Why are more people not talking about and practicing this? I had the idea this morning and went looking for videos on it. Yours is like the only one I found.
I use my fresh grass clippings for many things. Including this. IMO, if you water your grass with this, it works faster providing the nutrients to your yard than waiting for grass left on your lawn to break down.
Interesting opinion. But why bother going through that effort if it turns out to be a waste of time? Should be easy to prove, if you're really interested. Reserve a section of your law so you can compare if you're getting results that justify the effort.
@@priayief It's not a waste of time. You're doing half the work for nature, so it can begin decomposition half way through the decomposition process. I know this because the same rule applies in vermicomposting, the smaller you can cut the food scrap the faster the worms will consume it. Mycelium as well, can colonize smaller grains faster than large. He could definitely go through the trouble of experimenting and would find results, but I can promise you on the basis of science that this does have a noticeable and worthy effect on the length of time it takes to decompose and return the nutrients. The increased surface area and bits of exposed inner blade, would allow more nutrients to be released upon watering than if you were to just leave it and wait. The increased surface area allows for enhanced autolysis, as the CO2 and excess moisture are allowed to escape more rapidly. Additionally, life in your soil will have an easier time eating and digesting the pieces. I've never done this, and don't know if I would since I think vermicomposting is already pretty easy and extremely effective. However I would bet good money with absolute confidence that this is better/faster than leaving the grass clippings where they fall. If you want to feed plants, scrap this idea.
grass is high in nitrogen but so is urine. i will sometimes use 10% urine with water to water seedlings to give them the extra growth boost they need to get going. in the garden if i have a plant that is a runt compared to the rest i put some grass clipping around the stem and after awhile it has caught up to the rest.

I expected that they would say it in the video, but they didn't, so have in mind that this reaaaaaaaaaally stinks :D This is natural nitrogen fertilizer (Same as cow feces) and nitrogen is one of the most important fertilizer for growing green parts of the plants.
@@truthseeker3477 dried grass and leaves are out of the juice, only carbon is left. You can use it for compost, or for covering around the plants to keep moisture and slow fertilizer
We have a discontinued rubbish bin its only small, we put some of the clippings after we strim the lawn inside it, we drilled holes in the bottom put a flat small slab on what should be a lid but we use ut under the bin, as the grass gets wet from rain water it filters though the holes we collect when needed and stor in old milk cartens the rest we leave in the lid or throw on compost.

