By far, THE BEST, gardening information available on the planet. I have purchased many books, magazines and much more. However, Nate's detailed informative style with a sincere desire to help others like me to rediscover (or discover) the power of microorganisms and transform my garden in the first season is incredible! The power and simplicity of Jadam with just JMS and JWA has made my love for gardening flourish now that my raised beds are producing more than I could have imagined. It started with Nate's suggestion to use JMS as a soil drench every week for a month prior to planting anything. If you have not tried this, give it a try! It is an easy way to set up any gardener for success. Thank you Nate!
This sounds good, I am going to try it this spring. How much better were yields?
I was so overwhelmed when watching a Jadam video but when watching you and understanding the “why” and your how to and comparison buckets I am less overwhelmed, thank you so much I can’t wait to get started
thats right my friend its actually so simple and you can't go wrong if you just follow these steps!
Unquestionably, your videos are *the* best in this category.
The content is first class and also unique: no one else gives similar information and contains similar knowledge.
All the information you disclose is relevant, well sequenced and clearly explained.
Also, your style is right on target: you don't indulge in "look at me now" narcissism; and avoid both cult of personality and smugness.
You were made for this medium and this medium was made for you.
I only wish I had the time to follow and implement ALL your instructions.
Thank you.
my friend this is extremely helpful feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to say all this... also thank you for the positive energy!!!
@@gardenlikeaviking "Positive energy": I am on your same wavelength. One more thing: I like the fact that your advice can be applied both on a small and a large scale. The method and approach, and even the techniques don't change. Bravo.
These videos are so watchable and such fantastic expert insight! I am so grateful! 😊🎉❤
As always amazing!
You are so awesome. Unique and like no other which is a good thing. Unorthodox which is a good thing. Easy to understand and easy to follow. I have found my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. My Viking brother. God Bless you always. Thank you.
This sounds like something that could be beneficial for a septic system.
Awesome!! Unbelievable how some evidently use raw potatoes, some just squish cooked ones in their hands etc. I finally tried your method tonite and got it set into a55 gallon drum. I assume I use this solution, diluted , all, then each week make a new brew. A great way to use up the leftover stored potatoes in the basement, and building life in the soil where they came from!!!
Whoops, forgot sea salt, can I still add it next day?
Thankyou Viking Van Gogh!
I'm pretty sure some of my relatives climbed out of this primal sludge.
Your speech in English is very clear and easy to understand for me as an Indonesian, thank you
There are commercial variants of this. I use one made from straw. The bacteria there fight pathogenic fungi and help save plants from things like damping off. I heard you can make a similar one from yoghurt.
Will definatly give this a try am just getting into organic gardening i am all seeing results b by making the tea from garden waste and such including chickdn and sheep poo . I was surprised after 4 weeks how much the matter broke down and the smell plus i dilute when apply to the garden . love learning
Liquid life force. 👍🏻💪🏽🌱
Loving your channel! Thank you.
If you accidentally overcook this stuff to where the microbes die, what is best use for the consu.ed solution? Also, what to do with the teabag mixture? Thank you!
Compost/fertilizer for both questions.
I didn’t have whole potatoes so I used a box of instant potatoes
& I didn’t have salt but I did have some sugar so Iused that
I couldn’t find leaf mold but I did find some black mold in my basement so I used that
Thank you so much for the practical way of making the best, natural, moneyless approach.you’re an inspiration 👏
Learning tons from your videos! Do you make JMS every week to use in your garden? Is there a way for you to preserve it for longer periods so you don't have to repeat the process every time?
Schowalter Spring
Thanks!
thank you for the support my friend!!
Congrats on having 100k subscribers!
Always great content. Thank you.
Great video, question. if you don't use all, how do you store the rest. Thanks and all the best to you.!!
You can't store it, the microbes need food to survive, that's why you use it at it's peak (largest bubbles). When you need more, make a new batch.
@@jeffmeyers3837 Thank you
So you use it once, and then have to get rid of what's leftover? Can I use it in my compost bin?
Yes you can, it will help break it down
This is a anaerobic preparation and what good it can be if sprayed as after spraying it will get aerobic and the anaerobic microbescwill get defunct.
