I work with sodium and potassium hydroxide professionally. Just a safety tip for the future. Always add your strong base to water. Not water to strong base. When you add water to a larger amount of strong base you run the risk of flash boiling the water and the subsequent steam produced can blow base material out of the reaction vessel and/or cause boil over. You have better control of the speed of the reaction if you slowly add your strong base to a larger volume of water. Love the videos btw.
thank you for this important and informative comment... with this particular concoction though it is done this way because we need to utilize that blast of heat from the reaction in order to get a high enough temperature to successfully melt the sulfur... very high temps are needed to melt sulfur like this... if we slowly add like you say then the temps are not sufficient to melt... but remember I did not invent this system I'm just showing exactly how it was taught to me!!... thank you my friend!
Same safety principle in making soap. You have the water in the large container, then add the lye (sodium hydroxide). Also, I wear long sleeves and gloves.
@@gardenlikeaviking I support you. I make JWA and the order is very important as it is been researched and tested over time by Yonsang Cho. The heat is required to melt the Sulfur. That is why they also advise have some extra cool water nearby to lower the temperature if needed. But it is not supposed to boil. That is too hot, so maybe more water was needed at the start.
A Firefighter told me chlorine, especially will explode, and can be catastrophic. I won't buy it in powder form anymore only pool pucks just in case. I like this whole discussion tho...safety 1st.
PLEASE make a video on the wetting agent! These are the best JADAM videos, you make it accessible for smaller scales which is a great innovation, thank you. JWA sounds amazing but the caustic potash makes me nervous so I'd love to see how you do it
I made liquid soap before and I find it easier for me to use the crockpot/ slow cooker. I also store the paste in the fridge and only use the amount of paste I want to dissolve in distilled water when I ran out of the soap. My paste stock had been in the fridge for 6 years now. I used the neem oil as my base oil. I initially made the soap for my children a eczema rather than as insecticide. But now I use it for my plants too.
@@gardenlikeaviking great, I can’t wait :) I feel better having all this stuff on hand even if it will be next year by the time I really get to use a lot of it. JWA is high on my list.

Thank you for sharing. I have been using chemical fungicide for years since doing conventional farming. Since knowing this I will change the old system.....❤❤
Awesome! I just used an entire 32 oz of store-bought and it didn't even cover one application. I thought it would last the season! I was almost in tears. I can't afford that!

You have never mentioned neem oil (from the neem tree). Yesterday morning, I was horrified when I saw a solid thick infestation of aphids on my frangipani tree. I sprayed the underside of the leaves with neem oil (and a wetting agent plus water). That night the aphids were gone. I spray leaves that are being eaten (grasshoppers came through, plus others). Insects don't like it, but bees and ladybugs and such are fine. It's also supposed to be good for white mould. It's good for your skin - I put it in my bath water when mosquitoes are bad. It doesn't smell good, so I sometimes add lavender oil in my bath which covers the smell. Or make up a salve. It's amazing stuff and I keep a spray bottle handy. I use the expensive kind because I know it's pure and it doesn't take much. I also use Diatomaceous Earth to keep the hard shell bugs out of the garden. I had some insect attacking my lemon tree and just threw it up in the air over the leaves. The ancient coral sand rips open their shell and cuts them up. I also add this into the corner of my windows to block the ants. Works on cockroaches, too. Just sharing my experience. In the meantime, I've just made a 55g drum of fish fertiliser because I'm going through my quick fish fertiliser so quickly. And I've got plant waste brewing. And the biochar. And the ingredients for the wetting agent soap arrived yesterday. I'm stepping out of retirement for a few weeks and will send you a thankyou when I can - I've passed on your site to several keen gardeners AND my favourite rare herb online shop . Thankyou for sharing your experience and knowledge. You've changed my life! You're awesome!
Powdery mildew can be killed off with a milk and water combo (50/50 I think?), which you then just spray on for a few days. I had to use this once because my strawberries had it, after they got rained on in summer. It fixed it right up!
Thank you for all your videos. I bought the Jadam book but your videos are easier to understand. Please make a video of JWA and a video of how to mix JWA, JS and JHS.