For my needs I put ten used tea bags in a large empty plastic milk container filled with tap (or rain water) and let it steep for four or five days. During that time I’m making more. My mix is one part tea water to three parts water. It seems to work well and I supplement it by throwing some solid fertiliser, (eg. Growmore) around my plants every month or so.
I make weed fertilizer tea and instead of using a strainer I use a paint straining bag over the top of the bucket to poor into the other. You'll get out the weed seeds that way/
Should I keep the bucket in a dark place like the garage or can it stay in the yard? What I have in the garage is starting to have mold on top of the water. It's not covered and I stir it once a day.
I saw a video somewhere where a woman took her weeds that she had pulled from in and around the garden and put them in a large 55 gallon barrel and filled that with water and it seems like she may have applied some heat to the water to make almost like a stew and then let it set for 2 or 3 days and use that water to water her garden.
I put an air bubbler in mine for a more aerobic product. This will cultivate a mild-smelling product with aerobic rather than anaerobic microbes. Do not fill container all the way as thick foam will form for a couple days. After 3-4 days liquid is brown and slippery like STP. I've irrigated with that straight by dropping a sump pump or siphon into the barrel. Even in the heat of the summer with no ill effects. I use a mower bag full or 2 in a 55-gal barrel with a 70W bubbler to really move the water around so it all gets aerated. 40-50W would probably be plenty. The weeds and grass will be bleached out. Can't say I've noticed spectacular growth results, but it does seem to help.
@Loohan7 makes sense. I often see people recommend molasses, perhaps it breaks down slower. I think I will go the molasses route and add it as the final stage before applying the tea maybe a few hours before. Cheers. Happy gardening. Can't wait for the frost to be gone!
Surely this would only be useful for plants with a lot of leaves as it will be mainly nitrogen? I would use it on my tomatoes or other similar plants the main aim of which is to produce fruit, as you will get a lot of leaves but few fruit.
Is it necessary to dilute it with water? Some sources I've found say to dilute it 50/50 with water, some say not to dilute it at all. Also how do I store this tea?
This is something I'm currently doing as an experiment. Thanks for proving that it works! Also for the additional info about using it as a foliar spray. 👍
I'm sure that it does help, but I kind of missed the proof thing here. As a science guy, I'm guessing we might have different definitions of the word proof.
I tried this some years ago, the smell was so bad I had to get rid of all, including the bucket. my neighbors would have really hate me if I had spread it.
Use a bucket with a lid. Strain into an air tight container. Can be a bit smelly left open. Urine mixed 10:1 is good for grass growth. Don't overdo it though, I did once. My lawn smelled like a gentleman's urinal. 😳
I believe it helps even more if you add in some active compost, leaf mulch, etc. to get the anaerobic decomposition started. On top of that, if you want something with higher purity, you can pop a lid on it and steep it for multiple weeks - months siphoning off a little bit for regular application while leaving the partially decomposed clippings/mulch in the bucket and topping up the water level. Huw Richards did a great video on this - th-cam.com/video/FcmR8KbJzH8/w-d-xo.html. Happy growing!
Nope, not unless you use aeration and have beneficial bacteria in the medium…. Organic hydroponics can be done, but it takes skill. Unless maybe you are watering in drain to waste buckets with Pro-mix than yes you could. Unfortunately, you are better off using chemical fertilizer in hydro.
@@robertduklus6555 OK maybe "too strong" of a nitrogen content would burn the plants. Excuse me Mr. Fuckin` attitude. You`re today`s jackass of the day!
Better use stinging nettle. Stronger effect + more minerals and vitamins in the fertiliser. Can also make horsetail fertiliser or mix it with nettle for more minerals.

When they're young the hairy stingers don't sting and can be eaten raw and also make for excellent addition to salads.

You can use your vegetable/fruit kitchen scraps as well. I keep a large bucket in a corner of the garden and just keep topping up with fresh water as I use it. That way you can get the full complement of NPK. Great, especially, for when your plants are fruiting/flowering.

Oops. I put it on full strength. Hope all my plants don't die. I waited three eighty degree days, it was stinky and suddenly flies appeared all about where I poured or spilled it.
You can bring in organic matter from outside your garden. If you compost or ferment them and then use the compost and/or fertilizer in your garden. This way your soil will get richer and richer in organic matter and soil life. At one point it will allmost be a complete circle. Basicly permaculture.

Yes it stinks, really bad. But it's magic. The last 2 places I bought I've harvested the lawn clippings and put it over dead patches in the lawn. Rubbish soil turned into a thick lawn. I spread it about 4" 100mm thick the day I cut the lawn. Spread it to cover 6" of existing lawn. I did a big rubbish bin like 250lt of water grass clippings too. Left I alone. The black soldier flies were the only bugs attracted and they're no bother. I poured it neat on 10m² of sand and melaleuca wood chips because I didn't want to pay to have it trucked out. Bullshyt it turned into usable top soil in 2 yrs. It's awesome around palms and most trees even fruit. Just rake it away 6"s from the trunk. Cat's will shyt in it too which is better than in yr garden beds. Green is good for your nature. 🤠👍
After 3 days, it stinks something awful. I use it and the zucchini and turnips are green and strong, but oh, the smell. Wear plastic gloves when handling the steeped tea because the stench gets soaked into your skin.
If you do this, WEAR GLOVES. Don't make the same mistake I did, after a couple days of the grass sitting in that bucket, I figured I'd be fine if I got some on my bare hands, its not. the smell was stuck in my hands till the next day, I and washed em with a whole bunch of shit to get rid of that smell. Big no no I've learned my lesson. Wear gloves
Grass clippings provide 75% of the natural fertilizer a lawn needs. Removing them to put the nutrients elsewhere isn't very smart. You have to replenish the lawn with chemical fertilizers to make up for the removal of the nutrients.
no they don't, it's fine as long as you stir it a few times. all these suggestions of adding a "bubbler" and such is ridiculous. you know the old saying? "keep it simple stupid"...
Oh my gosh! This stuff smells like SEWAGE SEWAGE! There is a reason those hands are wearing GLOVES. I have literally only had the grass going for 4 days. not even closed. Yikes! I think the garden is about to get all this and the rest is going into gallon jugs that be closed. Already washed my hands 3 times and the smell is worse that the cat box. BEWARE.