It's more complicated than that. Many microbes are both aerobic and anaerobic. Also ask yourself what happened to all the anaerobic microbes? Did they evaporate from the bucket? Nope, they're in there and will come out of dormancy when conditions are right.
Thank you Nate perfect 🙏🇨🇦
This was the first year I used JMS over and over and over again. It was SO much work to water by hand, ( I am still using it) but MY GOODNESS...the soil is teeming with earthworms! Do you know why? What in the JMS do the earthworms love?
Thank you for this!
can i use this in aquaponics, everything looks safe...
I love your videos man. Inspired me to get into Jadam.
I was wondering if there is a minimum amount of water required to get consistent results for jms.
I only need about 1 liter but make 2/3 liters. I don't always get good foam.
actually I would stick with making it in the 5gal bucket and using the right proportions... then you can use the rest to simply apply to the land wherever you have no plants yet but will in the future... full strength .... its a great soil conditioner!
Thanks for that tip :).
Makes sense to me.
Will this work in my house plants?
Thanks!
I want to use the JADAM method for wildlife food plots for hunting purposes. Any recommendations on what to use on an acre of land? I have 3 50 gallon drums brewing tea with turnip/radish mix right now.
Could you add this to a drip system administered slowly, daily to a container garden? Thanks?
absolutely!... thats actually the best option but you don't even need it daily... make it once a week or every two weeks and administer it within a few hour period so it doesn't begin to die off
Would that help jumpstart a new compost pile?
yes absolutely!... use full strength
You could add more potatoes to feed the microbiology
unfortunately it doesn't work that way with this even though it seems like it should.... there's a lot more than just the food source being depleted its also maximum capacity for waste products created by the IMO's and O2 depletion and acidification happens if we try to add more potatoes
How do you get pressure from jms to able to use garden sprayer?
I'm curious if you've used this on houseplants. As I grow more and more "finicky" plants, I'm learning that it's the soil health that is most important for success. If you have healthy soil, the care is easy. But a container is a closed (and often small) environment, so do I need to to adjust the strength? Dilute it more? Apply at a different frequency?
check out this video for a thorough explanation of what to do ruclips.net/video/epQjcnuVhYw/видео.html
I just use blue miracle grow to get my plants growing faster in the beginning, then apply 10-10-10, chicken manure fertilizer from Menards, and gypsum. After the tomatoes start growing I then use cardboard not the shiny stuff covering all exposed soil , and then apply last fall’s leaves from neighbors on the cardboard. This keeps the soil more evenly moist so the tomatoes don’t go from feast to famine. During the growing season I switch to the Alaska fetishized emulsion for feedings.
The fall leaves prevent the tomatoes from that yellow leaf fungus because I get no splash up from the soil onto the plants from rain or watering. Plant the tomatoes deep so you don’t have to water as much.
I’m going to try your DYI fertilizer in the big barrel with grass or weeds because that’s so logical. I’m excited to try that. I’ve done organic gardening only previously for 20 years. My mother gave me a box of miracle gro and I was impressed especially getting the plants off to a faster start in the beginning. Then I got 10-10-10 and experienced very good results. The summers are short here in Minnesota so the faster they take off is very important. Oh I forgot I use wood ash in everything that grows in my yard that to helps. I enjoy your videos.
That is great. Miracle Grow has had such a bad rap lately. I try to be organic but there are times when a quick fix is just that and it works.
thank you!!
can we use sea water straight away instead of using sea salt?
i am living near the beach so its much easier for me to use it like that
if its wrong please let me know
Hey there Nate! I've been watching up all your videos! I love your content, please keep up all your hard work. It is a blessing to us all!! Here's my question: Have you heard of using JADAM for bioremediation? I have a couple sites on my homestead where people just dumped stuff, or burned and melted Lord only knows what, or redid their subfloor and just tossed the plywood out the back door... 🤨 Anyway, I'm looking to clean up the soil and wondered if you thought this would be helpful in removing all those lovely toxins? (BTW, that mound of plywood is half rotten.. thinking of mounding dirt and planting non edibles for mulch?) Any of your vast wisdom or knowledge would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and God Bless!
