New Set Up For Making Compost Extract

[@TobyElGato]

Man this is amazing! Would appreciate a pros and cons video discussing the entirety as I’m sure many farmers would like to know the same. Composting, extraction, application, and conservation. The pros are common talk and cons not so much. A video putting it all in one place as a collection of all the information would be incredibly valuable and a useful tool to show farmers. Appreciate the knowledge many times! Thanks for the dedication and hard work!

[@youngredangus6041]

Thanks man. I’ll get that on my list

[@TobyElGato]

@@youngredangus6041 Just came across your website while looking for the bio 5 extractor. Good stuff

[@christopherburman3340]

From South africa: will look forward to options for homesteaders. Am building 1 bioreactor every 6 weeks. First one will be ready in December so am looking at options for small scale application. Thx vids. Really practical. Am currently following David Johnsons design on KZbin for the bioreactors.

From Alberta Canada, just heard you on working cows podcast. Keep the videos coming!!

[@rebs7231]

I really like your setup! I am doing Bio5 and Fed n Happy this year. Spicing it up with some Advancing Eco Ag products as a food source. I ordered a Bio5 Extractor, but it won't be built until next year so I'll have to make due with my home built tote brewer. What mesh filters or strainers do you run the extract through before pushing it through your in-furrow system? I am having some trouble with plugging up orifices and filters.

[@jerryyoung4078]

We have a 30 mesh on the extractor and a 30 mesh on the nurse trailer. We have a 50 mesh on the planter. I do have to clean the filters on the trailer and planter quite often. We are running the orange orifices on the planter and haven’t had trouble with them plugging. We’re applying 8 gallons per acre. This is Jay’s father in case you’re wondering

[@outlander330cc]

Thoughts on the GeoTea extractor? I bought one because I couldn't get my hands on the Bio 5 Extractor and I'm pretty happy with it. My only complaint is that it's hard to stay clean when using it but it is a very simple setup for not much money.

[@youngredangus6041]

Yeah I havnt seen that one. Can you share a KZbin video on the link?

I was planning on jumping into the compost extract, but my first yr trying it on a small scale didn't go well.......

[@youngredangus6041]

That’s too bad. Have you thought about buying bio 5 or Fed’N happy

[@AaricHale]

You got an awesome setup ! Do you ever collect any soil from the woods and add it to compost when you make the extract ? That might have life in it that your compost doesn't . My favorite way to make compost is to let my chickens do it . They make a really nice compost I think . Did you get those pics of the heirloom corn ? Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@youngredangus6041]

I did Thanks for sending the photos. I don’t have wooded area here

[@nielscorfield4163]

Maybe you've got some strips that are out of management. Next to a track potentially. Soil could be good there.

[@supplies4reptiles228]

thank you for your videos ,i was just wondering on the 20 min. extraction time ? why just 20min. others say 24 to 48hours some say the longer the better can you please give your input to this

[@youngredangus6041]

Yes 20 min for an extract 24 hours to make a tea

[@pietroippolito4857]

Does the color of the storage tank matter? Im curious if it’s to protect the biology. Thanks for all your videos!

[@outlander330cc]

He doesn't have any biology in the big black tank that is just water storage. The black or stainless tanks are preferable for storing water though over white/blue/green because the lack of light transmission prohibits algea growth.

[@youngredangus6041]

I use the black tank to keep algae from growing in the fresh water. If you want to store extract I think black ones would be the way to go

[@mirsidorov5112]

Hey Jay, are you doing any cover crops?

[@satemwa751]

Are you making those compost washers for sale?

[@youngredangus6041]

Soil Works LLC sales them

[@mirsidorov5112]

A few very important tips: 1. Use a diaphragm pump if you are spraying large quantities, these pumps are the least destructive to the biology, and 12 PSI (clean your tanks asap, can use vinegar and water with a scrubber) 2. We need to stimulate fungi, because we have too much bacteria already, so the fungi foods are fish hydrolysate (needs to have fish oil), humic acids, chitosan and chitin

[@jeffreyarwood6427]

Kelp is also a good fungi food. Question for you what would you recommend for a spraying unit to apply extract as a soil drench at scale and what would be the amount of compost extract gallon ratio per acre?

[@MIRSTROY]

​@@jeffreyarwood6427 Jay young does 2 lb of compost per 8 gallons for in furrow per acre of tea so 2 lb per acre (300kg per bioreactor in containers) -seed treatment is cheaper, can Compost tea (75 liters ler half a hectare) -pump 1 liter per minute per 4 liters of water -Make sure the water comes from a well or rainwater, tap water has chlorine and/or chloramine which kills the biology -Use a diaphragm pump if you are spraying large quantities, these pumps are the least destructive to the biology, and 12 PSI (clean your tanks asap, can use vinegar and water with a scrubber) -we need to stimulate fungi, because we have too much bacteria already, so the fungi foods are fish hydrolysate (needs to have fish oil), humic acids, chitosan and chitin -add into a mesh bag 5-15 lbs of good compost (vermicompost) (blend as many types of good compost as you can) 4 oz kelp 4 oz fish emulsion or fish hydrolysate 8 tablespoons of mycorrhizal fungi (микоризные грибы) (Blueberries need ericoid mycorrhizal) -some rhizobium with legumes, put down many strains first year only, they grow in ground, add it in last to the tea once tea is done -4 tb Azospirillum brasilense -4 tb Ceramic powder (or biochar dust) for the surface area for bacteria to grow into EM Super Cera C Soil Improver

[@brandonoverstreet7675]

Where did you get filter from?

[@youngredangus6041]

Utah bio diesel

[@brandonoverstreet7675]

What’s better spraying a compost extract or spreading compost with a spreader? This would be for pasture ground. Thank You for all your info!

[@youngredangus6041]

Corey Miller has a great set up for putting it on plastids ground

[@nielscorfield4163]

Are you weighing your compost? If not, how are you measuring amounts? By volume

[@youngredangus6041]

I’ve weighted the buckets they weigh 25-30lbs

[@krayziez]

The bio 5 Extractor is discontinued. Do you have any suggestions on an alternative?

[@youngredangus6041]

Yes. I’m working on a video for a new extract that we are actually selling Email at [e-mail]

[@mirsidorov5112]

According to Dr Ingham, tea is for quantities, extracts are for diversity. Teas kill a lot of diversity, but ramp up the quantities. If you have the compost, always do extracts.

Ooh, what lect in fc 3 is that from?, it doesn't make sense to me

[@mirsidorov5112]

@@666bruv someone that has taken the course mentioned this, i have not yet taken the program but it makes perfect sense, light, water, and the vigorous air do kill a lot of biology.

She does say to make tea if you have a tiny bit of compost and loads of acres to cover.
