Thanks for the video - really interested in trying this also. As the dream is to make my own hydroponic nutrients from scratch without having them derived from fossil fuels. Appreciate you sharing as always.
@@LMGH was thinking of sending off some of my worm tea/leachate for analysis - probably not for awhile though. Really interested to see how you go though :)
@@moqo Fantastic. I would love to know the results if you do test. I believe the key is to have balance as in a soil garden, biological balance. The reasoning for "Organaponics" is, IMO, where water is a commodity that is in short supply, (90% less water usage is applicable). Fertigation with home made organic fertiliser is a win win negating the need for artificial fertilisers. Growing food in this manner is excellent for those with injury. The growing method can be monitored as in aquaponics. The key is aeration and the raw material must be produced using a balanced process meaning NPK and micro nutrients. Other nutrients may be added such as azomite, properly processed egg shells for calcium, banana for extra potassium, bone meal for extra phosphorus, you get the idea. Correctly processed fish scraps turned into an aerobic solution would be invaluable. In summary, The NPK component is reasonably straight forward if the tea is created with some basic knowledge. Bless you Sir.
@@LMGH thanks mate - for me its trying to divorce myself from all fossil fuels and their derivatives. Hoping to record the project over the next few years...somewhere. Will let you know if I try youtube also :P
dude it's much better to pyrolize the bones.. i.e. make bone char. Then they crumble in your hands. I think it's helping a lot in my potting mix and where I have broadcast it. I can recommend it
3:16 I had the same problem and not sure why. The first video I watched on RUclips never had that problem but my experience was like yours.

Yes. Organic hydroponics is certainly possible for the home grower. Look into Vermiponics also.

Thanks for that.
