The worms in the slow compost method will eat some of those things, but they don't digest everything. Given enough time, the worms will get to most of it. Thanks for your question and watching.

Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it is helpful for you. Thanks for watching.

Mostly I think it has to do with the type of steel that is used. These Austrian scythe blades are usually made from a type of steel that responds to the pounding by making the edge hardened. Think of it the same way as a blacksmith beating on a horseshoe into the shape makes it harder. However, you could always give it a try. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much! 😊

Yes, if we need to build a low tunnel we would use the same technique. In 2021 we retired from the flower farming business and but still have our high tunnels which we know use for growing food and flowers for our own consumption. So at this point we really haven't had a need to build in low tunnel but if we did we would definitely do it the same way.

@ Thank you! Does that mean you now use only high tunnels and no low tunnels even inside the high tunnel? I’m glad you’re still growing and making videos. I wish you lived next door. I’m a beginning flower grower. I just want to find a mentor or course to teach me how to grow in sustainable ways.

​@@CupoTresstrue we're not using low tunnels the same way with way we would construct them to withstand weather. We do use a version of low tunnel over sensitive crops inside the high tunnel for frost protection.

The biochar we use was not activated or charged with biology before we added it to the fertilizer making process. Since there's so much biologic activity going on while the fertilizer is being made we just put raw biochar into it. What comes out the back end if there's any char in the solution it's already got a lot of biology attached to it from the fertilization process. We had biocharge when we're making jlf because it's really cuts down on odor.

We have used JMS in the spring before Bud break. It's had no negative impact on the plants. JMS is just a simple biologic to add to the soil and doesn't really have any impact negative impact on the plants that we have noticed. The plants seem to be thriving just fine.

Glad you enjoyed it, good luck with your mums! Thanks for watching.

No you don't need to charge the biochar if you're going to be adding it to a worm bin the worms have plenty of bacteria and good biology in their worm casting so it's simply is just a great attitude to add to the castings. However one thing it is is kind of important is it a big chunks need to be kind of smashed up the finer the material you add the better it works.

Thank you! Cheers!

The electroculture tomatoes have continued to produce more tomatoes and have a longer harvest time than the non-electroculture tomatoes.

@@BareMtnFarm beans in winter we harvest 3 to 4 times without electroculture So what do you think with the electroculture, how much times we can harvest

@@BareMtnFarm thank you so much Mr 🦊🦊

👍👍 Hey....👍👍. Thanks

I agree, Schreiner's is a great source and the rebloomers are a joy. Will take a look at Victoria Falls. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting

Glad you enjoyed it Hopefully it was helpful.

This would not work for your application. There is no internal steel or frame structure to give it any support. It is low cost and simple for our purposes of keeping the rain and snow off our pump. Thank you for your question and watching.

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

We are not aware of bunny tails in black or other colors. We are guessing their are dyed but seed producers are always innovating. Thanks for your question and watching our channel.

No, I use a JLF made from purslane weeds typically to get a higher nitrogen JLF. We don't live close enough to the coast to get easy access to fish waste for making FAA so we try to use what we have here on the Farm.

You can add anything that has a fairly easily digestible(by bacteria) carbohydrate. However, using dairy may attract other nuisances such as rodents.

Yeah, I think that makes sense. I would mix the char with fresh green grass clippings then wet it down with the fish tank water, cover and let it ferment for a few weeks.

Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah a couple of gauges would make it easier to dial in the max pressure differential between input and output. Good idea!

The Lactobacillus bacteria (LAB) solution is kept refrigerated which slows its metabolism down to where it survives up to 6 months. When we apply the LAB to the food waste as we fill the Bokashi bucket we are cultivating LAB as the dominant bacteria which is pickling the food waste. During this process leachate and carbon dioxide are formed. If the leachate is allowed to saturate the bucket it will stop the LAB from being dominant and will allow other anaerobes to gain an upper hand. This disrupts the pickling process and causes putrefaction. Putrefaction in itself isn't bad and over the long term (think months) will also decompose the waste to a level its safe to use. Our goal is to use LAB to increase acidity to keep other anaerobes suppressed and quickly create a pickled food waste (roughly two weeks) that when the fermented bokashi is exposed to the aerobic bacteria in soil or a compost pile will decompose much faster than putrefaction or materials not treated via bokashi. The added benefit is this happens so much faster than either putrefaction or just burying food waste in the garden and doesn't attract animals.

@@BareMtnFarm Amazing detailed explanation, thank you.
