to my mixture. As I have a large document that contains all of my gardening information, I added your soil mixture to it...and wanted to share it, should it benefit you or other gardeners. I hope I understood your instructions correctly. Soil Bacteria (The Weedy Garden) - Making soil bacteria can take from 9-21 days.
Start with ½ gallon (2 liters) of clean water (remove the chlorine and ammonia). Possibly consider using rain water?
Add Rice - Mix 2.1 cups (1/2 kilo) of white starchy rice into the water and let it sit for a while (overnight). What you have primarily in the water is lactobacillus bacteria….a good thing
o Strain out the rice; you are left with milky looking water. Cover the top of the container with a cloth covering and place a rubber band around it the edges.
o Let it Stew - Place the container in a dark area for about 3-7 days (when the mixture smells sweet, its ready).
Add Milk - In order to separate any bad bacteria contained in the mixture, add a little over 4.2 cups (1 liter) of organic cow milk (full cream, and or pasteurized and homogenized cow milk).
o Let it Stew - Place the mixture back in the dark for 3-7 days.
Remove the Kurds - At this point, remove the curds at the top and using the cloth.
Add Molasses - Take 1 cup (250 ml) of whey, together with 1 cup (250 ml) of molasses, and add it to 2.6 gallons (10 liters) of clean water (rain water if possible). Note, use molasses without Sulphur, or brown or raw sugar.
o Let it Stew - Stir the mixture up and let it sit for 7 days.
Create the Mother Brew - Take 4.2 cups (1 liter) of the mixture and place it in the fridge.
Preparing the Soil Bacteria for Garden Use. Take 3.4 ounces (100 ml) of the soil bacteria and add it to 2.6 gallons (10 liters) of clean water.
o For a standard 25-gallon drum (94.6 liters), take 33 ounces of the soil bacteria and add it to 25 gallons of clean water.
o Storage - To avoid high temperatures which can kill the bacteria, place the drum in a shady / cool area.
Conversions
100 milliliters = 3.4 ounces (less than 1/2 cup)
½ cup = 4 ounces
250 milliliters = 1 cup
½ kilogram = 2.1 cups
1 liter = 4.2 cups
40 ounces = 5 cups
10 liters = 2.6 gallons
100 liters = 26.4 gallons
So cool!!!! 🙏
Thank you for the conversions!!
Thanks for the video and for summarizing it for the rest of us !
Thanx agian for keeping that flame alive
I left mine in the sun, I will have to start again;
Thanks for the info😘
Fabulous... When we are out of lockdown... I hope to get garden rearranged and new shed, and have a go at this... So interesting. Thanks 😍
Secoooond - i wus waiting here for ur vid a loooong time :3
Keep up the good work ;*
And half a pack of carrots seeds for second
The Weedy Gardener social distancing from his bacteria 😷
ha ha ha
Fun and educational video to watch as always, David. You have published No. 6! ..thanks for sharing your talents...I tell you, this is one of the bright sides of covid - your TWG channel in YT. Keep up the good job, mate!
Jeez Thanks Bug. Is that your real name?
@@TheWeedyGarden Gardening friends started calling me Bug because of my fondness for gardening and therefore being hit by 'gardening bug'. It became my nom de guerre.
@@farmerbug7343 cool
eres mi compañero favorito! un abrazo gigante, vive tu vida a pleno!!
I have been doing the banana water for about a year, it really works great, the longer it ferments the better. So don’t throw away your brown bananas.
lol i chuck my bananas into my bathtub worm farm
the wormies love them
How do you use your banana water and on what.
@@joycelynaustin768 I take the ripe banana peels that have been sitting in my mason jar for over a weeks, shake up the jar then fill my watering can with the banana water and water then pour over my plants. You can take out the peels and compost them and just use the banana water, I just use everything and add that to my watering can.
@@PegsGarden How many times a week you water the plants with banana?
@@erlindafernando8868 once every few months.
Back to the ole 200l drum sitting in the sun at the moment haha
Maybe a video on how to move heavy drums is in order!
You are just awsome. Fun and a brilliant film maker, I can see how you enjoy doing what you are doing. I am very picky with music, your music taste is just wonderful. So enjoyable and informative at the same time. You are so inspiring. Wish I could meet you in person. Too far away. Sad. Many thanks for your videos. I share them with friends and on FB. All the best for you.
Oh wow, who knew bacteria was so complex 🤷🏼♀️. Your delivery was as always superb and can I also add...riveting! You had me dropped jaw, glued to the iPad and learning so much! As a newbie my gardening antics are full of mistakes but hey... I’m still trying and learning slowly, slowly I hope my haute cuisine mini veg will become more rustic, chunky and wholesome after learning so much from you about plant food! Thank you my friend for the wonderful videos 🙏🏼😃
Karen I hope you get good results :-)
