This was a wonderful explanation. Thank you. I have been thinking of making anaerobic ferments and then adding an air bubbler to for a few days, diluting it and spraying it through my overhead sprinklers on everything as a folier feed fertilizer. What are your thoughts on this?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

we never want to combine the mechanisms of the different processes... make anaerobic ferments and apply to the soil only.... make separately high quality aerated compost tea and apply to the whole thing the foliage and soil and everything... this is the recipe for success my friend no need to aerate the ferments it works along a totally different pathway and will not benefit anything

[@BaliFoodTreePlanter]

Yes anerobis kills aerobic necessary for your life. You don't need to destroy life to create your food, do you. Aerobic was the change on Earth that allowed humans, animals and plants to live on Earth. Methane is deadly to life, even though you don't see it.

help. I have a bucket with fish leaf mold and I think I put some molasses in it - I can't remember, to be honest. It has been in a closed bucket for 3 months (winter). I have opened the top a few times, maybe every two weeks, and I have stirred it. But for the most part, I have done nothing. It has a lovely stench and pink gunky gunk on top. My questions 1) should I open it occasionally? Will it explode? LOL 2) How long should it take before it is ready? Is the lack of odor the sign? Am I right to assume that as the temps heat up, this process will speed up? Any tips aapreciated.

[@glassbackdiy3949]

Good talk, cheers Nate. I've moved away from the liquid ferments in favor of plant leechates, you can find the mineral/nutrient content of nettles and comfrey on the web, mix the two 50/50 for a complete mineral balanced mix, use a barrel with a drain on the bottom, put some scrunched up chicken wire in the bottom 10" to act as a filter, fill the bin with fresh chopped nettle & comfrey, put a large rock on top to weight it down, collect leechate runoff, it stores well in sealed milk jugs fpr 12 months+, doesn't smell at all, perfect liquid fertiliser diluted 12:1, I had sweet peppers 8ft tall in the GH using only this fert every 2 weeks (UK zone 9ish)

[@imlew7853]

Basing it on how my plants react best is my go to method. Compost tea seems to be the winner. I spray foliar and can drench the soil with compost tea. Flowers pop up overnight, aids against leaf wilting resistance from the Florida sun, grass is greener and keeps my sandy soil to hold more water. Compost, dried seaweeds, unsulfured blackstrap molasses, epsom salt and yucca extract are always present in my tea recipe. I have never seen my hydrangeas blooming so much with the rest of the sickly plants. With so many articles out there, the outcome is the answer at the end of the day. Nature has its own way to work for our own interest. But we have to do our part. Nature is where I see the hands of God. I shred my bamboo, mix it with diatomaceous earth and cannot believe how my ginger grows by the inch each day. Mother Nature gives gifts that keep on giving. The eternal cycle of life. One of the many benefits of compost tea is that it acts as direct pest control on leaves, vegetables and fruits that ground compost application may not work as efficient. Florida has a long growing season but always a challenge when it reaches the peak months of high humidity, strong rain and above 90 degree farenheit daily.

[@AlvinKazu]

One thing I was looking to ask is how to know what inputs need to be anaerobic vs aerobic fermentation. i.e., what needs to have an open vs sealed container. I've been making all sorts of fertilizers, but everything is sealed with a lid for the most part; however I have one 5 gallon bucket that I didn't put a lid on, and just put in a bunch of food items to ferment recently, to which I've noticed a nice layer of mold,,etc on top doing its thing and forming the last number of days. It's only been about a week or so, so I expect to see some good changes. This makes me believe that maybe more experimentation is needed to see how each input operates depending if it's sealed or not. I've had some fantastic fermentation and mold with sealed lids and a closed environment, but something about having an open container, with wild local molds, etc, is something that sounds great and I will see how it goes. One thing I've noticed after making my own yeast just by using milk, honey(sugar) and wheat, is that our air/environment has everything we need(the bacteria to start the yeast fermentation included, even though some are apparently on the wheat/grains themselves). It even makes me question the leaf mold, because the air contains so much beneficial goodness that is being spread and carried from who knows how far away, do we really even need leaf mold? I went once an hour away to the local forest and collected some, but I seemed to mess up and it dried out so I don't think it was useful, and I never went back.... But I have so much mold growth in my ferments, my garden also gets a nice layer of mold/etc on it under the straw mulch layer. I think part of this comes from the inputs as well, as everything has it's own set of bacteria, fungi/mold, etc. For example I get milk from a local farm that I use for a LABS bucket (I don't strain away anything, I put all my used up dairy into this bucket... there's even a chunk of raw butter that I left and it went bad which went itno the bucket). The amount of bacteria strains in that milk is vast, let alone the kefir I added to it. I was looking to set up a second bucket of milk with the second kefir to innoculate these other bacteria strains from the other kefir that was from another state that was a product I had purchased.

