Compost Tea vs Rock Dust - Which is the Better Organic Fertilizer ?

[@LeaHawkins]

I love these guys! You both are so passionate and your heart for helping us get out of this mess we're in is so encouraging to me. This has to be my favorite youtube of John's that I've watched bc of his guest Josh. He gave so much excellent advice. And of course I appreciate John to pieces too for all the help and video's he's made. Feel like he's a friend with such a big giving heart. Thank you both SO MUCH for giving your knowledge and insights to help us be successful at growing our own food. The banter and friendship between you is awesome and fun btw . :) God bless you guys.

[@stephenj9660]

John and Josh have both been inspiring to watch and learn from. I have been backyard gardening for several years now, and I always encourage those around me to start their own. So, thanks to both of you for encouraging others to take a different path. Producing fruits and vegetables for my family is truly rewarding and my kids are always excited to pick fresh strawberries, blueberries, peppers, mangos, tomatoes and so much more. I will continue to grow my own until I physically am unable. Thank you.

[@destinyfive]

Awe you guys make me cry. I love you so much. I just started a veg garden this year for the very reasons you talk about. You're both on my page! After this and a few other videos, I think you've probably saved my soil. I think both sound good. I'll add the extra helping of trace minerals to start with because my soil seriously needs it. Then I'll add tea. I'm off to support my locals and DIY tea. Thank you both so much!

[@scottsmith913]

John vs. Josh - We win. Started my own worm bin (non-invasive worms) 4 months ago, and working on just my second frothy tea batch. Use rock dust, compost tea, neem/Dr/ B., Eating well, feeling well. Thanks John!

[@BigggRoss]

You guys are awesome! and I say it is us the viewers who won :P Thank you both for all you have done and are doing. We all have our own part to play and I believe you both do your part most excellently!

[@debbietampasheher3682]

That was awesome. Ty

[@huertomipequeñoeden9425]

Bro I'm using both here in Mexico and my plants are looking better every day...thanks 4 your videos.

[@raynall3593]

I think the people win, you both are so passionate about the growing processes, you both agree to use both of them. So shows like this make a lot of sense. I will use them both.

[@abraham3901]

Got lots of insight from both. I started throwing biochar 1/4” - 1/2 “ size into the jora composter, then 1:9 blackcow plus some just local dirt.

[@monkeyprince5480]

To John and Josh, Love and appreciate all the videos you guys put together. Big Thank You for the spectacular introduction into Organic Gardening. 🌺💛🐉

[@recreant359]

Love ya John, but Josh's product has shown me directly in my own garden the power of his tea.

[@rawkingkong]

@Kev i am literally about to spray my first batch of boogie on my garden and small fruit trees! It has been brewing for 24 hours and it looks super dank. Good luck with your growing

[@ComeOnPelican91]

@@rawkingkong how'd it go if you don't mind me asking, the application of boogie brew?

[@abrahamc4981]

Great video. I will use both of course

[@Anamericanhomestead]

I love watching you guys together banting back and forth.

[@InHisName999]

I use it all. Compost tea, azomite, compost, worm castings, Sea-90, pure green, boogie frass and boogie brix. Thanks to John for all his teachings you made my life healthier with less stress growing things the right way.

[@GRTVO]

Wonderful video. I now have an allotment. The only thing is gardening is incredibly hard work. I am having to clear the grass but I was a bit extra and bought some trees and plants. No real experience of gardening. I will learn anyway. Thank you John for all your videos. You are a revolutionary.

[@harvdog26]

Much respect! I love how passionate you guys are!!! Thank you for all the great info!!!

[@GreeneGene33]

The fact that we are living in a hopeless food system, the way it is now. Can only be changed with knowledge, knowledge is power. Empower yourself with life giving information on growing your own healthy food for security and good health, and apply it to your lives everyday and the world will have no choice but to change and nourish us all with the love and care we put into it. Thank you both for your efforts to change the mind set of the people for the good of all, and the quality of the food we consume. Thrive on every one. Love peace and grow on.

