We’ve got two wonderful videos to watch after our evening meal 🥘 love to Sandra and the wonderful animals that will keep us quiet for a few hours.Thank you Tim a Sandra 😊🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Thank you very much for the video. It is still very cold here in Toronto, Canada, there is still snow on the ground, but I have been collecting kitchen vegetable and fruit waste in 5 gallon buckets, which are currently frozen outside. In preparation for this last fall I collected brown leaves. In April I will start my compos tea. Well done Tim. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
Excellent tips! I've heard quite a bit recently about soil microbe health as a key factor in making nutrients bioavailable for plants. This seems like a great way to go.
A good day is a day with 2 WoW videos! This one puts me to shame because even though I don’t have horse manure, I really have no excuse but I don’t make compost-tea. I do however put the ashes from the wood stove (lots of K=potassium) on my veggie garden and around my fruit trees
Great video thanks! I tried it last year in a wheelie bin but didn’t aerate it - it seemed to work okay but boy did it smell ….. I’ll invest in a small air compressor and some hosepipe and try your method. 😊👍
From Elaine Ingham's lectures, my understanding of compost tea was that the source of the microbes extracted ought to be from aerobic microbes bred in a static pile compost. I'd certainly of thought the microbes on sea weed being from salt water might not be accustomed to terrestrial soil.
Dear Sandra and Tim. 👍👌👏 Brewing some compost tea seems a really nice Idea! 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest something: Maybe a small air pump for pond aeration powered by a small photovoltaic/solar system (as a set usually easy and cheap to get), will be able to help not wasting 230V Energie for the compressor in the future. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health.
Thanks Tim, for filling in the blanks… Looking forward to the charcoal vid and then maybe we can get down to business 👍🏻 One last request can you reaffirm what the inoculated charcoal will do i.e. is it good for boggy ground rehabilitation… we live on a hill so drainage isn’t a problem but anaerobic soil maybe is as its soggy and definitely not friable.. We have just taken delivery of tons of mushroom mulch and we were thinking the charcoal may also help.. No idea how much we need or if we can fully afford it but thats why we’re here… to find out maybe by a bit of experimentation.. thanks again
Essentially charcoal is just a honeycomb of microscopic chambers - filled with air and water. That makes a good place for microbes to live, but also helps prevent flooding and drought. The partical size also helps break up heavy clayey soils. And of course it's permanent - the charcoal will still be there in 1000 years. In your case I think it will improve drainage and help keep oxygen down in the soil. Would you like a bag for free to test it?
Thanks Tim, we are up n Mayo so we might do a run down your end some time over the next few weeks and see the sights of Cork. Thanks for your kind offer but to keep things on an even keel we might be able to do a trade, for an experimental bag or two.. Are you in need of any power tools, I have a few industrial 110v Hitachi grinders or Bossh industrial half sheet sanders so any good to you? I been collecting tools for years and have several duplicates, is there anything in particular you would make use of?
Nice set up but the reason your only supposed to use compost is because good Compost has been breaking down and aerated for months which means it contains all the good bacteria fungi nematodes etc. adding that other stuff will risk the likelihood of you getting bad bacteria added in. The air is used to break the glues of these microbes suspending them in liquid you also want to apply immediately and don’t let it sit there without the bubbles or it will go anaerobic creating bad bacteria.
Careful using horse manure for this! - if the hay the horses have been fed comes from fields that have been sprayed with herbicide, it WILL survive the digestive system of the horses and when used as fertilizer it will stunt/kill any broad leaf plants you have. It will also survive this tea process also. You need to be sure the horses your manure came from haven't been fed hay from treated fields - many folks who keep horses buy hay in from somewhere else and this can easily be a problem. Fortunately the chemical will break down if exposed to sunlight so if you inadvertently put some of this on your garden all is not lost. Just let the plot sit fallow for a season and till it regularly to keep the soil exposed to as much sunlight as you can. Cheers.
Microbes say, nom nom nom thank you Tim.... burp. Blessings to all ❤
We’ve got two wonderful videos to watch after our evening meal 🥘 love to Sandra and the wonderful animals that will keep us quiet for a few hours.Thank you Tim a Sandra 😊🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Ahh the delights of bubbling air through a primevel soup! Great video Tim. Best wishes to all at the farm 😍😍

