    Now I'd like to see the comparison of growth using worm castings from cow manure, compared to worm castings from compost. My guess is the castings from compost would do much better.

    I’m pretty sure you got most of this build info from MY video that I posted over 10 years ago. It’s always nice to give credit where credit is due. I’m glad the information was useful, that’s why I uploaded the video. Just sayin… “ rain barrel irrigation system”

  • @Amassakoul007

    Great set up! Only suggestion consider raising the barrels 2 to 4 ft. That should give you enough pressure to eliminate the pump and your solar system ( solar panel, charge controller and battery).

    there is also the factor that there's different quality of worm castings (more pure, vs more compost heavy).

  • @jilltompson2306
    @jilltompson2306 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Could be the quality of your worm castings. Try a different source. Or, several. To prevent the saturation problem use an equal amount of Perlite and/or horticultural sand with each soil. And, to ensure that the seeds are good - germinate all of them in a control soil before transplanting them into your experiment. Just thoughts. Well done for doing this video. And, thank you!

So every year the apples would get eaten by the bird, They never grew properly and the tree almost looked like it was dying one time. So last year I decided to use warm castings. Let me tell you!!,the fruit it produced was amazing!! baked a pie ,, Trees looks amazing. That was proof right there for me.

    Looking good, Farmer Cowboy Tony! What will you do with all that sage? We have one huge plant that survives winters and we can't find enough uses for it. Dried some and made it into powder. I just ordered Agrothrive - a few youtubers I trust recommend it and are affiliates. Wondering if that or another liquid fertilizer might green your plants up despite lack of sun. I gave my strawberries liquid fish fertilizer yesterday and they look better already.
