Thanks for your thoughtful discussion on qualitative preparation and application and final evaluation for eliminating ant infestations in your garden/yard/etc. well done!

Thanks 😊

"You saw", not, "you seen". If you can't get basic English correct why would I think anything else you are doing is correct. I've never watch before today ..... this bad first impression happened in under 4 min. First impressions are important ..... especially when sharing info or giving advice. 😢

What role does light play

If you make it thick it's does kill the queen too soft will not it works great

i need to make modifications to keep the panels in during storms or strong winds

Thank you man👍

You should try Maize or Wheat. This grass is strange for them

Does this work on fire ants??

id think drilling the holes would be easier

How do you connect the panels to each other end to end?

once the ants get in can they get out, as it seems like ants cant navigate glass very well as to the ants in my living room light globe! who cant get back up

Throwing away the excess water is throwing away nutrients and probiotics. Just throw the excess water in another bucket of grains. Don't di more than once or twice otherwise it will go off. As a treat, you can toss it into cooled cooked rice or pasta. Or, simply, leave it in. I understand that you don't realise it, but you are losing a lot of nutrients and probiotics by throwing away the water, defeating the whole point of this process. Just put in less water.

I am wondering if you had any problems with your vent window blowing out?? I just was gifted this greenhouse by my daughter and son in law and right away the first wind blew out the vent window. You might have a video on it but I just found your channel today and have watched 3. Any advice for me?

THANK you…explanation is clear and demonstration is excellent…

Thanks for the video. I wish you well with your efforts to make a better life.

Finally a good advice video without all the 15 or so minutes of advertising and other bs

Creating a self-sustaining living soil with a rich biodiversity of beneficial microbes is a fantastic goal! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this: ### 1. **Start with a Good Base** - **Soil Composition**: Use a mix of high-quality compost, aged manure, and native soil. This provides a variety of nutrients and organic matter. - **Aeration**: Add materials like perlite, vermiculite, or pumice to improve soil structure and aeration. ### 2. **Add Organic Matter** - **Compost**: Regularly add compost to your soil. This not only provides nutrients but also introduces beneficial microbes. - **Mulch**: Use organic mulch (like straw, leaves, or wood chips) to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and slowly decompose, adding organic matter to the soil. ### 3. **Introduce Beneficial Microbes** - **Compost Tea**: Brew and apply compost tea to introduce a diverse range of microbes. - **Mycorrhizal Fungi**: These fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake. - **Biochar**: Adding biochar can provide a habitat for microbes and improve soil fertility. ### 4. **Promote Biodiversity** - **Plant Diversity**: Grow a variety of plants to support different microbial communities. Include cover crops, legumes, and deep-rooted plants. - **Crop Rotation**: Rotate crops to prevent soil depletion and reduce pest and disease buildup. ### 5. **Maintain Soil Health** - **Avoid Chemicals**: Minimize the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, as they can harm beneficial microbes. - **Watering**: Use rainwater or dechlorinated water to avoid killing microbes. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. ### 6. **Monitor and Adjust** - **Soil Testing**: Regularly test your soil to monitor nutrient levels and microbial activity. - **Adjust Practices**: Based on soil tests, adjust your practices to maintain a balanced ecosystem. ### 7. **Encourage Natural Processes** - **Earthworms and Insects**: Encourage earthworms and beneficial insects, which help decompose organic matter and aerate the soil. - **Natural Fertilizers**: Use natural fertilizers like fish emulsion, seaweed extract, and bone meal to provide nutrients without harming microbes. By following these steps, you can create a thriving, self-sustaining living soil that supports a diverse range of beneficial microbes and is beneficial for all plants¹²³. Do you have any specific plants in mind that you want to grow in this soil?

I have been just wetting lay pellets and feed same day by just covering with water of whatever amount. My chickens are eating way better and better egg production and quality. They are getting a nice balanced meal and no waste. They also seem to require less water even tho i always have 4 sources during summer. It's an amazing difference. If you fluff it up later in day they devoir it! My chicken are very spoiled and picky, Ha!

