Healing Depleted Farmland with Large Scale Aerated Compost Tea

[@jerrybates5766]

I am so excited to get to share this experience with people of like minds. It was a whirlwind visit that will foster untold improvements

[@bryanarie258]

Thank you Jerry! There's hope :)

[@sandrahall9030]

Kudos to you for your foresight in regeneration-minded agriculture!

[@LAST-11111]

Go Jerry! Nice!

[@ddouglas3687]

Can't wait to see the improvements for your cattle! Great idea!

[@gratefulgardengnome]

Thanks Jerry really inspired after seeing your property that's what happy cows look like!

[@TuringisLearning]

As an aspiring homesteader that is trying to set myself up to be mostly self sustaining in the next 10 years, this content bring a tear to my eye! If we all come together we can reshape agriculture to be in harmony with the earth and not against it! I am definitely going to email Jerry and see if my family can purchase some of his beef.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I'm happy you are feeling it my friend!!

[@momcomputer6461]

I absolutely LOVE seeing people take care of the Earth and their animals the way it was meant to be cared for! Wonderful presentation and education, Nate! Just to let you guys know, my gmail acc't disappeared so I cannot receive any questions or comments. Lucky to be able to still comment here myself.

[@Elaine1218-p7z]

Moving to 26 acres of previously farmed land to homestead. It is Virginia red clay and very depleted soil. So thankful you shared this video. Now where do I start……????? Looks like this could help!! Thank you !!!

[@grenslitt]

Sweet news ate getting the A.C.T. Going this weekend Ha going to “ACT” on it. But on a 55gal level. I’ll be listening on Sat. TG

[@jimginnyohio]

Nice to see this practice. So many more farms need to do this and get away from the unsustainable poisons they are currently using.

[@childrenofthegoddess]

Would be really nice to get an update after a little while on his progress. Even if it’s a small blurb in your normal videos. Love the fact that you are showing us small scale and large for your processes and recipes. Thanks as always. Much love to you and yours

[@Freakazooll]

Thank you!

[@TerryA_Gudde]

I've been wondering if this was possible to do on a large scale... Wow Impressive sir. So proud of ya'll.

[@Spen_er]

Amazing. Always amazing. Thanks

[@glcs3068]

YES! Great to see this in action. Jerry, I hope this works wonderfully for you. I'm hopeful to be able to utilize this knowledge in the next few years. 👍👍

[@silkestorey7152]

You are right. This must and can be the farming of the future.

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

awesome!

[@ToukiMS]

You should team up with Roots so deep guys, great work as always!

[@gardenlikeaviking]

never heard of them but will check them out... thank you!!

[@jasonheaddy5122]

Tea Labs is were I bought my 5 gallon bucket bubbler. Nice stuff 👍👍👍

[@bryanarie258]

Thank you Nate & Jerry! The more people see this the better share the video. It's not to late to turn it around!

[@rocknrolla257]

Awesome. How often would you apply it on pastures? We want to start doing this behind our dairy cows

[@pampotgieter7611]

WOW! This is fantastic for people who have huge farms to implement this on a much bigger scale. Thank You for sharing NATE. Going to see if a farmer in our area would like to try this air rated compost tea. I have bought unpasteurised milk from this farmer a few times before. 🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@camperjack2620]

Great system you built. And a wicked nice looking Oliver tractor!

[@jonwilro]

Thank you for doing this!! I’ve been brainstorming about how to do this with my totes!

[@ursamajor1936]

Wow! That is so cool! It's good to see people converting to old fashioned, all natural farming.

[@gardengirl66]

This must be the way of the future!!!!

[@ej4753]

Great video!

[@sweepingpage1845]

This is really cool. I wish Jerry shipped his beef!

[@jeffmeyers3837]

I'm so glad to see you going in this direction. Been watching you for years, and highly value everything I've learned from you as a grower. I've also learned from Elaine Ingham's ilk and have seen many spectacular results as well. I predict that in time, you'll take the step to creating a proper fungal-dominant compost pile to use as the base for your compost teas. Love your channel, keep it up!

[@dethdriver1974]

Always fantastic and useful information. Speaking of building things for the future, do you know of any gardening books for children? My granddaughter is 7, this year she got into gardening hard.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Full Screen! Whoo Hoo! I'm okay.