There is a guy doing electro culture who uses DC power pulses with sun flowers and it pulls all the lead toxins from out of the ground . Now electro culture can be natural as well harness the earth’s magnetic field or you use DC current which China is doing getting 200% better growth and 75% less fertiliser.
I can't remember any specific plants but there are plants that work exceptionally well at pulling toxins out of the soil. Maybe do a covercrop mix of these plants and mix in the jms to boost it, adding additional carbon to the system will also help, if your familiar with biochar this is a perfect combo to add with the jms
Hi, could I use these methods for olive trees? The grass ferment method, eggshells method etc.?
yes because these practices focus on the life in the soil and if you have thriving soil then it doesn't matter what plant its for they will all thrive!
@@gardenlikeaviking
yes, thank you! Kind regards
Can you make JMS for the fall in the garden and containers for helping the soil for the coming spring?
yes absolutely its great to add some fall applications of JMS
Hey Nate! Started some sweet potatoes for slips the way you showed (obviously not exactly though ,lol) and they are just soft and and a little rotten. In this scenario is there any point in boiling it or can I just smoosh them right up and start some JMS? (I guess the question is the boiling is just to soften the potato, right?) Thanks for all your knowledge!
yes primarily the purpose of boiling is just to soften and help dissolve the food source for the microbes... but I always boil just to be certain
how to much water to mix in for use
dilute 1 to 20
Would it benefit to add a bunch of the JMS to my compost pile?
absolutely yes!

Hello my friend here is my question with request to include in your Saturday Q & A program.
I am from Pakistan in an area having weather zone 10a 10b. Our soil, where I am farming, is sandy and mostly barren having very little or no NPK and organic matter.
Please tell how can I get good yield, even on first year, of wheat, canola and vegetables using JADAM JLF and JMS. If you can kindly explain me step by step. Can we opt the same JLF and JMS application plan for all types of crops.
Many thanks
Ikhlas
ok thank you I will address this on Saturday
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you my friend
Hey Nate! I just acquired the leaf mold and am curious how long I can keep that and it’ll still have life, or how long it’ll keep? Do you have experience there?
I saw you had some burlap over it.
so long as you keep it covered and moist and breathable... it will last a long time... its best to acquire fresh each season but if you have to use it from 2 or 3 years it will still be just fine so long as you've not let it dry out
in watching both jms and jLf what is the difference?
Good!!
hi teacher where can i buy the white strainer. thanks
very cheap they sell them as "paint strainer" for a 5 gallon bucket... 5 for 3$
Good day,
How do you store the JMS?
Kind Regards
we do not store the JMS... it must be used fresh each time
Is it good to improve hard clay soil?
yes
What is the lowest ambient temperature JMS can be brewed at?
Please watch the video I did more recently in the spring time of this year to understand everything you need to know about the temperature of the microbial solution and how to brew it in any temperature
Not sure if I dare to spray those unknown bacterias on sallad leaves.
Is this the stuff to use to charge biochar? If so, how soon must the biochar be buried with it? Immediately?
yes pour this into the biochar container along with a food source like the fish fertilizer or some manure preferably horse or cow but rabbit goat sheep chicken works too
@@gardenlikeaviking Excellent! My biochar is ready for it.
what will happen if potatoes are used raw ??
I made my first batch and unfortunately timed it wrong with the weather. The JMS was ready when it down poured rain all day and night. Next day-plants don’t need water…so the question is-do I still use old JMS? If so, do I dilute differently?
You should've used it in the rain, the microbes will still go down in the soil...even better in the rain IMHO. Remember, you're not waiting until the plants are thirsty, you are inoculating the soil with microbes that will live in the soil long after you've watered it.
@@jeffmeyers3837 thank you for your comment. I didn’t want to waste it even though it was passed it’s prime so I diluted it and threw it on my dead spots on my lawn-it’s now green!
Can I add diluted JMS to a raised bed that has a nightcrawler worm population?
Absolutely this will not hurt the worm population
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks for the prompt reply... Love your videos!!!
Hello,can I use dam water instead of tap water?
