Treating Milo With Compost Extract/ Treating Milo With Dry Fed’N Happy

[@organicentourage]

I really like the idea of adding fine, dried compost to small seeds since we don't have a drip system on our drill. There is a guy just a "stones throw away" that makes excellent vermi (worm) compost. Since he screens it, I'm guessing we could just mix it in with the seed. Going this route sure beats dealing with liquid extract. Thanks for sharing!😃

When putting in garden transplants my son asked me "why is the water so brown?" Well, you see there are teas added ... Transplant and seed in-furrow this year I'm using: leaf mold compost tea, worm castings tea, commercial microhryzal fungus (powder), and molasses (for sugar to kick off the seeds and sulfur). Now I just need it to rain a bit. ... I included the worm casting tea because of your videos, one the lab test guys that were so positive about worm compost testing results compared to regen ag soil tests and the worm farmers tour. My corn field I prepped last fall with winter rye that I inoculated with the commercial Microhryzal Fungus (powder), one field I disked in before planting (my corn planter is old non-no-till) and hand planted the other into green standing rye to later roll crimp terminate. Need the rain though.

I tried putting the fed n happy diretly on the oat seed like you talked about and worked great. Only issue is make sure you do blend it good... otherwise the oats will germinate. 😅 But I used the seed tender and layered compost into it. Then I ran it back through the tender into a bag. Worked great.

Have you tried Prairie Food? I'm considering that for some of our Milo. Planting some beans today with FedNHappy!

To do our canola seed, I picked up a little cement mixer and set up a system where I can be over top of the probox. Mixer and bags of seed in loader bucket with a hand wand from yard sprayer below to apply product. Did 90 bags of seed at roughly 1 min/ bag, one person. You won't be disappointed

Where did you get the big filter you were using? Also do you know of anyone in the west central Missouri area that has Johnson Sue compost that a person could buy from to jumpstart their process?

[@youngredangus6041]

Don Lorie can ship you some

The filter came from Utah Bio Diesel

What were your results? Did you see benifit with extract plus dry mix?

This year everything ended up dying because it stopped raining. We raised some 80+ bushel milo. If you watch the milo like a kardashian it is the follow up video

How long does microbiologie survive on the seed? I have done some and after 2 days it feels so dry I’m wondering if it’s still active…

[@youngredangus6041]

This video explains it well. The coating last indefinitely because the endophytes are penetrating the seed

Can you let finished JS compost dry out and apply to seed dry as well?

[@youngredangus6041]

I’m sure you could but I think you are better off doing an extract with your own JS

[@jakekiddall5108]

Did the milo have seed treatment on it???

[@youngredangus6041]

Yes

[@MistressOP]

Do you do a biochar activated on the seed with the compost extract?

[@youngredangus6041]

no fed n happy has some biochar in it

Too badly, something is getting out of control with your farming models.

[@666bruv]

And what do you mean by that comment? What is out of control?
