[@priayief]

I'm a cheap, lazy, veteran gardener and I've always been intrigued by the concept of compost teas. Many years ago I started doing my own trials in various raised beds, growing identical crops in different beds and applying various types of composted teas in some beds and the "non-tea" ingredients in the others. This way, I can compare the results to see if a particular "tea" is worth the effort. My latest test was with comfrey, of which I have an ample supply. I grew tomatoes and pepper in two separate beds and applied a generous comfrey mulch to one bed and applied several applications of comfrey tea to the other. There was no significant difference. Except, of course, brewing the tea was a little more effort. I haven't yet found a "garden tea" that shows me it is worth the effort. Yet, I view a lot of videos (like this one) that recommend the practice. I wonder, is there anyone else out there that has done similar trials and found any measurable improvement? I'd love to hear from you.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Interesting. Yes, I find an measurable improvement in the foliage (amount, size, and color) with several compost teas. If teas don't work for you, then what does?

[@priayief]

@@CountryLivingExperience Long ago I realized I couldn't objectively compare different methods from season to season: too many variables (including an unreliable memory). I'm wondering if your findings are based on comparative trials in the same season or trying different things in different seasons? I haven't yet found anything beyond compost that gives me noticeably improved results, although I'm still searching for "the secret." My biggest "discovery" was "no till" and that was about 6 years ago. I devoted two of my raised beds to that method and compared it to several of my traditionally tilled beds over a two year period. I found no significant difference in production except there were fewer weeds in my "no till" beds. I couldn't believe it after the first year - looked too good to be true, so that's why I tried it for the second year. Same result!

I've juiced veg such as broccoli and spinach aswell as kelp and added to simple water at a 1 to 1 ratio with great results.

Thats for the most nitrogen. However even a production plant can leave behind the nitrogen nodules in quite large quantities.

[@deewells1965]

Nice! What I was looking for was the problem of soil porosity and aeration. Lot of areas have hard, dense clay that I can't imagine has any subsurface access to N2. Breaking up hard soil would seem to increase erosion. I have been looking for info if legumes can transport N2 in air from leaves to root. That would seem to offer an efficient mechanism to attract rhizobia to the root.

[@papasfunnyfarm9703]

When I was farming, I always bought a packet of “inoculant” to mix into the tub of legume seeds. Clovers and alfalfa. Because it’s actually the bacteria on the roots that “fix” the nitrogen into the soil. Then disc(till) the plants into the top 3 inches. No deeper than 3 inches! Then I would chisel plow down to 10-12 inches, just to loosen the ground. Takes nature 1000 years to build 1 inch of topsoil. We can do it faster.

[@deewells1965]

@@papasfunnyfarm9703 I see you are well informed. Have you ever checked how far down nodules go? Lima bean roots certainly go down more than 3 inches, maybe even 12 inches. I should sometime measure how deep the nodules form, but my initial post was based on seeing nodules deep enough to question the dogma that nitrogen fixers simply access N2 from surrounding air. I could envision access through dissolved gasses. Amount of N2 is then sensitive to solution flow and mixing, like the effect seen when monitoring pH of a solution and switching stirring on and off to change CO2, seen as changes in pH. If so, pressurized irrigation would force more solution N2 into the soil. I have wondered if this would result in increased nitrogen fixation. Someone out there probably already knows the answer, but not anything I have encountered.

[@papasfunnyfarm9703]

@@deewells1965 I believe your idea has much merit. I am no soil or plant scientist but plants could store nitrogen internally and we would never see the nodules? I believe that some of the plants’ best work is the breaking up of soil by deep root penetration. That in itself would complete your thoughts of having direct water carrying nitrogen down into the soil. The current practice by some farmers of planting brassicas or other large root plants work wonders on breaking up hard pan soils. Louis Bromfield was a famous author who wrote fiction, but also owned Malibar farm, here in NE Ohio. He was very much concerned about farming and particularly about soil. He even had huge events at his farm right after World War II concerning building soil. He would use a giant Rototiller on the back of a tractor. But he also wrote a few nonfiction books about life on the farm and showed photographs of alfalfa roots down 15 feet when they cut away the dirt! He was actually slated to be the next department of agriculture chief, but his presidential candidate did not win. :-) However, some very recent recent studies are inclined to say that extra nitrogen is not needed as much as we had thought. But I don’t know if that’s independent science or clouded by the current narrative about global warming?

