Use 1/2" black poly irrigation tubing with stainless clamps on the fittings. You'll save a lot of fittings and it will withstand some pressure- no glue necessary. Much faster too, you just bend it into the loop you want and connect your tee. Lol that thing is bubbling like a jacuzzi! ❤

[@MrInnocent530]

Good project. You should also be adding kelp meal and soluble, a Calcium source and humic and or fulvic acid. Really makes the tea pop. Remember the more diverse the foods, the more diverse the biology, within reason.

[@ChristineKing-i5c]

I love the wicking raised garden beds you can make them out of old ibc containers that people use for water with the metal frame on the back of their trucks. There’s a great one on self sufficient me channel

[@honestlee4532]

Before I got my rain barrels, I used to let the chlorinated water sit for a week in my shed before using it. Fill up the barrel and leave the lid off. No need for vitamin c. Keeping it in the shed Keeps the bugs and creatures out for me but you may want to use a screen if you have mosquitoes.

[@nulledrust9809]

Just like anything else in life, for better results it takes time. Normally the entire barrel is stuffed with vegetation and water added, after sitting in the barrel for about 3 months youll have your tea and it will be glorious. You can add weeds and any type of plant material even mowed grass and it will be beneficial.

[@mckeecrew]

Awesome project! If you do end up gluing the pvc, you'll need a union in the middle of the threaded pieces since each ends theads are opposite.

Nice channel name, hello from a Christian fellow from Australia...

[@kenshinhimura9387]

I suggest buying some Recharge from Real Growers (comes in a yellow bag) and adding a scoop of that to your compost tea when you brew it then feeding to your plants. Recharge has all kinds of beneficial bacteria plus it has humic acid, fulvic acid, amino acid, kelp and molasses. It would supercharge your compost tea and this stuff is not too pricey for how long it lasts.

I don't know how much molasses you go through, but you can probably get feed grade molasses at your local feed mill or farm supply for a tiny fraction of what you pay for that black strap cooking molasses. You can get a five gallon pail for a couple of bucks. Farmers toss that on cattle feed as a supplement, and while you might not want to put it in your bread, it is completely safe for what you are doing. Make some phone calls and save yourself some money.

[@caribecastaway6447]

I use the "farmer" molasses too. Along with the worm castings and fish poo. From what I can tell the diluted fish poo, as a drench, has great results all by itself. What ever you do, don't get the undiluted fish poo on your clothes. If you do you might as well throw them away.

[@doloinc]

Feed molasses tends to have sulfur added to it as a preservative, which is deadly to microbes

[@kathynix6552]

The molasses at your produce store is likely to contain sulphur which will kill microbes so not a good idea unless you verify it is unsulphurated molasses

Thank 💯 you for perfect video and gr from Antalya

[@junovhs4646]

it can be even simpler, chuck bio waste in barrel full of water, put lid on, wait 3-6 months, strain and boom you've got jadam JLF, dilute 1:200 (yes 1:200, so 20 gallon barrel produces 4,000 gallons of liquid fertilizer)

[@natureboy6410]

That's right. 🤗JADAM is a very efficient and inexpensive way to build healthy soil in your local area with local resources. Most people don't understand that once you go more than an inch deep in the soil the majority of your indigenous microorganisms are anaerobic, or in a oxygen deprived system. Which is what you should be trying to increase, the anaerobic indigenous microorganisms to increase the long-term health of your soil. Any aerobic microorganisms added, created from outsourced substances will live very short lives and will have to be continuously replaced. Mother nature does not have bubbling systems strategically placed all over the place LOL. This guy is working against himself and mother nature.

[@priayief]

Interesting idea. I have always been fascinated by the concept of "garden teas", but I hate doing things in my garden if I'm not convinced they work. I have 6 four foot square raised beds and the only thing I add is about 3 inches of compost on the surface and then cover with a thick layer of leaves at the end of each season. Starting 6 years ago I reserved 3 of my beds for some "garden tea" trials. Each season I tried a different form of compost tea - aeroboic and anaerobic, worm tea, compost tea and several other formulations, one of which was composed of dead fish (stunk like hell) and another that included molasses. I'm not very scientific so I don't accurately measure my comparisons ... I'm just looking for something that makes me go "wow" in comparison to my traditional beds. I have to admit that I haven't found any significant difference. But I'm still searching. Cheers and thanks for posting.

[@nulledrust9809]

It works, we have never bought fertilizer. My grandpa showed me this 30 years ago and I use it today. Except we fill the entire barrel with vegetation then add water, it becomes a stinky potent monster plant booster.

[@mattde4606]

If you are comparing using compost directly on the surface vs taking that compost and brewing it up and applying the tea... and the remnants from the brewing process to the same beds... there will not be a difference. Brewing teas does not create additional nutrition, it just speeds up the process of making the nutrients plant available. Maybe this is good or bad for your situation. Compost on the surface will break down over some time, releasing nutrients at a slow pace. Compost teas will have the very same nutrients, just available sooner. Making note that they then can be leached out from your soil if you plants are needing them at that time.

