How long you aerate it for 20 gallon?
Bff
Loved video. How about using air conditioning condensation water for this?
Useful video thanks. Once the tea is brewed, I was told to mix it with water on a 1:5 (water) ration. Diluted to a color of a mild drinking tea color.
Agree?
Oh I just heard at the end that you dilute your tea with water for foliar spray 50:50. Sounds like it is going to be very potent. Danger or leave burn?
U are an artist and a great teacher sadly some donât appreciate that , awesome school , thank u
I love finding videos like this when eyebrows the Internet.
Pure gold
Lmaođđđ
Holy shit!
Had something funny to say, totally forgot after laughing for five minutes đđ
thats freaky
i have worked in production horticulture for 25 years using old farm practices eg.synthetic ferts,broad spectrum insecticdes i have found this video one of the best , to the point , no bullshit info vids the 23 thumbs down ,,there are allways a few know it alls that know f,,,all 23 of them it seems .Dude keep up the fantastic work you are also very engaging ,you had me captured right to the last air bubble GOOD JOB
One of the best videos i have seen on YT for making compost tea. Down to earth and simply put. Thank youđ
I love the cookies and candies analogy. I work well with metaphors so this video really helped me to understand the relationship with the microorganisms and the plants. Thank you Steven!
Awesome video. Looking forward to all of those future videos. đ
Today, I was taking a trip down memory lane of videos that I have watched from you and found myself here. The need to appreciate you and your genuine teaching style is understated massively in our society, however there is a community that has always been here supporting and agreeing with you. And now to look at how far soil health science has come in just a few years. Now that I find myself in June 2020 (needless to describe our environment), I must express how much you have influenced me over the years and inspired me. Please, help me leave the central valley and it's monocultures behind, good people need good people and help more now than ever. I need to be around people that think like me, and if you had the grace to assist me in a direction, it would be beyond my gratefulness, it would be beneficial to the humanity that I wish to help, like you do my friend, as we slide into an interesting predicament here in June 2020.
Very good stuff Steven. I read Teaming with Microbes last summer and have red wrigglers in oak leaf compost. I've collected the runoff from this a few times, but this is inspiring me to create a bigger tea system to get the full use from that brew. Thanks for taking the time!
Definitely learned a lot
I got alarmed as you said the warnings of applying little amount of aeration to the tea and it made me learn to know more about bacterial activities do to plants.
Love the video, explains a lot that was needed on my part. Thank you.
Thanks for this video ive been trying to find a good source to understanding teas ppms nutes and overall micro growth and this explained more to me than youd know thanks brotha!
Great video! I have the book Teaming with Microbes. Seeing you make the tea with step by step directions was so helpful. Your past teaching career holds you in good stead. Your a good teacher.
Excellent information. Thank you for sharing.
How was I not already subscribed? I've watched a ton of your videos, and they're always so informative. Really appreciate the scientific approach to gardening. I find this stuff to be fascinating.
Super interesting since Iâm trying to make worm tea. Thanks so much for this great info.
Thanks for the great how to for aerated teas. I already make as much compost and worm castings as I have room for on a suburban block but have been putting off creating teas. I've just been using worm leachate to keep my compost moist and buying organic foliar sprays.
Seen you before on growingyourgreens channel so when your face showed up in the compost tea results I had to watch. (Sorry, but yes I remembered the eyebrows too) :)
I've subscribed and now will have to check out lots of your other videos too.
Thanks again from Melbourne Australia.
Great timing.. I have been thinking of upping my worm tea brew... Exactly what I have been researching.. Great info.. Thanks.. Happy growing..
Nice glad to hear that Sima! I keep making mine better and better too. The soil biology behind it all is fascinating!
Thank you sharing your knowledge in a way that a beginner can understand.
Wow! I just gathered a tremendous store of knowledge from your 31 minute video. Thanks so much for putting this together and posting it.
"Teaming with microbs" is a must read soil foodweb. Great stuff!!!
Thanks so much, valuable information and real good communication.
I've made anaerobic tea for years, and the plants love it, I read somewhere that when you add fresh water to dilute it starts the airobotic action again, and the airobic microbes eat the anarobic ones and its all good,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Love the videos! Iâm actually building a worm farm like yours this weekend! Keep up the great motivational and educational videoâs.
