She’s Making Compost Tea Now

This Arizona nurse LOVES the rain. The more rain you show me the happier I get!❤❤❤ God bless you all and ☦️ many ☦️ 🙏🏻 prayers. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 💙 🙏🏻

Rebecca , you really don't need all that to make compost tea . I make it year round in 30 gallon trash cans & 5 gallon buckets. I just fill the container about 1/2 full with weeds , then fill with water & stir . Put the lid on & stir every few days . I let mine set a few weeks to months on a rotation , then strain . It creates a wonderful liquid fertilizer & very cheap & yes ~ it is stinky !!! If you have Comfrey to add , that is even better . Your method is great for fast compost tea .🥰

I am grateful for the ideas you all give, grateful I get to choose what can be applied in my life, you are a family that is doing this life how best suits you and that is a wonderful thing to be part of. Thanks for all the real things you show and for teaching us ideas we can use or not use as we wish. I hope your foot feels better soon Rebecca, we all heal in our own time, our own way and as a full grown woman, you know what you are doing with your health.

Another, a perhaps better way to boost soil health is to add worm castings and inoculate biochar with worm castings. It a lot simpler, requires less fiddling with additives and bubbling etc. you all have so many things to manage already, worms require very little time and attention. Once I harvest my worms castings I add biochar- you can buy 100% wood charcoal, crush it and add it to the castings and the nutrients will be in that biochar for a really long time. You do not have to make your own biochar, although you could, it’s not expensive. It will take some time to create the castings and you could actually use compost tea to inoculate biochar and add that to your soil for a similar result. Check it out. Lots of info out there on the web, go for the simplest. Lots of people want to make it very complicated.

Great idea Thanks

Good morning, everyone. we woke up, thank God let's celebrate rain is a huge blessing from God. I love it when it rains.

[@sharonhaas8503]

⛈⛈🌈🌦🌦Love the rain watering the garden. Perfect! ❇❇❇

[@ninabooker2904]

Get eco-friendly washing sheets for your laundry. They really do work. I personally use Earth Breeze brand and 💕 LOVE them. Just a thought for your new laundry room and machines and waste water pipes. So they don’t get all gross and gummed up with detergent. Also leave the washer door open after use so musty, mildewiness doesn’t build up.

[@AWesker99]

Sheesh. I wondered why this guy used to disable comments. Now I totally understand why.

[@jaket8947]

Yep.

[@rotcaka]

🤣 it's a 🤡 Party!! Everyone knows best!! Also you gotta remember the age we live in now. Bots can create divisive comments to drive engagement. If you don't think it's happening on every channel and every space where we consume content (and more) then you'd better go do some studying up on the state of tech and ai

[@rotcaka]

The sum total (for me, and soon for everyone) is that we engage less because we now can't trust that any entity we "chat" with is even a real person anymore. Goodbye "social" media. Unless you're ignorant and don't mind talking to programmed 🤖 and algorithms.

[@dixsigns1717]

Rain is a huge blessing from God. I love it when it rains.

[@kfowler193]

I just cut my comfy leaves in a bucket, fill with water and let it sit for a while! I've never seen such a compost contraption. I guess it makes it faster. Glad to see Rebecca feeling better.

[@packy0462]

Cool idea

[@fromthegroundup841]

The aeration helps the microbes reproduce faster and consume the sugar medium (usually molasses) so it's ready in 24 hours. When I had a garden (Carnivore now so eat meat only), I did the weed method as well, same as yours but any weed/plant that my chickens wouldn't or couldn't eat went into a covered bucket of water.

[@Dan_Slee]

Don't over think the compost tea, you do not need a fancy contraption. If you want to have it "bubbling" for aeration then keep in mind the deeper the container, the more powerful of an air pump you will need. For a 5g bucket, a cheap USB powered air pump off amazon for ~10 bucks, and it comes with tubing and an airstone if i remember right. Another option is to put a small water pump in there that will stir it and keep all layers oxygenated by mixing and helping to create more turnover at the surface. For food, its simple they need a sugar / starch / carbohydrate. Anything from raw sugar to corn starch will work well enough. A little goes a long ways. For the bacteria colony, you can add some livestock manure, or get some powdered soluble bacteria & fungi. Like i said, don't over think it. Its not magic, its very simple.

