We've been feeding our compost using the Jadam methodology incorporating leaf mold from the Forest on our Farm & let me tell ya that stuff is STRAIGHT ALIVE! We're building up our soil food web ❤
Yes!! JADAM IS WHERE ITS AT!!! Thanks to David The Good and his ‘Swamp Water’ as he calls it my gardens have BOOMED!!! I started mine a year ago and every 2 weeks my beds look lush and deep! I prefer the anaerobic JADAM- which is Swamp Water. It stinks, it’s THICK, it’s the best thing for the bacteria and organisms in the soil they devoured it!!!
@@StubbsMillingCo. YESSSSSSS.....David the Good & Nate over at Garden like a Viking as well! Both of these guys are Jadam Ninjas...LOL
Ocean forest happy frog!!!! The best soil I have used in the twenty plus years of gardening. I have found that if “ weed” growers prefer it it almost always has great results.
It's about the soil and why people need to get work now on it, feed the soil and the soil will feed us!!
Love these people helped me get confidence enough to make my own compost this year and everything I have put it on is growing better than it has ever done in the past
Still got the old Ford! Hell yea, brother!
I sure do my friend!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Recovering from some health issues in past few years and just getting back into the garden. Taking it slow. Doing my homework. This is what I needed to see today. Purchased some comfrey from you. Granddaughter and I planted some in pots. Now we have transplanted into the ground. Taking the area around my house to do some planting. We have blueberries, apple, fig, satusuma. Going to ring the trees with comfrey. Getting my compost started. Baby steps - moving forward. I used the black kow and everything was so puny and died. I did get a few pickings of green beans. I appreciate the knowledge you and your family share. Blessings to you.
Absolutely my friend. Thank you so much for your support. God bless you!
Thanks so much for you recent compost series of videos! I made a few adjustments and bam! We've got compost! Been homesteading for 9 years and keep learning new stuff every day. Love it.
Love to hear it my friend. Thank you so much for watching!
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 we deeply appreciate your willingness to speak truth!
Great information. This is next level and very interesting. Thousands of comfrey plants and 10 years have turned my dirt into soil. I'm breaking out my old microscope.
Thanks a lot my friend!
I’ve used Black Kow for 3 years-never killed my plants, but also was deficient in nutrients so had to supplement with organic granular fertilizer and liquid fish/kelp fertilizer. The price is getting beyond what I can afford. I’ve used mushroom compost for 2 years but not impressed with it-again had to supplement with organic fertilizers. Going to cover crops and my own composting.
I got some mushroom compost this year to mix into mine and ended up with weeds and bugs I've never had.
What an eye-opening video! I always learn something new from you guys. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I have used several bags of Black Kow in the last couple of years. While it didn’t really kill anything, the plants just didn’t grow well. You don’t know what you don’t know until someone tells you. Thanks for the info.
You’re welcome my friend. Thanks for watching!
THANK YALL A LOT
Of course my friend. Thanks for watching!
Hey Billy and all! This was a very educational and interesting video. Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thanks for watching!
You guys are rockin' it! I will be interesting to see how you do the fix up on the bad bags of soil.
Appreciate it my friend!
Thanks for testing this products. I used 2 out of 4. Love to know the result after your experiment.
Absolutely my friend!
Everyone that comes to my house is always asking me how my plants look so good, I tell them I make my own compost!!!
That’s what I’m talking about!
Glad y'all follow Dr. Ingram. She is super smart and y'all are spreading good knowledge.
I let the chickens make mine thanks for the information and the comfrey I got from you is growing unlike what I got from others God Bless
Appreciate the support my friend! God bless you!
Watched Elaine’s video took a couple tries cuz I always fall asleep lol! But amazing! You guys have digested a ton! Thank you for regurgitating it in simplicity for us !! 😂😂
Of course my friend!
"It's just dirt!" Poor Joe Dirt 😂
Thank you sooo much for all your information! Love listening to yall.
Of course my friend. Thanks for watching!
The cream of the crap😂😂Billy kills the one liners
I bought "Black Kow" three years ago. It had so much sand in it that I did not put it on the garden. I am in the mid-west with clay soil; sand does no good in it.
What a great video! Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing the continued experiment with the lackluster bagged stuff.
I used Black Kow in the past to supplement new raised beds, I've bought mushroom compost from a local nursery. These were also in my early years of gardening, where I thought plant death and stunted growth was just my lack of experience. I haven't used that stuff in years now because I make my own compost and use my own animals' manure, but my garden is the best it's ever been. LOL.. maybe I wasn't so bad back then afterall. 😂 have a blessed week!
Excellent video! THANK YOU so much for EVERYTHING.
Glad you liked the video my friend!
I’m looking forward to the results! ❤
Great knowledge!
Very good information, as always! Thank y'all!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys, that’s what I expected especially when it’s not fresh.
You’re welcome my friend. Thanks for watching!
