    Last week I watched a video at Epic Gardening on YT, where they experimented with different forms of soil prep -- one was a control plant, one had kitchen scraps, one had garden scraps, one had eggs, etc. The control plant (just a well-developed composted soil) did the best! I think when your fertilizer requires a breakdown period of time, you're not going to get the best results short-term.

    I recently bought a place in the South of France and have been trying to eradicate the yellow mimosa (silver wattle - Acacia dealbata) that had invaded the yard. In searching for solutions, I came across a video from South Africa on the closely related and equally invasive black wattle. Apparently they are allelopathic. Moreover, the leaves are extremely high in tannins and hydrophobic. I assume this explains why, since clearing a large thicket and leaving the leaves a year ago, nothing has grown where I left them. I think they’d be better used for suppressing weeds in paths. I wonder if it could be the same for your pink mimosa. Incidentally, don’t try chipping the trunks and branches of Acacia dealbata. I burnt out a brand new chipper/shredder on them in only three days…

    Personally I'd put that stuff in the swamp juice barrel if you're still keeping one. I tend to think it could be that nitrogen availability was tied up in breaking it down. Like someone mentioned, relating to another channel and their experiment (which I watched and was tempted to state the same) which also theorized it was probably this effect you used, which I should probably learn. Thanks David, great content as always.

    I was going to do the same thing with Mimosa Leaves next year as I didn't get mine picked in time. But I'm wondering if your beds will do better NEXT year after the Mimosa Leaves compost a bit more??? I'm going to try a cover crop of broadleaf FL Mustard (to eat) and to turn under for my spring garden next year & see what results that brings. We've got to remain vigilante trying to find good sources of fertilizer when there is not any available or affordable. I like staying ORGANIC as much as possible during these very trying times trying to grow anything in our crazy weather here in the deep south!! I'm preparing for this upcoming freeze for possibly Tues, Wed & Thurs. this week. Even tho temps indicate a low of 35 Tues/Thurs I remember March 20, 2023 this year when we weren't supposed to get below freezing & woke to frost & freezing temps. I don't trust the weather predictions anymore. My garden is producing exceptionally NOW and did NOTHING this past summer!! I pruned all my plants back late summer and they resprouted and are doing FABULOUS now that the temps are cooler. I've got lots of tomatoes & blooms, bell peppers galore and tons of winter squash & Chayote Squash if I can save it all from this cold front coming!!

    I have watched several videos of people burying various things in the garden lately. While I have only seen a limited number of the vids that are available, I can say that every one that I have seen have ended with either no difference or worse results than their control. It would seem to me that most anything you bury in the garden should be composted beforehand. The process of breaking things down appears to take away from what is available for the plants until the process is finished.

    I wonder if even though there is tons of nitrogen in the leaves. Maybe it’s possible that there is also a compound or bacterium in the leaves that collects atmospheric nitrogen or in the plant itself that more or less sponge absorbs it’s preventing it’s use in plants. Very interesting. I wonder how that bed would produce next year with and without the mimosa.

    Have you ever tried another of the woody nitrogen fixing trees called Paulownia. We are using it out here on the west coast to make biochar. It grows very quickly, can take below freezing temps and makes great biochar that we use to help our humanure to compost quicker among other uses.
    The Paulownia tree is also somewhat allopathic and the study I found said that Paulownia cut the germination rate of wheat. It is considered invasive but some of our neighbors are growing groves of them so they can make biochar on a regular basis. I've been following your experiments and wondered if the Paulownia and the Empress are the same tree or are they just 2 different species of the same type of tree. Something else that I'm not completely solid on is the DNA of the Paulownia tree that has special properties that can make liquid fertilizer using the biochar and specific ferments.

    Mimosa Trees dispersed in an orchard to feed the other trees around it with the excess nitrogen in it's root system, is good for the Perennials that way, but putting it's leaves on the soil as a mulch, might not break down and has other compounds that actually harm annuals that we plant in our Gardens, it might not be the Nitrogen that breaks down and releases into the soil, but other compounds it possesses that affects the annuals, You didn't seem to have a problem with it feeding your Perennials with their leaves, but it is having adverse affects on the Annuals, making them unproductive and trying to bolt, showing that the leaves compounds of other trace elements are affecting the uptake of nutrients to the annuals! For Perennials they don't effect, because often Perennials have symbiotic relationships with one another, and they might produce compounds to deter root growth from annuals as a way to protect their root zones from weeds overtaking them! Just a thought! Hope it helps!

