Making JMS in a Heatwave!

[@jamesstidham4191]

Thank you for the info on the capture of microbes, keep up the good work

[@davidkeelerii7460]

Thank you for still making videos about KNF and Jadam. Great info

[@sandibennett7305]

Thank you for another very helpful tutorial 🙂

[@caznim]

I really appreciate this video. We are down in southeast Louisiana and it’s been high 90’s for weeks now. You really helped me save a bunch of trial and error time in this heat. Thank you both so much for your generous efforts to teach me.

[@Erikhayward-y2t]

great vid, thanks. I looked for a while and this was the best i found so far, with good follow up replies to questions to clear things up to boot!

[@graemedevine9651]

Brilliant video I made a few bloopers getting mine right, thanks.

[@vinvin1715]

Tony you are such a knowledgeable smart man. Explained in such a simple to understand manner. Sir we salute you and thank you for all the sharing that you both do to the community.

[@TheRedhawke]

Great video and explanation. I made this JMS solution in early spring to go on our new ground garden, it did very well. I left the unused portion in the bucket and went back to it a few weeks into the growing season and was surprised to see a thick film had formed over the surface much like a scobi. I poured it out in a shaded area under several trees and watched it melt itself over several days back into the Earth. I’m now contemplating the connection between kombucha and the JMS solution.

Have you considered a video explaining all the jargon? What all KNF recipes are for etc? In one video and then link to the rest of your videos ? You are good at explaining

Great Information Thanks I am a newbe to JADAM, however I see very similar results here in Florida it's August 3 with day time temps at 95 F to night temps between 70F and 75F. I have not done this in the winter here as of yet.

[@homermtz]

tony im making mine in south texas and i leave it under shade but here it over 100 for months and seems to be fine i see good results when i apply to my family house plants just fyi

[@MsPeacelove01]

Thank you that was really helpful. I live inland Australia. Very cold winters and very hot summers. I’ve already made a winter brew and it was exactly like you say. Looking forward to trying a faster summer one. Very helpful practical tips. Glad I found your channel.

I know there are colder places, but it's not really appreciated that Aus also has temperate areas.

Dumb question - 2 Part question; 1. Why do we need the mesh. Can't we just put in right in the water? Then strain after if we want? It's all going to end up in my compost after soaking the biochar. 2. I'm in Chicago and was planning on making a batch soon. My garage is 50 degrees. Am I good to go in those temps? Thank You!

[@BareMtnFarm]

I use the mesh just to keep it cleaner for use in my irrigation system. Leaf mold has small amounts of soil or sticks and the potato skins also cause problems. Honestly if your using the entire batch to inoculate biochar I don't think the mesh matters. I have gotten batches to ferment at 50deg F. I do keep it insulated with a blanket to keep it warmer at night. Lower temps yield smaller finer bubbles on the surface and the fermentation period can be long like +72 hrs. You just need to keep an eye on it.

[@IonMasuna]

Those are regular summer temps in Spain. Really informative on what may I expect. Would using sea water directly instead of sea salt + water work? I would say so but I'll ask just in case... Thank you for your amazing content.

[@davidkeelerii7460]

From everything I've watched yes Sea water will work

[@mardirazzberry]

I really enjoy your your KNF videos, thank you for very informative videos. Made my JMS during heat wave 100F, blubbled up, frothy, over night and held until next 2 days. Very surprised.I kept open to air after that covered with large tight knit mesh bag, with 3 days of rain bucket filled up and will use in compost and as an in between feed. On an other note I'm struggling to find Mill Run or bulk rice bran to build IMO4. Do you have any advice?

[@onLYbyM]

Hello friend.. You said in a different video that 2-4 grams of potatoe per 1L is enough.. And here you are adding 10g per 1L.. Whats the correct dose? Thanks a lot.

[@BareMtnFarm]

2-4 grams is a number I got out of Youngsang Cho's JADAM book as the minimum you need to get fermentation to occur. The extra potato weight doesn't hinder the process. So as an example suppose I don't have a potato for the 15L batch that weighs between 30-60g but I do have ones that weigh 125-150g, its ok to use the entirety of a larger potato and still get good fermentation. I try not to go beyond 175g just as a personal bias on using too much potato on a small batch. I guess the point I found is that the process is forgiving to a degree.

[@onLYbyM]

@@BareMtnFarm Thanks very much for replying and clarifying. Really appreciate your efforts. Best wishes from Oman.

[@piedra4369]

Can i use epsom salt

[@BareMtnFarm]

I would stay away from using Epsom salt. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate and sulfur is used as an effective germicide or fungicide. So that component would probably inhibit a good JMS batch. The use of sea salt is mostly for the extra small Trace mineral amounts. If you don't have any sea salt you can just skip that step and make the JMS with just the biology and the potato. The biology will still grow you just won't have the extra trace nutrients.

[@dgraham4966]

Great video! Thanks. Do you know what the red biology signifies? Also, I have heard from others that it's great to use the solution prior to "peak" if you will need to error on one side or the other.

[@carolparrish194]

What does the salt do ? Would it work without the salt?

[@stevebaker8322]

The salt adds trace minerals

[@otrotland5377]

in watching both jms and jLf what is the difference?

[@BareMtnFarm]

JMS or JADAM Microorganism Solution is a live microbiological solution containing a broad variety of bacteria, actinomycetes, wild yeast, lacto bacillus and other bacteria. Plus as the solution gets to maturity it also contains a good amount of protozoa feeding on what is growing in the solution. The feed stock for JMS is usually a simple starch, like potato, or grain. The brewing process is usually very short, in the peak of summer it can be as little as 24 hrs or in cooler weather as long as 72+. But the solution when applied has a large diverse amount of live organisms and is used as a soil drench primarily. JLF or JADAM Liquid Fertilizer is a anaerobically decomposed liquid digestate. This process is using the green growing portion of vigorous grasses, weeds, or crop residues(think radish tops not dried brown dead plants). Using leaf mold soil as an inoculant the materials are covered with water in a sealed container. Usually in 3-4 weeks some of the digestate liquid is ready for use but in most cases it is fully decomposed over several months. The JLF when fully decomposed is a nutrient solution not a live biological solution. Hope this helps.

[@otrotland5377]

@@BareMtnFarm it seems to be a above ground septic tank, or a liquid compost bin

[@patrickwilson9783]

Does it still work with table salt

[@BareMtnFarm]

No, Table salt is almost 100% Sodium Chloride with anti caking agents. Good sea-salt has the micro-nutrients. If you can't get sea-salt you can use rock salt or even sea water if you have access. With Rock Salt you'll have to adjust for the coarse grind though, but is substantially cheaper.