Love that Louis! Worms are our best friends :) Hope you like the system
it was great catching you on instagram live recently, congrats on the move and I hope it's going great. I had this video cued up in a tab for a couple weeks while I have been looking around for tea recipes without molasses because I figured it would kill diversity in the tea. not easy to come by that type of recipe. of course you've got it here already and I just hadn't seen it. Thanks again. I have deeply appreciated all the knowledge you've been putting out there, and I have been experimenting with and learning so much from what you've shared. haven't dug into soldier fly larvae yet, but I may get curious enough soon. thanks again, take care.
Excellent Video! I appreciate your detailed instruction!
When I started gardening in the place I live the soil was very dry and sandy (deep sand) after using compost and compost tea for the last 10 years it is now a rich worm filled nutrient living soil. The plants grow stronger, produce more and have way less disease and pests. I don't mind all the extra work it takes to be Organic and to create a living soil. This year I'm beginning work on the fungi and i'm very excited to see the results from that!! Love your videos ,you helped me a lot when I built my Chicken Coop/Run. thank you!!
You are so inspiring!
Thank you - brilliant start for me
Dr. Ingam is awesome.
Hello brother, loved your video I really learned a lot. keep in touch.
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Love your Channel! Great Video!
Amazing and just what I wanted to know. Thank you.
Was refreshing my memory n having a look at different people's recipes but I found your video really helpful đ great info very knowledgeable . Suscribed
Great video my friend thanks for sharing your great information
Do you also add Brawndo? Itâs what plants crave, itâs got electrolytes. Seriously, love the videos and that you reference Dr Ingham. Keep it up.
Luneth Gardens But it has electrolytes it's what plants crave
Lol yep
Like outta the toilet?
Thanks for sharing, very greatful
Thank you dear for good information đ
Awesome content! Thank you.
Its interesting you mention the decompostion at a ft. Of soil that produces smell and root rot ive found conditioning this soil is a great way to rejuvinate it
awesome info man, thanx.
Thank you soooooooooooo much for this video and giving us the recipe!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing Presentation
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, been watching a few videos, Look forward to learning more.
Appreciated My Man
Great information. Thanks
Great video, very informative
Thanks for putting this process and the whyâs into understandable english!!
Great video. I wish someone would make a video about all the tools and equipment needed for these kinds of processes. Iâve also heard Elaine Ingham talk about injecting biology into the soil underneath compaction layers, but I havenât been able to find the equipment needed for that-at least not under $500 or $600 or more.
Great information. I have been researchig Dr Elaine Inghams practices and you have managed to simplify it for me. Thank you from Australia!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you. Eva
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) will remove not only chlorine but also chloramines which many utilities use and cannot be aerated out of your water...just takes a tiny amount.
Great informative video.
Looks great! Will try as I get the worm castings started... along with my compost pile... I think I'm going to get the Worm Factory 360.
Worm castings are hands down the best fertilizer ever and you get the benefit of the microbes as well. Best of luck with your systems glad you are doing them, you'll love it!
I dig the science. Subscribed.
Enjoyed the video very much. I listened to it while working. Your voice, writing, presentation and information was easy to follow even without out the visual. I use CZcams like a podcast. Though I've listened to various composing videos I still found new things to learn. I also like hearing your appreciation for the soil biologist and their work.
Dude.... BADASS... NOW I UNDERSTAND BETTER.. THANK YOU SO MUCH..
AWESOME! Happy tea making!
Funny Iâve lived on well water for 65 years. And If I try to drink Chlorinated water it makes me ill. My wife took a drink out of a drinking fountain at OâHare Airport and had diarrhea before we landed in Dayton. Thatâs like 45 minutes. Good Video. Cheers!
eye love to browes stuff like this... thanks
Thanks for sharing, so informative process . đ
The video editing is strong with this one
Thanks for sharing
very good and informative.
Very informative! .
Would this be good to spray on a sheep/cattle pasture? Great video. Thank you for your time.
And thanks for suggesting Elaine's video's. I'm hooked on learning about the soil food web. Wish I had that money for a microscope lol.
See if your local buy nothing group has one you can borrow.
Obvious facts but soooo instructive and impressive when put together :) Thx mate ;)
Really helpful informative teachings. Do you recommend keeping your compost tea in shade? Are there any plants that should not be added to compost piles or used in making green teas? I am thinking of tomato vines and suckers.
