I have a small orchard the elk visit regularly. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I scoop those shiny soft nuggets up and top dress my citrus trees.
It's great stuff, similar to goat poop.
We gardeners have our own perspective on treasure, lol.
I'm in zone 7b, citrus are in pots, protected inside during winter
My organic dairy farming neighbor has a mountain of composted manure. and I have manure several years old in the barn from our own critters. I gotta get busy.
My first thought…”citrus and elk, where does this person live” ????
In AU, you're lucky if you live near some open bushland because you can do the same with kangaroo poo. 👍
If you get manure from elsewhere, make sure as best able that animals have not eaten hay with Grazon. It does not breakdown in the animal body so the Grazon manure can ruin your garden. If get outside manure, compost it (heat, moisture) for several months (6mo to get down to
never heard of that stuff before but I know glyphosate from herbicide can persist like that
Actually, it can take years for Grazon (or other aminopyralid herbicides) to break down. But bravo for emphasizing this!
I was just going to comment about grazzon
Don’t be shy to ask the question from your sources about use of Aminopyralid when buying your hay but this information may necessarily be know or communicated when getting manure as it does effect the animals. It’s outrageous that ‘Big Chemical’ companies can be allowed to sell products that destroys the human food chain… and the make Big money eye out of it! It’s so wrong!
@@trumpetingangelthey need to take that stuff off the market! Very harmful to the gardener and soil.
Your knowledge and teaching style is like fertilizer for the body, mind and soul! 😺❤
thats such a beautiful way to put it thank you my friend
I agree. New to the channel. I have been binge watching!!
I’ve been binge watching too 😊
Put my THUMB'S up, before I even watch the "Nate, Garden like a Viking" video. Because I know I am in for another "TREAT"
I really look forward to watching another AWESOME video.
And of course, I always share it with my family and friends.
I am truly grateful 💕 for all your time, and energy that must go into making sharing such much needed gardening like a Viking.
And I know all the wonderful people who watch, and are benefited by your sharing.
And I am using many of the soil amendments you have already shown us.
Thank you SO much Dear Nate! ❤️.
I always appreciate you being here pam with your positive energy and enthusiasm!!
I USE MANURE FROM A SMALL HORSE FARM WHERE THEY MIX THEIR OWN FEED AND ITS ALL ORGANIC-NO PESTICIDES.
Same! About to go get 15 yards for winter composting 🎉
Always look forward to viewing your latest "Viking" video! Invariably, the content is what I have learnt to do, along my journey of natural garden practices. But your clear explanations of these methods do put the "meat on the bones" in analyzing the reasons and benefits! As always, thank you for your passioNATE education! Cheers from Melbourne, Australia. 🍀
passionNATE... lol I like it!!!... thank you my friend for always bringing the positive energy and enthusiasm!
So glad to see you back with a video of my favorite subject. The leaf manure lasagna looks just like the ticket for the garden. It’s so upsetting when people use something as irresponsible as grazon to cover their poor management. I thought it was a joke when I first saw it a few months ago.
for sure if I had your set up I would gather a couple truckloads of that good cow patties and put directly onto the garden bed with lots of those leaves from the nearby woods!!... totally ideal
Hello Nate from the tablelands in NSW Australia.
Without fail, every time I watch one of your fabulous videos, I go straight outside to make a brew, water plants and soil with a mix of the brews, sow some seeds or make a new garden bed.
Thank you so much for all that you share so freely 😊
Thank you for this video. I've gathered horse manure, straw and leaves to layer in my new raised beds to help fill them. Glad to see you doing it as well. I recently found out about the persistent herbicides that can be a problem in our gardens so thanks for mentioning it. I'm currently testing my horse poo and straw on some legume plants to be on the safe side.
yes thats a good way to do it with beans because they grow so fast and are very sensitive to it
Awesome video Viking, thank you so much. And we got to see a brief cameo of your kitty supervising you!
Good talk Nate cheers, a warning on broadleaf herbicides they use on pasture, I got hit ~10yrs ago with it in horse muck, it took 4 years for it's effects to disapear!
You really have an amazing way that help us understand gardening, thank you for you. Great video 🙏
It looks like you are going to have a super garden with all of the manures you are using !!!