Dam right
Can you stabilize the micro tea I live in an place with 6 months of winter if I could make this in the winter that would help
for winter brewing of this stuff please refer to this video hereruclips.net/video/SUoy6-C0bf0/видео.html
I am farming about 1200 acres organically and would like to use KNF practices on my farm have you heard of anybody doing it on that scale?
You make Microbial solution with leaf mold and potatoes to grow out the beneficial bacteria and fungi, and when you make a JADAM Liquid Fertilizer, you also use leaf mold… What do you think about making a five gallon bucket of MS and pouring that in to your desired JLF? Particularly at the start of a new drum? Or even periodically pouring a cup of MS into your already established JLF?
that can be beneficial yes but its not a replacement for the actual leaf mold... the leaf mold will remain established for a long time and begin to help colonize the entire JLF.... but the JMS is not the same and it would not give us the long term effect we need for the JLF....
Got it! Thanks for your time and explanation.
Can molasses and aeration work in this
no never for this brew... we also make specifically Aerated Compost Tea but that is totally different from this procedure
Is JMS shelf stable or make fresh every time ?
it is not shelf stable at all and it must be made fresh each time
What if you did use a bubbler? Found that book for free.
then there's no way to tell exactly when its at its peak... we never use a bubbler for this brew... I'll be showing a couple this summer where we use a bubbler but its different than this...
Okay thanks so much. I found that JADAM book BTW. I haven't had a chance to read it. We've had a sunny stretch and been outside. I'd like to make these brews.
Is there a substitute for leaf mold? Or anything not outside that would contain bugs? Also would this work for COCO Coir growing? Sometimes i heard salts can build up in them but idk doing my best to learn
leaf mold is best as it has all the microbes you want. I'm not sure how it would work with only coco coir, honestly. The salt you add is such a small amount, and it's used for the trace minerals, so only high quality sea salt should be used.
I am really struggling and I could use help. I have made this twice with distilled water each time. The first time I didn’t use a strainer bag and I just put everything together and I think I missed the height of the microbial activity, but I did get bubbles in all 35 gallon buckets so I know something happened. I strained out the particles and reused that water and this time I made the jaw with the leaf mold and the potato salt mixture in a paint strainer as specspecifically instructed it’s been almost 24 hours and I’ve gotten zero microbial activity. What am I doing wrong because my plants are infested and becoming disease and I am about to lose everything I’ve spent weeks and hundreds of dollars on.
3 (5) gallon buckets
Does anyone know if this stuff is okay to use in a potted lemon tree? I bought a tree from a garden centre and it has a lot of the chemical fertilizer in it. I was hoping this can help fix the soil in the pot.
yes you can use the JMS to help establish the right MO's in the pot... dilute the JMS 20x and water very excessively until the liquid runs out the bottom
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you for the quick reply!
what are the benefits of the JMS and LAB? what does each bring to soil?
JMS is the best and it brings a huge diversity of microorganisms that restore balance to the soil
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you
I hurriedly made two buckets worth yesterday before rushing off to work. Because I was in a hurry I didn’t filter the solids out and just put everything into the buckets, figuring I’ll just filter it before diluting and spraying into the garden soil, and adding the solids to my gigantic compost piles. I took the buckets inside over night to keep them warm, put them outside in the sun today (it’s 60f here in SE Missouri today)
I just temped the buckets and one is 81.3f the other one is 85.6f. Is it supposed to heat itself up like compost?
no that heat is mostly from solar radiation of being in the sun... stay keen on when the bubbles are peaking and add the whole thing to the bed and you're good to go!
❤
Can I skip the salt?
Try it and report back.
Does the blood of a red head virgin aid at all ? Floki keeps telling me it's necessary.
Lol you’d be hard pressed to find one of those around here!
@gardenlikeaviking the blood or the red headed virgin ? 🤔
"It puts the vial of blood in the basket, or it gets the hose again"
Hello! My JMS died back too soon, before I had time to use it up fully. What do I do with the whole lot now. I have watched some other videos on this subject. They have different views. Some even advise to throw it in the compost pile. I need YOU to advise, plz. I suppose they could still be used somehow?
if you have a compost pile then pour it on that as there is still some microbial activity but not much and it doesn't have a great amount of nutrients in it so the best is to compost it as that will definitely be beneficial to the pile!