[@reginaldoestremera3007]

Both products are good, I use both compost tea and rock dust in my raised beds peppers. RD for the soil and the compost so the microbes feed and in turn help the plants digest the nutrients. Other than heat stress I have had no bad experiences with either product and recommend both

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

One doesn't "waste" any tea if you don't mix more than one needs! :) Thanks guys!

[@deadbirdy7101]

I hate commercials that I have to watch but I dig your show very informative and I like it when you admit your mistakes and learn from them

[@shonitagarcia3222]

I agree to both! I've tried both and I like the ease of composting and making tea to feed the plants. And I like using the rock dust to help out my plants with a boost as well. I also make my own seaweed water to help out my starters and feed my plants with as well. Just let the seaweed rot in the water, easy peasy!

[@cravetheheat]

Love when you guys get together I respect your info so much I see the benefits to both I live in the middle of nowhere with only what i can order online I wish I could get the Boogie Brew to Canada in my location that would be awesome I tried to order from the site and it doesn't allow you to ship to Canada I was excited about the GYG discount bundles. John and Josh you guys are awesome its the new movement keep up the awesome work.

Pierre will loosen the reins on imports. Vote.

[@cmb3737]

thanks for your rant josh!

[@Anamericanhomestead]

I love both of these products. And oh yeah I like the fish protein as well. That stuff is awesome!

[@KeepinYouUp07]

Great video. I've acquired fine rock dust from a granite counter top business owner that works will granite and stones from all over the world. The way I've applied it is add to water, and stir. Thus creating that milky water. I then water my entire garden with it. I have definitely noticed improvements in yield and quality of vegetables. The best thing of all, I got it for free.

[@MrHexoffender]

KeepinYouUp07 I would not use granite because of the high radiation levels. Especially on edible plants.

[@find-me-at-Clumslay]

You both win! I've tried the rock dust with minimal results, but I have city water that smells like chlorine when you flush the toilet. So my next step is a boogie water filter and then I'll probably some tea after that. I like to try one thing at a time to see what actually makes a difference. Thanks for all your videos John!

[@Nacho-ur6yt]

Love the passion by both John and Josh I just started gardening and can't wait to use both products and see the results Thanks guys for another great episode !!!! Again I'm new to this and I know of Bogie Brew thru John But seems like Josh takes this one..... Sorry John you asked for comments and I'm game..... But like I said I know of Bogie thru John and have learned so much from GYG !! Thanks again Guys and keep up the awsome work

[@Schlingsi]

Compost tea for strong, healthy and disease proof plants all the way!

[@hgils]

After growing Papaya for years with acceptable results! One year I added rock dust “Azomite” to my trees in the back! WAMMO they went crazy producing 40% more fruit plus tasting much better. And size wise the fruits were thicker I am talking about the flesh inside the fruit was thicker . the weight was obvious as I picked them! So I know rock dust is a great addition here in south Florida. Mycorrhizae was always something I used when I could find it ! YES it makes a huge difference in fruiting plants (in my experience) Azomite applied one pound per 10 sq feet every 50-60 days . Also used Azomite on my Sour Sup and it is growing like a weed. When grafting I use Azomite on my (Mango - Avocado} root stock that I grow and use.

[@skyym3629]

The line used to be "If you build it, they will come" and that is exactly the way myself and millions of others remember it. Now, the like is "If you build it, HE will come" and there is no record in any library in any movie companies records that state it ever said, "If you build it, they will come". Our reality is changing and people don't even see it or realize it because everyone is walking around deaf, dumb and blind. This is exactly what the Bible says will happen in the last days. Thumbs up and thanks for all the videos, John. God bless bro.

[@cangryang3609]

'If you build it THEY will come' is from the Bible, referring to what God told Noah regarding the Ark. 'If you build it HE will come' is from 1998's Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner, referring to the baseball field he creates to attract the ghost of dead players.

