5:33-6:16 fungal hyphae with oxalate crystals? ---- I am missing the sharp breaking at the ends and the clear outer wall?!

Does pouring Leachate through a worm tower a few times over again (reusing the leachate) make it more aerobic? Or do we have to first let it dry out? Also what is the difference in letting the castings dry then watering them versus putting leachate directly on the soil, which will eventually experience dryer phases?

Whats wrong with using s moldbrd plow?

i'm curious what is the best material to use when setting up plants in a pot. i have recently started gardening but don't really know what i'm doing. i recently discovered dr. elaine and her SWF method and have been trying to learn the process. i checked a sample of one of my potted plants under the microscope and it appears the soil has gone anaerobic because I saw lots of ciliates zooming around (about 2-3 per drop of the sample).

congratulations! i would love to hear about our graduation project and also how to scale down the extract for a 5 gal bucket. also, what is the dark brown oval spot on the right side of your slide at the 5:51 mark? i have city water and am curious about the two filters you have plumbed inline to remove chlorine and chloramine. you said one is a "pre filter" but what exactly is it? what would i need to google to do more research for these?

I believe you are planting white oaks.

I would like to know more about amateur microscopy. Info is very scarce.. We need to learn how to find and prepare proper sample. We need to learn more advance technique and tools (ex stain, centrifuge, diy fluorescence, cheap diy filters such polarised/darkfield/color). We also need fun challenge: growing glow in the dark e coli, finding magnetotactic bacteria in your local pound, finding tardigrade on moss in wood, keeping microbes alive as a pet for years, doing various timelapse, increasing video/photo quality, get a new project involved with Inaturalist to bring awareness and maybe get more people involved with science.

is that half inch tubing? im at home depot. half inch looks right.. i think they only come in 1/2" or 1/4" drip apparently they make 5/8" also, i just bought 2 of them snap on couplers that couples 1/2"-5/8" and some extra 1/2" tubing. cost like $7 total soo eyeballing everything went wrong. the irrigation tubing is 3/4" and it broke where it met up with sprinkler PVC. whatever size that is ... inner diameter outet diameter. who makes up this shit

I did a raised bed this year... 23' x 2' x 10" high. I used horse manure (3 years old) + wood chips on the top (inoculate with urine for 1 month). This was an amazing experience: only need to water 4 times in the whole season!

I did a new raised bed garden this spring: I only had to do watering 4 time in the whole summer! For comparison, my mother live about 30 km from here and sometime, she has to water many times within the same week. The secret.... I put 10 inch of 3 years horse compost and a 1 inch layer of wood chips on top. The wood chips come from small branches and were mixed with pee for 1 month to activate them. I did a microscope analysis and it was full of life from day 1. At the end of the season, I now have more fungi (from the wood chip, going down). I'm very impressed by how living soil can be so efficient to regulate the water content. I was planning doing drip tape irrigation... but there was no need for irrigation!

Well.. ok, but what would the analysis be if you have a defective batch? My guess is it would be full of bacteria and ciliates because it went anaerobic and acidic. My other guess is the microscope analysis will give you information BEFORE the soup smell bad, isn't? Still... acidity is a good thing (in moderation) for many fruits such as raspberry. Could we put a small amount of acidic anaerobic compost over a raspberry patch?

Great video, but even dead and at 600x it's very hard to make the difference between some of them. With the camera, you can pause the video so you save time (don't need to kill them). How confident are you to properly identification of them in general?

I know some guys that worked on compost extraction commercially with microscopic analysis. They both use plaster mixers (paint mixers in 5-gal bucket for the home grower). They said it had 7x better extraction than using air pumps, and there was no damage to the biology.

Amazing. So glad to understand the underpinnings of what makes the many “natural” forms of land restoration/management/farming successful…and how to fast track the process. I feel like this video just pulled back the curtain on the heart of that success! Thank you

Congratulations!!! I'm in stage 2 of the CTP working on extracts. May I check out your final project porfavor please and thank you.

what breed of chicken was that 1st little chicken-baby? :)

Imagine doing this in a subdivision

What was the need to go "fast forward" right when trying to get wrench on to the fittings. Killed the video as far as being helpful! Not everyone know exactly how to do it!

Nice 😊

On your small 5 gallon bucket system, have you tried dumping the compost directly into the water and just mix up the water or use your bubbler. Then jut poor the mixture through your strainer into another bucket. I think it yields more biology into the water.