    We have plenty of mimosa as well as tree of heaven. Did a deep dive on the latter the other day in the context of ramial chipped wood. One source claimed tree of heaven might be the fastest growing tree in the world, so obviously it would be great if it could be used for fertility. Found a study about using some concoction of tree of heaven bark (possibly root bark) as an herbicide. They found it fairly effective, but also found that the effects wore off after like 15 days. I didn’t dig enough to see if they had a theory for how the herbicidal/allelopathic compounds broke down. I wouldn’t think it would be as simple as sunlight, so probably some kind of microbial activity. But I wonder if a short/incomplete composting step with just a mix of green leaves and soil (to innoculate) might break stuff like that down before you lose a lot of nitrogen and it no longer makes sense as a straight fertilizer.

  • @SLORTA5
    @SLORTA5 Год назад

    Nitrogen "fixes" to the roots of the plant as nodules and is released to the surrounding soil as trees are cut back. The leaves if used when brown / dried will initially suck the nitrogen out of the soil as they break down. This is why they work well as a mulch helping to suppress weeds in two ways both physically and chemically. Burying woody material helps in the following years so if you're wanting productive beds for the next season it's something that should be avoided. Do it on a fallow and be sure to add high nitrogen fertilizer / urine in order to help the material initially break down. As others have stated, if you're wanting to use the leaves as a fertilizer it's best to add them to your liquid compost barrel, or perhaps as an ingredient in the compost pile.

    @ddebernardy Год назад +1

    Another type of leaf would have made little difference. The nitrogen fixing is done in (or in non-legume cases on or around) the roots. Predators and fungal networks then move the nitrogen around. You can speed up the sharing by pruning the plants, as this prompts the plants to let roots die.

    • @ddebernardy
      @ddebernardy Год назад +2

      @@davidthegood Legumes have a bit more protein in them than other plants, but only so much. Also, a caveat is that plants will soak up key nutrients before letting go of leaves (or branches), and that makes legume leaf litter no better than other leaf litter. Is there any chance you used leaf litter in your experiment? If I may suggest a variation of your nitrogen experiment, let white clover invade a bed, suppress as you plant or transplant, and give the clover a regular prune afterwards. Use a rice knife for effective pruning. Also add dandelions for more nutrient fixing.

  • @jeil5676
    @jeil5676 Год назад +1

    I would think the nitrogen in legumes would mostly remain in the soil and thats why its used as a cover crop moreso. The leaves on the surface ,potentially would release some nitrogen directly to atmosphere and breaking down the carbons might use even more nitrogen from the soil. Just theory of course cuz we are all playing a sort of guessing game in the garden.

    You should add it to compost and let it decompose first

      Normally, yes, but that was not the experiment.

    Maybe upset the balance of bacteria to fungi which they say is optimal at 50%

    Maybe the mimosa didnt break down enough and interfered with nutrient absorption ? 🤔✌🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

    I think it's a good illustration of how this fixation people have with nitrogen isn't the wisest course of action. One might almost think that nitrogen could only get into the soil via leguminous plants, or that other plants could only access nitrogen in the soil if it was first placed there by some leguminous plant in the past. Human nature being what it is, we always tend to look for a single solution to even the most complex systems. Someone mentions nitrogen, and the next thing you know, everyone is running around planting legumes. The more people repeat the tale, the more people believe the tale. Before you know it, it's accepted gospel that nobody questions. We saw this same thing in the last few decades in the fascination with NPK man-made fertilizers. Then someone wisely noted that the soil biome requires calcium, manganese, and a billion other little trace elements that were strip-mined from the soil over generations of "traditional" farming in the post-WW2 era.

    Sounds like it would have been better to have just put the leaves in the compost pile then added as finished compost.

    Looks like the mimosa plants have too much mimosinal in them.

    @thehuntfortruth Год назад

    Shade probably has a lot to do with it. Those are cold season veggies. This also means mimosa is at best a not useful chop and drop plant & at worst.... JEFF LAUGHTON LIED TO US!
