Let's Make Lactic Acid Bacteria [L.A.B]

[@donnachavez8230]

It helps composting faster than normal by applying some spray in between layers.

[@nicolecatlin1942]

I just found a way to make cheese without needing rennets . And seriously learning how to not waist anything not even your rice water or the whey if you don't have pigs to feed the whey to. And that cheese can definitely be salted and pressed and eaten as a soft kind of mozzarella cheese. I love learning new things!!! Great video!!!

[@Polarcupcheck]

I can't imagine it being a very good cheese, rennet helps make a solid curd by alot. It works on a difference part of milk protein molecules. However, I am curious about using these methods for making a lactic acid starter to use in cheese making, and maybe now some garden pest control.

[@trenomas1]

@@Polarcupcheck it's really not that bad. I've made it and didn't even strain it. Give it a shot.

[@ameliaramos5225]

Excellent teaching..at least to me..many thanks!

[@generalawareness101]

Sad thing is to make cheese we really need the natural milk that is in all countries except the USA and is easy, and legal, to find. In the USA unless I know a rancher, or I own a cow, I can't find it because unpasteurized milk is illegal in most states.

[@ludicrousone8706]

If you boil down the whey you get ricotta

[@danthompson8001]

After I make my LAB I increase the shelf life of it by adding molasses opposed to brown sugar but I've heard both work just as good ....when using it as a foliar spray its without the sugars added and the stuff with the sugar added can be used as a soil drench...molasses has a good amount of potassium and iron so it keeps most plants happy and healthy / great video by the way! Thanks John!

[@JonyBuss]

You know if 1 percent milk would work?? And my milk froze does that matter???

[@JonyBuss]

Thanks in advanced

[@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends]

Dumb question: can regular sugar be used? 😅

[@candicechrestman328]

Good Video. One tip for all. Use a sprayer with a wand and a hose so you can spray the underside of the leaves. That is where you really want to get the LAB.

[@bxmully]

Why? Just curious. Fermenting my lab rn

[@candicechrestman328]

@@bxmully most fungal diseases start on the under sides of leaves and nutrients in lab, like all foliar applied liquids, are absorbed more from the underside of leaves. Not saying don't spray the topsides but if you are not spraying the undersides you are not using the product to its utmost. All it takes is a sprayer with a wand. While lab is primarily used to combat bad bacteria and fungus it also has nutrients that are beneficial to plants.

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Excellent tutorial John. You are an excellent teacher. I subscribed to your channel a few videos ago. I hope you are enjoying sharing your knowledge. I'm 71 and gardening for over 50 years. I've never heard of LAB, but I am certainly going to give it a shot 👍 I started a KZbin channel last September and I think it is fun to share knowledge and get feedback. Take care 👩‍🌾👍

[@johnknf]

Peggy, I appreciate your kind words and thank you for following along with me. I am just learning how to grow food myself and I thoroughly enjoy sharing each step of my process because I know how tough it was for me to jump into growing food the natural/organic farming way. I wish you the best and here's to a bountiful season :) Happy growing

[@mrpix3011]

Excellent video thank you. Just sharing some info to enhance the formula. 1. Use brown rice if possible. 2. Before you combine it with the milk, I let it ferment another day with some rice bran or wheat ~ 100g. You can also multiply the amount of LAB. 20 ml > 1 liter > 20 Liters > 400 liters. The other formulas are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvRZZt5ZZeqZ7c

[@astridexplorer5096]

Solid video. I appreciate you sharing your gardening journey with us. You mentioned wanting to learn about how other people use LABS. There is an excellent content creator here on KZbin who posts under "Garden Like A Viking". I think you would really appreciate his practical gardening knowledge. Hope things are going well with your garden this year.

[@LnPlayEng]

This is sustainability, man. Nothing is wasted.

[@Paula_T]

Raw milk will ferment on it's own without use of the rice water if left out at room temperature for a few days. You can also just use diluted milk as a spray on veg to control pests and mildew. Cheese maker here...

[@jacovisnowe]

Does it work the same way if you use milk that has expired in the fridge? I have some raw milk and processed milk that went bad but I kept it in hopes I could use it for something in my garden. 😅

Im so glad I watched this video man. Great stuff. Truly and forever. Very helpful and well structured presenter of this info. Thank you sir. It is easy to forget everything is teeming with microbes and a small imbalance can cause big problems especially for our little starters. We are all one and as the environment keeps trying to balance itself to our actions the balance of microbes is lost and the results can be truly devastating. Spraying synthetic organics is the short cut that got us here but if we don't figure out how to rebalance the equation we will be going back to the stone age. It's funny that the little invisible microbes determine our fates.

[@blizzard_of_Za]

@@rainerrain9689 give it 72 hours and it’s ready especially if it’s warm weather then add whole milk and let that curd up 3-5 days and strain out cheese curds and the. U have LABs once you see the difference you will make it often. Also u can use old labs and just add milk to the older labs and it makes a new batch in a few days. I would only do this 2-3 times and the. Start a new batch from different grains

[@WarGardensForVictory]

How long does LAB last in the fridge? I normally use it pretty fast but it would be nice to make a huge batch and store it for a while. I use LAB as a soil drench. It works amazingly.

[@johnknf]

typically 3-6 months, I would just make sure it doesn't smell rancid after the 3 month mark. I have had some that still smelled okay after month 4 and still used, but never made it to the 6 month mark because I always end up using it up :) And awesome! I will be using LAB as a soil drench very soon, trying to make a compost brewer at the moment.. will help save a lot of time from hand water lol. Hope all is well and happy growing :)

I am new to JADAM O. F. This formulas with rice and milk is similar to kefir, it is all about micro-organisms. The lactic acid in kefir is separated the same as a rice/milk formula. What do you think John? The difference as I see it, the kefir can be kept in the fridge in a sealed jar for months.
