Breeding Squash Bug Resistant Squash *2021 Midseason Update*
Просмотров 6863 года назад
Join me as I stroll around the squash patch and marvel at how well the C. moschata varieties are doing in relation to the squash bugs. As a part of a SARE grant, I am creating a Grex (flock of genetics) of extra resistant, tasty and vigorous squash varieties in order to select genetics that shrug off squash bugs. Many of these plants are F1 crosses from last years grow out. In this video I disc...

Here’s a look at this years moschata squash plants 60 days in. We’ve seen quite a bit of squash bug pressure and many plants taking off in the face of that. Lots of fruit set (especially on Lofthouse squash) 60 days in which is pretty remarkable.
Grafted Pawpaws in the Permaculture Forest Garden
Просмотров 3083 года назад
Working with a wild stand of pawpaws is an amazing example of joining with nature to create exponential yield increase, diversity and overall abundance. We have been working with this native tree on its home turf in our forest gardens for a few years. While we plant select pawpaw seedlings to increase genetic diversity of this stellar fruit, we also see value in grafting selected cultivars like...
Breeding C. Moschata for Squash Bug Resistance (Introduction to SARE Grant 2021)
Просмотров 5983 года назад
2021 is an exciting growing year. I am endeavoring my second year breeding C. moschata squash in an effort to select for resilience in the face of squash bug pressure! I received a SARE grant to create a squash Grex (a mash up of genetics) from which I and others will select resilient genetics that withstand squash bugs and their associated diseases, especially focusing on Cucurbit yellow vine ...

Using urine as fertilizer is a powerful, accessible and resilient practice to integrate us intimately into our gardens. We waste such precious fertility every day, not to touch upon the widespread pollution when this resource becomes a burden on waterways. High in nitrogen, phosphorus and many other trace minerals, urine is a great fertilizer that our bodies produce everyday. Using and collecti...
Catching a Honeybee Swarm
Просмотров 1783 года назад
Our natural apiary allows for honeybees to go through their innate processes and behaviors. Their tendencies to swarm is so often suppressed in conventional beekeeping , but we are pleased to allow the bees we tend to swarm as they see fit. This magical process increases genetic diversity, creates more hygienic conditions (by creating brood free cycles thereby suppressing pest buildup)and multi...

Duck Coop Built with Salvaged and Natural Materials
Просмотров 4364 года назад
Hey y’all! Hope you enjoy this tour of our duck coop we just finished. We built it using all salvaged and natural materials except for some screws and 2x4s from a local mill. Building on the cheap, but still making it beautiful and artsy! One wall is even made using local bamboo in a wattle and daub weave. The finish clay plaster turned out very well. Cedar posts a from our land for structure.

We’ve come to know and love the North American indigenous fruit, the wild Pawpaw, Asimina triloba. From it’s pleasing foliage, to maroon flowers and later to unbelievable sweet & plump fruit, it offers much to the adventurous forager. For thousands of years, humans have been eating and selecting choice pawpaws. Over time genetics are passed on and selections are made for superior tree growth an...

Midsummer Permaculture Gardens on the Homestead
Просмотров 1955 лет назад
The gardens are lovely this time of year on the homestead. In our 4th summer, it’s been a pure pleasure to play in them. The soil has improved considerably (though we still have a ways to go until it reaches a lush loamy tilth!) We’ve also had an incredibly rain early summer and though the rains have tapered considerably in the past month, the gardens are lovely! Today after a rain I took a sil...

