Best Organic Soil Amendments to SuperCharge Plant Growth

[@jessicablackwell3572]

It's your channel, John. Talk about what you want to talk about!! You taught me how to garden, and I trust you.

[@Pinkenstein]

Jessica Blackwell Yeah! ✊

[@democolor42]

I just love these guys, especially how genuine they are when they argue, agree, disagree, I just like them and trust them and learning a lot from their videos, and I AGREE WITH THEM ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THUMS UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HalfQuickFarmer]

Crazy to rewatch this episode years later during the corona pandemic. Seems josh was correct in referring to John as a light in so much darkness. Love these guys. Together the energy is great!

[@sarahs.9340]

This guy is electric! Got to love his passion. Have him on more. We need to learn.

[@ilikewasabe]

john and josh the organic monk preaching the good soil

[@pressx2select]

I know this is a small shout out but i bought a warm bin last year and just read "worms eat my garbage"!! its helped my garden so much. so super excited to hear it plugged in the video!!!

[@SARJENT.]

Josh! Where is your KZbin channel?!

[@timfreeman2909]

good to see Josh back for 2017

[@lareinaolson3460]

I love the John and Josh combo! Josh! I enjoy hearing what you have to say no matter what I personally believe! Personally, I am confident enough in my political opinion to not feel so offended when someone says something that I do or don't agree with. Thank you for sharing your position and for challenging my thoughts on some things. Keep on growin'!

[@BoogieBrew]

Hell yeah LaReina! Well said......That's what I'm talking about, differences make the world go 'round and we can all learn from those with alternative politics, too.

[@dustman96]

John, please read. Everything both of you said about gardening and larger issues is on point and needs to be heard. I personally think this is one of your best episodes ever. I love it when I hear people say say "do it for free" even though they have product to sell. I always thought Josh pushed his products too much, but he redeemed himself entirely in this episode. Thanks, and keep being the change! You and Jake Mace (and OneYardRevolution and Plant Abundance) have inspired me more than I can say, and because of you guys I (and a couple neighbors) have started a neighborhood gardening collective. I really believe it is one very important part of the path to a good future. Keep it up and please never sell out because we all need you guys so much. Keep on growin!

[@Warrior-In-the-Garden]

WOW- this had me in tears today. 4 yrs later needed more than ever,

[@christinaatkinson6580]

You guys make a great team keep it up! Josh I 100% agree, you're spot on, thanks for speaking your mind and heart. My personal belief is that when we begin to learn to grow veggies from natural seeds, and eat the way John is suggesting, we will begin to have a return to the ability to think for ourselves...and in turn recover the ability to appreciate and care for our great mother. Thanks to you both!!

[@marystone4811]

John and Josh keep it up!!!!!! Love you!!!!!!!!!

[@khanflict26]

Josh i love your passion. John thanks for all you do. Peace.

[@jamesreese2210]

These two gentleman are dishing out a lifetime of invaluable advice..If they go off topic ignore it and learn to appreciate these amazing videos that happen to be free..

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

If you live near the sea, kelp in your compost is a good source of trace minerals.

[@livingbytheway]

it's a blessing to have both of you guys giving and helping with your advice........Wow......thank you.....

[@donnmann6773]

I have started my own small farm this year. I hope to get certified organic in the coming years. I have a few compost bins going. One just wood chips all made from dead fall or pruned trees from my property, one of leafs, one of a mix and one for the wood chips from my chickens. I have a worm bin and I have made a mineral mix of rock dusts and kelp meal ext. my practices are a mix of all the information from you and others like you on KZbin. So thank you! 🤙🏻

[@toddallvord9331]

Josh you are right , thank you Brother. Everything is free and everything that is free is better.

[@eveny119]

Watch it again.

[@veiledmaid4029]

Yesh! Another Josh and John video! Thank you for sharing so much vital information. That was a cute, yet terrifying little rhyme... 'Without soil, how you gunna survive post oil' So very true. You two work so well together. It's easier to learn when you've a smile, and every video you produce together is so joyful, no matter the subject. You're a winning team. Team Green!

[@eddiegazeta7736]

Thanks for the knowledge John & Josh! Boogie Brew has done great things in our garden.

[@sylviegagnon3957]

Wow, you two are one of a kind. I could listen to you forever. I support for Josh's Channel. As a French Canadian, let me tell you that I feel sorry for you having to bear with such a delusional President. Keep sharing the HOPE 👍

[@jamesstratton9552]

Watching this in 2023, more relevant than ever....love your work, and as for the energy and passion from the boogymeister.....Words fail me....BIG Love

[@PickledPoacher]

Lots of research suggesting living worms and the related burrows are a critical component of a healthy soil column. worm burrows help to distribute other microbes as well as provide roots a rich environment

[@Cali-Girl]

WOW, amazing show and I love this guest's insights and enthusiasm. So very inspirational.