Made my first batch of Jadam sulfur yesterday, working with ~5 lbs of sulfur. Allowed it to cool overnite and packaged this morning. I'm storing the solution in repurposed HDPE containers (cleaned Clorox and laundry detergent containers). I'll not use glass containers out of concern for breakage - the solution is pH ~12, and it would be an awful mess to deal with if spilled in the house. Also would not use thin-walled plastics (e.g. gallon milk jugs), and will store them on the bottom-most shelves with secondary containment. Thanks for the video!
yes I found a need in the JADAM community for a good concise explanation of how to do it in the home garden and for a western audience so thats why I am making these... thank you and I say go for it!!
I tried three times..its.harder than u think..i blame the out side temps...tho to be truthful it may of worked as i have zero confidence. My grandpa dusted his seed potatoes with sulfur..or so i think so..im pushing 80 and well memories are always sus.
Oh...and here's the recipe, cos no one seems to have done it yet. Natural Fungicide 2.5kg sulfur (pure) 2kg sodium hydroxide 250g Himalayan salt (even though he keeps saying sea salt) 5L water (initial) 3.2L (final) 10ml = 2tsp JADAM sulfur 90ml = 3oz Castile soap (wetting agent) Per gallon of water. Apply only at night. Re-apply for 3-5 nights in a row, until the situation has been treated.
Very good video. Can We make small qty ? Í understood that if We see problem We spray this solution continously 3to 5 days. Ís it correct? Can We use this solution fór aphids, Mites & white flies?
I want to start by thanking you for making great videos. It's so inspiring to learn ways to produce quality food while benefiting the soil. I watched my first Garden Like a Viking video about a month ago, and have already made and applied L.A.B.S, and the natural pesticide. Last night I started the JADAM wetting agent, and Saturday I am making the fungicide as well as the water soluble calcium. I have to wait for the weather to warm up before I can make the fish hydrolysate and the JLF.
@@gardenlikeaviking everything I have heard from you so far can be applied. But I am sure there are some tricks and tips that have not come to light specifically for cannabis. Keep making videos I am telling others about your channel whenever an opportunity presents itself.
@@gardenlikeaviking think you would be surprised on the interest. The cannabis industry is by far the highest hit by the “ag” industry. I’ve seen people drop over a grand in nutrients and microbes for a small basement garden per run. It’s brutal. There’s a channel called mr grow it and he did a pod cast about jadam and cannabis but there’s no instructions or anything. I’m in the industry and sent 10 growers to your channel in just the last week. You’re the man Nate
@@patrickgagne8795 I feel you brother!!.. I spent many years growing in southern Humboldt... indoor, light dep and full term I did it all... this is where I learned many of these skills and found my passion for growing... its also where I learned of the extortionate almost criminal profits being made by the fertilizer companies for things that do not need to cost much at all... it forced me to learn to make everything I possibly can myself!!... thanks for the support my friend!
Hello Nate, the Viking ! Thank you for another awesome video. I always share your video's with family and friends. Have learnt so much, I love the way you explain and demonstrate the process in all of your video's. You the "Best"
"make sure you're wearing protective equipment" He says as he stands there in shorts, bare feet and no shirt... My kinda people. Jokes aside, anyone not familiar with Sodium Hydroxide, getting the smallest amount in your eye will change your life in all the wrong ways. Even just the dust from pouring it, don't screw around.
lol... you're absolutely correct and after doing this so many times over the years I know what I can personally get away with but never ever take even a slight chance on the eyes!!! always protect them!
lol for sure they already thing me strange because my yard is the only one filled to the brim with flowers and vegetables with bees buzzing all over the place while theirs is just clean cut green grass and nothing else!
@Erin S On page 296 of the JADAM book there’s a chart detailing six volumes of JS, starting with five litres. The math to scale to any volume is very basic.
There's another one method using calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) instead of sodium hydroxide. When using calcium hydroxide you'll need to heat the mixture because it won't heat by itself. The method you shared with us is better because without the need of extra heating source you save lots of energy!
It is indeed! If you ever have powdery mildew on something, and you haven't made this stuff up yet, use a combo of milk and water (50:50 will probably do, I can't remember exactly). I had this issue on my strawberries once, and this fixed it right up. You have to spray it on for a few days straight though, but it absolutely works! Really important for fruiting crops too, because you don't want to be spraying them with anything toxic if you're going to be eating it later. I try so hard to avoid toxic poisons.