The dairy farm a couple of miles from me uses herbicides and they supply the company with the yellow bag with cow poop. Enough said 😢
Great video guys. The bagged soil and composted manure got me last year. Wiped out some pretty healthy starts. Love the new toy/microscope.
Th🤝nk you, thank you, thank you🙏 for doing this video. You guys put out very important content. Appreciate you guys.🙆♂️🙆🏻♀️🙆
Thanks a lot my friend!
science teacher, love this I may plan this video to show science in the real world
Thanks for the information. Building up your soil is the key to healthy plants. I need to learn more and look forward to your future experiments ! God bless.
Thank you!
You’ve been really helpful!
Great video thank you for all your efforts!
Thanks a lot my friend!
Your welcome! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all this information.
Went and watched Biosludge by Mike Adam’s……WOW! 😮 can’t un-know that!
Very informative thank youuuu!!!
You’re welcome my friend!
Thank you so much for this analysis ❤
No problem my friend. Thanks for watching!
I just pulled the first bucket of soil out of my Johnson Su composter and the soil looks amazing. I can't wait to finish building my microscope to look at it.
I used that black cow last year it didn't do all that good for me . I learned to build my own using leaf mold and rabbit 💩. Boy is my stuff growing like crazy this year .
Love to hear it my friend!
I would like you to look into the "Johnson Su Bioreactor" and what it produces. I think it is right down the line you are heading on. Your take would really interest me.
would love to test my soil. bought potting soil for the pots, it's a dead zone. yeah Michelle, you got power tools in the house!
Very proud 👏of Michelle and the Family👪 for doing the microscopic 🔬studies and learning about all of this! Very Valuable Information! If I may ask, What method or element can you use to bind up the herbicides or pesticides in our soils? I heard roley poleys can break down almost everything and can remove harmful metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead! Although I haven't seen any in my beds and I wonder if Millipedes and other Isopods also eat up toxins in the soil? I have one garden bed that I un-awaringly covered with Thick Hay for a mulch layer over 5 years ago, and it must of had some sort of herbicide, like grazeon/aminopyralid on the hay! Because not too long after I laid it around my Tomatoes and Pepper Plants, the leaves start browning, and the New growth leaves were all twisting. Thanks to Danny at Deep South Homestead I realized what happened! It got poisoned from the Hay! I have done the bean test on the soil each season, the soil seems to have improved gradually and have grown monocots like Flowers and Sunflowers in that bed, amended the bed with my own compost and home made potash and a some charcoal as a regiment to the beds over the many years! And Yes, I did remove the Hay, but not until a month or two after I put it down over 5 years ago, because I hadn't learned about at that time of what was really going on! The bean trials over the years, have shown that it is almost gone, but I am still afraid of planting any nightshades or legumes in that bed, which I really need for proper crop rotation of the few beds I have! If you could please teach us on How to bind up the herbicides in the soil, it would be most appreciated! If you were present I would give you a hug and a kiss, because nothing is so frustrating when you work so hard in your gardens and then things like this or buying compost or potting soil and it's either contaminated or it's just pure junk! I've learned my lesson on making your own! The only things I buy now to add to my compost if I'm potting stuff up is Perlite, Vermiculite, Coco-Cor, or Sphagnum Peat moss, or just going out to the woods and finding a rotten downed tree, and taking that Mycelium rich Peat, chop it up, add Water to it, then add it to my soil mix, and save money by not buying the coco-cor or Peat moss! Thanks for giving us the encouragement and sharing your Perma knowledge with us all! God bless and have a Beautiful Day! 🌄
I compost in process itself usually ties up most toxins.
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 So I should use that garden bed as my compost bed for a while, but not remove the composted material to any other beds, but leave it all in that bed?
could possibly add a saprophytic fungi ( that break down dead or decaying organic material. ) to the commercial compost , along with some fibrous organic matter to help fungus establish . a suitable fungus could be Wine cap mushroom / King Stropharia as it can adapt to a huge range of potential food sources
Sigh. Watched your video from today (8/29) and you mentioned the potting soil making video, so went to your channel to find it, and there are SO MANY videos I never got notified about. This was one, gonna watch the others. May take some time though.
Thank you for the information. I watch a channel where they use exclusively Black Kow with blood meal, bone meal and sometimes fish heads in sandy soil (Florida) and his plants are prolific. It makes me wonder what's going on there.
This is such a great video.
Glad you think so my friend!
Well the apple tree and the grapes are doing much better since my chicken yard is above and around them. Planning to move it above the others this year.
Good to hear my friend!
Store bought compost: “It’s dead Jim.”
I’m glad I’m making my own compost for sure
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend!
Oh my gosh I wonder what they used to make that Black cow stuff. The only time that I have seen dirt looking like that is after it has a bunch of ashes from a wood stove dumped on it I'm not surprised that nothing grew in it. It will be interesting to see though if you can turn that stuff into life producing soil. Thanks for sharing this video with us y'all. May y'all continue having good ones. Have fun take care
Of course my friend. Thank you so much for watching!