[@hogue3666]

Yes!!! Thanks for sharing, guys!

[@windhamflowers]

🎉🎉WOW! that is fantastic. What an interesting video and thanks for some hope for our food system!

[@gratefulgardengnome]

Cool video nate they are getting really good! Your vision and plans are manifesting!

[@Returntothesoil]

Wish I could get you down here in Ky to help with my property! I just can't afford it at the moment. It would be a blast working with you and I need your knowledge dearly! My property is very hilly and wet and full of weeds and black walnuts. But im going to do my best to get a consultation from you soon! I want to eventually keep goats but don't know where best to put them.

[@rickfigueroa7003]

Thanks Nate...

[@mardirazzberry]

So cool. Thank you for taking us along on the journey.

[@CinnamonBear-xv4eq]

Please keep us posted on the results! Hopefully Jerry can show others farmers what is possible

[@lonnieb4723]

Thank You Nate & Jerry. Finally I have been looking for this kind of info for awhile. I have 26 acres in Western WA that was old x-mas tree farm that was abused. I use compost extract and tea in my market garden but have been wanting to scale up the Tea/extract process to regenerate my pastures. How long ago was the tea applied? Do you have any before and after photos or testing? Thanks again

[@kezzaobee1462]

Jerry is definitely on to a good thing there with this process

[@jaybrammer626]

Great job nate

Great Information 👍

[@freebirdg6873]

Great video I will definitely be using this design . Loving Jerry’s farm would love to purchase some beef from him also in the near future. Thank you for all the awesome information you share with us Nate 👍🙏🏼❤️

[@dnawormcastings]

What a great idea well done 🇳🇿❤️

[@Xonikz]

I can give you a suggestion for reducing clogs maintenance and power consumption on those pumps. Instead of running liquid pumps, run an air stone from a small aquarium air compressor to circulate the liquid.

[@whisperingwings852]

AMAZING! So proud of both of you!

[@johnnykay8261]

Great stuff . Looking forward to many more future videos.

[@abarenas3018]

HEK YEAHHHHHH!!!

[@LittleJordanFarm]

Agree 100% he needs to post his farm on Regenerative Farming . I have 2 lots one is 1 acre one is 2 acres I'd love to figure out a better way to do mine besides but hand sprayer. Also when and how often would you do this?? Thanks for your videos I'm a jadam fan

[@gardenlikeaviking]

the more often the better... most important is the beginning of the season when everything is coming out of dormancy and then mid season when it tends to stall out... but once every week or two would be ideal

[@LittleJordanFarm]

@@gardenlikeaviking thanks

[@larrystrayer8336]

What is the application rate per acre? And how often?

[@lilygonzales905]

Awesome job Nate!!

[@rickjay4639]

Excellent 👍👍👍

[@ReeferMadman]

Very cool!

[@Alan-bi7dm]

I do this in my vegetable garden

[@Enjoythepour]

I recently purchased 17 acres that is overgrown and really needs some help. I plan to have a few heads of cattle as well as horses and possibly other farm animals I’ve been trying to get advice or figure out where to start to rehabilitate the pasture. This video looks very interesting to me, but it sounds like the farmer had already done his rehabilitation and switches areas for grazing. I’m curious as to how he started out and with what proper plants and fertilizer.

[@tomatito3824]

Simply mowing is great for an overgrown pasture.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

this is a great topic and one that I could do a sit down interview with him when I pick up my beef in a month or so... if you have other questions you'd like me to ask during that interview you could email me a list if you so desire

[@Enjoythepour]

How do you keep critters from getting into the mix? Racoons.....Would chicken wire work for that?

we have yet to cross that bridge and hopefully won't have to lol

[@D.Monstrable]

N Indiana here. Love seeing this

[@tomatito3824]

Do people ever run tests when they do this kind of work, or they just have faith? Do they compare fields sprayed with compost tea vs fields sprayed with just water or something?

[@thedealer799]

[@chrism2502]

Awesome

[@BWSRbushcraft]

AWSOME!

