And..... where do we get that shirt? 😁👌

[@wexamundo]

Wow, this Part 2 is as interesting as Part 1 and Miles is an incredible source of knowledge. I look forward to seeing how it all works out!

[@Herbnpermaculture]

Aye my favorite garden mentors ❤️

[@mopar426power]

Awesome stuff. Since the 1st video I've made my own Dandelion ferment and also a insect frass ferment. I've used both multiple times and plants love it! Thank you for teaching us!

[@smokestacks.]

Weed should taste good!

[@avinashmiles]

Yes!

[@robinjensen4795]

Woop woop finally

[@eede9946]

I've said it before but the simple fact you guys try to help people make their own ferments instead of just trying to sell your products which are I would say the best thing out there for our gardens ty guys so much

[@McCannabisLuke]

Love that y’all share the process 🙏🙌

[@tory464]

💚👍right on! Cool info , Thanks!✌

[@dirtydizz420]

I love build a soil products. Miles I’d love some clothing but I am so tall I need a 3xl man

[@pixarisking]

So much knowledge shared with the community, anyone who has found BuildASoil should consider themselves lucky and be grateful as well!

[@pixarisking]

Thanks Miles & Gwen for taking the time to do this video series, such helpful detailed information! You guys are incredible at your willingness to share your knowledge and help teach others new skills, thanks just doesn't seem like enough!

[@davidlynnbrown1]

Almost forgot, Gwen I am sure lots of peeps want another tour of the greenhouse. Looks like it is raging. And also what’s happening outside. Thanks for this wonderful addition to the BAS content. I love how the whole BAS way works for all forms of gardening. Can’t wait until the next Build A Soil Family Farm episode. Until then, thanks again

[@steveog9282]

What’s up build a soil family and Miles!! Thank you for sharing all your recipes content💚😎✊🌱

[@georgem.6136]

Hell Yeah! Thanks for all this great info!

[@georgem.6136]

Miles is a bad ass!

[@justinvanburen8259]

Again, another amazing episode. Thank you very much for the knowledge and wisdom.

[@bushmatt]

Love the program, learning from trial and error is good (u don't forget those lessons). But u guys at "Build a soil" have saved me a couple grows just by learning from u and others. Kudos to the whole team and outside experience 👏. 👉💨💨

[@jwgrower81]

U guys are the best at explaining everything U do thank u for all the great content u and Jeremy are the best

[@Darkside_Select]

Loving the content 🇨🇦

[@smokestacks.]

Love the fact you can always come back and reference these videos, been using stuff from season one and have been trying to keep up!! More people are switching to home gardening daily and these will be an amazing tool for yeeeaaarssss to come! Started with a little home grow, and want to start some raised beds as our soils not the best cannot wait to buy a couple pallets of Colorado soil to get me set off on the right path!!! 🙏🙏🙏 we appreciate your dedication to the craft keep up the good work guys!

[@joemcgraw5529]

Thanks so much for answering my question about using lake grass excited to try it out ,Im learning so much about using organics instead of synthetic fertilizers BAS is so amazing and Miles BTW love the shirt cheers guys!!!

[@avinashmiles]

Thanks! Good vibes let us know how it works out

[@bigdillan9612]

I came for the knowledge, but stayed for the view😍

[@PNNYRFACE]

No shit, I wanna live inside that wooly beard

[@Loki_FPV666]

Good stuff, thanks for sharing!!!

[@jenniferg6818]

Miles is adorable. Also a microbe mystic. Bless up.

[@erikanderson1253]

Thanks! Please do more KNF-style videos.....spreading knowledge on cost effective natrual farm inputs is so important!

