DIY Free Fertilizer from Weeds - Regenerative Gardening

[@jackseamon7064]

I don't see you failing at this because you aren't rushing things. You are working with nature moving at nature's pace. Thank you for the idea.

[@Migysuperfly]

I like the slight hint of chaos in your videos

[@casandrajohnsonberry7071]

Wow! This Jamaican Gardener thank you. We just retired here up in the hills and the land is loaded with weeds and challenges but it's very organic, so I'm very thankful to find your channel.

[@nurfuerverrueckte]

Not sure why but your videos carry an undertone of existentialism. I love it.

[@debrakasadine647]

I really appreciate you using what is available with no buying items!!! Thank you!!!

[@nandsall9492]

Weeds have become my friend since I made fantastic compost using only weeds. So with fertiliser and compost its win-win

[@alexpolidoro4126]

Love that wacky sense of humour as you explain in simple language! Glad I ran into this channel. Helps a lot given we need to keep our livelihood sustainable! Keep 'em coming! Cheers!

[@whitestar73]

I remember seeing this on another video. The bokashi composting (and I think we're doing a modified version of that) is a great way to utilize pest weeds & vines that you otherwise wouldn't dare put into a regular compost pile. I bought a 20 gallon rubbermaid can with a non-vented lid. Works great, and yes it does smell like the 5th circle of hell (hence keeping the lid on until you want to use it). As I understand it, you DO want to dilute it down since the acidity can be pretty strong as well as the nitrogen levels. I've got cucumbers going like crazy from just a little bit of this stuff.

I love watching videos like this, and its alot more satisfying being explained by a women SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍😍😍IM IN LOVE❤️

[@kiaya007]

Yeah i remember how bad the storms get in Fla. Lived in Winter Park for 15 yrs when i was young haha Been more than 25 yrs since i been there.

[@dropattieramsammy1462]

Very interesting tips thank you God bless you all always 😋 ❤️ 🙏

The reason weed tea fertilizers like this smell so bad is because it’s anaerobic bacteria and other microbes that have colonized. While not all anaerobic microbes are harmful, some can absolutely be extremely harmful to your soil and to your health, should you eat vegetables that have come in contact with them and have not been properly cleaned. There is no way of knowing which anaerobic microbes you are colonizing without looking at samples under a microscope. And, while the nutrients extracted during the brew can be beneficial to your plants, it’s a bit of a risky crapshoot whether or not you might actually be causing more harm than good, both to your soil and to yourself. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use anaerobic fertilizer teas. You can easily get a lot of the same benefits from these brews, by simply adding an oxygen source to your buckets so that you are producing aerobic teas, which pose far, far fewer risks of introducing harmful bacteria. While it’s best to use a constant source of oxygenation, like a fish tank bubbler, even just 4-5 minutes of vigorously stirring your bucket 2-3 times per day can add significant oxygen. And, best of all, you won’t have to deal with the god-awful smells of anaerobic teas.

[@sixhundred]

I would kindly disagree, the only danger with either aerobic or anaerobic is if you treat your lawn/garden with pesticides/harmful harsh synthetic chemicals or outsource your materials from unknown location/origins and have no knowledge of the garden practices used by source other than that I would advise every Gardener to give it a go unless you fall in the category I mentioned above, so if you are not 100% completely sure your materials are free of pesticides/harsh harmful chemicals you are not advised to proceed with procedure, now that being said your garden will benefit from both anae/aero.. as one producing fungal/anae and other bacterial/aero microbes which a good healthy soil needs to thrive.. the more diverse the better which from experience has been a huge benefit in the garden.. will add extra pop in color, taste, size and quality to your fruits, vegetables, flowers, lawn and shrubs.. the key for the anaerobic tea is it must be capped off with airtight lid if not then it is just weeds rotting in water which will produce the foul smell so if done correctly the only thing foul will be your neighbors envy lol.. don't discourage encourage, Cheers! Happy gardening..✨💚🌱💯

[@dennisoverholts8396]

Love it. I am going to be turning my back yard into something special and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

[@emapaposo]

Hi Christina! can't wait to try this! I'm in - subbed!

