I'm running a few worm bins I'm planning on adding chitin rich meals along with fras. Do you think this could be more beneficial being that the fras and meals will be made into castings?
I thought I was doing something wrong with the frass . I've been throwing them all in right from the beginning . So I have something to look forward to next batch of tea .

@@johnman559Like I already replied to your other comment on this matter, predators are a valuable part of an integrated pest management control, and we literally give away more free frass than we sell. And indeed, beneficial bugs love being around plants and soil which have been fed with BSF.
@@BoogieBrewI can't thank you both enough for the videos. I have learned a lot from what you have given away for free. These videos are priceless. Also boogie brew is amazing. You could literally feel the plants loving the tea if you pay close enough attention. One of my plants was placed into the ground with a little bit of frog soil and that was it. I used a small amount of fertilizer but mostly boogie brew. The plant is 7 feet wide. Second year growing and the difference between what I did last year and this is crazy. Thanks to you both and TD. Much appreciated gentlemen!
I'm not naming names, and it might not speak to the best parts of me, but some people's presence on RUclips can be so glib that it it almost makes the online part of gathering information and ideas an aversion, and I don't want to lose heart in Organic gardening, permaculture, etc. That said, these videos really make me feel happy to incorporate some Boogie Brew products into the 2024 growing season here in Massachusetts. I really like the information and education, but I just as much appreciate the absence of glib. Glib is perfect for turning people off from engaging organic/permaculture growing, and considering the environmental state of affairs, that is bad. Anyway, thank you for all of it.
You guys have taught me so much about teas I just got your boogie brew and you gave me a free frass I freakin love it. No more fungus gnats I've had clean yellow sticky cards for about a week now yall are the best. I look forward to a beautiful bud future. Much love from Ohio guys. Stay frosty
@@johnman559Lol,😂 we give away more free frass than we sell. And btw, we ain't getting financially wealthy at all from any Boogie products. (Try running an honest-value small biz like ours and you will "get it"). As for predators, they are a valuable part of a comprehensive IPM program, but to say they are the "only way" is definitely not accurate as there will always be plentiful natural options like judiciously-applied neem with soap sprays (and rosemary / clove oils for egg control in stubborn infestations, along with sensible companion-planting techniques and soil-life promoting innoculants, etc. In any case, beneficial / predator species seem to thrive in the presence of black soldier fly larvae frass.
I live in Santa Rosa, and I'd love to get that frass directly from the lady who gets it to you. Who is she, and do you think she sells small amounts to backyard gardeners? Thanks.
Her name is Janin, unfortunately we haven't heard back from her in a while so aren't sure whether / when we can get her "fresh stuff" again. However, feel free to visit Boogie Brew in RP and we will help you out with some frass...
Bti and other biologicals that are apprived for organic farming should be fine by the time finished flowers are consumed (due to natural biodegradation on leaf surfaces).
It should be fine, Boogie has 2 year shelf life. If for some reason you are not seeing any foam, don't worry too much; it is not a true marker of your tea's real microbial potential, (although foam is admittedly 'sexy' and generally indicates activity). Water which is harder (higher in dissolved solids / minerals like calcium and iron, etc), will tend to experience less foam. Foam is not a reliable indicator of microbial activity; we've seen batches with no foam outperform teas with an abundance of foam and visa versa. Foam can be created by proteins from microbial activity, however this is not a reliable indicator. Foam can also come from wetting agents like saponins (eg: yucca) or from molasses. As stated, folks have examined very foamy AACT (Aerobically Activated Compost Tea) which was examined microscopically and almost devoid of organisms, while AACT with no foam was loaded with microbes. AACT is usually ready after 24 to 36 hours, be sure to smell to see that it hasn't turned anaerobic, (sour / ammonia-like odor), and the foods you added, (eg: "Boogie Boost"), have been metabolised. (It should smell sweet & earthy!) 24 hours is usually enough for Boogie Brew, however cold water inhibits microbial activity, so in the cooler seasons it can be advantageous to brew indoors (garage, etc) and / or place a heat mat under the bucket, as well as brew for longer periods (up to 48 hours or perhaps even longer). Be sure to use an adequate pump with sufficient air-strength to obtain proper aerobic conditions in your tea. Our rule of thumb is at least 1 liter of air, (per minute), for each liter of aqueous solution.(about 4 liters of air per gallon of tea). In addition, try to keep water temperature sufficient to allow for decent microbial activity, (about 72 degrees). Always use a dechlorinator and check your water hardness, (high ppm's are less than ideal). To observe when an Actively Aerated Tea is ready: Apply after brewing between 24 and 40 hours; smell it to make sure it has not gone anaerobic (sour / rotten odor); by this point most of the foods you added will have been consumed. The finished tea scent should be "earthy" and somewhat sweet, (some folks say a little like mushrooms). Keep the sniff test handy for any signs of the tea becoming too "mature".
@@BoogieBrew thanks for these info Josh ☺️ I'd love to find Boogie products in Europe 'cause here there ain't so many organic raw products... I rely on Lurpe products and some raw ingredients I found around me, but some things are difficult to find
I love how his videos still have the OG RUclips feel❤
Yeah, still got the "classic" camera. Hope to upgrade soon!

True back in the day when people had concentration kind of vibes.
I'm running a few worm bins I'm planning on adding chitin rich meals along with fras. Do you think this could be more beneficial being that the fras and meals will be made into castings?
Yes
17:30 please Josh do it! We all want to see TD again, please make another growing serie with him 🥰🥰 we love that guy! P.S. greetings from Europe 😄
What’s TD RUclips channel?
Should frass only be added to compost tea or can it be added directly to soil substrate mix?
I thought I was doing something wrong with the frass . I've been throwing them all in right from the beginning . So I have something to look forward to next batch of tea .
Great video content John and Josh
How do you still not know to clean your lens before shooting a video? I said something weeks ago!
thanks. I will clean it right now so it wont happen again!
Love it thanks for another great video guy's. Love the organic growing 👌
Have y’all ever heard of cricket frass
As usual, you both always put on the best informative shows.
Thank you both .
Really appreciated.
So maybe a dilute fermented frass would be ok on young plants?
yeah, pretty sure "CARCASSY" is a real word! Great video!!! 😂
Hair and nails are not chitin, theyre Keratin
I read this somewhere in another Videos comments. Maybe you already saw it..

I've got the black, but now I want the "blend." Have I already got it, or is it a different product?
If you bought the black from Josh, it depends. Originally he sold a single frass, but now his product is a blend of available frasses.

Could you discuss bt, on smoke able products like pot?
What is considered to be safe?
Bti and other biologicals that are apprived for organic farming should be fine by the time finished flowers are consumed (due to natural biodegradation on leaf surfaces).
My two favorites, I love you guys.
I bought boogie brew on Amazon and it won’t brew😢
Will buy directly next time! Thanks for your videos
lol is that possible to have "dead" amendments that won't work? Didn't know about this 😱😱 will never buy stuff from Amazon again!