Brotherman....the "eye protection on..." sans shirt is priceless!! Jokes aside, I really enjoy your work, and am learning so much from you. Mad Respect, One Love
cant wait to try this!!!! ive been swapping between peroxide/water mix and ph 8.5 water ( baking soda) although the best defence is always a healthy plant... this seems more that direction :)
Nate, I love your vids my bro! I live in Georgia and we have to deal with chiggers in the summer; they can cause you a lot of sleepless nights scratching. I use sulfur in an old sock to dust my lower legs, shoes and socks to keep them, and ticks off if I'm working in grass or going in the woods. I think this is the solution to the damping off I get with my turnips and mustard greens. I'm going to make this and pre-treat the soil before sowing the seeds. Skal!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I first discovered your channel while researching JADAM and I think you explain it very well. I would imagine that if you did a JWA it would be well worth watching as well.
Thank you Austin and yes I felt the JADAM community was lacking a good concise set of instructions for the home garden western audience so I set out to clarify it!
I like the style of this guy. Focused to results. Good channel. I lost rose trees with mold that i created on wet grounded coffee. We learn from mistakes too :-)
I wish I had known that about the food grade bucket. I made this recently and I used a metal pot. I also stirred it too quick and it boiled over. I also wish I had known I didn't need the soil, it makes it more complicated to put up with the settling and straining process. However, I got it done. My friend used it on his athrancnose on the peppers and it knocked it right out.
I am a plant tissue culturist , I clean my plants constantly with sulphur to keep disease and viroids from spreading and to get my plants prepared for cleaning and the sterile tissue culture(protocol)
I simply use wet-able sulphur mixed with water and sprayed on the plant. Do not over donit or it will burn your plant up. Also use as a root treatment along with h2o2
Amazing simple to understand content, just a few corrections: 1) Soft water is not necessary for jadam sulfur ....but only for the wetting agent.... 2) Leaving overnight is only needed when adding the extra optional items (phyllite etc) but in your version it can be used straight away) 3) Application is best done with 2 days on and 1 day off schedule, rather than 5 days straight Official Jadam References: 1) ruclips.net/video/IcyFf-zvkqc/видео.html (Shorter Version making 10 Litres, without the optional items) 2) ruclips.net/video/EIzqWCflHo0/видео.html (Long Version making 100 Litres of JS Including the optional items - phyllite,clay, sea salt) Keep the videos coming please! learning a lot from you, very actionable videos that inspire me to just start rather than get confused by all the info out here on youtube. Peace.
thanks for sharing- watching your videos over and will be using to teach my kids and i hope to even help some poor neighbors with small land- let them be able to farm a bit and feed family while you did not " invent " anything - you have spent time learning and re sharing. besides learning- teaching my kids i do hope to translate and share here in the Philippines, while some do know of this, not enough people know- those that need it the most here do not have computers etc. so to you sir" will go the credit for clearly explaining this and sharing experience and giving me needed motivation
One thing that I've heard in these videos with proper soil and such is that the plants themselves, if healthy, wont be attacked by pests, and only dying/not properly thriving plants will get diseases and pests. I believe you mentioned that the plants actually signal pests to come kill it, as a way of allowing the healthier plants more of a survival. IS there actually a need for this if our plants are healthy and thriving/ I would think this should only be used if there are problems, maybe a new garden and other situations where the soil "Foodweb" isn't properly maintained? Thank you for all of your help as always!!
Think of a plant like an animal, they want to replicate and spread seed just like them. But they can’t do it themselves so they create colorful berries and fruits to attract insects and animals. In return for food the animals spread the seed. You must have a preventative spraying schedule to keep bugs out of your garden especially the bad ones. If you don’t spray anything it’s best to companion plant and have a sacrificial plant. But you won’t get a good harvest of you don’t preventativly spray neem oil or JHS.
absolutely this is true and thats why I say in the video we only use this if necessary and for a few days at a time.... if the plants are completely healthy and everything looks fine there's no need to use this... but even in the best conditions sometimes plants become ill its just the nature of gardening these plants
Seen (11 years ago) a video made in Japan when I was getting into making my own alkaline water. The guy put the the waste side water on his plants and they thrived. Totally prevented mold/blight/fungas on plants regularly afflicted with it. The water had a lower Ph. Viking what do you know about this?
Question!? I just recently made a 10L batch of JADAM Sulfur & was wondering if it was suppose to have a strong boiled egg smell? Or did I do something wrong!?!? Also thank you for all the informative gardening info, just recently stumbled on to your channel & it has helped me a ton. Love it 👍🏾

(for sure one more fan...) one more thing im a missinformated about ur schedule on Q&A lives. could u tel me something about ir?' MAN SINCERELY THANK U !!!
thank you for the positive energy and feedback my friend!!!... I will be making a wetting agent video in the near future and I'll make it as simple as possible!