[@foreverfoodforest]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ibrstellar1080]

I always buy a lot of bananas and I always put the waste into a 200litre tank in the winter alongside nettles, dandelion and grass cuttings as they offer a great Pottasium, Nitrogen feed that's great for potatoes and tomatoes. Great video and happy gardening.

[@naturalyawd7814]

Awesome, i didn't think you had to dilute it though. I chopped up Comfrey leaves about once a week and spread over the roots of some plants.

[@helenaragon6539]

Its my favorite go to.......lol...it annoys my neighbors they always know when I'm making it.........its that potent.

[@Alianderfarm]

I’ve been making compost tea using weeds with great results

[@ana.catarina]

The channel Vida no Campo Horta e Animais (Country Life | vegetable garden and animals) recommended your channel, I loved it!!!

[@SunnyBermuda]

Great video! 👍😎

[@daveschreiner413]

Thanks for sharing!

[@begarza8218]

I LOVE THIS IM SO GOING TO DO THIS THANK YOU ❤

[@israelfernandez1533]

This is a very interesting concept. I just started planting my garden and the first year I had an abundant yield. This year I had very little success, tomatoes and cucumbers were the only crops. I'll be trying your methods. Thanks for sharing.

[@foreverfoodforest]

That's awesome for your first year!

[@melissaoneill5940]

Going to try this. Awesome. From Australia 🇦🇺

[@grasacramento6718]

Great model for using the valuable nutrients of weeds back into garden. Love it! I've never done anaerobic teas as such... but a stew like that may work for me. Thank you!

[@azfarsyed7082]

Good information

[@KrishnaNitinAgarwal]

excellently explained the process.....good work

[@kathymorgan1489]

Great idea!...just found your channel and subscribed. Loving all of your information. 💚 Perth Western Australia

[@foreverfoodforest]

Thanks and welcome! Florida climate and soil is very similar to some part of Australia.

[@realtorjames33]

Just hit the Sub button. Happened to find you randomly and love your content. Thanks for the advice

[@foreverfoodforest]

Welcome!

[@anand_naik]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful! Question: What do you do with the left over weed in the bucket after you strained the water out? Do you keep adding new weeds and water to the same bucket on top of the old weeds? Do you ever throw away the old weeds?

[@banananookfoodforest49]

You can pull them out and add them to a compost pile or as a layer in a lasagna bed. When we make weed tea/fetid swamp water we pull the solids out after four or five months and bury them two feet deep along with half finished compost and even whole kitchen scraps, then plant pumpkins or melons on top. Any weed seeds still hanging around aren't a problem then.

[@nurfuerverrueckte]

Mulch! Throw it on your beds on a sunny day. Your friends in the soil will love a wet blanket.

[@sixhundred]

Leftover weed in the bucket? You smoke it.. 😂, if you were referring to garden weeds add them to the compost pile/bin

[@rymburg]

Another excellent video..thanks again

[@freedom_born]

Geez I'm glad i subbed. Thanks for the videos Kristina

[@75blackviking]

Brilliant! I bet Florida has some gnarly weeds.

[@foreverfoodforest]

You would be right! Bermuda grass is the least of our problems. Right now I'm battling cat's claw vine. Nasty stuff - impossible to get rid of.

[@barbarakirby8168]

There are other chemicals in city water that don't gas off... I use a water treatment that is used in fish tanks to condition the water.

[@hyacinthABC]

Could you name the product - or at least components of the product that we could look for?

[@rymburg]

Ay Christina..excellent video nice raised beds..where can I find that type ?

[@اميرناظم-ك4ظ]

Nice dear ❤

[@rickbeals5967]

Great video, thanks. Question when we trim our cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini, squash etc. Think their leaves will work as well?

[@connydijkstra7781]

Can I use every weed in the garden? We have bindweed also coups I use that? Nice video

[@JohnnyNucc]

Can you add pruned off leaves from the garden Or Cut grass to add with weeds? Thanks

[@plant_boy_kev4041]

Another great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’ve been wanting to do this for the longest time after I saw @spicymoustache do it but I never saw the side by side comparison! One thing though, can you do this with weeds that are going to seed/have seeded? I have a good share of bermuda/crab grass growing in a huge patch along side my house and just want to get rid of it!

