Compost on a large scale: Regenerating 1000 acres: With Cory Miller and Kevin Lackey

[@longterm11581]

This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT videos on KZbin. Hope for our future, as traditional chemical farming is a colossal disaster.

Going there, meeting them and learning has given me so much hope.

[@miz180]

I agree!!! This is a very important video, our farmers need to see this is possible at a huge scale!

One thing that always comes through these regenerative natural approaches is that farm animals play an important role.

[@johnmcneal9477]

I started incorporating a similar system onto our market garden soils around 10 years ago. My small cow herd is the key to our success. My tomato plants averaged 8-10 lbs per plant by the old method and they now average approximately 40 lbs of fruit per plant. This is a very inspirational video and now I'm excited and pondering ways to tweak and streamline my systems for next season.

[@peopleoftheplants]

Wow that’s such a huge difference. I’d be interested to know if adding in this kind of compost makes a bigger difference. Keep me posted.

[@lilblackduc7312]

Wow! 🇺🇸 😎👍☕

[@hikerJohn]

The hay is the key. You can compost it or not and you will get the same results. Composting just gets it going faster. You don't need to wash the microbes out and spray them around but this is just a proof of concept that it's the microbes that are what makes soil fertile. The compost is the habitat and food source for the microbes. As long as you keep the soil microbes fed you will never have to do another inoculation. Red worms speed the process up as well if you don't want to do rapid composting or even add worm castings to your ripe (cooled) compost. It almost does mater what you do as long as you DO SOMETHING with compost. We cannot just take, we have to give something to the soil. Look at what Joel Salatin is doing by having his chickens spread his manure or use the manure mixed with hay and spread it in the spring.

Damned inspiring! Thanks for sharing that. I almost bought a dairy farm in New Jersey 20 years ago - the thing I remember the best was that the farmer had built an entire composting tea process to turn cow manure and wood chips into the liquid he spread on the fields which then grew the grass that fattened up his cows.... It was a beautiful system.

[@yellowbird5411]

Loved this video. It shows that making compost "tea" and using it as a fertilizer can be converted to a large-scale operation. This knowledge will be crucial to changing from chemical fertilizers to "homemade" fertilizers across the growing spectrum. That it can be done in a year flies in the face of all the naysayers who insist it takes years to improve the soil enough to rely on it for good crop yield. It is my hope that this information and formula is dispersed to all farmers who are looking for alternatives. I hope you publish this information in every farming journal and website you can find. It is likely you would be inundated with questions and other farmers who want to visit you to see your operation up close, which could be a bit overwhelming. But you are pivotal in helping farmers find a new way forward.

[@peopleoftheplants]

He’s getting a call a day. It is amazing! He’s loving helping people, he’s teaching on the farm and anyone with a van/rv can stay on the farm through harvest hosts, he’s also speaking at a few events and when his harvest is over he is hitting the road to meet farmers who have reached out to him. It’s exciting to see so many farmers getting excited about trying this method and Cory can help guide anyone willing to give it a shot. So keep reaching out to him and keep sharing.

[@sprucemoose1133]

My company has been manufacturing, selling, and providing professional consulting for liquid composting on a commercial scale since 1983; we're taking all that "farm" waste and liquid composting it into a bioliquid fertilizer. I am a soil and plant scientist (with a few other specialties in there too) and I can't express enough how seeing people put soil health above everything, which then provides the benefits (as with improved animal health), makes me smile and warms the heart. Early on in my horticulture education I was seeing that soil health appeared to be far more important than the "genetic" route that many professors were pushing...and it just so happened that my family business involved the manufacture and sale of equipment that conducted liquid composting in liquid waste systems or continuous inversion (in aquatic systems).

[@pinkelephants1421]