Bullshyt it turned into usable top soil in 2 yrs.
It's awesome around palms and most trees even fruit. Just rake it away 6"s from the trunk. Cat's will shyt in it too which is better than in yr garden beds.
Green is good for your nature. 🤠👍
🤮🇦🇺
Mostly nitrogen, don't put to much on tomatos or you will only get leafs and no fruits
Thanks now start clipping the grass !
After 3 days, it stinks something awful. I use it and the zucchini and turnips are green and strong, but oh, the smell. Wear plastic gloves when handling the steeped tea because the stench gets soaked into your skin.
isnt it a canabilsm?
That's if one cannabis plant eats another.
No,its Plantabilism
Is this not anaerobic?
Why?
Sometimes ths method s also correct
Seaweed without heat would work better
Is there a name for this?
Liquid fertilizer AFAIK. The plants are just decomposing into the minerals and nutrients that they are made from.
Jadam fertilizer.
I'll just stick with miracle gro for now.
If you do this, WEAR GLOVES. Don't make the same mistake I did, after a couple days of the grass sitting in that bucket, I figured I'd be fine if I got some on my bare hands, its not. the smell was stuck in my hands till the next day, I and washed em with a whole bunch of shit to get rid of that smell. Big no no I've learned my lesson. Wear gloves
Thank you for the helpful advice.
I hope whole world may thy do then our environment will not face any challenges or harmful diseases
Agree, I hope all the people will good environment do and do peace to the wars and to feed the all the hungry.
Pro Libertate lol. Your an ass though. A funny ass.
You really do not need to dilute this stuff, not sure why people think its toxicly potent. IF you want to dilute it, at MOST use 50/50
Grass clippings provide 75% of the natural fertilizer a lawn needs. Removing them to put the nutrients elsewhere isn't very smart. You have to replenish the lawn with chemical fertilizers to make up for the removal of the nutrients.
You need more air in your process
no they don't, it's fine as long as you stir it a few times. all these suggestions of adding a "bubbler" and such is ridiculous. you know the old saying? "keep it simple stupid"...
1:24 "in our experiment..." What experiment? Why mention an experiment if you don't give any details?

I hope it's good, it sure does stink..
The flies love this beware
Oh my gosh! This stuff smells like SEWAGE SEWAGE! There is a reason those hands are wearing GLOVES. I have literally only had the grass going for 4 days. not even closed. Yikes! I think the garden is about to get all this and the rest is going into gallon jugs that be closed. Already washed my hands 3 times and the smell is worse that the cat box. BEWARE.
It’s interesting how soaked grass smells like poop
And with the dislike button gone I can only assume that this is factual.
Too much work. Just use the grass clippings as mulch and move on!
Yes! It is easier to set the mower on mulch setting and the grass will decay in a few days. THere is no need for that mess.
What, no piss in it?
I hear virgin's water is the best...
Yours will do then.

You must not be au fait with the Victorian home garden vegetable growth management techniques.
As for virgin, well yes, my water was unsullied and pure back in the '50s. 💦
need to note that the smell of the grass clipping is so gross. beware for those who have sensitive nose :D
thank you sharing
subcribe mo ako
I did exactly the same before seeing this video and my greens get sick.
Or you can just buy fertilizer, it's not that expensive.. Now you're whole yard is going to smell like rotten grass..
no it won't, stop lying. and stop being a tool for monsanto....
Did this once
But never doing it again
Stinky like poo and loads of flies
You idiot! You keep it covered. It's supposed to smell like that!
Shitty video, but hilarious to read all the agricultural experts in the commentary box
Which of course, you are one of them 👍
🤢🤧🤮
This is totally absurd and shows a lack of understanding of the soil biome and chemistry.