Good to see the example of a large lawn. Contrary to popular belief lawns can contribute to carbon sequestration. According to the research of Cristina Milesi "well-watered and fertilized lawn is a carbon sink. If people recycle the grass clippings, leaving them to decompose on the lawn, the U.S. lawn area could store up to 16.7 teragrams of carbon each year. That’s equivalent to about 37 billion pounds-the weight of about 147,000 blue whales." earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Lawn/lawn3.php I mow lawns for a living using all electric equipment. The grass is finely mulched left on the lawn almost sight unseen. The mulched grass is soil critter chow.

To increase subsoil moisture I fill the hole with water and plant the tree the following day providing a reservoir. Mulching prevents evaporation

Can you make a video explaining which microbes are good and which are bad for soil?

Hello. When we start with soil food web approach, can we start with only the extract instead of the compost itself? Preparing so much compost is a tedious task. May be grow cover crops and regularly use compost extract for a season?

Is the water city water? That is, does it matter if it might have chloramines, etc. in it?

Very creative. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

I'd love to have you share how to do it in a 5 gallon pail.🤩

I'm taking Dr. Ingham's foundation courses. You were a life line to me when I needed to buy my own microscope. So thank you so much. Please know how helpful your videos are. I'd like to learn more about your final project and any other helpful videos you have. With gratitude...Hilda

How long did you wait before using the woodchips?

I get why you do not want hot water from a hose, but why cold? I have been using sun warmed rain water when I make extracts, is there a reason why I should stop doing that? A couple off subject question. Been using a lot of chop and drop of comfrey and other materials on my raised beds. How much of the nutrients are actually returned to the soil? I can not get a definitive answer. Will hot composting kill beneficial fungal spores? I never let my hot compost get beyond 160F, try to flip at around 145F. Experimenting with adding mostly finished leaf mold to my resting hot compost to increase the fungal component. Second year using no external imports for my garden. I check my soil amendments, extracts and teas with a microscope, opened a whole new world. One thing that bothers me with a lot of RUclips videos is people are recommending using teas and extracts but not using a microscope, they have no clue what they are producing. Stay Well!!!

Nice video. At 7:48 in this video, you have a video of a beautiful river and countryside. Where is that?

My wrench is having a hard time gripping it to turn!

Good informational video. I'm curious why didn't you just apply the repair tape and not have to cut the pipe nor use the coupling?

Great video. Would like more info on how you are using your a-frame level.

Hello, the dropper that you use is calibrated to measure drops per ml?

lol. This bro gives better instructions on how to use all the features of a typical light microscope than any of my professors ever did.

Do grains and vegetables need fungi?

If you missed part 1. Here it is. How to test your Soil Biology using a Shadowing Microscope / Part 1 ruclips.net/video/wZmpI7LPjLs/видео.html

Where part one doughhhhh?

Gods way of nature ..

Organic for the people!!!

Why poor at the base of the trees? Could there be more benefit from pooring further out along the expected root line? If doing on a schedule of some kind, would you poor over the same spot each time or along other spots ? Whould that expand the network of goodness?

Excellent work... I use a 55 gal food grade trash can, bubble the crap out of it, and hope for the best... I don't have a microscope... Any advice? I'm an 'everything but the kitchen sink kinda guy", so it's humic acid, fish isolate, seaweed extract, high brix molasses, even azomite... Am I overdoing it, or killing it with love? I also like to put everything loose in the barrel... I put a screen bag over an intake to a pump, and pump it through a garden hose all over the place... Any thoughts on the stresses a pump puts on the biology? Impeller forces, sudden pressure changes etc...

Congrats, Welcome back. Of course we want to see more...

Dude!! I would love to see this done after bubbling with an oxygen machine pushing 95% oxygen like grandma’s old machine. I’m curious what the higher purity of oxygen does to the microbes. I think it might be killing off bad bacteria, I’m bubbling a worm casting tea with recharge & Photosyntheses plus for additional microbes. Liquid kelp or simple sugar. WHAT IS THE HIGHER PURITY OF OXYGEN DOING to the microbes when brewing?

Dr Ingham changed the way I garden 3 years ago. Pick up a decent microscope, to see exactly what I was putting into my garden. Vermicompost from my natural bedding worm bins is crazy with soil life. New subscriber, Seay Well!!!

Congratulations on your certification! Please share your project with us. Also, please show us how to prepare the compost tea in a 5 gallon container. Can you also point out the bacteria and nematodes on your microscope slide? How can one determine all the other bacteria, fungi, protozoan, nematodes, etc. present in the compost?

That was easy. I was going to use J.B. Weld to patch the hole.