[@jamesharrisonsr.4428]

where my dad was born in zacatecas mexico, their is a freshwater spring where the water comes out milky white and its heavy. its like 3 times heavier that regular water. it tastes so fresh and so clean,unlike any water you've ever tasted. my great grandma drank that water since she was a little girl and she live to be 105 years old.

viva la mejico . . . The mighty M should be Mejico not Monsanto. What an evil based business Monsanto is . . . About the 3 years from now comment, yeah, sounds good, but if history is any sort of teacher, whenever something becomes popular money gets involved, and money ruins everything it touches . . . I have seen it time and time again over and over. It is the most divisive thing of all . . . Does anyone know if the Espoma brand of organic products is ok to use, along with worm castings, rock dust, compost tea, etc? . . . fracking also has its issues, supposedly ruining the water in the area where it is practiced -- Hydrogen is the way to go. Making just one battery powered vehicle creates a carbon footprint greater than if they made one combustion engine. Tremendous amount of heavy metals go into that battery and then where to you put it when its at the end of its useful life -- another landfill ruining the soil 1/2 of forever -- very long half life. Hydrogen is the fuel of the universe.

It's all about your soil, your growing conditions, your specific needs, etc. I use compost and that works really well on most things but I notice a significant difference with my citrus and tropicals when I add the extra rock dust. I haven't tried the compost tea yet. I'm a firm believer in just trying different methods and finding what works for you. I'm glad that there are these products/options/choices.

Heart felt thanks for all you do! Now I want to get some boogie brew. (already have the rock dust bc of John) I'm going to have to watch all the video's Josh is in. But also will start taking the time to be listening to all John's great advice too. Phew! So many video's! Just have to say, I'm really glad John and Josh have such a meaningful friendship with shared values. For them sure, but it ends up benefiting the rest of us too. And they're fun to watch. Your positive exuberance is splashing on to the rest of us. We hear your passionate ideas and love them. God bless you guys AND your wife and girlfriend. I think all of you won! :)

I love you both!!! Thank you

[@jasonknight5045]

love josh! love john! great products , message, fun vid

[@staciezimm]

I think compost tea is easier to use and way cheaper as well. However, this video gave me an idea, what if you started the growing season with rock dust and then maintained the soil with the tea. I may try that this year. Happy growing!

[@VOTE4TAJ]

Josh, apart from spring water people of Hunza (u as in hood) Pakistan consume, they are physically very active, it's a valley surrounded by south side Himalayan Range. Each year monsoon floods spreads hundreds or thousands of tons of rock dust in fields. Same thing is applied when River Nile floods. I love all natural products, I make my own fish emulsion. (Could not find any in Calgary stores) Rock dust is easily available, compost tea, worm casting, fish fertilizer are wonderful additions. Tanveer Taj

[@BoogieBrew]

VOTE4TAJ Thanks for that fascinating tidbit.....What a dynamic enviro they live in.....Learn something new everything day

[@The990990990]

My vote goes to both products, they both come from the earth and they are both needed to grow hearty fruits and vegetables. I am just beginning my journey into the planting organic and eating organic realm. I have a lot to learn but I can tell you I've already watched a majority of your videos John and I have recommended them to some organic greenhouses that I've went out and bought their products to help support the cause. I've probably spent over 350 dollars already on the products you recommend already in the last 2 months in anticipation of this growing season, which will be my first season ever. I am encouraging everyone around me to do the same. I've created my own mix of soil and am very excited to see my results when my girlfriend and I will harvest over 50 plants that are doing great now.

How lucky you are to live in the United States!, have access to a wide variety of products, here in Chile it would be almost impossible to find specific products such as rock dust, in fact, the variety of substrates available as humus and compost are limited and poor quality. Here the best way to have good soil is to produce your own fertilizer, your own humus and compost. I make my own worm tea and it really has an incredible effect on my veggies! Is there any other way to get rock dust?

[@visualexplorer1]

Someone may already have commented with this info already, but if you want LARGE quantities of stuff like rock dust, kelp, etc for your garden, don't bother with the hardware store or nursery. Go to where the pot growers get their supplies. You'll find it there. This has been true for me in both Oregon and Northern California, and is probably true anyplace where pot's become more legal.