Thank you so much for this video! I had asked you a question a couple weeks back about making JS (in a paypal donation - not sure how prominent their messages are, or if you ever saw it). A moderator over on the JADAM channel recommended that I use JS for my dealings with cucumber beetles that were spreading mosaic virus to all of my squash pants… It’s been a devastating problem this year - that is thankfully isolated to just the cucumbers and squash! I was going by the JADAM book and was a little confused about making JS . (I wasn’t quite sure how hot this would get or about the sort of heat proof container to use in America.) This is so very helpful to see your process. Have you ever had issues with mosaic virus? I have been using JMS to increase soil diversity, I am hopeful that it will help remediate the soil after the contaminated plants are removed. Thanks again - I love your channel, friend. I would love to see your castile soap recipe too. Keep up the great work !
yes I remember this question but the thing with PayPal is I don't get a chance to respond to the question on that platform lol... thank you by the way!.. Arizona right?... I have a test plot a few miles away and we have a terrible outbreak of the mosaic and cucumber beetles and squash bugs just totally annihilating everything!!... so I'm running lots of experiments trying to find what works best... I do know and recommend lots of JMS with the JS and JWA combined with a strong JLF is the way to go for soil remediation and it has cured so many things over the years and I believe it will work for this as well... I'll let you know what works best...
@@gardenlikeaviking Yes! I’m in the Arizona high desert. I felt like this video was the reply to my question! Lol! Much appreciated! Now I’ve got squash borers too! It’s like a full on ambush on my squash this year. Every plant dies right when it reaches the fruiting stage - either from mosaic or from a weak vine. So far I have had some luck with acorn and butternut which I read were more resilient to the beetles…. But I mostly gave up on squash and i am instead focusing on what is growing well. Lots of beans, many varieties, my tomato vies are amazing. I will try all of your suggestions. I’m going to get on the JS - ASAP, Would love an update on your battles with mosaic if you remember. Thanks again! :)
I had made myself accordingly to your tutorial....I found that I don't need to add more of wetting agent,I felt the stickiness is enough for the three ingredient mixtures.tq anyway .🙏✌️💪😊
A'ight. I got my ingredients and I'm going to make it tomorrow morning. I have my protective gear and will be sure not to splash it on my skin... and especially not splash it on my WHATEVER, LOL. I'll let you know how events transpire. Blessings.

You can keep vinegar nearby, if you splash any solution on you, douse that area in vinegar. It will neutralize the hydroxide base.

The ancient coral sand rips open their shell and cuts them up. I also add this into the corner of my windows to block the ants. Works on cockroaches, too.
Just sharing my experience.
In the meantime, I've just made a 55g drum of fish fertiliser because I'm going through my quick fish fertiliser so quickly. And I've got plant waste brewing. And the biochar. And the ingredients for the wetting agent soap arrived yesterday. I'm stepping out of retirement for a few weeks and will send you a thankyou when I can - I've passed on your site to several keen gardeners AND my favourite rare herb online shop . Thankyou for sharing your experience and knowledge. You've changed my life! You're awesome!
Wow! I lost most of my summer squash plants to powdery mildew and now I know what to do next time. Thank you for all you do!
Powdery mildew can be killed off with a milk and water combo (50/50 I think?), which you then just spray on for a few days.
I had to use this once because my strawberries had it, after they got rained on in summer.
It fixed it right up!
Spray them with 10% milk water to eliminate pm
Please, please make a video on how to make JADAM Wetting Agent. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for all your videos. I bought the Jadam book but your videos are easier to understand. Please make a video of JWA and a video of how to mix JWA, JS and JHS.
You blow my mind each time you come out with a video. How did you come across your vast knowledge. You're like the Asian doctor of plant health. ❤
Thanks again I am learning so much from your channel, I already see improvements on plants from using the JMS solution
Thank you so much, before watching I was too intimidated to make JS. Now it's seems doable!
You can do it!
You are one of the best natural farming teachers out here. Thank you!!!
Made my first batch of Jadam sulfur yesterday, working with ~5 lbs of sulfur. Allowed it to cool overnite and packaged this morning.