Can worm casting be used...?
not in this mixture no
@@gardenlikeaviking Thankz!
I'm in the PNW in coastal redwoods. We rarely have 70 degree days, do you just let it go longer? Or is my climate too cold? Also, my old trees are redwoods and spruce will the detritus from these conifers work or is it too acidic? Thank you, always looking for ways to better garden.
I lived in the mountains of Humboldt for a number of years directly in the midst of a Redwood grove... my heart will alway be there!... yes you can use that ancient leaf mould because thats what thrives in your area and climate... Using redwood mould is actually how I learned to make all these brews from the old timers in the mountains so yes it works great... and yes just let it go until you see the proper amount of foam as it is in this video... it will work just leave it in the warmest spot possible
@@gardenlikeaviking Much love from Humboldt!
I am seriously confused about something, I wonder if someone can help. To make JWA+JS for powdery mildew it says in the chart. In Korean 20L, then JWA 500ml, then JS 60ml. What does that mean? 20 Litres of water, then 500ml JWA then 60ml JS. Also then when you get mix right, what area does this cover? Excuse my stupidity...I just don't get it.
Can this be a good thing to water your worm beds?
absolutely!... just be sure to dilute plenty like 1 to 50 or more
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you. What you are teaching is helping us during these last days.
Would it be worthwhile to make a second batch of the JMS but adding oxygen to the mix like you add for aerated compost tea?
Would that allow different microbes to propagate?
No because we need to be able to tell exactly when the Brew is at its peak that is why we need to pay close attention to the foam and the air bubbler totally ruins that ability… If you have a bubbler it's best to make actual aerated compost tea from the video I recently made in my experience it is even better than this solution
@@gardenlikeavikingthanks for the information, yes I've also been giving my plants the aerated compost tea. I mostly used the microbial solution to add life to my garden before planting but also once every now and then I'll add this to my watering just because.
I've also used the excess I make as a sort of drain cleaner straining out any chunks and pouring the excess down my drains
I have well water not town water, so I don't worry about chlorine or other chemicals, should I still use only rainwater?
well water can be extremely "hard" and it can be problematic... rainwater is 0ppm and always "soft".... for this particular brew you'll pry be ok to use well water
Thank you friend, yes you are correct my well water is hard. thanks for the info, what about the water in grocery stores, gallon jugs of distilled or spring waters? I will collect rainwater. Thanks again, beginner trying to grow organically. Love your vids.
That peak microbe activity and past-prime comparison was clutch!
THanks for your experimental spirit!
Hi my friend. Can I use the JMS for fruit trees as well and in what ratio? Also can I reuse the leaf mould after the initial brew? So for example if I add unchlorinated water and the salt+potato mixture with the same leaf mould, will it brew another batch of JMS? Or do I need fresh leaf mould every time I brew JMS?
Your gardening channel is hands down the best one I've ever run across!!! Just what Mother Nature ordered ❤ Blessings to you and your channel and a huge THANK YOU 🙏
I am hearing impaired and don't care much for captions. This man talks plainly and I can understand him. He talks common sense gardening with high tech imbedded . I've found my master gardener.
Hello. When you said 1:20 ratio when applying to the garden weekly how do you do that without using tap water from your garden hose? I do not have a backyard rain container.
Could you please clarify this for me.
Much appreciation.
rain water or well water
I know I say this a lot, but- Thank You! This is wonderful information. (Also, your cat is adorable.)
its always nice to hear someones appreciation my friend
Made JMS for the first time the other day. Did a little experiment with two buckets.. Both buckets were made like in this video. After 24 hours no activity. In one of the buckets, I placed a moldy clod of grass clippings. 24 hours later that bucket was very active and foaming like the head on a beer. The other one was just getting bubbles.
I tried to make JMS with tap water that I let sit and offgas for 3 days and I discovered that even this was not enough to have a success result. I was successful when I used rainwater and also when I used store bought distilled water but something about tap water does not jive with the microbes even if you let it sit out beforehand. Hope people can benefit from my failure. [edit: as others below have suggested, it seems to be a chloramine issue as adding vitamin C powder and humic acid after running through a garden hose filter recently allowed me to make a flawless batch of JMS using municipal water].
