  • Our guest today has gone by the online name of Clackamas Coot on such forums as IC Mag and Lumperdawgz on Grass City, he's an organic grower and gardener who has helped many people in improving the way they garden and move away from bottled nutrients. He is most famous for his ‘neem, crab, kelp and soil mix’ which many people know as the ‘Coot Mix’ which he shares freely and the sprouted seed enzyme teas he makes using barley. I met Coot eight or nine years ago when he came to one of my talks in Portland on compost teas.  We became friends and I have to attribute a lot of credit to him in regards to our soil mixes and nutrient packs. He's been a good friend and mentor and helped me improve my gardens over the past decade.

    The only drawback is that I have now ordered unkilndried and not steamed peat moss direct from across the Irish Sea in Ireland delivered to Lat53 UK. Not to burn on a peat burner for heating but to inncoulate and improve my heavy brick building clay garden!

    I like to think of plants and mycorrhizal fungi as companion planting. Some mycos actually produce mushrooms.
    Fungi eat two things: carbons and calories. Malted barley would fit both the bills, as would additions of soft sweet fruit (bananas) to the top of the soil, covered with easily broken down mulch like hemp bedding or chopped straw.

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  5 лет назад +7

      Mr K I think it depends. Most of what we discussed here was endomycorrhizal fungi which are hypogeous or non-fruiting, whereas many ectomycorrhizal fungi do appear as “mushrooms” or above ground fruiting bodies. I think it’s an important distinction because most vegetables, fruit trees, and cannabis have an endomycorrhizal relationship.

  • @rockinhillbilly4726
    @rockinhillbilly4726 6 лет назад +6

    What a wealth of knowledge...Jim has forgotten more than I'll ever know!
    My questions concerning leaf mold are...I'm aware that time benefits any compost and leaf mold takes normally 2-3 years to finish since it's fungally drinen. If the leaves are shredded several times, does this speed up the composting process reducing the time needed to achieve a quality product? Does the addition of fungus such as a fungal tea aid in the process? Great podcast and the knowledge shared is priceless. Look forward to more podcasts with Jim!

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  6 лет назад +2

      Yes, shredding the leaves will increase surface area which in turn can speed up decomposition provided there's still room for air (oxygen). And yes, an aerated compost tea can help too. Though the key here is still to take the time to allow it to really sit and be fully composted and you can't rush the time component.

    • @rockinhillbilly4726
      @rockinhillbilly4726 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks Tad...that's the reply I expected. Other videos state that the compost [leaf mold] can be completed is 6 months or less. While this may be somewhat true, I'm sure the time factor adds additional benefits to the compost. I would like to make leaf mold and then add barley, neem and worms to the compost and allow it to work for another period of time which should really make a great ammendment to build the existing soil. Anything to get away from bottled nutes and fertilizers has to be a plus! I already have some bokashi going...you can never have enough compost...lol!

    • @rockinhillbilly4726
      @rockinhillbilly4726 6 лет назад +1

      Tad, do you know anything about Kudzu as a dynamic accumulator? Could it be used the same as Comfrey? It is growing like crazy here in North Carolina and is readily available whereas Comfrey is not. I would like to use it in compost and since the roots extend 3+ meters deep, it should contain minerals and nutrients similar to the Comfrey. Not to mention it should make a great fermented juice full of growth hormones due to its rapid growth. Any information would be great and thanks!

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  6 лет назад +2

      I have no experience with Kudzu unfortunately. If there's any permaculture people in your area they may be able to help, or I'm sure you can find info online. Otherwise there's always doing your own tissue testing.

    • @rockinhillbilly4726
      @rockinhillbilly4726 6 лет назад +1

      Ok...I didn't know if you had any experience with it. Information I have found shows it to be similar to Comfrey. I also found articles on Comfrey stating that it was not a dynamic accumulator [which I don't believe] and they were putting it down as not being a good source for nutrients or other minerals. However, as an amendment described by you and Coot, it's easy to see the benefit of the combination discussed in this interview. What I found interesting was an article where Comfrey tea / extract was being successfully used to combat powdery mildew. Might help with organically battling the pm on your squash and pumpkin plants!

    With regards to peat moss it depends where you live. In Australia, peat moss is prohibitively expensive and not sustainable. Growing sustainably is all about utilising the resources in your area. This is only going to become more the case in the current geopolitical mess right now. Given fertiliser prices are about to rise exponentially, and up to 1.4 billion people affected by food insecurity, wastefulness will no longer be an acceptable practice. We need to reuse and recycle. I would love to see canna growers be part of the solution, not the problem as appears to be happening across the US right now.

      I did a podcast on certification that may be useful with Andrew Black of Certified KIND. Essentially if it has a WSDA, USDA Organic, OMRI, or CDFA certification then you should be good to go. There are a few gray areas that can get confusing but I don't think it's worth getting into that for the most part.

    Hey Tad I have a quick question. Thought I would ask here since you guys are talking about vermicomposting. I recently got some composting worms and upon further inspection realized there were quite a few red and white oribatid mites (among other bugs as well) with the compost they came in. Are these mites harmful to plants? I'm finding mixed information on the old interweb.

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  7 лет назад +3

      Titus, that's a good question. I'm hoping to have a couple of bug experts on the show soon. I'm guessing in small populations it's probably not an issue.

    • @kisorganics

    So my question is, if it doesn't matter what malted grain you use, why is barley the one Jim talks about all the time? Are there specific benefits to Barley that others do not, or is that just his personal preference of grain?

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  3 года назад +1

      Barley is easy to source and malted barely is already arrested at its highest enzymatic activity from my understanding so you don't need to sprout it.

    • @magnumjgjg
      @magnumjgjg 3 года назад

      @@kisorganics yeah but it is there a big difference in enzymes in barley, that other grains do not have? In this video he mentions that malted Rye has a different enzyme than others, but he also says to use whatever malted grain they have on sale. So I was just wondering if barley was just the grain he first noticed a benefit from, or if it had some special quality the other grains do not have

    • @kisorganics
      @kisorganics  3 года назад +2

      @@magnumjgjg barley has higher enzymatic levels of certain enzymes than other grains but really it's about ease of use being that it's already malted. I don't believe enough research has been done to determine the differences or potential benefits of various grains.

Is there anyway you can break the recipe down for me? I don't understand how many bags he uses, if he mixes it, if he moistens it and how much of each ingredient he adds to the soil. Thank you!!

Peat is used in the countryside of Ireland and a few outland islands of Scotland but most and I mean over 99% of the homes in the UK have central heating. It’s statements like that that make me doubt your science.I am a living organic soil grower like you but stop talking in such generalities or you’re going to come off as a buffoon.