I live in the Black Hills. I gather fresh turkey droppings, and buffalo pies. It's slow, but wandering the prairie and pines isn't too terrible a price to pay. Turkey droppings dissolved in urine go into my hot compost. Buffalo favor a eating a mix of dry and green grass, but I can only speculate how that would affect their manure, hard data being hard to come by; I'd guess lower nitrogen. Their digestive tract is very efficient, so weed seeds are not an issue. Far fewer chemicals, etc. Thanks for your efforts.
that sounds quite enjoyable actually!!... I'm sure buffalo is similar to cow in its composition although I don't have direct experience with that... definitely beneficial no doubt
I'm gaining a crash course of garden mastery! Thank you!!! I've been looking at the deer poop here and now I've got the green light to gather it up and make a sort of "tea" with it to use in the garden. The information that you are giving us all is unparalleled Nate.
Thank you for all you do. Just starting listening to your information the last two days. No t.v. in this house. God bless from N.C..
no t.v. in this house either!!
I only have free access to goat manure, wasn't aware it was "cold". I just pile it in the compost piles
Cool... not cold... lol its still really beneficial to just add to the compost but you also can add it strait to the soil in the beds at any time during the growing season
Awesome Nate thank you for the breakdown. As someone who raises chickens and also has a garden I sometimes question the best way to handle the manure but this really helps put things into perspective
I get so excited when u post new vids haha been binge watching your stuff learning lots and making fertilizers from fish and high nitrogen plants and weeds with your methods thanks for the info
I just watched this video and thought I was almost looking in a mirror, I was looking at the yellow top spray bottle and looked at the couch next to me and the same spray bottle is sitting there. Great videos! Learning lots!
It was funny running into this video. I made the exact compost pile 4 months ago. It's beautiful now. I'm feeding some of it to my worms and the rest for the garden. Thank you for the wonderful job you do.
Thank you! for putting it in simple words about the effects of to much salt in the soil from synthetic fertilizers. I have tried for years to explain this to farmers but did not have the right words that would convince them.
Looking for some manures in just the right places. Thanks Nate
Howdy Nate! Great break down on manures; I’ve painstakingly built up large quantities of compost and leaf mold this past year, recently got some horse manure from someone who had a few horses. I will be more careful than ever on my sourcing and handling of the manures. Thanks again!
One of my best years of gardening came after adding many yards of horse manure. This manure was composted 7-8 years. I’ve used manures of all sorts (chicken, horse, cow, rabbit) in all stages….none have compared to well aged fully composed horse manure.
I do like manure in small amounts but I like fish scraps in large amounts.
yes that is absolutely my experience as well... the very well aged and fully composted horse manure is the finest of all
I apreacaite this a bunch!! keep upu the good work...love the videos!!
Sorced from my brothers organic farm.
Can have all I want and need.
I've made a couple 5 gallon buckets of chicken poop tea fertilizer... Using just poop and leaf mold. They were my chickens. I'm so looking forward to using this new found method of fertilization that you have taught me. Thank you my friend....
I was thinking about doing this, but haven't found a video on it yet. How much of each did you put in the bucket?
@@veraw2121 I don't think it's an exact science but I used a handfull of each then rain water. strained it with a paint strainer
@@TerryA_Gudde I know, but a handful is something completely different as half the bucket 🙏
Did you add something else?
@@veraw2121 Ok so a handful of poo, a handful of leaf mold in a 5 gallon bucket that has a paint strainer in it then fill it 3/4 of the way full with rainwater. I took out the paint strainer containing the fertilizer after about 3 days then put the lid on it and let it ferment until you want to use it. I'm just experimenting really. Have an amazing day miss Vera I hope that helps.
I am REBECCA YMAS ,A VEGETABLE FARMER HER IN MY COUNTRY .INTERESTED TO STUDY YOUR TECNOLOGY ABOUT GARDENING HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAY MY FRIEND.
Aloha from Hawaii we really appreciate all your techniques we can grow year round here and have been taking advantage of most of your techniques... Mahalo keep up the good work!
Outstanding video. Very coherent, useful and timely. That's one of the things I love about your channel, you time the videos to the work that's best done when you give the information. Keep up the good work brother, it's much appreciated.
thank you for the helpful feedback my friend and yes I agree timing is everything and it helps people immediately put the info into practice so it becomes knowledge to them!!