Yeah, here in Northern Minnesota the snow is finally gone. Looking forward to trying this.
Wonderful demonstration of de-mystifying compost tea! Also looks like an easy way to make a hot tub! 😂
Your reference to it as "tea" has given me the desire to reconsider my choice of breakfast beverage...
Thank you for sharing, the great thing about this recipes is that we can use what’s available on the farm.
Excellent tips! I've heard quite a bit recently about soil microbe health as a key factor in making nutrients bioavailable for plants. This seems like a great way to go.
Would that be P.G. Tips?
It's all makes sense, doesn't it? The microbes deconstruct the vegetation, die, and become the nutrients needed for the next plants..
Crawling with life awesome job
Very interesting, thanks Tim.
Thank you Tim and Sandra
The new Gordon Ramsay 🤣🤣🤣 Great video Tim, thank you.
Good video with plenty of good information. Thanks.
Lovely gravy that.🤗
Mothered Tea fir pland, we had this I beleive on our farm for the vegetable garden when I was a lad
Thanks for pointing me here!
....... You are right, plenty of tea brewing (I'm a coffee man myself though) ;0)

Good idea with the oxygen. I hadn't considered that.
Brilliant👌❤👍
Do you wash off the seaweed prior to adding? I would think the salt content is too high?
Great video! I heard lots of people pour in half a bucket of molasses as a feed for the microbes... but you seem to do just fine without it
Great video thanks! I tried it last year in a wheelie bin but didn’t aerate it - it seemed to work okay but boy did it smell ….. I’ll invest in a small air compressor and some hosepipe and try your method. 😊👍

Taking this and improving
Ever tried growing rice. I always taught it might go well in wet boggy ground. Bog rice 😂
Climate should be hot or humidity like rain forest
@@bluelilly22222 Wet and mild is so close there are so many verity,s grown from Italy to the tropics . 🙂
Sadly we're a long way north of Italy : - (
@@WayOutWestx2 The very sad thought lol
Mmmm tasty 😋 would it grow my receding hairline back Tim 😂
Thanks Tim, for filling in the blanks…

Interesting.
A Witches' Brew for Farmers :^)
Milk and two sugars?
did you wash the seaweed before or used them while salty?
Do you wash the sea weed prior using … to get rid of salt?
What air compressor did u use
_sip_
Magnificent
Where do I find adding carco adding?
Patiently waiting for the charcoal inoculation video 🤨😉😅
How long does this tea last? How do you store it? Or do you just leave it in the tank and continue to give it air?
Nom nom nom
No need for sugar source like molasses?
What method of application?
What is the npk??
easy..

I think you get some methane, just like a bio-power plant, and you can use it to power an engine, which in turn can generate electricity and heat.
Milk with 2 sugars please

why would the hay fields be sprayed while the grass is growing?
@@WayOutWestx2 Typically, at least here in the US, everything is sprayed to control the "weeds". Unless it's labeled organic.
❣❣❣
I thought you had to add a sugar for the microbes to eat?
why would that be, I wonder?
That's just what I've always heard.
I really enjoyed your video, and am looking forward to part two.
No milk and sugar then? ☕
Best of luck? I need professional help/ Thanks
:)
Ahhhh… compost tea. Great for the plants, tastes like crap. Scones help, but only slightly.
Your kitchen pyrex? Really!? 😵💫
Just add more air, it's sweet! 😂❤
This is nonsense.
Compost tea is becoming more popular
Why?
This is the stuff! Try it I bet you change your mind
Baahaha. 😂😂😂😂😂
Those were mosquito larvae