[@omnispo]

Loved your videos for years

[@anniegaddis5240]

Wasn't surprised he said BEER. Just got through watching a guy showing how fast he can make compost by mowing his huge lawn for the greens and adding a huge pile of hardwood chips for the browns, and then dumps a can of coke, a can of beer, and a cup of ammonia onto the pile. Covers it in dirt, puts a tarp over that 5-foot pile, and in 2 weeks the whole thing has composted into a beautiful crumbly dirt. I didn't understand it all, but then he explains how the beer hops etc do their job. I don't drink beer, but will get some to try out on that HUGH pile of hardwood chips I have. It would be wonderful if I didn't have to wait 4 years for it to break down enough for me to use. (could have done without the political drivel though)

[@patfarmer5371]

I think I might have seen that video a long time ago but could you link to the video please? Thank you

[@SunriseArtsCinema11]

"in Cuba they chose love" LMFAOOOOOOOOO

[@BoogieBrew]

yeah I agree that was way off base, I really shoulda', coulda'....woulda' said they chose to love hard work of gardening, (rather than hating to starve instead).....

[@aarons4115]

That's where I checked out.

[@pheresy1367]

@@BoogieBrew There is a great documentary called "the Power of Community", which is based on the same event mentioned. It's about how Cuba survived their abrupt withdrawal from Soviet aid, when the USSR collapsed, and could send no more oil, or petrol. I never idealize Cuba, but in this case, they did prioritize assurance of everyone's survival during that time...it was through government coordination, and resource allocation, along with citizen action. They were left with almost no petrol, so they cleverly rationed what they had left, then had to learn "old timey" organic ways of growing food, everybody was issued a bicycle, and (barely) survival amount of food. Every square inch of arable land was transformed into vegetable gardens. They invited old folks that remembered how to drive oxen to teach the modernized young, thus ignorant. The soil had been ruined from decades of chemical fertilizers, and needed to be restored. It sure contrasted with the other Soviet dependent state, North Korea, where millions were left to starve. The term "love" is over generously applied, I'm sure, but their success was a result of an unprecedented spirit of cooperation, along with their government that did take correct action. On a national level, that is as close to "love" as anyone will ever want to get... heh heh. I am writing here in the midst of this pandemic, and I ponder what the US has become...and is turning into. When the stream of foreign goods gets turned off like a tap (including oil), will we choose "love"?

[@PWinmusic]

I grabbed 30 red worms, 30 baby worms and 30 grown earthworms. I have a mix of two soils ,cardboard, old roses, coffee filters and old veggies and fruits. What am i missing? Should i add rock dust?

[@BoogieBrew]

Great sounding blend, go for a couple of pounds of rock dust for each 10 sq ft of garden space. Also, we totally spaced BIOCHAR. (!). Up to 5% of your soil mix can benefit enormously from biochar, it is a superb "regulator" in the soil engine.

[@mbharatm]

nice discussion, liked the fact that this was a live event, not snipped to remove disagreements... also the guest is intense, maybe too much so, but he feels honest, and I liked the fact that he didn't plug his own product as being the best, rather he actually said that it is A PREMIUM product which can be like a high octane addition to the basics of gardening

[@maximtuller4583]

Love Joshes rants, very enlightening.

[@dustman96]

Yay, Josh! This guy is rad.

[@AaronCowanMusic]

Your videos have been very inspiring, I'm finally growing food. We are thriving and having fun, thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!

[@IndefiniteAdventures]

I just love watching the two of you. Education with flair!!!

[@gloriayoung392]

I like Josh, I love his rant

[@ewellacres]

I think it is good to talk about balance in NPK. It is important to remember that the big 3 are good to keep in mind, but soil becomes so powerful due to the blend from multiple avenues in compost.

[@DedeSoulchild]

John, what about limited patio backyards with a container garden only. I cannot put a compost or worm bin (neighbors are close). What would be soil amendments I can use before growing my spring food?

[@RachaelLeValley]

DO WHAT YOU'RE ABLE. very very cool!

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I'm living in nyc . I just started making compost smoothies but I need to do more compost

[@nadsdave]

You two are so cool. Watching you made me feel like I was hanging out with sincere, good hearted & similarly dedicated and impassioned people. Good for you. Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me to become a "tea head" , by introducing me to the phrase bc I was leaning that way already. I can't wait to learn more. I am also into horticultural oils and I want to start using my plants for essential oil mixes. I can't wait to find out what you guys think/do. Thank you for existing. I learned so much. Had you not called my attention to the GMO/mulch chemical treatment ect. I would not have addressed it. I wrote down the phrase "polluting the compost food chain." Very impactful. Keep it up you two. Another thing I ABSOLUTELY loved was the amount of science casually dropped all over the place. Tip of my hat good sirs.

[@Moodysmilez]

I requested 4/20 off. :) John can you grow Pot? Just wondering cause we can't here in Texas yet.