I'm storing the solution in repurposed HDPE containers (cleaned Clorox and laundry detergent containers). I'll not use glass containers out of concern for breakage - the solution is pH ~12, and it would be an awful mess to deal with if spilled in the house. Also would not use thin-walled plastics (e.g. gallon milk jugs), and will store them on the bottom-most shelves with secondary containment.
Thanks for the video!
for sure my friend if this were to burst inside the house you'd have to sell the house lol.... the smell of rotten eggs never comes out!!
I would really love to see your recipe for Castile soap,preferably from wood ash boiled down. Thanks in advance,love your advice.
Thanks for make easier the JADAM sulfur
It’s helpful to see this made on a smaller scale. I have a couple JADAM books but have not tried any of the solutions yet!
Are you calling his amounts "Smaller" or you're hoping to downsize that? Easily done.
;¬)
yes I found a need in the JADAM community for a good concise explanation of how to do it in the home garden and for a western audience so thats why I am making these... thank you and I say go for it!!
@@briankane6547 His amounts are smaller and manageable. A 5 gallon pail is definitely easier to wrap your head around then a 50 gallon drum lol
I tried three times..its.harder than u think..i blame the out side temps...tho to be truthful it may of worked as i have zero confidence.
My grandpa dusted his seed potatoes with sulfur..or so i think so..im pushing 80 and well memories are always sus.
plastic containers work equally as well to store this solution
Awesome, thank you for all your videos!!
Oh...and here's the recipe, cos no one seems to have done it yet.
Natural Fungicide
2.5kg sulfur (pure)
2kg sodium hydroxide
250g Himalayan salt (even though he keeps saying sea salt)
5L water (initial)
3.2L (final)
10ml = 2tsp JADAM sulfur
90ml = 3oz Castile soap (wetting agent)
Per gallon of water.
Apply only at night.
Re-apply for 3-5 nights in a row, until the situation has been treated.
Can I half this to make smaller amount
Tks! ❤
@@wilmaboodoo119 If you keep the ratio, i don't see why not!
Very good video.
Can We make small qty ?
Í understood that if We see problem We spray this solution continously 3to 5 days. Ís it correct?
Can We use this solution fór aphids, Mites & white flies?
I want to start by thanking you for making great videos. It's so inspiring to learn ways to produce quality food while benefiting the soil. I watched my first Garden Like a Viking video about a month ago, and have already made and applied L.A.B.S, and the natural pesticide. Last night I started the JADAM wetting agent, and Saturday I am making the fungicide as well as the water soluble calcium. I have to wait for the weather to warm up before I can make the fish hydrolysate and the JLF.
Could you make a series using all your awesome knowledge specifically aiming towards Cannabis?
I am so glad I found your channel. You are awesome!!!!!
I certainly could do that yes!... I'll have to see if there's enough interest in that first
@@gardenlikeaviking everything I have heard from you so far can be applied. But I am sure there are some tricks and tips that have not come to light specifically for cannabis.
Keep making videos I am telling others about your channel whenever an opportunity presents itself.
@@gardenlikeaviking think you would be surprised on the interest. The cannabis industry is by far the highest hit by the “ag” industry. I’ve seen people drop over a grand in nutrients and microbes for a small basement garden per run. It’s brutal. There’s a channel called mr grow it and he did a pod cast about jadam and cannabis but there’s no instructions or anything. I’m in the industry and sent 10 growers to your channel in just the last week. You’re the man Nate
@@patrickgagne8795 I feel you brother!!.. I spent many years growing in southern Humboldt... indoor, light dep and full term I did it all... this is where I learned many of these skills and found my passion for growing... its also where I learned of the extortionate almost criminal profits being made by the fertilizer companies for things that do not need to cost much at all... it forced me to learn to make everything I possibly can myself!!... thanks for the support my friend!
Hello Nate, the Viking !
Thank you for another awesome video.
I always share your video's with family and friends.
Have learnt so much, I love the way you explain and demonstrate the process in all of your video's.
You the "Best"
thank you for the positive energy Pam!!
"make sure you're wearing protective equipment" He says as he stands there in shorts, bare feet and no shirt... My kinda people.
Jokes aside, anyone not familiar with Sodium Hydroxide, getting the smallest amount in your eye will change your life in all the wrong ways. Even just the dust from pouring it, don't screw around.
lol... you're absolutely correct and after doing this so many times over the years I know what I can personally get away with but never ever take even a slight chance on the eyes!!! always protect them!