[@theresawilliamson433]

My grandmother used a pot she wasn't using to dip the "tea" out of the trash can and watered her garden plants.

[@justmartin4421]

I like dipping my fries in tarter sauce

[@hollerlakehomestead3181]

Comfrey and fish impulsion is amazing.

[@dinaaperazzo5699]

I used a old pillow slip and filled it with Chicken manure then had it sitting in a 50 gallon water barrel with a lid. Would water plants with it, worked out nice.

[@hollerlakehomestead3181]

You guys are going what is necessary. You DON"T have to go all through that. It's simple way beyond you all are doing. Keep it simple!!!!

[@Gardeningandstuffwithholly]

Rebecca, Keep doing whatever you’re doing! We can see you are feeling soooo much better.

[@pleinaire8698]

Just aerate your compost tea by stir it every couple hours..! that’s what I did back in the 1980s with my compost tea! Seems like you folks tend to complicate things !!

[@kathleenoverton3263]

Maybe because they have huge gardens which will equate to massive amounts of compost tea.

[@GrandmaKarenHasAFarm]

I just add a few inches of compost to a 5 gallon bucket of rain water and let it sit for about a week. Much less complicated!

[@fancydnails]

You can grow Comfrey and steep your own tea from Comfrey plant then you don't have to buy anything. Self sustainable compost tea!

[@manellaperry4748]

Hello 👋 fraimly much love to y'all 👍👊💪🤞💜🇺🇲🙏

[@peggystephens4703]

Weeds, comfrey etc in the bucket too. With a fish tank bubbler.

[@GetToTheFarm]

adding a small amount of bleach to my wash loads has really helped for the times they are in the washer longer than usual...

[@laurawilcox2988]

You can use an airstone you get at the pet fish store. Use the hose from there too. Can use multiple stones if you want more air

[@RaeFaeM]

13:25 @theJustinRhodesShow I was quite intrigued watching y'all work on compost tea 🪣 🍔 The buns and all look delicious 😋 I would like to know how she makes them Blessed be 🌈

There’s an easier way to watch. Nine little Ausies she made a worm bin and makes worm tea very easily

[@pamelapinto2245]

Any comfrey on that farm? Comfrey tea. NO COST, NO CHAOS. oops, sorry. If you make that then Rebecca wouldn't have to spend money......just keep spending.....

[@kathleenoverton3263]

What does it bother anyone that she’s only spending her own money? Think about it. She’s in her own home, living her own life. Spending their money. Minding her own business. Yet so many people feel the need to step into her space and denigrate her. I think there’s some jealousy going on!

[@veronicajean3612]

When making videos for us little people. It is an angle to show ingenuity. Just sayin. I assume they are beginning of millennials? Oddest group of pampered adult children

[@jimysk8er]

It must be hard jumping through all the hoops of trying to be self sufficient but also constantly buying supplements and minerals that have no business being in north Carolina or starting gimmick projects every week. It would be amazing to see one day an inspiration that leads to figuring out how to work with what you have instead of seeing something on social media and buying the thing right then and there without a thought. There are definitely ten ways you could have aerated compost tea without needing a trip to lowes and you definitely could have just figured out what fitting you needed while at lowes.

[@phyllisatkinson4401]

The you tube channel Garden like aViking shows how to make the aerator, very good instructional video.

[@AZJH8374]

Rebecca, don't you have Aloe to put on your foot? ❤❤❤

[@air-drive]

That puts a whole new spin on "Brewing Tea" it just may take off and everybody needs to put some more O into their T, have you thought about a method for brewing Coffee yet? LOL! Now that the Coffee idea I need at least 10% finders fee and1% licensing on every cup bigger that a Small, at least. But be aware if your local Barista find out about it, and don't make the mistake when I once made by commenting that Barista's are Barristers, they are not the same thing, the one serves Coffee and the other keeps you out of Jail.

