Is it normal for it to smell up the room? It does not smell foul, It just smells like cheese. But Very strong.
Can I make one with a smaller bucket for camping/hiking?
Thank you for the calm and erudite presentation, much appreciated. Two questions for you, firstly, can I use Molasses instead of brown sugar and would it still be a 1:1 ratio or would the ratio change? Secondly, when diluting LAB with water (I have a natural mountain water source, so no nasty added chemicals like city water) is it a 1:1000 Ratio for both foliar spray and soil drench and is it the same for both refrigerated LAB without sugar, and room temperature super saturated LAB? Thank you in advance for your response and input. Lee
Gracias desde jalisco México
Thank you for your tutorial. In the UK we don't have molasses easily available (a small jar costs a bomb). I've heard brown sugar isn't ideal, especially if there's chloramine in your water (like we have in London). How much lab solution do you add to your plants water?
How do we use the brown sugar LABS and at what ratio to activate it and do we wait for the right ph#?
Do you have the Lowe’s link?
Beautiful nature and the best explanation in youtube thank u so much 💗
Thank you for the nice comment and watching our video.
Woodchip for the paths. Bracks down solely to compost.
I have a question, my LAB I made 2 days ago is separating, but theres a couple spots of green mold on the cheese. Will the serum still work? Thanks!
If the green mold is on the top or near the top of the curd that's forming your LAB will be fine. Small spots here and there will really have no impact on the LAB serum which is underneath. However I would dispose of the curd once you're finished by running it through your compost pile or a bokashi bucket.
We have those weeds in North Central Texas in the spring… I hate that stuff!… I think I’ve about convinced myself to buy a scythe. Pretty cool old school tool!
As time has gone on, I have found the scythe to be my favorite tool.
What is the best plant to use against Aphids?
We have been using eucalyptus but others have found success with sunchokes or Jerusalem artichokes particularly the roots. But the best key against aphids is making the JADAM Wetting Agent, which is liquid soap made from potassium hydroxide and an oil like canola. We have found using just the wetting agent to be very successful.
@@BareMtnFarm thanks!! I already ordered the products to make JWA. But I wish to make JHS with something. Maybe I'll buy eucalyptus extract and test for prevention weekly. Thanks!! (I'm from Brazil, the only plant here from jadam book is OLEANDER, have you tried?)
Thank you for sharing with us. Did they come back the following season?
They did come back The following season. But they tended to be weaker and we lost a significant number of plants. This bed was really only viable for about two seasons, by the third season most of the plants had died. I think it was more related to how wet our Winters are and they just really didn't thrive in an open field environment.
I tried this this year and it's much more work than using a trellis meeting and just clipping the tomatoes on the trellis. I think the hardest part is that i have a lot of varieties and they grow at different rates so weaving them all at the same time just doesn't work well. Some get the get tall while others are still getting there.
You raise an important point about having consistent varieties that grow essentially the same height at roughly the same time. I should have mentioned that is an important point in the video. If you have different varieties that are slow growers with fast growers this method definitely is not as good as using some form of trellis or netting. Thanks for your comment I appreciate you watching.
I'm planning on doing the weave this week.
Good! I've already put the second level on since I made this video. It's amazing how fast tomatoes grow this time of year.
Hey I guess I'll be the first to comment. Appreciate this content. 3rd year Gardener myself. Thank you for your time.
Thanks so much for your comment, and watching the video. Best of luck to you this season.
How did you start them? Compost? Biochar?
The celery plants were all started from seed. We used our own compost potting soil and six packs. Once the seedlings got to a point where they had true leaves we then transplanted into the garden.
So how did the bulbs compare?
The bulbs in the biochar/ Hugelculture bed probably on average for about 20% heavier or bigger than the district compost bed. I was really surprised at the difference. I think a lot of it had to do with water retention the biochar bed really had more available water moisture when the bulbs were gaining size. I irrigated both but it seemed like I was needing to put more water on the just straight compost bed. Anyway this is all anecdotal but it it was interesting to see we had larger Greener tops and bigger bulbs in the biochar bed.
This video helped me fix my injector system. I was able to see your working setup and realized I was messing with the wrong ball valve. My system sucks now!😆
Glad to hear your system is working out now.
Great video. This is the only video i saw that walk through what to do when you order a cutting. Love it. Looking forward for the 2nd part when they go to the ground. Its cooll too that she asked how long it takes to transplant. Good pointer for new gardeners. 😊
Awesome, thank for watching.
so I ended up with lots of these in a wildflower mix in zone 3 Canada the first year they grew with no flowers. they seemed to stay alive overwinter here could see the green. I had no idea what the plant was until today after noticing the start of the green flowers. Excited to see them bloom! not sure what they will do next year!
So Sweet William, the old fashioned varieties, are true biennials. If they've gone to see the plants that have a chance to grow to decent size in one season will bloom in the next season. If they're planted too late and they don't get very big they may not bloom until almost a third season. This all assumes though they can survive a rough winter.
Sweet and well made!
Thanks Hope it is helpful.