Your welcome
I'm making my own compost and when it hits 150+ the middle looks like ashes
Hello Michelle, Comfrey doing great in raised beds. Thank you. I can get a couple of bags of leaves from the tornado we had at neighbor city of Moss Point. Question, if I can get Chicken Poop do you think I can be successful in making a home formula? Of course I'll water and turn as you guys have taught. I would like to have for next year's Spring beds. I may have to use Horse or Goat Poo, not really sure. All suggestions would be Helpful, Thanks🌺
Chicken poop does very well in the right proportions. Thank you for your business, my friend!
I have had the hardest time finding potting soil and good compost this year. Everything is just clay and wood chips. For the first time ever, I had to buy peat moss to loosen things up. The soil at our home is terrible and I've had to supplement and fertilize monthly. This has been the hardest growing season for me. I'm making compost but it won't be ready til fall plots are ready. It's been a rough year tbh. Lol
Billy what videos were those on the Black kow mix i canit find them i jst used a whole lot of it and my plants are about dead Thank u for your help
We did in about a year ago. It might be tough to find.
Thank you for this y'all!! Great info!!! This year I've upped my compost making game because that bagged stuff is EXPENSIVE!! And, the yellow bag stuff seems to actually be harmful where I've spread it in the past. This spring I got a free chip drop of wood chips and that stuff is aging in the back of my property (I've got .28 acre in a dastardly HOA where I'm not allowed "farm animals"). I'm thinking of trying to grab some horse manure from someone who wants their stalls mucked out? I'm in Wake county NC if anyone wants to hook me up!!
Hey y'all! What course did you take to learn this & how to do the test?
Try Soil Food Web website
@@PermaPasturesFarm21thank you
Tried the 18 day compost two ways and neither worked. That’s a lot of time to put into nothing. At least video games would have been fun, hah. Is there a good use for failed piles? Or a best way to fix it?
I can relate to 3:15 when I bought jars of stuff that was supposed to keep deer off of my trees. Snake oil, I guess.
I bought compost for a local nursery, planted new plants in it, and the plants died. Most of the plants that I buy from my local nurseries die. it's very annoying.
I know exactly what you mean!
I'm just banking this video to watch later, but, the real "poop" on compost is simple: stores do not sell it. What they call compost...isn't. End of story. Now, to see what is in the video!
I wonder if the numbers of these amendments could be compromised when shipped to the stores? They are almost always stored outside and get rained on, baked by the sun, bags torn open.
The Lowe's near me has a few neighborhood cats that hang out in the garden center as well.
Do you think that adding activated charcoal would bind up the herbicides? That is supposed to absorb toxins.
That's also how biochar works but the first year that binds up the NPK in the next year it releases it.
Charcoal won’t do a whole lot in terms of binding up toxins.
Back up the train. Where can we learn about the bio logic life you mentioned? Where can we learn how to do the microscope stuff? Is there a 101 Elaine Ingram class you would recommend?
It’s best to go to soilfoodweb.com
That is going to be a great experiment. Love experiments.
I'd love it if you guys could do this with some of those mycelium inoculants. Maybe evaluate an inoculant sample then try to inovulate a controlled medium like a shovel full of dirt from that hillside that's giving you guys fits because I also wonder if those will effectively inoculate poor soil. I always wonder how anything like that, shipped in a semi, could possibly have any life whatsoever. I used to work stocking at a Sears as a kid and those trailers would be hundred plus degrees and my understanding is as soon as you got into the mid nineties stuff starts to sterilize. I feel the same way about "probiotics supplements." If it wasn't delivered in a refrigerator truck I have no idea how these could have much any value at all.
Also I know Elaine is super outspoken about not using manure because it's primarily anaerobic bacteria though obviously your guys chicken manure and greens compost would fly in the face of that.
We will be using mushrooms to fix it. Stay tuned!
Where did you get the cool microscope?
LW scientific
Question, I understand that compost needs to reach a certain temperature to kill (?) seeds. Do you know what temperature and for how long? Thanks
I thought dirtcraft organics was a reputable soil producer.. jason from sow the land bought alot of it
need to create a list of monocot crops, in case of accidental or deliberate herbicide contamination , lots of incidents happening recently, start to monocot list , corn , dioscorea yams , sugar cane , asparagus , onion family , timber / shoot bamboo , grasses , cereals , banana ANYBODY think of more and add below ?
Sunflowers don't forget about sunflowers. When the season's over you rip them up and throw them in a landfill so it doesn't he contaminated soil.
I already compost at home but sometimes I find I need to supplement my compost with bag soil. What bag stuff would you recommend if you needed to mix it with your own compost? Is there a site or study that compares more bag-soil brands?
Everything we’ve tested so far has been a lousy.
Take those bags and dump them out and cover with grass clippings and leaves then come back in a year. Should be better...maybe 😃
We’re going to show you how to turn it into good stuff pretty quickly
@@PermaPasturesFarm21 awesome, I'll be waiting to see!!!