Herbalism | Growing & Using Valerian as Medicine
Bacteria in the soil will break it down thus it will not smell
0:46 1 day? year? Life time? worth of pee to grow that much?
Finally, a fertilizer in my budget! 😝
Banana trees and Japanese Yucca go berserk on full strength urine. If you take vitamins then drink a few beers they like that too.
For anyone interested, here is a fantastic infographic on how to properly collect, store, and use urine safely and with minimal odor. richearthinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Urine-Fertilizer-Home-Garden-Guide_091123.pdf
Another option to use instead of vinegar or citric acid (agree with others, the wood ash will actually raise the pH) to stabilize the urine and limit ammonia off-gassing is Effective Microorganisms or lactobacillus serum. I add about a cup of EM to a 1 gallon bucket that I pee into and once full, pour into a 5-7 gallon sealed container (will also add in about a cup of molasses and some fine ground biochar), which usually takes around a month or so to fill. Then I start the process over with a new 5-7 gallon container. Once the second one is full, I know the first one has sat/brewed long enough (can test with pH strips and as long as it is under 4) to be ready to use diluted in the garden. Aside from the EM or LAB keeping the stored urine from becoming stinky or losing a lot of the volatile nitrogen, another added benefit of using it is that you are adding a ton of beneficial microbes to your soil as well. I’ve had 7 gallon containers of EM brewed urine sitting in the garage for 4-6 months over the winter that have absolutely no bad smell (usually smell slightly sweet and fermented) and are highly active when I start using them in the early Spring. And the nitrogen will be in an active form that the plants can readily access when a lot of the soil nitrogen is still locked up and unavailable due to the cooler soil temps.
Are you related to Woody Harrelson?
This is exactly the information I needed! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this!
Why filter out the ashes?
1:22 Adding acid like vinegar or citric acid sounds make sense. But, do I need to be concerned about chemical reaction or anything like that when adding acid? Thank you.
No. While human urine can have some variability in pH due to diet and health of the individual, it tends to be rather neutral and usually in the 6-8 range. So adding an acid to it, or fermenting it with lactobacillus or effective microorganisms, is only going to lower the pH, helping to reduce the volatilization of the nitrogen. There won’t be any other chemical reactions that you need to worry about since there aren’t any strong bases and acids being combined.
How often to use it ? Why can’t we replace with comfrey mulch ? Do you add any thing else in urine fertiliser? Thankyou
The musky smell of Valerian is wonderfully similar to odor of Spikenard, which is known only in the Himalayas, and is incredibly expensive! It is an important ingredient in some of the most precious perfumes.
Great video
How do you deal with deer / wild animals? Is your property fenced off?
Maybe there's just such a variety and quantity of plants that the deer don't destroy everything. Deer pressure is generally heavy in western st charles and Warren county of late and it's definitely a concern of mine.
It won't be long now on farmers will figure out that they can use their tractors to make free form Adobe by the truckload and build houses from mills
I love this I too live in the Ozarks and grow bamboo and build with freeform Adobe I would love to show you my dog house chicken coop.
I didn't catch what I can use instead of ashes. Vinegar or citric acid I think. What ratio?
Ashes raise the pH and might help ammonia gas off - not what we want
Thanks mate shine on
I didn't know it's eddible.
I have alpacas. Their 💩 is gold!!
I live in a non-freezing climate and I use a urine-separating composting toilet. The yellow stuff goes straight into the greywater plumbing and thence to mulch beds surrounded by plants. No complaints so far after almost 15 years.
Yep works great. I lived off hrid and used composting toilet during that time...the humanuer was the best compost ivever used
How has this project evolved since.
How long did you ferment your peeee
I love digeridoooss! And I have an off grid cabin & future full time homestead in the Launaudiere Mountain range in Quebec; And im wondering what panels and system that you guys are using and if you've been happy happy with it?
This is awesome! Do you know how to estimate the nitrogen and phosphate rate in each litre of urine?
Hey, im all with you on this. EXCEPT the part where you talked about using human manure as fertilizer. DO NOT do that. Also don't use the manure from cats, dogs or any other carnivorous mamal. I cannot stop you from doing it in your own garden, for your own use. But if you sell or trade or even give away things you grow like I do DO NOT do this. There's a very high probability of passing on parasites or prion diseases which can kill people or animals. Its exponentially worse with mammals who eat meat because not only are they much more likely to have infection overlap with us, but we can not only contract anything they have but also anything any animal THEY ATE had. With humans obviously its the worst. Not only are we omnivores but we also obviously can all get any disease any other human can get. Cow manure. That's the way to go. They don't eat meat, they have a very thorough digestive process. Even if you don't eat beef, or are not comfortable slaughtering a large animal just keep one as a lawnmower/ fertilizer machine. They are very docile good companions too if you raise them from an early age. Other acceptable choices are chickens, goats, oxen and im sure there's more ive never tried if you look into it.
I think he’s talking about composting toilets, not directly putting human poo on garden.
One of the best videos on the subject. Short and succint, but packed with good info. Thank you!
Do I have to pull it up every year? What time of year should it be divided? It did not flower, It is nearly January now and I only have a small clump - can i I leave it for next year? It took a long time last spring to cultivate it from seed so due to having only a bit I can't really use it yet or there will be nothing left.
Thankyou. I need to get seeds. And Grow my own.i have racing thoughts . Dont want pills anymore😢
Youre doing a service to the future of humanity!
Great video, and wonderful concept.
Did you say "c-eye-tric acid"? Lol. You dummy. Its citric acid.
Must age it for 1 month minimum to killa ny medication
Sorry, I can't turn around right now I'm fertilizing.
Are you going to be selling any seed in the future? I am in SW Washington state and the squash bugs hit for the first time last summer and were back again this year. I tried growing Jumbo Pink Banana and they were wiped out. I have some Acorn and Delicate that have survived but set fewer fruits.
Great pee tips, and, I love the Tiroler hat.
You should read the old classic ,,The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. The chinese for a thousand years used their human wastes to fertilise their gardens. However the human DNA is taken up in the root systems .Yep. Consequently feeding yourselves back your own selves on a micro level. Consuming veggies from human wastes fertilisers has been proven to lower your intelligence over subequent generations from using that method. Go read the book and study agronomy with the fusion of human genetics combined. Your wastes are full of your dna and proteins. So libtarded and proven to cause stupidity. Why teach your children this massively ignorant and diabolical method when ancient Chinese kings used it to depopulate their masses to be more easily docile and controlled? Like they are today under the thumb of the CCP. Then again stupid does what stupid does. Carry on.
I can just see him planting his cuttings into a fresh terd
On a serious note. Cholera, e-coli and hepatis is a big risk using number twos.. In Tasmania Australia a large majority of the mining town population was wiped out from Cholera in the 1850's from non existent sewer management.
I watched an interesting video from a USA university where they pasterised the collected urine using a solar powered heat bank before using it. To kill any fecal contamination of the number ones.
I believe urea is actually pretty stable, and doesn't rapidly degrade into ammonia.
This is spectacular 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love from Maryland
Very awesome! I was so happy on my first year completed compost/humanure too!!! My trees are stoked!
I really want seeds from you… what else are you breeding? I’m in Branson, mo
What about using a little Coffee? To neutralize the smell
Add biochar instead. Try it. You'll be glad you did.
get a new camera person! the camera work made me nauseous lol
Molasses would add potassium
Is that also called "elephant garlic"?
My husband collects his urine for me all summer to use on my very large garden. It works really well on the garden. I never thought of adding the ashes,I usually just store in a gallon jug and then dilute to use about once or twice a week.