[@jaymartin85]

But, this is not KNF. you don't use water or molasses. Brown sugar has way more osmotic pressure to pull the moisture out of the microbes. You also let this ferment 7-8 days with a breathable lid, control oxygen and allow wild airborne life to get in , and if there are still bubbles/activity, you add brown sugar to properly super saturate, (molecule for molecule). If there is no plant juice from the pressure, you add a little pinch of salt. What they are making is more like a compost tea, anaerobically. This is how you really make FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice). Stay to the true rules to Korean Natural Farming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maGZi3Sjqcd3oJo

[@Crazypug-eh7xi]

Awesome

[@harvdog26]

Big Up’s Buildasoil and Myles! You guys are inspiring and we appreciate what you do for our community!! When making the plant ferments, do you use the whole batch before starting a new round or leave a little behind to inoculate the next batch? I’ve herd it gets better with time

[@avinashmiles]

Use the batch up and clean the vessel well before next ferment

[@smokestacks.]

Hey miles what are you using to clean your containers, and would it be good to use with chapens have had issues using like big six for example with the chapen not coming clean from particulates

[@dragoniousmaximus7304]

@@smokestacks. I muddle the big six to make more of a powder.

[@smokestacks.]

@@dragoniousmaximus7304 ooh probably easier absorbing that as well

[@dertythegrower]

@@smokestacks. Believe me... trust, commercial ops use citric acid powder for pH down, a little goes a long way... also protips is a lot of natural ipm sprays use citric acid for powdery mildew and also against some bugs.. citric acid powder also is used as a cleaner agent, to remove coffee stains off of coffeepots... 😎 everyone should and likely already is using it for one of those reasons.

[@mistygruesbeck3574]

So inspiring. Looking forward to Season 2 and beyond. Hope your back for this Spring '23 Gwen.

[@horstseehofer7130]

Thanks guys

[@shawnhorton4559]

Great video,thanks for sharing! I'm wondering if you can use more than one extract at a time.... say I've got a dandelion and nettle, can they be mixed together and would that alter the solution ratio or would it still be 1 ounce of each per gallon?

[@davidlynnbrown1]

This episode is fantastic. I have been waiting for this to drop. Made my first ferment, but after 3 weeks the PH is 4.28. Do I give it more time? Or even though it isn’t 3.5, will it still be beneficial to my garden? BTW, Miles I totally dig that shirt. Will definitely be hitting up your site for some “kind” apparel. To you and Gwen, good vibs from Boston. DB da OG

[@derekdavis8054]

Im in va I'm wondering where I can get some seeds...we are legal now...and I have a few plants from found seeds in great bud but I'm looking for good strains..I need seeds to buy or receive...

[@jacquelamontharenberg]

Fantastic info. Thank you. Could I use a cider vinegar and molasses mixture to speed up my compose?

[@dem483]

Thank you for all the great knowledge. How often do you use this in your garden?

[@samikelis]

rain on composted vegetation is enough fertiization for outdoor growing.. plants have their own natural sugars that break down with rain and insects and air..

[@jimd1617]

Thank you so much 🙌 A+

[@jodyf.4473]

Do we need to purchase a bluelab for fermenting

[@avinashmiles]

No, ph litmus paper can work as well

[@foodpimpz9086]

My aerated compost teas are funky smelling very quickly..

[@laurieedeburn2449]

thanka

[@chadreynolds8850]

Can you make a video on how to make a ferment for a foliar spray for pest management? Could one make a ferment from citrus, marigolds, peppers, peppermint, spearmint, garlic, onions, and other such plants that are natural insect repellents?

[@joshtworzydlo]

Might be a dumb question but can you ferment lawn clippings?

[@TrumpOrKennedy.]

I would love to see the setup for a five gallon bucket ferment.

[@zezoy03]

So I see you using a singular crop. It is a negative or counterproductive to make a ferment with several different crops? Like a "full spectrum " fertilizer?? If not which ones do u suggest I use together?

[@HuggyBearHikes]

If I make my own and bottle it doesn't this continue to ferment in the bottle?

[@wenareconchetumare]

i wonder if this method work to make fermented algae? or its different?

[@Stylezz4milezz]

Can I use alfalfa meal and kelp meal DtE as my greens and will it affect time period the ferment is rdy to go?