Thanks I enjoy this type of content. I pick off little gems of knowledge to employ on my small garden; it’s like finding a new shorter path to the fishing hole. Ya. Nice to see informally just what’s going on. Press on ! Best, TG
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you can get a nugget out of what I'm trying to do here. Best of luck on your season.
Could you do a step by step ideo showing how to make the Seed Enhancing solution? I couldn't find one on your channel showing the full process. This ideo just shows the two solutions already made and the rice inear. Not sure how you made the tincture or the other stuff; how much of each ingredient.
You're right I haven't made a video specifically showing how to make OHN. Nor have I done one specifically showing how to put the solution together. If you need the answer quickly I recommend finding Chris Trump channel on RUclips. He goes into depth on how to make the Oriental herb nutrient called ohn and what the right ratios are for the seed soaking solution. His videos are really detailed towards how to make these basic solutions. I want to thank you for watching and thanks for the question.
Morning. This vid had me laughing. I've subscribed. The vid is a yr old, so I hope you two still are doing good. Dave
Thanks for the sub! Yep we're still trucking on.
Stop the bullshit
Great comment. I do need to clarify this. We used no male bovine excrement in making these fertilizers. They're made from grasses, weeds, and crop residues, biochar, leaf mold, and water only. No animal waste involved. I want to thank you for watching,
Thanks for your great information. Has been very helpful. 🇦🇺
Glad it was helpful! Nice to hear. Thank you for watching
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I tried to make LAB like you showed it. I'm currently in the milk phase day 5 . Since 3 days it's just smelling like rotten milk, the separation is "milky water" on top everything else on the bottom and a thin film on the surface... I used milk with a fat content of 1,5% and wasnt expecting much "cheese" but you mention no odor and thats throwing me off a bit now. Is it time to call it a fail and try again?
Apologize for this response being probably too late for you. But the material shouldn't smell as if it's rotten milk. Something went wrong in the process and you were right if you did discard it. I would recommend using regular whole milk I've seen to have the best result with that.
For those of you who don’t want to mess with an electric deer fence in a residential area, I had good luck last year in keeping deer out of the back yard using a couple of strings of blue pennant banner flags. Borrowing from the 3-D deer fence concept, I set up the string of blue pennant flags about 3 feet behind and 2 feet above the 4 foot residential fence. Not wanting to keep the strings of flags up during the day, I attached cheap carabiner spring snaps to each end of the string of flags for easy set up and take down. I would have preferred to use strings of translucent mulch bags because of their size and the noise they make when contacted or blown by the wind, but style points count here in the suburbs, so I went with the neat and trim pennant flags. Blue flags because I read somewhere that deer are sensitive to the color blue. Let’s face it: if deer really want to get into your yard, they’re coming in, no matter what 3-D fence you’ve got-electric or decorative. But the pennant flags worked for me. Deer visitors in the early spring stayed away in the summer and fall. They had to think about jumping over the fence and contacting the flags, and decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. I’m guessing that’s what happened. BTW, the section of yard that I protected with pennant flags was two L shapes on the East and West side of the back yard, 57 foot long on either side, against a 4 foot perpendicular section of fence that contained an entry gate. I don’t think this would work for a commercial operation as described in the video, but it might work if you’re trying to protect a small back yard. For an element of sound, you might attach jingle bells to the string of flags, but I found a string of flags by itself was enough to keep the deer away. Hope this helps someone…
Thanks for your suggestion. I guess with deer you always got to keep changing things up.
what's the distance between the EC wires? Does putting more magnets on the south end make a difference of the energy flow? did you dowse how many magnets to use per line?thanks
The wires are 3 ft apart. Oriented to magnetic north. On the southern end of the wires I used seven of the magnets coated in beeswax. The size of the magnet package was approximately 2 and 1/4 in and these magnets were placed on the wire approximately 6 in from the south end.
thanks!!
You're welcome!
How's that working through the winter? Also, any trouble with bees or wasps making homes in there?
This made it through the winter pretty well. We don't really get super cold Winters so I didn't need to insulate the inside. But I'm thinking if I lived in a climate that stayed freezing for a prolonged period of time I would use foam board insulation on the inside. At this point I haven't had any trouble with the wasps but it would be an excellent home so I'm sure they'll find it at some point. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.
How close can you get to a tree? Right up against it. Try that with a strimmer and you'll girdle the tree :(
Oh yeah I can trim the grass right up to the tree trunk. It's really just a matter of learning the technique and how to hold the the scythe right. Plus it's important to keep a well-honed blade. If things get dull the cutting gets a lot more difficult.
I got my first scythe while living in suburban NJ. Pretty much the same one in the video. Mowed my suburban lawn with it for a couple of years. I've picked up several more since then and my American pattern bush blade sees more work than any of the others, because our homestead doesn't have much nice clear grass area ;) One really clear sign you need to hone again is when you see grass springing back up because it was only bent, not cut.
Yeah I've also noticed that some types of grass have a lot more silica in their leaves or stems. And that can really dull the blade fast. It's always good to keep things honed to sharpness. Thanks for watching!