Excellent video Nate! I loved how you said about your neighbors, they must wonder what the heck you are up to at times.
lol for sure they already thing me strange because my yard is the only one filled to the brim with flowers and vegetables with bees buzzing all over the place while theirs is just clean cut green grass and nothing else!
Thank you! That was so much easier to understand! Love to see the wetting agent too!
Am a farmer in Jamaica 🇯🇲 am definitely going to try this
Thank you. I have the Jadam books but its a little overwhelming to scale it down to a home use.
@Erin S On page 296 of the JADAM book there’s a chart detailing six volumes of JS, starting with five litres. The math to scale to any volume is very basic.
Thanks big for Jadam Sulphur. Plz make vid of wetting agent as well.
Very good information worth watching the video 👌👌
Jadam wetting agent video need that brother
There's another one method using calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) instead of sodium hydroxide. When using calcium hydroxide you'll need to heat the mixture because it won't heat by itself. The method you shared with us is better because without the need of extra heating source you save lots of energy!
Do you have the name or a link for the recipe using slaked lime please? 🙂 Or a search term I could use?
@@ThePinkBinks I use this recipe: ruclips.net/video/2mCAmEiEolg/видео.html
The best gardening channel, greetings from Indonesia!
Thank you for this great info. I will be applying all of it for the fall season crops. Self reliance is so important now
It is indeed!
If you ever have powdery mildew on something, and you haven't made this stuff up yet, use a combo of milk and water (50:50 will probably do, I can't remember exactly).
I had this issue on my strawberries once, and this fixed it right up.
You have to spray it on for a few days straight though, but it absolutely works!
Really important for fruiting crops too, because you don't want to be spraying them with anything toxic if you're going to be eating it later.
I try so hard to avoid toxic poisons.
Brotherman....the "eye protection on..." sans shirt is priceless!! Jokes aside, I really enjoy your work, and am learning so much from you. Mad Respect, One Love
Thank you so much for this. I had the JADAM books and found your channel after. It’s very helpful to know how to break it down for the home gardener
Last 3 weeks ago i did this myself following step by step accordingly to what I've whatch from demo video...
cant wait to try this!!!! ive been swapping between peroxide/water mix and ph 8.5 water ( baking soda) although the best defence is always a healthy plant... this seems more that direction :)
This is great. I live in the redwoods, so mildew relief is...a relief.
please make the wetting agent video
Great stuff(Out of Africa!)
Nate, I love your vids my bro! I live in Georgia and we have to deal with chiggers in the summer; they can cause you a lot of sleepless nights scratching. I use sulfur in an old sock to dust my lower legs, shoes and socks to keep them, and ticks off if I'm working in grass or going in the woods. I think this is the solution to the damping off I get with my turnips and mustard greens. I'm going to make this and pre-treat the soil before sowing the seeds. Skal!
Thank you. Making a commitment to Jadam this year. Your videos are very helpful.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I first discovered your channel while researching JADAM and I think you explain it very well. I would imagine that if you did a JWA it would be well worth watching as well.
Thank you Austin and yes I felt the JADAM community was lacking a good concise set of instructions for the home garden western audience so I set out to clarify it!
Making it now!! Need for my roses 🌹
Thank you for this much needed info. Much love.
I like the style of this guy. Focused to results. Good channel. I lost rose trees with mold that i created on wet grounded coffee. We learn from mistakes too :-)
You are the man!
Awesome, you my favorite gardening channel. Greetings from Germany
I wish I had known that about the food grade bucket. I made this recently and I used a metal pot. I also stirred it too quick and it boiled over.
I also wish I had known I didn't need the soil, it makes it more complicated to put up with the settling and straining process.
However, I got it done. My friend used it on his athrancnose on the peppers and it knocked it right out.
I also used a metal pot. Do you think it made a difference.
@@michaelmckee2200 yes I do. At least in my case I think it caused it to react
@@shanemillard608 did you use aluminum or steel
I believe it was stainless.
Hello from Germany...
Ferry interesting video!
Thank you very much.
Your knowledge is so grateful 🙏🏻
I am a plant tissue culturist , I clean my plants constantly with sulphur to keep disease and viroids from spreading and to get my plants prepared for cleaning and the sterile tissue culture(protocol)
What kind of sulfur solution is it?
I simply use wet-able sulphur mixed with water and sprayed on the plant. Do not over donit or it will burn your plant up. Also use as a root treatment along with h2o2
Please show how to make the wetting agent.
