AWESOME video Jay - thanks for posting! You can take it to the bank about vermiculture and working worm castings into your extraction process. When you first introduced it, the 'aeration process' of your Bio-5 system is very similar to my Growing Solutions compost tea system. I make and use the extracted product for both furrow planting and as a biologically active foliar feed. I use the foliar feed in place of commercial pesticides. I have little pest pressure. Research the effects of biologically active foliar feeding on the plant's stomata - it helps to strengthen the plants immune response because the stomata 'allows' beneficial bacteria to migrate into the plant. I also make and use alfalfa tea because alfalfa contains triacontanol, the most potent growth hormone ever used on plants. One last 'trick' I use for the Johnson-Su process...I pre-soak my wood chips with a mycorrhizal blend and then pile and cover those wood chips. After about three to six months [depending on visual inspection for mycorrhiza formation], I'll use those wood chips in my Johnson-Su build. Nature's biology is always right. Again, thanks for posting this VERY informative video! Many blessings!

@@youngredangus6041 First, I'm humbled by your request. But frankly, after reviewing the Biome Makers website...those dudes know way more then me and I suggest you work with them...pick their brains till they bleed if you follow my meaning. I'm so impressed that I'll be in touch with them. For my money, their 'pathway' information is key to understanding any soil's potential from a biological perspective. I grew up on my Grandpap's farm and he was a BIG fan of J. I. Rodale, whose 'principles' were ingrained in me. I've since then studied Rudolf Steiner and other biologically focused farming methods like Korean natural farming. I don't give a rat's ass what Monsanto or the other Big Agri folks say, it's not chemicals that grow plants, it's Nature's biology. And, those dudes in this video can prove just that. Of all your videos, this one has impressed me big time - not to take anything from your other videos. This one talks science. You can now better understand your 'non-chemical' corn yield results. Had I had access to the science services Biome Makers offers 30+ years ago...well...my laugh the whole to the bank would've been louder...if you follow my meaning! Anyhoo...let those dudes from Biome Makers continue informing you with their science - it's spot on in my book! Many blessings.

Hi Jay, I’m an arable farmer in the 🇬🇧. I really appreciate you sharing your efforts as you try and piece together how arable farmers can change their farming to unlock the natural capital in our soils and be far less reliant on damaging artificial inputs. I don’t think many people realise how profoundly important it is going to be to understand what goes on under our feet for our future. It all starts and ends with our soils. I look forward to hearing more from you. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for sharing this, Jay! Very informative! My take-away…the compost is not as much new furniture I’m moving into the house, but more like the front door key - unlocking the pre/furnished house, so I can have access to what’s already there!

@mirsidorov5112 Жыл бұрын
Its not so much a key to unlock a house, and more so more workers to come into your fully finihshed manufacturing plant. The whole point of teas/extracts/compost is to create more biology which will go into your land. So you are creating more workers to go and work in your land and together with plants give you food.

@@youngredangus6041 Dude, You are bothering to get the lab work done rather than mererly saying, "It looks good, so it must be good." I lost 2 to full/parial freezing & then becoming hydrophobic to some degree post-thaw. They are just big stand-up worm bins afterall. In any zone with 40 degree F temps or lower you need supplemental heat to keep the worms alive, working & hydrated. There's a couple of clowns in zone 9b who can't manage it even with a weather advantage. The mods they made were not improvements though they expected superior results and then never ordered any lab work on the finished product....just declared success. I salute your efforts in that they are honest from beginning to end.

Hi Jay, your my next best thing since sliced bread! I can hear you wanting to know if your product can be better, so my question is, can one build your compost to be the best it can be(diversity and ratios of fungi/bacteria) and how would one go about it? My other question is, if I cannot plant cover crops because the off-season is to dry and can only do my cash crops in-season, would that then deplete the nutrients in the soil and if so, what should one do to overcome this? Thanks for your time sharing with us
@youngredangus6041 Жыл бұрын
I think wood chips and leaves are both good for getting diversity. Do you have access to either of those? Our best looking one is 60% cornstalks 20% grass clippings 10% horse manure 10% wood chips Can you get a cover crop interseeded into your cash crop?

If you pls help me in the following will be greatly appreciated:- 1) What’s a name of lab test you did? 2) My bio reactor is 4 months old, how keep the right moisture content, my worries are I have electro rod moisture guage when it says 60% moisture level and when I do the hand test 5 to 6 droplets comes out

How is the compost gotten into the soil without ruining the mycorrhiza lay at the first 6 inches? Can it be just mixed into two inches at the top or just put on the top of the field?
@youngredangus60412 жыл бұрын
To my understanding mycorrhiza isn’t in compost. The fungi in compost is Saprophytic fungi that break down dead plants. They are important to have in the soil but are different to saprophytic fungi
@andrewtimko9026 Жыл бұрын
Ideally you do not want to till fungi into the soil. Inoculate your seed or crimp a cover crop and spray that. Fungi are vulnerable to tilling so that would be counterproductive.