[@priayief]

@@mattde4606 That makes sense. My idea is that if your soil is reasonably healthy (as mine is with only the addition of compost), the plants are already getting the nutrients they need. Adding more nutrients doesn't do anything for the plants at all. Perhaps compost teas will work in a deficient soil - possibly more quickly than adding compost. I don't know, for sure.

[@mattde4606]

@@priayief At the end of the day if you have a five gallon bucket of compost... you can either A: spread it around your garden. or B: fill a bunch of buckets with that compost, add water, add bubblers, wait X amount of days, filter the water, fill up and spray your garden down until all the water is gone, then go back and take the material you filter out and apply it to the same garden. In either scenario, once the compost is completely decomposed, you will have the exact same plant available nutrients added to you garden soil. One just seems like a lot more work, But if you need to spread out your compost's nutrients because you don't have enough, teas can do that... though at a highly diluted ratio. Or if you have a bunch of potted plants where compost wouldn't work to well... teas are good for that.

[@davidisaacson9328]

The chlorine is a gas, so letting it sit out in the open sun/air for 24 hours will release/eliminate the chlorine( even faster when adding the use of an air bubbler). My water municipality adds chloramine( a liquid ) to the city water, so I use humic/fulvic acid to neutralize to this. If your city water supply uses chlorine to disinfect the water, let your water sit out for about 24 hours. If they use chloramine to disinfect, use humic/fulvic acid. Or...skip all of this and use rainwater, well water or springwater. Hope this helps! Cheers!

awesome idea for me, i have a retention pond access and have pumped water from it to a large garbage bin, approx 100 feet run of power cord to pump in pond along with hose to fill garbage barrel , then a small pump in the garbage barrel to pump water thru drip system too raised beds, i was worried at first about the harm this retention pond water could have, ie. chemicals from surrounding neighbors yards drain into the pond, the pond has no inlet other than rain, no fish would survive but its loaded with frogs so i thought it might be a good source of water and used it, my plants did not die, they seemed to love the water, i am curious if a made a tea barrel if they would love it more ? , excellent video thank you

[@stealthcomp14]

Why worm castings? Could you use your own compost from a compost bin?

[@mattde4606]

Great video on setting up a tea barrel. If you are wanting to compare compost teas vs just using the compost directly in the garden....... Teas are great if you have a limited amount of compost input and you want to spread it out over a large area. Teas are good to use on potted plants or places where adding compost wouldn't be the best idea. The idea being, compost teas are just an alternate application method. Brewing does not make the original input ingredients any more nutritious then they were at the start. Brewing just speeds up the decomposition of those ingredients to make them plant available sooner vs letting the material decompose normally in the garden. So saying that brewing tea makes your compost go ten times as far... is true.... but you need to add that teas are also ten times as weak in comparison to using the compost directly in the garden.

[@brianb.6282]

I believe you are only looking at nutrient level of the compost solid versus liquid. The tea brewing is growing the bacteria and fungal microbes and multiplying them exponentially. This added to the soil then increases the soil biology and creates the nutrients from the poop of the soil organisms that the plants can then absorb. investigate the soil food web. It is amazing.

[@mattde4606]

@@brianb.6282 Every type of soil is already supporting the maximum amount of soil life possible based on the levels of food availability and the environment of the soil. So if you brew up all this life and dump it onto that soil.... it will quickly die off or go into stasis because you aren't adding more food or changing the environment of the soil. It would be like going to a frat house on a weekend that has a large party going on, loads of food and drink, life is happening... then gathering up all the people onto a bus and dropping them off at kid's birthday party going on a park. A few might stay for the cake... but most will call an uber and go home... and some of the parents will take their kids home because there are some college guys hanging around the cake. At the end of the day, you aren't making the birthday party any better.

The best way to use it is a foliar spray. This must be done in early evening as the fungi and bacteria would be damaged by sunlight if done during the day. I made worm compost tea for 20 yrs. Never had tomato worms, blight, or any other pathogenic diseases and very large and productive plants.

[@elibennett3034]

@@carolynoconnor8567 foliar can certainly help with plant health and pathogen reduction, but the plant primary gets it's foot from the root zone, and certainly beyond the occasional regular foliar application, most people will have fewer foliar diseases by fertigating to the root zone and avoiding water on the leaves.

Ricirculation would be problematic for hydro systems, as it would require UV sterilization to avoid pathogen build up and spread, which would be antithematic to the bio activity of the tea. Many people wanting to grow organically will want to promote the biological activity in the root zone, so a modified hydro set up using coco coir may work. Watch you emitters don't get clogged, and use the leachate in a spilhbased garden, rather than recirculating.

@@kenshinhimura9387Deep water can be quite impressive when done right. I have only rarely seen it done at scale though, and never yet with long term success. The industry standard is rockwool or similar inert media, biological colonization of the root zone, establishment of beneficial insects, and a few highly targeted sprays if needed. I imagine you are doing similar, but adapted to deep water. Recirculation becomes problematic at scale primarily due to the to potential loss from pathogen spread, the mechanical problems from biofilm, and maintaining desired nutrient levels (replacement and accumulation). If you are doing deep water tomatoes commercially, I would be EXTREMELY INTERESTED in hearing more about it.