I keep on replaying your video on its process...to keep up correctly and effectively.. I ll make myslf til i got all the ingredients available,tqvm
Amazing simple to understand content, just a few corrections:
1) Soft water is not necessary for jadam sulfur ....but only for the wetting agent....
2) Leaving overnight is only needed when adding the extra optional items (phyllite etc) but in your version it can be used straight away)
3) Application is best done with 2 days on and 1 day off schedule, rather than 5 days straight
Official Jadam References:
1) ruclips.net/video/IcyFf-zvkqc/видео.html
(Shorter Version making 10 Litres, without the optional items)
2) ruclips.net/video/EIzqWCflHo0/видео.html
(Long Version making 100 Litres of JS Including the optional items - phyllite,clay, sea salt)
Keep the videos coming please! learning a lot from you, very actionable videos that inspire me to just start rather than get confused by all the info out here on youtube.
Peace.
Hell yeah man closing paragraph is spot-on and your entire comment is well said and informative. Thank you for sharing.

thanks for sharing- watching your videos over and will be using to teach my kids and i hope to even help some poor neighbors with small land- let them be able to farm a bit and feed family
while you did not " invent " anything - you have spent time learning and re sharing. besides learning- teaching my kids i do hope to translate and share here in the Philippines, while some do know of this, not enough people know- those that need it the most here do not have computers etc. so to you sir" will go the credit for clearly explaining this and sharing experience and giving me needed motivation
I am very happy you are able to pass this knowledge to people that is a very important task my friend!
@@gardenlikeaviking it is a goal- i still have a long ways to go- tight budget all moves slow here
Thank you very much for the information.
Oh, as mildew happens to my garden - it’s do time for me to finally make JS :) thank you for a tutorial!
One thing that I've heard in these videos with proper soil and such is that the plants themselves, if healthy, wont be attacked by pests, and only dying/not properly thriving plants will get diseases and pests. I believe you mentioned that the plants actually signal pests to come kill it, as a way of allowing the healthier plants more of a survival.
IS there actually a need for this if our plants are healthy and thriving/ I would think this should only be used if there are problems, maybe a new garden and other situations where the soil "Foodweb" isn't properly maintained?
Thank you for all of your help as always!!
Ive heard that too, but my Cosmos were looking pretty healthy til the Jspanese beetles stopped by
Think of a plant like an animal, they want to replicate and spread seed just like them. But they can’t do it themselves so they create colorful berries and fruits to attract insects and animals. In return for food the animals spread the seed. You must have a preventative spraying schedule to keep bugs out of your garden especially the bad ones. If you don’t spray anything it’s best to companion plant and have a sacrificial plant. But you won’t get a good harvest of you don’t preventativly spray neem oil or JHS.
absolutely this is true and thats why I say in the video we only use this if necessary and for a few days at a time.... if the plants are completely healthy and everything looks fine there's no need to use this... but even in the best conditions sometimes plants become ill its just the nature of gardening these plants
Thanks again for sharing your know how
Would love to learn how to make the wetting agent 🤩
hi, thank you for this video, when is the other one coming do you think?
the wetting agent will be in a couple weeks thank you
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you 💖
Seen (11 years ago) a video made in Japan when I was getting into making my own alkaline water. The guy put the the waste side water on his plants and they thrived. Totally prevented mold/blight/fungas on plants regularly afflicted with it. The water had a lower Ph. Viking what do you know about this?
Thank you for helping the gardener can you please make videos for roots powder please
can you explain what is roots powder?
Make Wetting Agent ,Pls
wow, thank you, I started late spring learning your jadam stuff. I still got tomato's, in sept. may last till frost. thank you
Question!? I just recently made a 10L batch of JADAM Sulfur & was wondering if it was suppose to have a strong boiled egg smell? Or did I do something wrong!?!? Also thank you for all the informative gardening info, just recently stumbled on to your channel & it has helped me a ton. Love it 👍🏾
yes the smell of this solution is very off putting like rotten eggs or some kind of sewage... that is perfectly normal...
I think Sulphur never smells pleasant, just think of garlic and onion!
