Let's Make Water Soluble Calcium [WCA]

[@georgepernicano6513]

There was a myth buster YT vid on whether or not it makes any difference if you “cook” the eggshells. Apparently it doesn’t if you simply air dry the shells. Grinding them to a powder was recommended to extract all the locked up calcium. So I don’t “cook” my eggshells and use Apple Cider vinegar and the difference when combined with a dash of dolomite lime and iron sulphate has been great on my plants.

[@penpuncher]

The cooking is just meant to remove to carbonize the organic matter. Therefore, it will not react (breakdown and ferment) in the extraction process via vinegar (acetic acid)). The main benefit is that the calcium acetate solution will have a far greater shelf life, as it will be purer.

[@taiiiz3969]

Couldn't you still just do this in a much more controlled way in an oven? ​@@penpuncher

[@penpuncher]

Probably, I haven't tried. Main thing to avoid is to reach high enough temperatures where the calcium that you want carbonizes (like bone char). Idk if the oven probably doesn't even get to that temp. Sounds like it'd be worth trying. If you have organic matter, it will still make a good nutrient solution, maybe just smell in some months(?).@@taiiiz3969

[@luismiguelpicardi1419]

Could you help me with the quantities of sugar and molasses? Are they the same for this preparation or is one of them different?

[@kateonianlaw1127]

So Calcium Acetate. A very good Calcium fix soil amendment for tomato blossom end rot. I made my Calcium Acetate with distilled white vinegar and calcium carbonate rock, but I like the use of egg shells or any kind of shell waste rather than seeing it go to a landfill. Though it is a gray area on if this technically would still count as organic farming, I still think it would be fine. But a word of warning, molds are able to utilize acetates as a growing media, so if you condense them down, make sure they are dry. Also just do not heat up calcium acetate to hot while drying as it was originally used to make acetone and calcium carbonate.

Thank you for this

Hi John, I love watching your recipes and KZbin dropped you from my list. Just found you again 👩‍🌾👍

[@dragonshadow3707]

Hey bud best way to get rid of the membrane is when you use the egg just run so hot water in the inside and then you can peel the membrane out.

[@jcgirl3]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Could I just use white vinegar as well?

[@Mommy2Gav05]

Dude. I absolutely love your hat!. Hi from New Jersey! I am totally going to buy me a few of those funnels! That thing is perfect for anything!

[@generalawareness101]

Yeah, did you find his funnel he uses?

[@Agribuzz]

Amazing farming ideas calsuim vital for tree enzyme and more strong to mix with amino #india

[@bexxISM]

Technically, the extractration was done with the week of the shells in vinegar. The last process was just filtering. You could extract again probably with the debris at 5:1

[@3ehahn]

Good job. Short but informative is good. I learned from you without alot of intro BS. Thanks!✌️🌱🥾🥔

[@jessemackay5394]

I recently stumbled across your channel. Some phenomenal information. Thank you kindly for sharing. If you have some time, I'd love to talk garden.

[@beedillon55]

Thank you for all the videos so far John. Can you cover some of your natural disease and pest control methods, sprays, etc.

[@kurdizaxo1412]

OMG Duc Phuc , i like your cover version. Love it !

[@johanpersonalgmail9186]

Thank you very much that was a great video. quick question. can I also use the w c a mixture from my brown rice vinegar and egg shells mixture alone, or do I have to add those other ingredients as well. I'm simply looking to add something healthy trees are planted in large pots

[@bexxISM]

I prefer to spray early morning. The plants will bring in the nutrients with the sun. Wet foliage at night can bring molds no?

[@jamestyrer6067]

Would rinsing the shells in some.distilled water pull more calc out of the mix and whats this doing to ph in soils?

[@hobin1433]

What did you use to make your water Soluble phosphorus

[@aydouble19]

You can use burnt eggshells or bone

[@invaderzim7980]

@@aydouble19 no. Burnt bones with vinegar is CALPHOS not the same as CALCIUM

[@aydouble19]

@@invaderzim7980 I don't believe I ever said it's the same as calcium. The people that I know that do ferments, and knf style gardening, make calphos. I've yet to come across a recipe, in my circle, for a pure water soluble phosphorus. If you have one, please share

[@mauriciodutko3055]

Is good to make that mixture of fertilizers? Or is better to put them one by one? Your ideos are really great! Sorry for my poor english

[@chmchn]

In phases is best. So yeah one by one

Como se hace fosforo soluble y para que sirve

[@Akhirra]

Hello Sir, is the WCA have a bad smell? or the eggshell membrane can make the WCA have a bad smell?