Last year, I mostly used fermented chicken manure fertilizer, which I mixed at a 1:50 ratio with water from the duck pond, added a bit of molasses, and aerated it before using it for watering.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

how did that work for you?

[@voy_tech]

@@gardenlikeaviking It tackled the stench head-on, much to my relief. Before discovering this method, my dear wife was far from pleased with the lingering odor following fertilizer application. Venturing into the world of fermented fertilizer was a first for me, leaving me without any point of reference. Nonetheless, the garden flourished admirably. I must express my gratitude for guiding our discussion in such a direction, as it ignited a rather ingenious idea for the care of my seedlings. Until now, I've utilized pond water mixed with homemade egg fertilizer-old eggs blended with shells and fermented using lactic acid bacteria from last year. Considering the positive outcome so far, I’m now thinking of enhancing this blend with molasses and introducing aeration to further enrich the concoction.

Good stuff as always. I make my comfrey tea and weed tea a year ahead of time. The stink is almost all gone after sitting for several months; it just smells like a mild organic fertilizer. Not raw sewage. And then I'm confident I've gotten all the nutes and minerals out of the plant material. Just make twice as much as you think you need this year, and leave half of it covered until next spring when you start using it. Then you're ahead of the game and you only have to make one batch for the following year.

I started the anaerobic JADAM style, but also hesitant to use. So, what I have been doing is putting it in my tea brewer and bubbling it before applying. This gave me more confidence. After watching this video I realize I have not added much to the liquid since I started so, maybe I won't add more and just wait for it to be more "done".

[@Jayr-x4q]

Dude Jadam liquid fertilizer is made using anaerobic fermentation. As soon as you put aeration in it the microbes will start to die. They cannot survive in an aerobic environment since they were made using anaerobic process. I promise you do not need to aerate JLF it completely defeats the purpose of it.. add it without aeration and you’ll be amazed

[@gardenlikeaviking]

yes my friend the way to do it is let it all break down at least 80% of the way... then apply the anaerobic ferments to the soil only!!.. no need to bubble it that is a separate solution we'll be making and could actually increase the amount of any pathogens present...

[@musictech85]

Im curious what you think of Robert Pavlis' work. He says that adding more microbes with compost tea won't do much because all soil is at maximum capacity based on the amount of organic matter available. The added microbes will just die due to lack of food. All you can do is add more organic matter to increase the capacity of the soil and the microbes will multiply on their own.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

there are many theories behind this... but if you follow the compost tea video I put out in a few weeks and use it once a week this summer you will see for yourself the outstanding effects it has on the whole garden... the plants will be amazingly healthy if done correctly.... for me that kind of actual proof and effect is much more important than someones theory... never heard of that guy but I'll check him out thank you for the suggestion!

Tried to get him interested in making actually recipes like this yet hes more interested in Roblox.cant blame him, as its 102⁰ today....i do believe what elaine ingham says, "if 5% of people compost (properly) global warming will just go away..."

[@jesse4530]

Are you not foliar feeding anymore?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

yes definitely!... but now its only with the aerated compost teas and a couple select fertilizers such as the fish.... you'll see the aerated tea recipe contains lots of things and it goes all over the leaves and soil and everything

Good afternoon! please tell me how to quickly compost pine sawdust? Have you had a similar experience? I have a lot of sawdust, but I don’t know how to compost them correctly(((

[@charlescoker7752]

How do you tell when the Anerobic fertilizer is done?

[@graemedevine9651]

Thanks Nate, I've been messing around with different teas in a 20 litre bucket and mainly using on my house plants, I've a microscope so I'm able to check them, I'm going to use an 80 litre container in the summer for my garden, currently using a decent fish tank pump with 2 air stones in my 20 litre bucket, would I need a more powerful pump for the 80 litre?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

definitely need a more powerful pump... in the compost tea video I'll be explaining all that and you'll see I have a quite powerful pump for the 55gallon drum

[@graemedevine9651]

@@gardenlikeaviking In your video let the wattage of the pump be known and its litres per minute flow, I've been looking at 90 watt ones.

Would compost extract work well with microgreens or potentially amplify any mold effects?