[@PrincessShaBooBoo]

Y’all are great! 😊

[@learnafricamemee1173]

you guys are so much fun. I've been laughing my head off. And josh is such a rapper!!

[@teemann8403]

the rockdust makes more robust, tolerant, healthy plants, the tea supercharges growth, i been making my own tea, with some of the open source ingredients, and the rock dust make it foam way better, i use both, i love the azomite, it is very high silica. next year i will try to get granite fines from the local quarry, and i have a few sources of compost, and found ewc for 55$ a yard. im going to try to grow peppers for profit, next season, using this season as seed stock. so i want to try to be cost effective, but grow the highest quallity product i can, and then sell seeds, and make a superhott probiotic pepper mash. and see if i cant market a raw health food for chiliheads. also dried peppers, and fresh. big thanks to you both, you have inspired me to go beyond organic, and try to use regenerative practices.

[@philcoppa]

what is ewc?

[@mrtomanator1]

John I didn't use rock dust when i made my soil for my raised beds but i have some now! I made a spray out of it. I put about a cup of azomite rock dust in a two gallon sprayer ( i use well water). What is your input on making it into a spray?

[@kencorp44]

sorry John, Josh won,but I love your videos! I have learn a lot from you. keep on truckin

[@dinosaur0073]

Maaaan...!!!! I've enjoy your conversation...I think both of you win. compose tea is organic and rock is minerals both needed for plant..thank you for info..let's grow..!!!👍😎✌

[@mtnmanrab]

John, your buddy is right. The compost adds the microbes that make the nutrients in the soil useful to your plants. Just rock dust is not even useful without the microbes and microbiology. Your soil is probably very nutritious but with out the tea and compost it's useless. One Yard Revolution..., did a blind study and found that adding rock dust to already very rich soil didn't help the aboundance of production much at all.

[@surferdude-ll2qu]

I thought the same but the rock dust feeds the micro and rock dust is calcium, magnesium rich and my veggies are ALOT,ALOT BETTER

[@debbietampasheher3682]

Abundance doesn't show how mineral rich the crops are.

[@theveganphilosopher1169]

this video is hilarious and awesome. john you rule and josh is always a character

[@alfalfa]

Based on some lab results (oneyardrevolution + alberta urban garden), composted leaves produced the same if not more of the beneficial nutrients compared to rock dusts. I don't think John is interested in the science of it all he is just out to promote these products for Josh (kickback?). I would think John would want to share this type of info but he is likely too busy to know about it. Win for the tea.

[@fatboysfarm3607]

Kyle Lester They were adding such a small amount of rock dust they were not good tests. Just like their BioChar tests, they are not inoculating it with any good nutrients. Worm castings are not enough. Stop by the farm and you will see BioChar get inoculated with tons of nutrients. I will be doing tests comparing different inoculants to compare those results at the end of season. To me their tests were more to prove John wrong than to do any actual testing. Like I said stop by the farm later this month. And this is not to get subscribers. I am not looking for subscribers by any means, just having fun.

[@Cryptlord9999]