TFS all the info
great info especially the microscope thanks
4:55 I love this shit, keep the science up bro because it got me hooked
nice,thank you
With all this talk about aeration and aerobic, I know oxygen is good, but people have been âsteepingâ compost for a very long time and seems to work great. Iâve been throwing compost in a bucket , mixing it every few hours. Let it sit overnight for 6 years and itâs Very good stuff. Im starting to aerate now and will see if thereâs any improvements?
I use spring water which has very high oxygen levels.
Thank you.
Thanks for spreading your knowledge! Question about your microscope analysis -- what are you looking for (microbially speaking), ratios of fungi, bacteria, protozoa, etc? Do you stain your sample with anything to make it easier to see the microbes?
So glad to discover your channel! I note you mentioned back in the day you did Aquaponics.....I am really interested to know why you did not choose aquaponics for your farm...particularly for your greens? I am at crossroads between Aqua and soil for my market garden and would love to get input on this!
Great condensed explanation of how it all works , I got a lot from it . What do you suggest for a lawn & shrubs like azaleas & hydrangeas . I used a lot of chemicals on my lawn this year & am now going with microbe friendly plan . Itâs a cold fall so compost tea is not an option , but I want to put down alfalfa meal in spring followed by compost tea . Am I on the right track ?
Looking for the videos with the other tea recipes you mention...
Another shared by Toon and Leigh Thanks
This is the most informative video on worm tea, and the environment, etc. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Thanks for your sharing so others can be healthy too and they can share with others Also đâïžđ
Nice video đđŸ
Great video. My garden soil has improved immensely. But the biggest thing I've noticed since I've been using these techniques, is all the compliments I've been getting on my eyebrows.
So I was listening about the Humic Acid part, and I'm wondering if the Leatchate (worm run off from a worm bin) could be used instead of running water over compost? Or is that basically the same thing as putting the worm castings in at the end like you did? Great educational video, learning a ton!
đ I was so focused on the title and intro that when our super host appeared squinting with the light in his eyes he had my full attention from the start, him and his 'pillers.
Keep it up, bro. You're a star!
Thanks for the Vid bro. I don't know shit about soil so your vids totally rock. :D
I'll be going from complete newbie to (hopefully) feeding my home this year. Exciting to think about and I'll have to watch these kinds of vids a few times. Thankfully I've got a "Greenhouse" playlist of vids I've added this to.
Love the hat btw. Cowboy hats rock but the Asian rice hats rock even more imo. Nice to keep that sun out.
My wife logged on for the information and left falling in love with your eyebrows. Thanks brođ„
You have saved my lil backyard apt container garden lol I have made 2 buckets of anaerobic compost tea which I see would have burned up my transplants đ
What i am liking with your channel i noticed that you are on here to pass on your knowledge. Most channels i notice teach nothing I already know. Thanks for making me a better gardener đ
Great video. I'm doing my compost tea in 5 gallon batches, but use water from rain barrels and/or my fresh water aquarium. Any insights. Soon to start a worm bin
Have you made the video showing how you use your microscope for checking the bacteria and fungi and etc? I was looking for it but didn't find it.
I discovered Dr Elaine Ingham a week ago and i have watched almost all the videos/lectures related to her. Mind blowing and eye opening.
Did you attend her courses?
Ive got a pine tree suffering from blight, I wonder if a worm tea could help it out...
I just started a worm farm this year so im definitely thinking of trying this now.
Very informative. Thank you. I am very interested in the microscope aspect. What are you looking for on the lens? How do you identify the various microbes in a sample? What type of microscope do you use? Can you recommend a brand for beginners? Thanks again.
Great
Looks perfect for charging boichar.
This is the tea I use for that :)
Wha does charging biochar mean?
marcjtdc if youâre still curious, itâs adding fertiliser/bacterial&fungal culture to the biochar
.
As the biochar has significant surface area, significant quantity of liquids and microbial life can stick to it
Thank you for your great presentation & valuable information. May I suggest a better way to aerate? Put a reverse Y fitting in your water pump hose, as far from the outlet as possible, but still in air. Air is drawn in & mixes with the water, if you give it some length to do so. You may doubt this works, but, I oxygenated 100,000 pounds of fish in a fish farm this way.
Itâs a Venturi
@@thomasa5619 It certainly is. Not a great one. But it aerates very well. A real venturi would be best.
Just wanted to be clear for any other readers