[@rickthelian2215]

That was great Nate. It would have been nice to test the soil in the pastures as a base then you can compare organic matter in the soil then yearly test it for improvement to the pastures buy using the tea method.😊

[@Sky-o2f]

Before planting the land each season, he must add organic fertilizer directly to the soil. Completely decomposed cow waste will be a good option. After adding cow waste to the soil, he must add agricultural gypsum. This is a natural substance that comes from rocks and is rich in calcium and sulfur. After these treatments, he can plant his land, spray it, and water it with compost tea every time, and he will have good, natural pasture, and the herbs will grow strongly. Another note: agricultural gypsum rids the soil of salts caused by chemical fertilizers. It dissolves quickly in water. Once it rains, the gypsum will carry all those salts with it away from the roots of the plants. We use it here to rehabilitate highly saline lands The name of the substance is hydrated calcium sulphate😅

[@jerrybates5766]

@@Sky-o2f great tip on the gypsum as we are low here on sulfur since they started overseas manufacturing.

[@clivefrancis3546]

Is there a before and after view to see the effect?

[@jum5238]

Is a quick passing spray sufficient to restore the land? Seems like you need a LOT more than that.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

it is the beginning of a process that is multi faceted... rotational grazing with cattle is the main restorative component with the Tea being yet another addition to add soil biology for nutrient cycling

[@joshbrownaz]

Thanks for the great information! Would this be a good opportunity to add in the egg shell calcium acetate as well?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

definitely it would be yes and he'll be making his own cider vinegar in time and making a solution from the bones of some of the cows

[@joshbrownaz]

@gardenlikeaviking oh cool I didn't even think of using bones, but that make total sense! I will try that as well. Thanks again

[@fabriziom2661]

Hell yeah! Good meat from a reliable clean source is hard to come by. I'm willing to pay for shipping if he can send it out to California ... Also, are you still accepting orders for the Valhalla UnYuns?

[@fabriziom2661]

I just emailed them my inquiry :)

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

good video. From my research and trials that I did many years ago, you only used enough molasses for 700 liters for 24 hours. For maximum production, you need a rate of 1.4 liter/day to have proper growth. You also need more that 24 hours and the temperature needs to be between 80-90 degrees. Without checking what's going on, you are running blind.

[@graemedevine9651]

NICE Nate, it'll be a while before I'm needing to brew 250 gallons, an 80 litre bucket is more than enough for the PSG. Quick question, I've started putting a couple of litres of compost tea into my compost bin, I used to put JMS in every week but i don't make it anywhere near as often, the tea would definitely be beneficial to the scraps in there and help break it down into a decent useable soil wouldn't it?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

absolutely beyond any doubt the tea is ideal to add to the compost pile

[@lukeblackford1677]

I’m making a version of your bloom fertilizer using bananas, but instead of using LABS, I used leaf mold soil to inoculate it, I didn’t get any foam, don’t know if it worked. I’ve been aerating it for a week, I’ve applied it twice and got new blooms on my pumpkins and peppers. I made some LABS to use for another batch according to your recipe. I did not intend to add microbes to the soil, I just want a shelf stable, plant available potassium fertilizer. Any thoughts?

[@Pilzkarl]

What’s the difference between compost tea and JMS?

[@Ultimatefitness360]

Alaska fish fertilizer is a fish emulsion but according to dr elen ingam fish emulsion is not good for compost tea, she recomend fish hydroslate so what u think about that ??

[@mariachiorozco]

Hey Nate! Thanks for sharing this!! I've been using JMS but I'm curious, what differences have you found using this compost tea instead of the JMS?

[@tomatito3824]

Zero smell vs smelly hands and containers for days.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

that's a great question and one I will address today during the livestream so thank you!!

[@teetstreats5682]

Will they not ship meat?

[@mustardtiger9265]

do you think that using an electrostatic sprayer would be detrimental to the biology in the tea? a few times now i have seen bulk selling of these sprayers mass made for the pandemic for not much more than shipping. with my ever bloating garden bio mass they look like a quick way to get all my spraying done. if nothing else they are electric sprayers that most can disable the electrostatic part of it and just be a sprayer.

Honestly someone of you have years of experieces in compost tea? it is really work? please share your feedback if you really tried for a long time

[@september2remember164]

As proved many times, compost tea is not much better than just dilluting compost in the water.

Proved where? Post link

this is a false statement

[@september2remember164]

@@tomatito3824 check video "Does compost tea work" part 1 and 2 of Alberta Urban Garden. It sums up rather well why 95% of growers will not benefit from it. Only high value plants like marijuana might be worth wasting time on such activity.
