Gai baaaaaaaaaaa! 🤣

Safe travels and hope to get things started back up again soon.

No Banana or Banana leaves because we have enough already in the village. The pizza boxes are a nice collection of garbage from the pandemic. Yeah I have some lifestyle challenges I am working on, but honestly I just need the carbon materials right now to get things in balance.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Thanks.....

It really depends. The stuff you get in the village shops is garbage. Those compressed briquettes are worthless. Use really wood charcoal if at all.

@NorthernThaiGardenGuy EXACTLY the answer I was looking for.... THANK YOU ! For my first two years..... I am only going to use 3 things... 1) Well composted yard materials and kitchen scraps. 2) Rice straw mulch. 3) Sparingly use 10-10-10.... There's a very good chance my plot doesn't need much help. Thanks for the feedback.

@@francus7227 I would add 1 additional thing. Chitosan. Worth every Bhat at Lazada!

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Thanks

😁

LOL! Yes, my short lived adventures of Vermiculture were fun ones. If I ever return to this series the hold music will as well. ;-)

@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Whoop whoop !

Yes. The mineral rich clay soils we have here in the North are already pack with what plants need. We only need the microbes. 👍👍

@NorthernThaiGardenGuy I don't want to be a little chihuahua nipping at your heels...... But.... 99% of Thailand garden clips are either spoken in Thai or are commercial focused or are gardens that look nothing like mine in a rice village south east of Nakon Ratchasima.. I will probably make many comments or have questions. Since I have several days of travel ahead of me.... I am about to binge watch your channel because none of us is as smart as all of us. I want to see everything you have to offer. And then, filter through the stuff that pertains to me. BTW....I have that same "Wet Sports" straw hat. Indestructible. I ran one over with my lawn mower. It spit it out like a rag. Thanks again.

@@francus7227 LOL!!! Mai mi payha! So glad you found my channel and ask away! Love to share and interact. I live up in the North (as the channel eludes to - Chiang Rai). 👍👍

You didn't see it when I moved in I guess.

Can you provide any evidence of your claims or is it just your opinion?

@ …just copy what I said and drop it in an AI… it will tell you if I am full of 💩 …but more likely it will tell you that you have just submitted the most profound awareness of soil dynamics that it has ever encountered… or just ask me specifically what you need clarification on and I’ll address it.

@@adamgatley8217 I'm especially interested in understanding where the tests were done and when they were done that your data is coming from. AI is fine for cursory info, but I want to see an actual study that refutes that which was presented 10 years ago.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Sure… here… Interactions between biochar and mycorrhizal fungi in a water-stressed agricultural soil Original Article Published: 11 April 2016 Volume 26, pages 565-574, (2016) Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Biochar on Growth, Nutrient Absorption, and Physiological Properties of Maize (Zea mays L.) by Jiahua Sun 1,2, Qiong Jia 1,2, Yi Li 1,2, Ting Zhang 1, Jiayuan Chen 1, Yanan Ren 1, Kanglong Dong 1, Shuai Xu 1, Nan-Nan Shi 1,2,*ORCID and Shenglei Fu 1,2,3,* 1 College of Geography and Environmental Science, Henan University, Kaifeng 475001, China 2 Key Laboratory of Geospatial Technology for the Middle and Lower Yellow River Regions, Henan University, Ministry of Education, Kaifeng 475001, China 3 Dabieshan National Observation and Research Field Station of Forest Ecosystem, Henan University, Kaifeng 475001, China * Authors to whom correspondence should be addressed.

Couldn't agree more!

I get stuff when I need it from Lazada, and no I have not started any Fig trees yet. Thanks for the thumbs up!

Thanks. I am boarding a plane in 3 hours.... I have two multi-day lay-overs. But.... I'll be in The Kingdom before December..... Yippee ! Hopefully, I'll get my O-ret visa. Then I'll be cultivating SOIL and growing all the plants I love. I thank you very much. I subbed, too.

You'd be surprised.

Sorry for the late reply. It has been one of those years again.

@ No worries at all. It’s been one of those years for me too. Way too busy but mostly on a good way. All the papaya transplants died by either being eaten or thru being in a low spot and got too much water 😩. I’ve got new seeds going and they’re just germinating now 🤞. How are yours doing??

@@RockinWorms That is so funny (not them dying on you, but I literally am doing the same). I went with a local variety of Papaya this time instead of the Dutch ones I was using before.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and my apologies on the late reply. Yeah with clay you need to mulch as much as possible and use NF inputs. The biology will change slowly, but for the better.

@ mulching is happening, but it also creates a haven for the moles and voles and that is a challenge. It’s also very windy so I’ve learned I need the mulch in smaller form or heavier like wood chips to keep it in place. I’m also digging in loads of compost, cold manure, worm castings with every planting and compost/casting/manure extracts are a regular practice along with loads of prayer! I’m seeing significant improvement and will be implementing more castings and extracts with my burgeoning wormery. This year I planted my garlic only after pre soaking in casting extract and I’m looking forward to seeing how that helps. Plan to implement pre treating seeds this way next year as well…

Thank you so much for these questions and my apologies for such a late response. There really isn't anything in the garden that Chitosan will not help (except for maybe Mushrooms). Foliar spray and soil drench both work great. I am using it once a month right now because of a termite issue that I am trying to address. As for fruiting plants, give it a week after your last application before harvest. Thanks again!

Actually you have it reversed. Wet humid climates as mine here in Thailand produce more acidic soils. It's typical of the heavy rains.