[@sharonaskew2873]

I love your vlog, Justin. I've been watching for years. I'm a 65 year old homesteader. I have been living this life 27 years. I have to say that lately , your post seems very rushed , choppy, and incomplete. Like sentences that go halfway and jump off the subject to something else that goes 3 words into it them jump again. Very difficult to follow.

[@itsgoodforthesoilgardens]

love you, but this is rough

[@dmsunsine365]

Please tell me Rebecca got a Tetanus shoot after stepping on the nail. You need a booster every ten years.

[@sarastuff101]

There is something called antibodies shot (But it is man made and a lot of times actually can make symptoms worst), the shot for T Vax does not actually take affect for 14 - 21 days after receiving which if she got tetanus would not help her at all in the current state, it is also filled with heavy metals which stay in the body even after receiving and does not filter out, that's how they get them to "last". I suggest reading an insert. But Tetanus does not live in an oxygenated environment, which you want the wound to bleed after contact and that's one way to know you are safe

[@dmsunsine365]

To sarahstuff101; thanks for your response. I am a healthcare care provider. I believe and take comfort in the medical model for treatment. But I feel based on watching the Rhodes for several years, that may not be their response. I just care and pray for their wellbeing. Il If a person hasn’t had a booster within the last 10 years, the time period to getting a booster is within 48 hours of the incident. The incubation period for tetanus is 3-21 days. Although the likelihood of infection is lower in the USA, because of lowered prevalence of the bacteria due to vaccination, living on a farm puts her at a higher risk. Your information provided to bleed the wound is misleading- it’s is akin to sucking venom from a snake bit- it is an ineffective folk remedy.

[@jerrystout3032]

JUSTIN lose that old Blue blood cap 😡!!!

[@tonicook3023]

Justin---You continue to lament that your big build home isn't completed as planned. And, while you speak that you are not complaining about being currently housed in your 3rd home (think about that convenience for a minute) because it's just 700 sq. ft., and sadly your cabin is totally being renovated by insurance (think about that, too), what do you have to talk about except your privileged complaining??? Nails in feet, broken milk jars??? You are missing the whole premise and code of homesteading. KZbin has allowed you to reveal your true self.

[@kathleenoverton3263]

Just because you homestead doesn’t mean you have to love living in 700 feet with 5 kids. Homesteading is a lifestyle of self sufficiency. Not vowing a lifestyle of poverty all the while flagellating themselves with whips. They have worked hard to get to this place in life. This new house is a result of a lot of discipline. They have those extra houses on their property. Did you know he had another family living in one while they were preparing for a lifestyle of self sufficiency also? And when their friend Bri’s marriage was struggling they let Bri and her 7 children live in another one of them. And Rebekah’s elderly parents live in one also.

@@SheriLatulip uhhh I've been watching them for yrs as well! No I don't know them personally, but do you?? So if you've been watching them for yrs then you know that this is actually how the FAMILY works and provides income & food for not just his family but has other families come to the farm learn how to plant & processes food.. This is an investment they are also putting forward for their kids.. Again maybe his kids look miserable to YOU because they aren't infront of video games & phones.. That's what most of us has come accustomed to seeing now days with not just our kids but people in general.. They work on a farm they work with animals, they are not going to be clean & church ready for their videos.. Those kids are learning valuable skills that most adults couldn't or wouldn't be able to do! That's a huge family, it's is craziness daily to do chores, schools, ect. Maybe your not from a big family, but there is 7 that live in my home.. There is no slow days here, it's always something going on.. From cooking to school, practice, dr appointments, dentists appointments, work, home, laundry, cleaning, yard work, shopping .. That's just a regular house! No farm no land, only animals we have is 2 cats & 2 dogs!! You are most definitely right, my dad always said everyone is entitled to their opinion, like A$$ holes we all got one. 💁‍♀️
