Episode 12 - Manure Tea: Making Poo-Poo Work For You-You

[@gosia3032]

Awesome recipe ! Thank you 🙏

[@adeleganolayisade1904]

I put the chicken manure in an old pillow case and drop in 4 part water that helps from getting the debris out. Finally, mix the liquid fertiliser to 10 part water before applying to the plants after 4 days. I will add the local microbes by adding local garden soil and brown papers thanks for the tips

[@africanhomestead]

Sounds great!

[@icejunki]

Thanks man, great stuff, can't wait to try it.

[@africanhomestead]

Have fun!

[@DavidCruz-bx2jk]

Hello thanks for the information I will give your recipe a try. To solve you problem of unbroken down manure what’s is faster and effect if you have a Weedwhacker you can run that in the bucket with your dry matter that way it’s speeds up all the process.

[@cqammaz53]

I like your soup and I like most busy people will forget to stir but I saw a video where the man added an air pump holes with the stone on the end to constantly air rate the soup. Also I.m just using rabbit manure as that is all I have.

[@kaka_kaka28]

you can use an air pump for aeration .

[@samt1705]

Already been watching John Kaisner right since I got interested in natural farming in 2016. 👍🏼

[@cowancheri]

Best description so far awesome thanks

[@WhistleThicket]

Just subbed from the facebook page! What a fun and different homesteading adventure you have started!

[@africanhomestead]

Thanks, man! I'm enjoying your channel too!

[@WhistleThicket]

It's neat to see what you can grow, that I can't!

[@daleval2182]

Be safe there, I'm hearing scary stuff brother, own a few shot guns, unreal, good video

[@wilsonmatunda4937]

This is a fantastic knowledge! On becoming self sufficient. Thanks for sharing. How long can this tea stay in the bucket?

[@samt1705]

We prepare 'Jivamrut' here in India. Please look it up. It's quite popular among the natural farming community here.

[@markoorevic1385]

Could I try using pig only or chicken only manure, with hot water to destroy most of badmicroorganisms? And after some time add yeast and sugar along with garden soil to create good microorganisms faster?

[@twentyfour-niggas]

Did it works?.🤷🏿‍♂️

[@markoorevic1385]

​@user-jc5pz6ez1f it did but instead of brewing compost tea from manure I now make it with water and stinging nettles. In the end I opted for the chop and drop method along with adding chicken manure on top of soil around established plants

[@lisabooker6405]

Loving all your videos! Excellent!!! Excellent work!!!!

[@africanhomestead]

+Lisa Booker - Thank you! Thank you! (and I love all your comments!)

[@DeliasFarmTV]

Nice vid mate. Just want to ask. How often are we going to apply it in our vegies? And the quantity? Thank you.

[@opheliabawles9646]

Greetings from Morocco. I was wondering if l could do something with the all goat droppings strewn around everywhere and now l know. Noice.

[@africanhomestead]

Good luck!

[@bill.Latham]

Great video, when making manure tea should it be aerated and use molasses also?

[@dennisseeker36]

my guess is i can use an areator and air stone ?? ( the biggest one i could find local ) dilution ratio ? ( will be chicken manure that i will use ) how about storage? will this store or do i need to use quick ?? i am going to try this on a bigger scale for field corn a hector sized field for basal fertilizer

[@africanhomestead]

Great questions! Yes, an aerator would be very beneficial and will also speed up the process. The dilution ratio I use is 1 part tea to 10 parts water. See what kid of results you see and adjust as necessary (be patient). Also, since this is an aerobic tea, you should use it within a few hours of turning off the aerator. However, keeping the aerator on will keep it alive and well for longer!

[@SuperSuperRaza]

Awesome video 🇰🇪🇨🇦.

[@africanhomestead]

Thanks!