[@Crashbangable]

I always harvest micro greens just before they show signs of wanting fertilizer

[@ryansearles6078]

@@Crashbangable you’re right they definitely don’t need it, just curious if it would increase yields/rate of growth

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I've experimented over the years and there's not much difference because I harvest the MG's before they would really benefit from the extract.... except for wheatgrass yes that will become dramatically more luscious and green and juicy using extract

[@JayKumar-qh8pg]

Hi Nate thanka for your video. Plz tell me will there be gas build up in the sealed barrel where we are trying to develop the anaerobic digested teady to use for soil. Plz help me on this. Thanks

[@gardenlikeaviking]

there will be some yes... that is why these barrels are designed to release high amounts of pressure if it builds up... a 5gal bucket with lid will work so long as its not a real tight locking lid with o ring... then it will simply pop the lid off a bit to release the bass

Don’t forget about the bacteria micros URINE, not just their dead bodies and feces . NATE or tribe,I’ll be on Hudgenson island tomorrow with a few of my grandchildren, is it worth vacuum bagging, compressing, and mailing a dish pac sized box full of SEAWEED home for JLF or top dressing or to add to my compost also to my high value plant ?

[@johncronk9422]

Looking for the compost tea with air video link please

[@pampotgieter7611]

NATE! A question⁉️ Compost tea after its had the bubbler going for 24 hours. Can you spray the leaves during the day, or does the same principle apply as the fermented hooch, only to be applied at night? Many Thanks NATE! 💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿

[@gardenlikeaviking]

Only to be applied at night my friend very important

[@pampotgieter7611]

​@@gardenlikeaviking Thank You NATE, Ok my Friend, the same as always. Love and respect. ❤🤗💚🤗❤️🤗💚👍👋😇

[@ikke.gernoasje]

So if I understand it well, JADAM (anaerobic) extracts more of the pure nutrients like N P K and lots of others from what you put in it, but aerobic fermentation transformes extracted nutrients into plant available nutrients like amoniumsulfate, nitrate, etc. So wouldn't it be better to firstly make anaerobic JADAM extract so that you have lots of concentrated nutrients and give that concentrated stuff to the bacteria and fungi in the aerobic fermentation so that they have lots of nutrients to transform into plant available nutrients?

[@emmanuelquinones9156]

For as much as I do what is instructed in the video on making the compost tea and I look through the microscope I don’t see any micro organisms like people see and say they see in their’s

[@jean-micheljuzan9617]

Hi Nate, You compare compost extraction, oxygenated compost tea and JLF, but you didn't talk about JMS, why? It seems to me that JMS and oxygenated compost tea are more comparable even if the process differs but which are both a multiplication of microorganisms than JLF and compost extraction which are more of a source of nutrients.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

yes you are absolutely correct my friend and essentially the JMS is a compost tea but is its own sub category of Anaerobic Compost Tea.... but I am all about simplifying things for people so I didn't want to throw that curve ball in there so to keep it simple I'll just call the JMS by its own name even though technically its definitely a multiplier of microbes yes but its the only one with virtually ZERO nutrients and ONLY microbes

[@jean-micheljuzan9617]

@@gardenlikeaviking Ah you scared me, I thought for a moment that you were abandoning JMS to devote yourself to the AACT 😅

I started working with red earth, clay structure but a little more porous, very low ph (4,5). And am making 40% earth, 5 to 10% compost, 25% coco and 30% sand. (not exact but around those numbers). I get a decent structure. First had major ph problems, kinda solved it by adding hard wood ash to the mix (around 1 handful per galon of substrate did the trick, with a few more applications above soil every now and then), and started using JMS. This season is looking good, but took me almost 9 months to get to this point. I had a baby substrate hahaha. Still don’t see those nice fungii underneath the surface though, but plants seem to like it a lot and I see no more yellowing. Do I need anything else to enhance the mycelium life? what would you recommend? note on red earth: is very low in organic matter (1% at most), super rich in iron (but not plant available), aluminium, and practically an old and empty earth type. Very good for Yerba Mate, but bad bad bad for many species

[@nancycagle7854]

? Should I add 1 tsp FAA to the compost extract ?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

absolutely!!... the seedlings will love that!

[@ChefIsaac925]

Do you do this every week or month?

[@allanballiett2269]

Great Video, Nate! Hey, it's not going to get under 70 in the evening here for quite some time. Is it a waste of time to spray a Compost Tea foliar when it's 75 and the sun is going down? (it is possible that it will be 65 or so by 7am but not necessarily so. Would appreciate your opinion. Thanks for your hard work!!

[@gardenlikeaviking]

temperature is not a problem and 75 is perfect to spray the biggest concern is the ultraviolet radiation from the sun will quickly kill many of those precious microorganisms in the tea so we only must make sure the sun does not denature this tea

[@cbak1819]

I'm growing cut flowers for bouquets, does anyone use the tea for that?