So fantastic to see someone not hidebound by the so-called 'traditional' ideas of farming; the irony of which is that 'traditional ideas' of farming are anything but. What this gentleman is doing is simply the application of science to what our ancestors largely knew for centuries. i.e. look after the soil and it will look after you. I wonder if this short film was ever broadcast on USA TV? It would go a long way to convincing other farmers of all stripes that this isn't simply 'more of that green crap', it saves you money, sequesters carbon in the soil, saves water, makes farms far more resilient to drought, pests, diseases & fluctuations in fertiliser and fuel costs, both of which are hot topics worldwide at the moment. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video was whether or not they were increasing tree cover. Australian farmers who planted about 25% of their properties found after roughly 3-5 years an increase in productivity of around 30%, due in no small part, to the ability of trees to assist with the sequestration of water into the soil & to bring nutrients to the surface. I also didn't see if they were also taking into account the contours of the land, using it to store/manage/spread water across the landscape accordingly & if they were continuing to plant monoculture alfalfa crops or mixtures of other grasses. Overall an impressive start. How we farm directly affects climate change. A quote I read yesterday said:"You can either continue to do hard farming or change to a sustainable system now. Do you want to carry on farming or do you want climate change to do you out of business?" Massive losses (financial & yields) worldwide of the climate change induced 2022 drought severity are a warning from nature. Food security IS national security for ANY country & climate change means we simply cannot rely on importing our way out of food shortages. Artificial fertiliser production & usage is a huge driver of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, not just in the USA. I'm watching this during the major drought of 2022. I wonder if their change in management practices have resulted in the farm being far more resilient to drought this year.

[@peopleoftheplants]

I’m curious to know more about trees and farm land. If you know anyone who is knowledgeable in this field, please let me know. The water story is the next story I’d like to tell. Restoring the small water table on any piece of land, is a huge part of the regenerative process. Cory is very lucky. He has a lot of ground water, ponds and water ways and I know he plans to plant trees. Plus the organic matter in the soil restores that soil sponge and always having roots in the ground helps, so when it does rain that water doesn’t run off or cause erosion. We are looking to do some contouring on the land I’m on, it’s only 16 acres but I’ll share that process when we do it. And I’d love to know more about planting trees on farm land. If you know anyone who specialises in this, please send me the details.

Wood is a high carbon source used for the production of fungal hyphae. Manure is used merely for its nitrogen component to feed the bacteria. Cow manure typically has more water and is more messy in the production process. Horse manure is much easier to work with and why we prefer it to other sources.

Hi Cory! for Johnson Su bioreactor mix -- 60% woody material, by volume, or by weight? Notes: 30% alfalfa hay, 10% high nitrogen source (spent grains from breweries, horse manure)

[@corymiller5538]

By volume. Easiest way is to get buckets similar to the orange bucket in the video. If you have 10 buckets, 6will be for woody species (includes leaves), 3 buckets for green material (includes all greens), and 1 bucket of high nitrogen (manures, spent grains). Doing it this way keeps it simple. Make sure you are soaking these materials before they go into your pile. Drain off the excess water and then mix the contents together. Lastly, set your chimney tubes and place your material into the pile. If you are in a colder climate you can add more high nitrogen to your mix to help you keep higher Temps. The recipe above is our spring mix (for Montana weather) as we make all of ours in the spring. Average high Temps in the spring are around 45 to 55 degrees F. Nights can be below freezing.

Hi, just a dumb question cos some bits have me stumped... One load of 25lb of compost thru the Kettle, into the main tank to have 1200 gallons of extract...how many acres will the 1200 gallons cover? FWIW we had it drummed into us when we were in a cropping district (in Western Australia) that there was Soil Chemistry (fertiliser that was actually needed), Soil Structure (gentle ploughing speeds, deep ripping for aerating etc) and the big missed one Soil Biology. We were doing cover crops etc but wish were using this extract but 20+ years ago, we weren't likely to find it Keep up the great work!!! (and great video too)

[@johndoh5182]

I'm REALLY happy to see more farmers/ranchers are getting it. The key is healthy soil and you don't need petrolium based chemical to make that happen. You just need to feed it with natural compost including cow/chicken manure and POW, you're off spending all the money for chemicals and turning soil AND you get healthier fields/crops. For grain this is harder, however in Asia where a lot of small rice fields exist these methods can still be used. I was inspired when I first saw these techniques, my introduction being Joel Salatin as I'm sure he was the first introduction for many people. We have land in Asia and are about to retire there, to manage a couple of acres of food, and in this case it will incorporate more permaculture since it's appropriate there for the scale we're dealing with, and of course at that scale it means no pasture or cows, but we can use chickens and goats through part of the property. This is the first time I've really seen such a mechanized system for dealing with large plots of land and I have to think this means it would get easier for large scale grain operations to make this shift.

[@peopleoftheplants]

For smaller plots you can replicate what Cory has done in a 5 gallon bucket and soak the seeds in the extract and spray it on as a soil drench before planting. Good luck!