[@kennethpayne2019]

I have a tumbler in which I put grass clipping and leaves but it never turns into soil. After 6 or so months I remove the stuff and put into the soil. How can I make compost in my tumbler ? It gets about 4 hours of Sun light,

[@BoogieBrew]

Add 5% to 10% alfalfa for some "heat", (helps in thermo-breakdown). Add wood chips, newspaper shreds, etc. Turn the tumbler as often as possible.

I enjoyed these vids very much. Love hearing different opinions and views too. Thanks.

Boogie brew, I would like to get some Organic Solution Premium Worm Castings, which you advertise on your site, but when I go to order it, a different plain Organic Solutions Amendments package comes up, with nothing in the description saying it is the Premium Worm Castings. How can I buy the Real Organic Solution Premium Worm Castings? And if that is it, then why doesn't it say that?

Can you use old organic tapioca flour for compost? Old wheat flour?

Hey guy's, keep up the good work's, I'm new to the realization of actually how bad the war on food has become . My Health has finely come to a point it's letting me down . Then to learn through you & many other educational sources of what's really been going on , with our required nutrition's . I grew up living with a great family garden , & raising our own beef cattle & live stock . I've enjoyed creating my own raised bed garden's & the result's from them . Unfortunately I fell into the working in other fields for a living for many year's, only to realize now just how bad this plastic banana stuff is causing so many health Issue's . So thanks again , I'm waking up to it , all in & getting back to real food , with awareness, as to how & what we need to use , to get our food chain back on track ! Looking forward to creating a great 2017 garden & become involved with market gardening & to assist anyone I can to also live life healthier with there own garden's ! Shame on our FDA for miss leading us , as to believing in them for we the people's own best food's, for health & prosperity & letting the greed of Corps. ruin our health ! Hang in there my Friend & HAPPY GARDEN"S for all ! - Ron

I bought your juicer slow start. What recepie u recommend for anxiety and depression? Mild. By the way what should I include in my compost bin because they say compose in 2 weeks but the smell it’s crazy and it’s been 2 weeks . I don’t add paper of any kind. Just veg and some top soil to speed up and add to the process. What do you recommend for the smell because of my gated community. HELP I LOVE MY KELP AND COMPOST

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

I need access to fresh cannabis leaves. I have no space to grow my own now. Where can I locate/source some for, mainly, juicing? That Orange coconut creme recipe video John did awhile back is like what I have in mind. Rich blessing to you, deliverer.

[@BoogieBrew]

If you are in Humboldt or Mendo counties then it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise you will need to ask your local dispensary to, (in turn), ask their cultivators for fresh leaves. (They will need to keep the leaf bags in their fridge -should keep just like salad mix for a week or so). Otherwise, check your local craigslist for "215" offers, (clones, buds, etc). Contact the provider(s) and ask if they have any extra leaf available.

[@runningwaterincalifornia108]

I'd have a lot of people in the comments here contemplate the degree to which the stuff John and Josh are talking about here is not about political positioning. Issues of sustainability and health have much more to do with morality and planetary well being. These are issues that everyone should care about. Question who would have you believe that the issues being discussed here are 'lefty' issues. They're not. They're human issues and environmental issues. Politicians who would convince you that caring about these issues is 'lefty' are not interested in any true political ideology. They're just greedy.

[@helicart]

The left as a political ideology doesn't know which way is up. - If the left truly cared about global warming, they'd aggressively push people to eat less animals. They don't, and I don't know one democrat politician who is vegan. - If they truly cared about global warming, they'd aggressively reduce the global population. They don't. Instead they encourage high breeding developing world nations to come to the USA and put more pressure on the environment here. - If the left truly cared about sustainabil;ity, they'd give tax breaks to local communities trying to be self sustainable. But they don't. They want higher taxes collected by an ever more powerful centralist government that redistributes local initiative and wealth creation to those exercising less initiative. I am a libertarian. I can do permaculture and regenerative agriculture. I can do farmer's markets. I can sell to locals. I can trade produce in a cashless economy, and barter other goods and services. I can do all that and not be a socialist. The difference is I decide what I produce and how I sell it. I don't need elitists telling me how to do it.

[@truthseekertree]

@@helicart whoa. high breeding nations and population control. hmmm. why dont u hang out bill gates and work on his medicine and vaccines programs in dev world. cant support u on any even slightly eugenist notions. racism. high breeding. oh man.

[@helicart]

@@truthseekertree . Fertility rate stats by ethnicity by nation, and US ethnic group, are in the public domain, . The democrats know breeding rates are higher among third world migrants. Encouraging migration from these nations is a primary tool for them to win elections. As an example, take Rashida Tlaib. Her father and mother came to the USA childless. After 2 years working in auto manufacturing, the parents proceeded to pump out 14 children, and never had to go to work again due to welfare benefits. Rashida is the eldest. That's one version of the American Dream. People create environmental pressure. Less people reduce the pressure. You either want to save the planet, or you are happy for people to keep being paid by leftist governments to breed. You cannot support both, which is quite the moral dilemma for leftists.