Kyle Lester Where do you think trees get those nutrients/minerals? From the microbes in the soil that break down rocks and rock dusts. "Some of the most agriculturally productive and useful lands are areas that formerly held glaciers (thousands of years ago), the reason being is because of the "rock dust" created when the glaciers moved across the landscape. This mineralized the soil. Such great soil scientists as Julius Hensel and Sampson Morgan, whose findings where later replicated by Dr. Charles Northern and Albert Savage in North America, used soil remineralization and regeneration techniques. They employed ground stone dust or sea vegetation and green (plant) compost, and the periodic aeration of plant or tree roots through cultivation. The results were indeed phenomenal. Marketed spinach grown on ordinary soil contained 600-1600 parts per billion of iodine, whereas spinach grown on re-mineralized soil contained as high as 640, 000 parts per billion. Testing revealed that various vegetables grown Savages "mineral garden" possessed as much as 400% more iron and other minerals than crops grown by standard methods. Current day results are equally astounding. In the mid 1990's Robert Bruck at North Carolina State University studied the effects of remineralization on a severely declining forest in the Appalachian mountains. One year after an application of 175 lbs of rock dust/acre, the tissue levels of calcium and magnesium in both Red Spruce and Fraser Fir were shown to be enhanced from 12 to 29%, and soil levels of exchangeable calcium and magnesium had increase an average of 14%. Additionally the remineralized plots had 39% fewer dead trees then the non treated plots. The rock dust (Planter II) used in this experiment contained 5% calcium, 5% sulfur, 0.5% magnesium plus minute percentages of 37 trace elements with virtually no nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium. Those are impressive results for such a light application of a product with such low nutrient content. More importantly, according to conventional wisdom most of the trace elements supposedly have no nutrient value for plants." -Working with Nature, Shifting Paradigms by Heide Hermary.

Fatboys Farm Boogie Base is made up of: 1/3 WormGoldPlus, 1/3 Aged Wood Chip Compost, 20% BioChar, 8% Cascade Minerals, 5% Sea90 Sea-Minerals: ALL INOCCULATED with an AMINO-RICH Boogie Tea! (Check our Open Source Compost Tea Web Page for more info - We are BIG on nutrient-rich BioChar Innoculation!) Thank you for promoting better awareness on responsible BioChar improvement.

[@alfalfa]

Fatboys Farm Steven added rock dust at the rate of 1lb per ft/sq just like John recommends. BioChar is another discussion but he did inoculate it with compost as well. In fact he never said he added worm castings to his biorchar did he? He said in his video he added compost, I'd add both if it was me next time. I added biochar to all of my pots last year and got pretty much the same yield as the year prior with no biochar, mine wasn't very scientific but it might be a better long term solution to retain water and minerals/microbes. However my post was about rockdust vs leaves and its clear well composted leaves provide adequate levels of trace minerals (more Macro and many Micro than rockdust) for a fraction of the cost. This being said if you have no leaves, buy a bag of the rock dust and benefit from it. Oh and their tests were fair and had legit lab tests run so regardless of what they were hoping to accomplish I feel the tests were not skewed in their favor. Do you? If so how?

[@ChristopherPisz]

I dont think anyone argues that rock dust put minerals into soil, but I think the argument is whether or not it takes 1000 years for it to break down into a form that plants will take up. If you can do a side by side experiment and send the plants to the lab, we'd know for sure.

[@SubtleHustle72]

You guys rock-dust! No cascade here in Colorado! John, what are a few other brands you could recommend? Boogie Brew is such a treat! Thanks

[@SimpleAntLegion]

Just use both 😉

[@vyoufinder]

I never use compost tea. Instead, I add compost in the fall on top and again till some in come February. Since I'm growing in sand, I don't need rock dust. Just actual compost, scat from herbivores in my area, and about as much water as I can get. Whenever I used compost tea, my plants hated it. I think because I don't have much "buffer" in my sand. Maybe getting the strength right is "tricky." Whatever it is, they hate it. However, they love real compost mixed into the soil and the organic matter it provides. I usually give them another little topping of my finest compost/scat mix about half-way through the season. The other thing sand does in the mix is.. if there are any places that would get soggy, the sand will collect there and create a natural barrier to slow it down. I also add sand to potting pix for my houseplants and I think it makes them stronger because it gives them something to "bite" into and hold it more firmly. In 40 years of gardening, I've never bought anything to "feed" a plant, yet I don't know anyone who's had as nice a garden as mine. So my desert answer is: pure rock dust with compost, but no teas ever. Just brew your tea at the same time you shower: once a week, and you'll be fine ;)

Love this video guys! I love the battle going here haha I'd have to say I laughed a few times. So I have a question. Could you do both but maybe at separate times? I'm assuming applying both t the same time would be a little too much for the plants.

I’d choose boogie brew over rock dust any day!