[@macraeowen3]

I have a question regarding my ferments: I have just made a ferment that smells like it's gone alcoholic...it has a strong smell of spirits. Is this going to be a problem for my plants? Thanks for the great content!

[@jakestraw3949]

It’s my understanding if it’s gone alcoholic or smells of alcohol not mild vinegar and funk it’s gone too long

[@Vscustomprinting]

Yeah.. I'd be a little careful

[@cassgilmore8485]

Do you use this ferment as a foliar spray or a rinse in?

[@mfisher1301]

After fermentation is complete, can you leave 10% of the liquid in the container and add a new bag of organic material and water and seal for another 2 weeks?

[@StickyDankFingers]

Another info packed video. Thank you Myles and Gwen :) Question #1. rhubarb leafs are toxic to humans, but can I make a ferment with them. Question #2. I use Sprouted Seed Teas (SST). Can you ferment these SSTs ? If so, is there an extra benefit or the same? Thanking you in advance for your response.

[@mopar426power]

Sprouted seed teas are best used fresh as they are used for the enzyme content that degrades over time. I'm sure you could ferment them and get some type of benefit but I would think not as much as using it right away. BAS does sell a sprouted Quinoa ferment colab with Jay Plantspeaker but I'm not sure of what it's use is if I'm being honest.

[@StickyDankFingers]

@@mopar426power thank you. How about fermenting the residual “waste” from making the Sprouted Seed Tea that would / could go directly into the compost. Any benefit to that ??

[@mopar426power]

@@StickyDankFingers I don't see any harm in doing that at all, especially if it's going into the compost pile. Fermenting brings in and multiplies beneficial bacteria, especially lactobacillus and that would help accelerate the compost pile. I say do it if you have the time.

[@jamesjw41]

Are there any dangers with cultivating bacteria from the same crop to which it will be applied? Example: Use corn to make the fermented extract and then apply to corn.

[@wildwilly1363]

👍

[@jaredheal7645]

For what it's worth. I have applied it to plants undiluted. Some have minor leaf issues after but most things did fine

[@jaredheal7645]

Ph was 3.5

[@Stylezz4milezz]

Can I use organic coconut suggga in place of molasses?

[@HashHyped]

or can you ferment “worm castings”?

[@soilBGuRu420]

💎🔥💎💎👃👃🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

[@bcwecan]

So in my experience the difference between the Korean natural farming and the plant extract is not much…. When you use the extract it contains Lab. When you just use Knf you have to add the LAb

[@avinashmiles]

Knf ferments are just dry sugar and plant matter - no labs no water

[@astoriagrowbox4685]

I use all three!! And make my own FAA, Plus miles is the man! I have to get my hands on some mesa mint!!!! WSTG all brother!

[@HashHyped]

can you ferment “montanagrow” ?

[@avinashmiles]

🦠🌲⚘

[@bluejay3945]

I can’t wrap my head around using anaerobic bacteria for aerobic soil conditions. What specific microbes are you culturing for? I’m fairly certain the smell is ammonia which cannot be good for plant health. No wonder why you are diluting it to such a degree

[@yusufabbasi9137]

My thoughts exactly...I knew a cannabis grow that did this got fungus gnats harvests came out diminished. I do not see the point

[@avinashmiles]

Lactic acid bacteria are facultative anaerobes - they will live in aerobic conditions also, dillution at 1 to 4 oz per gallon is not super dilluted, for example knf preps are often much lower like 4 to 8 ml per gallon

[@bluejay3945]

@@avinashmiles thank you but my point exactly. Why bother with facultative microbes when you are really trying for aerobic species? Agreed this dilution rate is normal but the typical dilution rate for this stuff is ridiculous. I still fear that who you are creating is akin to ammonia and without severe dilution you will fry your plants

[@astoriagrowbox4685]

Ammonia is found in soil and in compost. So? Bro. Stop Just do it. Bacardi and cola. Trust him. I have been using KNF for years. Never looking back