[@bbingtube]

So mainly a foliar application? Don’t plants absorb and transport calcium and magnesium from the bottom up?

[@jenialherdianto292]

There's no video about Water-Soluble Phosphoric Acid?. I want to know wich plant that could substitute sesame stem

[@RR-iq8ze]

Can we make something like this to drink, since this one looks like it is only for the garden? I would avoid nonstick.

What did you do with the eggcell Remaining after we mix with the vinegar

[@45valk]

Any vinegar works

[@christineruddy9215]

Should the WCA still smell of vinegar after it has stood for 10 days ?

How much WCA do you add? I did not see you add it!

[@45valk]

Coffee filter 👍

[@DawnDBoyerPhD]

Would any vinegar work?

[@terryterry1655]

1:10 ratio for LAB as well as WCA. Type 2=vegetative phase ,type 3=reproductive phase , type 1=?

[@dawnpettiglio6930]

Logically speaking 1 would be germination stage

[@laurieedeburn2449]

right on

[@johnmckeag1048]

Is that a shoehorn spatula?

[@smokymtngenetics]

Will white distilled vinegar work ?

[@sometimessnarky1642]

Yes. Any vinegar will work.

[@kanthvickram4490]

I have a question:- after getting the WCA after 10 days, can we use it for human consumption as liquid calcium (without adding the other solutions !!)...because it is only vinegar and eggshells !!! Can we drink it in diluted form?

[@1Lightdancer]

Herbalist Susun Weed suggests making a mix she calls 'Old Soup Puss' using egg shells, vinegar, and bone supporting herbs (Menopausal Years - 1992) Herbal options include: yellow dock (leaves and roots), dandelion (leaves and roots), nettle, plantain (leaves), raspberry (leaves, canes, berries), mugwort (leaves), comfrey (leaves, flowers), red cover (flowers) and/ or egg shells. Quart jar: fill with plant matter and crushed shells, let sit 6 weeks. Use 1 Tbsp/ cup water, add to soups and bean dishes, in salad dressing, etc

[@knaunglay4565]

ဘာရေနဲ့ရောရတာလဲဗျ

[@Adam_S4]

What about just rice vinegar? Can the same thing be achieved?

[@vinniez2188]

The main difference is that brown rice vinegar is slightly more nutritious and it's darker because the rice hasn't been polished. They are both fermented vinegar so I'd say it should work just fine.

[@صادقرياضصادق]

Can I use WCA watering my aloe Vera ? Or it could get damaged ?

[@ClutchClanGameplay]

If you need calcium there’s no reason it would be damaged unless over applied

[@goddammitboi]

Lets make OHN? Please and thank you

[@hiroyopoetker]

you are the king

[@drpk6514]

Why dont you do the same thing with powdered limestone? You could also use normal white vinegar. Eggshells arent practical in a large scale.

[@anzebeton1869]

Good suggestion. I live in the Alps and I can just use the rocks I dig up while gardening.

[@dawnpettiglio6930]

Just FYI the "little cucumbers" were the ovaries on the female flower.

[@suzannestack7784]

Would other vinegars work? I have apple cider and malt. I'm hoping I don't have to go shopping to find brown rice vinegar. I've never heard of it so I'm not even sure anyone here carries it. Thanks for all your fun and educational videos. I'm learning new stuff. I tried using my vinegared kombucha. It didn't kill anything 😆

[@joem3358]

Any vinegar works. I use white vinegar. You can also sub garden lime for eggshells. Both are calcium carbonate and react with vinegar.

[@pastryshack551]

Not sure how "natural" this product will be if all the chemicals from the non-stick pan and the plastics you use leach into your concoctions .....

[@chmchn]

Same could be said about the trace chemicals found in the water you use in your garden. Isn't it coming from a treatment plant? Or the plastics and metals you use to dig or cut your plants. You know they are treated too right? There is no 100% chemical way to garden or farm, we try to reduce it at best.

[@ChristopherPisz]

Dig the videos, but man, after the australian youtube guy, every single gardening channel is saying "Let's get into it." Can I suggest, "Here we go" or some other phrase?