Hi, thanks so much for this very, very clear, and easy to follow explanation!! But please help me figure out how many buckets you would suggest for feeding this fermented feed for 7 chickens, daily? Thanks.

Fermentation is good for the nutrient value. But all feed values are based on a dry matter basis. So the only value you’re gaining is your chickens are more hydrated. You’re not actually feeding less than you could have without all the hassle of fermentation.

I've never heard of adding honey to the Borax and sugar. Could you please tell me what the purpose of the honey is?

Ant crazy yet.

Really helpful video, thanks! Just starting out so i can upgrade the food to feed my leopard gecko. Read these are more nutritious than crickets. Kinda squeemish.... but they're also gentle and kinda cute! How do you take out the beetles you want to feed to your critter?

Just soak the seeds so they swell up, then feed it to the chooks ✌🏼

Thanks for the content, Rick Grimes!

I was thinking of blending it and pouring into the tray, freeze it then put in the freeze dryer. Got any thoughts on that?? Any updates on your discoveries with using the freeze dried watermelon?

The one bucket method is so much easier. Start out with a 5 gallon food grade bucket if you have a lot of chickens. Get it fermented, takes about three days. Feed it to your chickens, when the bucket starts getting low add in your feed and your water again, and it will ferment overnight because it already has the fermented stuff there to give it a kickstart. Then just keep doing that. You can keep a bucket going for months on end. Couple times a year I completely empty out the bucket rinse it out and start over but you can keep it going basically forever if you want to. You don’t need three buckets. This is a huge waste of time and effort. The one bucket method is the way to go. I’ve been doing it for years. The main thing is to stir it well once a day.

Very informative and great recipe! However, consider making the hole smaller. Bees like sweets as well and that size hole the bees can fit in. I would recommend making the hole smaller so that beneficial insects such as bees are not harmed.

Can you remove 1 of the lids to show us that they are actually going into the jar.

THANKYOU.. Very nice.

Nice video but I have no idea why you didn't put the camera on your left vs right. Can't really see much.

Does this work for carpenter ants?

I use jars I've previously purchased which contain food..

Thanks !

I think you know less about it than me. I don’t think you are fermenting it long enough.

To slow get to the point

If ants are eating the aphids then let them enjoy their meal. Aphids can kill fruit trees.

No patience, no go.😢

@5:23 the ratio

I will try your method. My recipe has not worked that I can tell a difference on my big lot- I have big ones, little ones, Black ones & reddish brown ones- everywhere. Cannot stand in one spot long for they crawl up my shoes and bite me. I have been using apple juice & bits of waffle with borax in bottles or soda cans placed on their side UNDER pots with a brick ontop. I see ants in and around the bait. My dog is small and not outside much so not too worried about that. Borax is reported to be toxic to all insects at any dose- but it is bitter and the trick is getting them to take it to the nest and share it with their friends. Also, making the liquid too sweet will attract bees which I do not wanna do- I will use molasses or jam in place of Honey for that reason. Also using the apple juice method grows mold pretty quick so I have to start over- and I set up like 14 stations around our home outside. Waffle is reported to be more attractive for the baby ants. The Extension service in my area said Grits, Crm of Wheat etc serves at food not poison(?).

And your hat😁

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your shirt!

This is NOT what you want, this is NOT boric acid, it is actually a salt, sodium oxygen and boron, if you want an effective killer order actual Boric ACID powder

You'll be dreaming of socialism when you're old and decrepit you're imposing on your family to take care of you when they don't want to because you avoided paying taxes your whole life and you have nothing because social programs are based on how much you paid in if you avoided taxes your whole life you will get nothing I have relatives like that now they're just a bunch of whiners turns out it's not an entitlement program

Because you train them to treat them as toys

Emma said no thank you Dad lol

I wonder if you could add something like cornmeal to the ant bait, would soak up the mix & give them something to carry home to the nest.

THANKS 👍👍...I like the short swrewdriver trick...that way have something to grab to twist it around...nail is ok but small & dosent have handle to grab... Hands arent what they use to be