@@JoseSantos-zj3llIt actually smells worse. Sulphur smells rotten. 😂
Thank you soooo much....Martin young farmer from DRC
hi!!, im new here, amaized by ur simple explanation... (sorry for my english, im from spain... ;))) just let me say thank u. U get simple many hours of watchin many others canals with 25 min video to make thigs more confuse, thank u again for ur job an eforts... aaannddd ;)) yes, i failed with the wettin agent... so man.. u will make me a favor if you teach me how to do it properly... (for sure one more fan...) one more thing im a missinformated about ur schedule on Q&A lives. could u tel me something about ir?' MAN SINCERELY THANK U !!!
Hey bro I think his lives are at 12pm mid day saturday EST (eastern standard time USA)
@@hardtobelieve4753 thank u Sir... ;))
thank you for the positive energy and feedback my friend!!!... I will be making a wetting agent video in the near future and I'll make it as simple as possible!
Link of it. Much appreciate. Have a blessing days
Thank you so much for this video! I had asked you a question a couple weeks back about making JS (in a paypal donation - not sure how prominent their messages are, or if you ever saw it). A moderator over on the JADAM channel recommended that I use JS for my dealings with cucumber beetles that were spreading mosaic virus to all of my squash pants… It’s been a devastating problem this year - that is thankfully isolated to just the cucumbers and squash! I was going by the JADAM book and was a little confused about making JS . (I wasn’t quite sure how hot this would get or about the sort of heat proof container to use in America.) This is so very helpful to see your process. Have you ever had issues with mosaic virus? I have been using JMS to increase soil diversity, I am hopeful that it will help remediate the soil after the contaminated plants are removed. Thanks again - I love your channel, friend. I would love to see your castile soap recipe too. Keep up the great work !
yes I remember this question but the thing with PayPal is I don't get a chance to respond to the question on that platform lol... thank you by the way!.. Arizona right?... I have a test plot a few miles away and we have a terrible outbreak of the mosaic and cucumber beetles and squash bugs just totally annihilating everything!!... so I'm running lots of experiments trying to find what works best... I do know and recommend lots of JMS with the JS and JWA combined with a strong JLF is the way to go for soil remediation and it has cured so many things over the years and I believe it will work for this as well... I'll let you know what works best...
@@gardenlikeaviking Yes! I’m in the Arizona high desert. I felt like this video was the reply to my question! Lol! Much appreciated!
Now I’ve got squash borers too! It’s like a full on ambush on my squash this year. Every plant dies right when it reaches the fruiting stage - either from mosaic or from a weak vine. So far I have had some luck with acorn and butternut which I read were more resilient to the beetles…. But I mostly gave up on squash and i am instead focusing on what is growing well. Lots of beans, many varieties, my tomato vies are amazing. I will try all of your suggestions. I’m going to get on the JS - ASAP, Would love an update on your battles with mosaic if you remember. Thanks again! :)
I had made myself accordingly to your tutorial....I found that I don't need to add more of wetting agent,I felt the stickiness is enough for the three ingredient mixtures.tq anyway .🙏✌️💪😊
Most amazing channel for teaching JADAM! I'm studying from the book and these videos are soo soo helpful and extremely informative! Thank you!
Yes, leave a recipe for wetting agents. Thank you...
Like the PPE - you're basically naked working with caustic liquids. Marvellous
A'ight. I got my ingredients and I'm going to make it tomorrow morning. I have my protective gear and will be sure not to splash it on my skin... and especially not splash it on my WHATEVER, LOL. I'll let you know how events transpire. Blessings.
I have tried it and it melts good.
You are the man🫡💯👍🏿🙏🏿
Yes! Please 🙏🏿 make the video of the JWA 🫡🙏🏿
I am so grateful that I have the time to binge watch, take notes and implement your teachings thank you!
Thanks a lot for the nice work you did. I need the book of jadam. Is it possible to send it. Best regards
I made jadam sulfer and jadam wetting agent too. I used it all season and can say that worked well!
From Gardening with kirk I love your stuff very inspiring
Love the protective gear. Cargo shorts😂😂😂, no gloves and barefoot. Love your videos on jadam. I bought the book about 6 months ago.
From the Caribbean says thanks for your help
Ty and yes pls make the wetting agent video
I’ve gotta make this..
I already have all the ingredients…
When I do I’ll tag your name for credit…
I’ve tagged your name in some already…
This is my first time gardening I have no issues so far but I want to be prepared just in case …
Make sure you wear your protective gear….while going bare. Oh well. Great tip. Will make next year. Great channel.
Thank you for teaching us things we do not know anything about thank you so very much