[@sibiya2000]

1. Can I continuously aerate the tea? 2. Can I add worm casting in it? 3. Can I add a little bit of rock dust?

[@gmarounf7472]

Rock dust will do nothing for it, rock dust needs to be broken down for nutrients to become available. What you want with compost tea is a soluble source of organic nutrients. Worm Castings is great if you brew it with cow, or chicken manure compost (for added nutrients) and aerate it for several hours, it will provide beneficial microbes...

[@sibiya2000]

@@gmarounf7472 thank you for your feedback

[@joeythegent3888]

Hey Eric I just got done fresh chicken maniure from my local slaughter house, in one month will be planting season, trying to prepare it before hand

[@africanhomestead]

How did it work out for you?

[@roymadison5686]

fresh chicken manure is to "hot" for the garden. you need to compost it , otherwise it will burn the plants , or not allow germination.

[@racelplacido2599]

Tha ks for sharing.. how much sugar should i add in a 16l bucket? Thanks

[@TacoStacks]

Nice vid, keep them up!

[@africanhomestead]

Thank you. Should I call you Mr. Stacks, or just Taco? :-D

[@kreeetin]

Great video! But I think that bubbling would most likely be CO2 from sugar metabolism.

[@tanielacagilevu9440]

Bucket to bucket..✅

[@reginainekuku8547]

How do we dilute the manure tea before using in the garden

[@africanhomestead]

As a starting point, I would recommend 1 part tea to 10 parts water, applying every 7-14 days. Of course, much depends on your soil and environment. Patience and observation are your best friends. Adjust as necessary.

[@CC-gf3nt]

What is the application please? Did you, for example, use a cup per plant? Thank You. What is your take on this mix for marijuana, application?

[@africanhomestead]

As a starting point, I would recommend 1 part tea to 10 parts water, applying every 7-14 days. Of course, much depends on your soil and environment. Patience and observation are your best friends. adjust as necessary.

[@joyceduesel7966]

So I have straight chicken manure. I should not use that for garden veg

[@africanhomestead]

Great question! I would not recommend that. Chick manure is very high in nitrogen and will easily burn garden vegetables. It's best to compost it first or work it into the garden soil in the fall and let it "mellow" over the winter. If used in making "tea" it quantity should be limited. Remember, as a starting point, I would recommend 1 part tea to 10 parts water, applying every 7-14 days. Of course, much depends on your soil and environment. Patience and observation are your best friends. Adjust as necessary.

[@TonysBrickHouse]

Nice video. Subed.

[@africanhomestead]

Thanks!

[@burleighboy3861]

Great clip mate.....Thanks...... from Oz

[@SantisandKisin]

do you let it sit uncovered, pls? i got mine on balcony, should i cover it or not, pls?

[@africanhomestead]

Great question! I left mine uncovered. Also, you will want to keep it out of the direct sun. Thanks for watching!

[@DIYSolarandWind]

I just found your channel

[@africanhomestead]

For some reason, KZbin threw your comment over in a spam folder. Regardless, welcome!

[@rubyeagan778]

I am enjoying your videos. How did you decide to go to Liberia? Did you know anyone there?

[@africanhomestead]

That's a great question, Ruby! My wife and I originally came here on a short-term missions trip back in 2007. We came with a friend who was from Liberia. In 2011, we moved here with our four kids to lead a "business as missions" company. The hope was to run a successful for-profit business that provided jobs and then use the profits to help start churches, schools, clinics, etc. Well, let's just say that didn't work out too well. We were only able to cover our expenses and decided to close after 18 months. Since then, we became more traditional missionaries, focused on church planting, pastor training, and community development (primarily agriculture, livestock, and family preservation). I decided to make this channel to document our transition from living on-grid in the capital city to off-grid in a remote region of the country (and all the lessons learned and skills developed along the way).

[@peace4peaceful]

Noticed the..pig poo..at the beggining. A lot of people will not use pig poo due to pathogens ect. Yet no one mentions cow poo. Cows get bovine disease including mad cow and foot n mouth..just saying. Nice vid and good info. Btw a portable battery driven fish tank of live bait aerator will save you stirring your mix. 😊

[@daleval2182]

Try molasses