Why do u think that happens ​@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy

@@VictorRamirez-wi6ug Lack of rain will not leach the basic ions that cause soils to become more acidic. That's why places like Thailand have more acidic soil than say Israel.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy makes sense thank u sr

That's also what I found when I tried to ID it. I cannot tell which one it is. One is a pest and the other is a predator that I would not mind having.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy I think you need to see if you have an infestation of them. From the looks of your video I think I see others on that Ivy. Is that something you planted or wild? I know you have Mulberry trees so I would check those. If you find them there, unfortunately it's probably the Inchworm and thus a vegetative pest. 😥

One of my Mulberry trees did get decimated (along with part of a Lemon tree that I have) a few months back. We do have huge moths here, so I think you are spot on. Time to make another form of JLF.

​@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy do you see any in the air or sort of hanging? Inch worms, atleast in my area and experiences, have a thread they spit out of their mouth similar to spiders and just hang around, or try to catch wind, when they got real bad a few years ago you could literally see them falling like rain.

@@erosrogziel Much like the behavior of the one here in the video, they hang about on the foliage and inch around. I have never seen any falling or dangling.

Sure, just let me know when.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy I’m in pacific time, morning afternoon or evenings work well.

@@kofrass5730 I am IndoChina time (just now 8 minutes to 4am).

Tell me more about it

Biochar and Myccorhizae is a great combo. Biochar can only be a issue in the soil if added too much and uncharged, then can withhold nutrients from the plant. But if charged before with nutrients and if needed inoculated with soil microbiology all good. Let's say we forgot to charge the biochar then either increase a bit fertilizer or foliar sprays. Biochar was meant as a longterm strategy for soil fertility, like Terra Preta.

Let's see your test results. Would seriously love more details.

I would like to see your tests that show this. To date all these years later I have not seen any. As for Terra Preta why does it still exist in the Amazon all these thousand or years later if it was so nutrient rich?

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy Terra Preta was formed by very smart Indigenous People over many centuries. Amazon rainforest normally has low fertility and the rain leaches away nutrients. But Terra Preta has kept its superior fertility till today because it's long-term fertile and has regenerative properties, the soil grows back over time. These facts speak for the (charged/activated) biochar methods of Indigenous People not against it.

That's actually what I used in the initial going. I just didn't allow it to cycle long enough.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy sweet and I fully understand. My head is filled with so many half baked projects( mine are half baked others I’m sure are more thought out haha) that I forget to fully finish certain ones but I’ll definitely try a device bag with this style and see if the fungal activity gets too out of hand or just right. Sorry for so much words like I said this stuff is driving me crazy.

@@NoOneAnyMore4You Never apologize for sharing new ideas and I hear you on not being able to get everything done. Saw a meme on that a while ago that went "I had a lot to do today...Now I have a lot to do tomorrow". 😉

I would agree in cases of overuse.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy what I mean is, the act of cooking it makes tons of co2, generally...... and biochar should be rinsed after screening, and the water from this process is toxic.....do it sometime and you'll literally note syn gas and the like floating at the top of your bucket..... and where does that water go? Intentionally making biochar doesn't make sense in so many ways.

@@glen.simpson That I also agree with (unless the burn is done oxygenless).

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy yes, with a well thought out manufacturing process using renewable energy, stack air filtration, and water recovery and filtration system, sure.... it would be great for numerous millions of dollars...... One possible source is these biopower production plants... but they are set up to burn anything, and that they seem to do.... so who knows what is in char coming out of biomass electric plants. Not sure where there is a good source other than your wood stove, but these newer, double burn chamber stoves pretty much cook the char to ash.... and stove char really isn't prepared correctly in it's temp and duration of charring (thus, it's polluted). then there's the question of wood type for charring making.... so many options..... you got a few extra million to get something going?

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy ps. I spent a winter making biochar in a double burn chamber system..... there are very clearly voc's and other syn gases that must be burned off correctly.... poorly made char doesn't smell right. I'd maintain that fungi don;t like biochar much.... try it on your counter with anything that likes to rot.... coat that cantaloupe rind in biochar and let'r sit in a dish on the counter. Hypha inhibition. Mix some with coffee grinds, do the same thing. the coffee grinds mixed with biochar bowl with mold up more slowly than just the coffee grinds. I'm a leaf mold soil maker...black gold.

Amen!

It doesn't appear to be a nutrient issue. Even more recent studies are finding that it's more related to the feed stock of the char and the temp it was made at.

properly made bio char should be void of any significant P..... it is literally 99.9% carbon....... no N, P,K or anything else.

@@NorthernThaiGardenGuy where is that science?

@@glen.simpson Check out my first episode's links in the description box.

This is Thailand (not the US). We have a well on the property.

It really is funny you say that because I did think the same thing. The healing process for the Avocado will take a while, and I do plan to do updates on it by the end of the year.

It's really best in sandy soils. Any other type of soil and you need to use it in very low percentages by volume and for very specific reasons (like heavy metal contamination).

It's not a one size fits all amendment that a lot of people have been led to believe it is, and it has shown to cause serious trouble with some of the native Fungi in our soils (such as Mycorrhizal Fungi). You need to think about why you are wanting to add it before doing so (because as I said here...once it's in it's not coming out).

That is a test I have been wanting to do for a while now. I will see what I can get put together for coming episodes. Thank you for the suggestion!

Look forward to watching that down the line. Good luck with your gardening man

@@Twatnuggies Thank you!
