Excellent. I would add 2 things: 1) The bucket needs to stand in a warm spot for 2-3 days to activate the different microbes, yeasts, spores to get fermentation going. 2) Once the liquid is poured out the ground needs to be covered with mulch/straw or dry grass to keep the soil moist. Microbes, yeasts etc need moisture and full shade to grow.
no Shame in urinating in that bucket, too. and every day directly in your garden! works for me!! 🙂 HEYYYYYY>>>what happened to the BLANK video section just-before the making Charcoal-part?!!
I put the Charcoal in a bucket with Molasses and pure water. After a week, I put the Charcoal with manure and Bokashi in a bucket and fill with pure water. Let it rests for 2 weeks.
Unlike many videos of this type, this one really does have some good information. It will not transform dead soil in a few days, but weeks and months I'm sure it will.
The great thing with charcoal is that sun rain or wind not effect it; its still there year upon year. We don't always have manure or compost but adding bio- char means there will always be some life in the soil.
@@DGibsonxio Thats a great question and I have searched the internet for a clear answer. The wet microbes are anaerobic and the soil based are aerobic. Presumably the anaerobic bacteria die off in the drier environment.
Excellent video. Molasses, if available and affordable, is a great supplement to manure since it feeds soil organism that flourish in the charcoal with the manure.
Excellent example if combining short and long term fertility. We all need to overcome urine phobia more and not squander (quite a bit of exploited) resources.
You can, but it is of poor quality. The outside of the wood ( exposed to oxygen) will be ash, which will wash away in the first water. And the inside won't be properly cooked. But there should be a layer of charcoal in there. Maybe burying wood under all the ashes while having the fire would produce better results?
I do no-dig. I would put compost and manure on top and grow things like snapdragons, marigolds/tagetes and peas. They might not grow super big or spread super well, but over time the soil will come alive. I did this in my garden and now I have worms and constantly improving soil!
Lactic Acid Bacteria Solution is the whey part from cheese making and will aid both your digestion and the soil microbiome. There are many good ways to preserve the LABS for future use, and using the LABS is easy because they can thrive in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
No, ideally you use biochar not charcoal as it's an open carbon structure with not much else in it. But you need pyrolysis, aka burning at over 650c and low/no oxygen to burn the biomatterbto make it. When down right biochar is very light and brittle, sounds a bit like grass. Garden charcoal isn't burnt hit enough and contains carbon but also oils and other residues and while good in some ways is not the home for bacteria etc that biochar is. And guess what, with a flame cap fire you can make biochar at home easily. I make my own from heat treated wood I get free form pallets. I crushvit then ball mill it to ultra fine dust and mix with water and then add to my lawn and water it in. The fine particles trickle deep in the soil and help in tons of ways.
Arizona here. Desert dirt with hard pan clay layers defeats home gardening and dry surrounding soil sucks all moisture out of watering. Only functional growth strategy is container, or hydroponic variants. Raised bed with railroad ties looks rational but always fails. Home volume growing easily becomes very expensive.
Arizona here too. It isn't easy, but it can be done. All my garden beds are sunken in the ground at least 1 foot, get filled with compost until a couple inches below ground level, and covered in mulch. Even better if you bury wood (at least 6" diameter) beneath the compost (you'll have to dig the beds deeper to make room). I've also supplemented with compost tea, ash, and planting legumes like beans and peas.
The AZ issue is that about 20+" below the poor soil surface is a thick layer of concrete like hardpan clay called Caliche which prevents vertical drainage. As a teenager working on a construction crew I would use a jackhammer trying to break up that layer. The layer would not chip or break off - the bit would bury itself in the hardpan. The North African deserts were ancient forests not ocean bottoms as in AZ. There is farming here but it is very expensive and water hungry.

Yes, diluted urine has good nitrogen !!

Does the microbe loaded stuff sitting in water not kill the microbes?

Maybe a few days of work time, and then MONTHS of waiting.

0:35 nice charcoal.
Not going to lie… gardening barefoot is next level! 😂
Bro is making black dirt in one step, wow, really interesting. Would love it if someone could test it in real life .
GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU
Perfect!
So useful video
I would say, Ideally dig it in, so it doesn't dry out, and so the microbes are housed in the soil.
Can I use the fine charcoal from my fireplace or does it have to be like the chunkier type you have shown here?
Yes you can use that
It has to be CHARCOAL, not ashes.
@lazygardens we are talking about CHARCOAL not ashes.
@@jellybeans07 I know that, but the "Can I use the fine charcoal from my fireplace" made it sound like that person didn't know what charcoal was.

Can you also use anthacite coal fines, or even coal ash?
Never

Would ammonia work??
Microbes in the bucket need food to breed. Give them organic sugar or fruit.
No glyphosate.
Like Terra Petra ❤🤔👍

I wonder if using half moon beds would work in your environment. It is used on the edge of the Sahara desert to regreen and reforest.

It's probably easier and cheaper just to buy garden soil in bags, unless you already have all those ingredients.
Damn you have 2 channels?
nice
What those white did you put on the land?
Bonemeal
@@Sky-Child where I can buy Bonemeal? I'm from Philippines. Thank you!
Oh myyyyyy
My welsh garden is the opposite look
Can you use charcoal bricks that are used in grilling or must it be something like biochar?
theoretically it's possible,
As long as the charcoal has zero additives for burning, most the time is labeled as lump coal, I produce my own charcoal from yard/garden waste
Thanks for the replies
Only use “lump charcoal” don’t use briquettes
No. It wont be pure
Digging up the soil for the microbes is like punching someone in their face to create a blush.
A small amount of soil or leave mold can be multiplied many times for multiple applications.
That's right! Digging or tilling soil that doesn't have microbes will kill all the microbes that aren't there! Warn everybody!
Mr.Sam what are your suggestions then? What should one do?
#ChildrenofGod ♾ #thegatewayprocess
Wood power yeehaa.
This soil is being over cultivated. The soil will not do well like this.
You can poop in a secret bucket and add that rich microbial fertilizer in your solution .