Wonder if you boiled the water first
Hi Nate, my first go around with this brew. I’ve only got 5 gallons of Rainwater. So how many litres of the brew should I add? Sorry to be dumb asking but I’m innumerate . Thx in advance
4-5 days.
I built in a filtered tap because tap water is terrible here. Its super clean and everything but the clorination is crazy high esoecially since covid they pushed even more in it. The other thing with my tapwater is that its have very high GH and KH and its makes the high PH of it very stable. My labs is barelly acidic. Maybe take some tests what can be wrong with yours. I have an RO filter too maybe that would be ideal for this kind of stuff. If you think its Cl that couses the problem maybe you can try to use seachem declorinating liquid for aquarium. Or I heard that C vitamin can de-Cl water, not very sure about it and not sure how that coops with bacteria and fungi but may worth a try if you don't have enough rain water.
Seemingly a spoon of ascorbic acid ( vitamin C) will get rid of chlorine.
You are really doing a great job to the humanity. Bundle of Love from Pakistan. I wait every day to listen something from you.
Great stuff! I have been gardening for half a century and I am learning things.
Thank you! I’ve learned so much in the last 2 days!
Are you making batches weekly, or is there some sort of storage/shelf life for it?
Thank you👏👏
He answered this below, the solution has basically a zero shelf life, and should be used as soon as it's ready to get the microbes in the soil. If left in the bucket they die off quickly once the food source is exhausted.
Maybe you could extend it by feeding more blended potatoes and water for food and space to allow them to keep growing. But likely best to just use the batch when it's ready.
These are great ideas, thank you ! I think about Vincent van Gogh when I listen to you, what a striking resemblance.
I used water from my fish tank and anything that has sugar (apples pears potato’s) with compost. I live in a desert so not much trees. Getting micro organisms is the hardest thing for me to get because the sun kills everything. If you live in the desert add it to your plants at night and water a lot to try to push it down. Good luck
Yes, my Summers are brutal here in Bakersfield, we innovate, because we have to. We are a kindred spirit my brother. My best gardening is in the fall winter and spring, very little in the summer, just the opposite of our Northern brothers and sisters. I've watched my tomato plants wither in the mid-day sun even after a good watering that morning. I guess you have to see it to understand, I know that you do.
Best wishes
If you have night time where you live, then every day you have 2 opportunities to apply microbial solutions, early morning and late evening.

I haven’t got any access to non iodized salt, so I trued this with ash. It works. Might not have the most complete mineral profile, but it works. So I leave this for whoever has my same accesibility problem and is wondering what to replace sea salt with.
Is the dosage the same?
How much?
just around 1/4 to 1/3 cup for a 15 litre bucket.
What a videos my man, im back tracking every single one and learning from that next year ill get access to a 200 square feet garden on heavy clay so ill make sure to use some tips given in the videos :)
Yes, my soil are also heavy clay in some places
humic acid neutralizes chlorine and chloramine and is a great fungal food!
Curious to know if you also are into microscopy and have some ideas cooked up for us at a later date? Love your content, so precise and filled with information.
I do have a scope and look at things often but I am looking for a scope with a video capability
Keep up the effort friend.
You are doing a great job.
You do a great job describing and explaining the process of making natural farming imputs.
Thanks for sharing!
May I ask how you apply this solution to your garden, ie. watering can or water wand like in the video. Do you have a specific setup you use to spread the JMS. Like a hose end sprayer, or an inline injector.
I have been meaning to setup a inline injector setup that I can use in conjunction with JMS, or JLF, etc.
thank you my friend.... I will soon make a video on how to apply this solution because that's a common question I'm getting... I've done it all ways... through drip lines... misters... water can... overhead water from a hose with a pump in a barrel... the main thing is to make sure its very well filtered so as not to clog the drip emitters
How do you dispose of the bad batch? Did you use a hose to spray the mixture?
I also put 5oz of fish amino acid. Even if you can't use it all you can feed it as a mild fertilizer. And I feed to my potted fig trees at every watering. Lots of figs this year.
I do not have forests near me. Can mushroom compost be used as a substitute for leaf mold?
