    Today I present the final verdict on our test of mimosa leaves as a fertilizer.
    You'll find my books here: amzn.to/3SO7AQi
    And more notes on the experiment here: www.thesurvivalgardener.com/nitrogen-fixer-fail-adding-mimosa-leaves-decreased-plant-growth/
    Thank you for watching.

    I've gardened in zones 5-7 and found the easiest way to fix nitro in the ground is with a winter kill covercrop planted in the fall, heavy on beans & peas with oats (to give the other two something to climb.) In most climates it will winter kill reliably before blossom. If you're in the South, just mow it down or weed wack it & cover. The nitro nodules are in place in the ground for next planting. Additional roots will break up clay & provide sandy soil with organic matter. The above ground veg mats coutesy of the oasts provides an in place mulch to plant into. Peaceful Valley makes a reliable, affordable winter kill covercrop for most areas. You can mix your own similar blend.
    I have only had to mow terminate a few times when the fall was too warm or a good hardy cold snap ran late.
    It works. No muss, no fuss. No trial or guess work.
    It also solves some crop rotation issues.

    Epic garden dude and his buddy Jacques did a similar experiment with various things and looked at results and high nitrogen but complex items performed worse than low nitrogen simple things. I love these experiments. We can do all the math and biological hypothesis we want, but doing a test works best. Thank you for sharing your valuable time to make this video for us. I know they are hard because I tried to make videos and failed hard.

      I still want to see the long term experiment too.
      Obviously, the mimosa leaves aren't any good for annual plants, in the first season of decomposing the leaves anyway.
      Yes, I said mimosa.
      Deal with it.

    I love this channel! This is wonderful science.
    I have been trying your experiments here. I have dug Terra Preta, made compost teas, dug deep holes and chucked garbage and logs into it, and now I am doing a form of grocery row gardening.
    Most of my gardens have been failures but every so often a concept will work. I do not regret the failures because I have learned so much.
    Gardening in the future will be so much harder than it is today. Go learn something.

    Nerdy videos are the best videos! Not really a fail, because everyone got to learn something useful! You asked me to email you about my biochar (different charges) experiments, unfortunately I'll have to start again pretty much from scratch, I'm on a brownfield site, my raised beds are 2ft deep as there's not really any soil, so I filled them with 1ft deep logs, topped with composted woodchip (screened to 10mm) and barely 6" of topsoil with 2" of good compost on top, after only 2 seasons the tops of the logs are poking thru 2" so I'm having to import 20 tons of topsoil to fill them up and start again. Lesson is composted woodchip grows great crops, until it completely disapears much faster than you expect, good thing is I'll have some excellent beds to restart experiments on, and keep better data this time :)

    Think it is allelopathy against certain species that you are seeing. Thank you for this. This will cement the lesson into people's memories.
    Further experimentation may be warranted. Seedlings/annuals can be more susceptible to the suppressing compounds than larger perennials, trees, etc.

I had a similar outcome with chinese cabbage where I had used store bought cow manue/compost but was definitely not ready. The plant confirmed it and the weeds that came up after taught me it was good stuff but I was off in the timing. It's really interesting how some plant thrive in decomposing matter much better than others.

While this process to try to get those nutrients didn't work, there's got to be a process that does work. I also have mimosa trees and will try to keep the experiment going. Tea, Compost, etc.

The concoction developed a nice frothy foam after a few hours. I left it to marinate a few days to develop that essence of swamp water . My flower beds (aka grocery rows) are planted with mixed greens as a ground cover and they love this stuff. Ive used organic alfalfa pellets but was out of it. More nerd experiments please.

    @TheShFil Год назад

    I heard that sometimes the composting process (like one caused by chop and drop) can steal nitrogen and release more later, which can become a problem if soil is not rich in nitrogen (as bacteria and fungi are favoring composting process over feeding plants).
    Maybe anaerobic like bucket with rainwater and leaves can be easier to use.
    On my side had terrible year with tomato due to rain. Currently trying to look for more resistant variety.

    I could be ignorant to this but why would a nitrogen fixers leaves be different than any other tree/plant? The nitrogen fixing bacteria are all underground, right?

    Lol we are nerds indeed. You saved me from thinking I could use those leaves as emergency food source. Counter productive if it has abundant anti nutrients. I have seen case studies that albizia SEEDS are 25% oil, may be viable for human consumption

      In those case studies, the oil was analyzed for toxicities(none)

    Is it really a failure or a lesson learned?

      The leaves failed to fertilize, but I consider the experiment a success since we learned something.

    What if you soaked the mimosa in water to make tea instead of applying the actual plant? All those darn seeds drive me mad anyway.

    keep seeds from the plants that did well with the mimosa and breed allelopathic resistance

    Still think a Good child is pranking you on this one! 😂
    2024 might be an awesome year for a larger scale test of this using Moringa. My chickens and I enjoy the leaves. And I think your chop & drop was successful with it before. As quickly as it grows I'd like to see you try it there as the foliar fertilizer. Be cool to see it tried in VA too. 😊❤🙏

    I dislike the *all success* videos because it means the OP censored out the fails. A particular group of friends & I are gardening experiment nerds as well. We share our successes & fails with each other, as well as checking out each others gardens and offering information we've learned along the way. We all learn valuable information.

    I discovered your channel yesterday, I love how you deal with with people nagging in the comments😂. And I love how you deal with garden related questions. This one on mimosa as garden fertilizer, didn’t expect the outcome. I wonder if you’ve already done the same experiment with moringa 🤔

    Welllll...maybe something else will love it someday, maybe nematodes will hate it. I love to use the compost water and chicken water ...miracle grow is my favorite. It works awesome with my compost, pisses me off.

    Nice. Yeah, maybe too much anti-microbial/allelopathic/whatever opposition. For a time at least, like you said. It doesn’t sound like you put too much on though in my opinion but I really don’t know. Maybe it’s just really powerful. Side note: I wonder if the negative opposition/antimicrobial could oppose negative things in the soil: diseases, microbe imbalances, I guess. Maybe good for nuking a bad microbial community. Maybe good for nuking your own microbial community. Maybe it’s good for resetting the microbial community, say, after a crop, or after “bad”/poor soil. looked it up: supposedly, it’s called the tree of happiness and “eases irritability, insomnia, reduce inflammation in sinuses, aid regulation of digestion.”Mood (irritability) is largely tied to your microbiome, they say. Anywho, probably good for gardening in some way or just really good for humans. Or whatever.

      Just saw your article: “In addition, the Persian silk tree (Albizia julibrissin) leaf residues can be used to control the irregular growth of Tree of heaven seed as an invasive species, as well as weed management in agroforestry systems which require further studies.” Nice

    I am sorry that you got upset by online big mouths. Seems to be a Season span of a few years of them.
    When i watch you? I presume you know by experience. I am 64 years old. Most of my experience is gathered from experiments. That is the wise thing to do, since we all have variations to our Location. I have not figured out how to grow anything here! Lol But i havent wasted 10k trying! I now have such a crippled leg, gardening "has to be!" Extremely simple. I cant even carry buckets of dirt or water. So. I have stopped experimenting.