I also have peach leaf curl and would like to try this. Where did you buy the ingredients? I didn't see then in your Amazon store. On another note: I used the OHN as a pre-emergent on one of my peach trees this year, and it has significantly less curl than the other trees. I applied it due to a different bark condition. I recently read somewhere that the fungus lives on the bark and that the best defense is to apply treatment just before and during the stage the leaves are emerging so that they aren't infected. Going forward that'll be the approach I try to take.
Yeah, I missed using this as a dormant spray. Definitely going to take the same approach as you. You can get the sulfur, sodium hydroxide from dudadiesel.com. Also you can get potassium hydroxide for making the wetting agent JWA fro them too. They sell these items in smaller packages that works well for batches at our scale. Only downside is freight is now pretty high.
@@BareMtnFarm thank you. I have yet to make the wetting agents. Have you tried LAB on the leaf curl? I was also thinking since the fungus stays in the soil that possibly some sort of JMS as a soil drench a few times over winter might help?! I really want to be successful with my peaches & nectarines!
💦 Once the lye and water are stirred to make the lye solution, lye solution will become very hot, sometimes reaching 200 degrees. When you are ready to make the lye solution, (((((ALWAYS pour the lye into the water.))))) One of the best tips that I've found to remember the order is to envision a light snow falling into a pond. ❄

So much jibber jabber, I gave up halfway through because it's nothing but jibber jabber.
Well the great thing about RUclips is you don't have to pay for it. So if it's not your cup of tea, great. Just swipe away, no hard feelings. But what I don't understand about people who don't like a video that wastes their time is why they then spend their limited precious time writing comments about how they don't like to waste time watching your videos. Kind of strange isn't it? Sorry for jibber jabbing about jibber jabber. 🤔
How did you determine how many magnets to use? What is the width of wire placements? thanks
I got the information from the Yannick Van Doorne. He's the one who came up with this technique. I think a reply earlier but the spacing of the wires is approximately 3 ft or 1 m. The wires need to be oriented to magnetic north. The magnet placement is through the hole in the magnets 6 in from the southern end. Also the magnet I use were 7 per wire. This made a combined magnet of approximately 2 and 1/4 in. I coated the magnet package with organic beeswax. This beeswax helps keep the magnet sealed. Also too it's important that the magnet package that's put on the wire that the northern pole points to the North with the magnet package approximately 6 in from the southern end of the wire.
In my experience, my potatoes that get irrigated and fertilized produce fewer tubers and more top, as well as having more scab and insect issues. The ones that didn't have fertilizer or irrigation were healthier and much more productive. Thank you for trying out crate production, I've been looking for more information on it.
The magnets aren’t in your store page.
Hi, just checked the store and the magnets are on top. Follow the Amazon link in the show notes and then the link , as seen in videos, the magnets and beeswax are on top. Thank you for watching.
Hey Tony! Could you tell us about the magnets you ordered? Would they be rare earth, or manufactured? What kinda size and shape? Maybe you are planning to explain this in your next video. Thanks! Andy.
Im confused. It looked like you drown them, the heads were under the surface. Wouldnt it make more sense to put something in the center they could crawl up on after exposure, or at least just put a half ml in there and not drown them? Heck a misting would have been better.
I suppose this could have been designed differently but the beetles have the ability to fly and could have easily climbed the sides of the container. What I was shooting for was proof of concept that the mixture would stun and kill. Actually application I use a spray that mists and coats the plant much like you noted. In actual application the material had the same effect on the beetles.
can you add some of this to a aerated compost tea , will it out compete the other microbes
LAB is a facultative anaerobe and is naturally around even in composts. Adding the LAB to aerobically made compost tea may have no meanful effect due to it being outcompeted by the aerobic microbes. I have never done this so this is just my hypothetical thoughts on this
@@BareMtnFarm thank you so much sir , Im watching your vids and learning a ton ... Much love from new jersey
GOOD INFO! Do you still have to use distilled water if you don't have hard ground water?
To get the surfactant best application use of soft water, rain water, or distilled water would give the best coverage. However, the material could be applied with regular water. The only difference would probably be spotting on the leaves. If this isn't important I wouldn't worry about using hard water.
I’m an official convert !! I bought my scythe setup last year…and THIS year I GAVE AWAY all my gas-powered yard & field tools (DR Trimmer, Stihl string trimmer & Husquvarna w/brush blade). Now I’m using ONLY my Austrian scythe: the grass blade on my field and a ditch blade along the roadside. I will never use “modern” lawn tools again!! PS… the “A” in snath is correctly pronounced the same as the “A” in “apple”… NOT like the “A” in “bait”. Nice demo. 👍
Glad to see you like the tool too!
Ich liebe Sauerkraut! Liebe grüße aus Deutschland:)
I’ve watched several how to videos on making this and yours is by far the most comprehensive and clear - thank you!
Wow, thank you! Hope it is helpful. Thanks for your comment and watching.
Looking forward to see the progress with converting the clay to a growing media. We have some similar ground where I want to do that. We’re also trying to move to the Korean Natural Gardening too. Good luck and best wishes.