Love this. I never thought about bone/blood meal being possible disease. Makes sense to me! I’ll try plant based. Anyway I have been looking to buy them and they are scarce right now d/t shortages.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Glad it was helpful. Everything is scarce and I don't think it is going to get better. Glad there are free sources out there to be had.

Any possible disease would be killed of in the water removal/ drying process

[@deniseward002]

@@rich8085 Yes and that is why our soil is denured because we don't return our effluent into the soil (instead we put it into our water supply! Are we really as intelligent as we think doing such things?) Also the dead bones and bodies of animals and humans don't go into the soil. We need to bring everything back home!

Thank you. Go Green!

Great video Be careful with alfalfa. Around here everyone sprays their alfalfa crop for feed. Found that out the hard way with what I thought was unsprayed straw for mulching Had to abandon my huge garden and bring in new soil $$$$$

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks for the heads up on the alfalfa.

Hi, thank you for his great video! Can you make a video on how to amend wood chip garden that’s not producing? Testing of soil, amendments etc. thanks in advance if you consider it.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I have a ton of those type of videos in my archives. Here is a link to the playlist for our garden....kzbin.info/aero/PLe8gvCbPFkez3UdewokAHG6RT0duNF6_x

I’d love to see you look into knf (Korean natural farming)

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I'll check it out.

I have the $45 expensive book. They do anaerobic fermentation of your crop residues. Those microbes eat (rot) the hydro carbons but leave the vitamins, amino acids.

I have the $45 expensive book. They do anaerobic fermentation of your crop residues. No exact info on what the microbes eat (rot) but leave the vitamins, amino acids& minerals intact. So use compost tea for the aerobic bacteria & JADAM. Fermented for the vitamins & amino acids

I make horse manure tea, living near a horse track in Australia 😀

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool. Hopefully they are not feeding those horses too many antibiotics.

[@rickthelian2215]

@@CountryLivingExperience I get worms in it Red wrigglers so it must be fine, but yes it can be concerning in some cases.

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

Where I live (and grew up), there are more millionaires than in any other part of Canada. So what you ask: Because all around my city are horse stables (only rich people can afford a horse today). I get horse manure that is at least three years old and put it on my gardens. It is cheap, fermented and great for all my gardens.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

That is a blessing!

[@damienmalley4740]

Try and find old pile of manure. I've been using manure with mixed results until yesterday i dug out a different spot and I hit black gold. This time around I'm going to bin the worms rather trying to sort them out. lol I spent hours.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Old manure is great.

[@karenstevenson1770]

Why don't you make your teas in burlap, an old tee shirt, that way you don't have to strain with anything else except the homemade bag ( then you can put the manure in with your compost, garden to add to the soil, especially if you're starting a new bed for next yr )?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I could do that.

[@chinny4real]

Just stumbled on this and its very informative. Can the urine be poured on the soil days before planting?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Glad it was helpful. Yes you can. Just make sure it is diluted.

[@zigman3105]

Nice hoop house bro

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thank you

[@bankrollBrittish]

You had me at pee in a bucket 😅. Put seriously great recommendations and I can't wait to try a few methods like the teas

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Lol! Thank you

[@joegriffith9585]

Geese droppings(2-4-2), growing legumes in the same beds adds some nitrogen(5-10%)

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool

[@samihyytiainen4314]

Great video but I would like to point out that bonemeal and bloodmeal can both be warmed to temperature that kills any bacteria or virus. Actually to crush bones its often advised to dry it in high temperature like 200C which itself kills almost anything.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Interesting point. I will re-look at how they produce it and potentially reevaluate.

[@skinnyWHITEgoyim]

Take animal bones and boil them for several hours in a huge pot over a campfire and then let them cool. Sit them all out to dry for a couple days and then they'll crumble easily into powder and the boiling process will sterilize any pathogens.

[@racebiketuner]

Yup. A solar oven works great for this. I go to 122C/250F minimum. Very few pathogens can survive this temperature for more than a few seconds. 200C/392F is super safe. I use a 30k BTU BBQ grill for higher temps or larger batches.

[@Josef_R]

You don't need to let urine rest, but you do need to dilute it by about 8:1 with water.

[@54Laurav]

8 urine to 1 water - or vice-versa?

[@Josef_R]

@@54Laurav 1 part urine and 8 parts water.