[@foreverfoodforest]

Thank you and yes, you can do this with weeds that have gone to seed. It's a great alternative to putting them in the compost bin where they might survive and spread. I got Bermuda and crab grass here too and it makes great fertilizer!

[@Steve_in_Texas]

Wow, what a great idea!! Thanks for taking the time to make and upload all your videos. 🙂🙂. Is it possible to use anything that you remove from the ground? I'm thinking of leaves and things from pruned plants, tree leaves, grass clippings, basically anything else from the garden. And I presume it's possible to throw any used items onto a compost pile? Keep up the good work!!

[@foreverfoodforest]

It's best with green matter like weeds and grass clippings. I haven't tried it with leaves, but it works great with flowers and anything that has gone to seed.

[@syedahossain9733]

Can i soak weeds with roots and some soil attached to it? I'm pretty new to gardening so I have no idea😢

[@BachelorsGalatta]

Really great

[@9af5]

Was thinking about a spigot to the bucket so I dont have to strain. Im not able to lift the bucket. Would also have a composting bag inside the bucket like a strainer. Would that work?

[@arunachalexoticsflowerspot8723]

Great nice 👌👌 New friend and new subs from Arunachal Exotic Flowers and Pots 🌿🍁

[@joldvs]

Hi, how long does it keep? Growing season is almost over here in Alberta and starts up again in mid April. Would it make sense to start gathering weeds now or wait till spring? Thanks.

[@LoveDaisyUS]

Hi. Was that tropical plants you are pulling up????

[@jacobotieno173]

What about if you us that fertilizer with out mixing it with

[@servantofgod5642]

Is it best to pull the weeds or can I go over them with a lawn mower ?

[@foreverfoodforest]

The lawnmower will make it much easier for large areas.

[@chriseverest4380]

Funky funky funky

[@cthomasct61]

Lol😂....I thought u were gonna say it smells like sh*t...but u said sheep 🐑...which can smell like sh*t....😂....thank u for tis great vid...I learned something..1❤

[@matthewj4145]

Great video. Do you think adding boiling water would possibly speed up the leaching process?

[@nurfuerverrueckte]

It's gonna kill the microbes. Even letting it sit in direct sun might be too much. I did an experiment with Lactose acid bacteria this Summer where I had 1 jarred colony outside and 1 inside for 3 days. The inside colony turned milk into cheese perfectly well in a couple of days, the outside colony barely did anything and took 5 days for a mediocre result. I believe around 20C°/68F° is a good temperature for them to thrive. Let me add that temperature fluctuations are probably worse than any off the norm but constant temperature.

[@matthewj4145]

@@nurfuerverrueckte Thanks, that makes good sense. The microbes are the key to this.

[@ralphpeed3596]

Talking about the smell. If you had of added comfy it would have been about twice as bad, but better for the plants.

[@foreverfoodforest]

Will be growing comfrey here once all the invasive rhizomes are removed!

No bloopers? 😎

[@curtisrandolph1887]

My spray bottle falls like that. Drives me crazy.

[@grasacramento6718]

mine has a little latch mechanism... you push it all the way down, and then you twist it to lock it in place. Then you can hold it by the handle. Does your have that feature?

Where do I find a woman like her?

She's fantastic.

[@fatbackcrowe2448]

You should not pay attention to this woman. She does not know what she is talking about and will cause you more harm than good!

[@hyacinthABC]

You should offer some evidence if you're going to make an accusation like that. She's not the only person online using this method, all with good results.

Evidence ? Try your college agg dept that does your soil test!@@hyacinthABC

The smell is terrible dont do this. My wife almost divorced me becoz of this trash😂

Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial video on how to make natural fertilizer using weed plants. Below is a list of comments about your video: 1. I noticed you just pulled out a taro plant which I don't think it's considered as weed. 2. I used to live in Miami and it's common to suddenly pour during the hot Summer day like what you went through in the video. 3. If you plant your lemongrass in ground, it will grow into a much bigger bunch and will also look prettier. 4. The turmeric plants you had shown look like from two different types, i.e. small turmeric root usually yields smaller plant while large one yields bigger plant. The leaves on a turmeric plant are very pungent and edible. I use it to cook "Rendang" (**). BTW, I find the best natural fertilizer for plants is your own urine. ** (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendang)