Another red flag issue with industrial farm chicken litter....At one time growers would change out the litter from a chicken house every time the birds were collected. It was part of the disinfecting process from one flock to the next within the house. That litter was already not good due to the issues discussed near the end of this video. But now, making litter even worse is that it is disinfected between flocks without changing it out. So one bed of litter is used for multiple grow outs, collecting medicated manure, then that bed of litter is sterilized with chemicals so that it can collect another layer of medicated manure and so forth.
wow I did not know they now use it for multiple flocks but that unfortunately doesn't surprise me!... thank you for sharing your knowledge
Lots of those here in NW AR. Was desperate to get some non chemical mulch and fertilizer for pastures and wondered if I should buy some just once. Friends who grew yup here said the litter alway brings horrendous weeds with it. So no go
In the name of reclaiming land along our river and streams a project is being planed.
I don't want NGO's in my state either.
Lord only knows what will be devastated.
Free food for one thing.
I don't do fb but I say plenty at the farms I visit putting a bug in their ears to
spread the knowledge on fb too.
Thanks Nate.

Live in the rural area and ave family with turkey farm cow farm and horses awesome learning for me. Thanks for your intelligence
Great video again. Thanks
Using wood Shavings, quail manure, older cow manure and straw I had from last year and this year that’s not completely composted in the bottom of buckets. I hope I have not made a mistake. Was not planning on having a garden this year, until everything‘s going sideways.
Using a mix of the older compost with some soil I had in my grow boxes in my sunroom. We’ve had a very cool spring and summer not getting over 65 much usually 50 to 60°.
I have so many questions, I will keep watching your excellent videos and learning the best I can.
If I have any breakthroughs in this harsh climate I will let you know. We live at 7400 feet in a high desert.
🙏
Great content full of details to learn from! I noticed you mentioned turning the compost once a month and it may not be fully broken down when used. Will it break down faster if you turn it more?
yes if you turn it more often but still keep it big enough at least 3x3x3 then yes it will break down faster... also add some high nitro things like urine that will really help speed it up
David u used chicken manure that the guy said wascured when I apply to my plants the heat kill them all now I am composting it in half barrel s to plant grafted avocados lime an lemons soon
I have a couple pigs and it makes some high octane fertilizer I keep wood shavings in their pen when it starts getting sloppy and when it starts building up I will sling it all over my garden in the fall and winter I fermented some of their grain and they love it
Graze-on is that persistent chemical on the grass fields that passes thru the animal, only to burn your garden
Hello, Thank you very much for all this information about gardening! You give a lot of information in one video. What I like very much. I was a little bit surprised that you can't find seeds in cow manure. I haven't any experience with it because I use only what my garden gives...Chicken Manure. I read the last day's about it and there I found that only the manure of pigs is without seeds and that it depends what kind of seeds they eat. There are seeds of plants or herbs or weeds that can resist....
yes there can also be some seeds in the cow manure but nowhere near as many as the horse!... the horse manure has hundreds and thousands of them where the cow may just have a dozen...
Nate, I just pitched your channel on Gab. I'm trying to help you grow your channel; you're most worthy my friend.
thank you for the support my friend!!... what is Gab?
Yeah what is Gab??
Thank you Excellent concise information trying horse manure looking forward to a better bountiful harvest
Viking, You makes it look too easy !!! Thanks again.
lol you're right its actually a lot of physical effort hauling 1000lbs of manure by hand!!.
you do some of the best videos-Content and presentation.I have learned a lot from you Thanks
I use local organic...only...works great. Over winter with leaves really helps
Unfortunately you’re right they spray a numerous amount of chemicals. People will use manure or straw in their garden and lose their whole garden around here. I have been using organic wheat straw for years. But organic farmers are less and less as the younger generation has no interest in farming just spraying chemicals. I am going to try a couple rows this year with no manures just plant matter. Should be interesting. I am very lucky to have manure in my old barn and buildings that are at least 40 years old. They never clean their buildings out which destroyed the buildings. But I have years of gold :-) thanks for the video
thank you!
I have a HUGE pile of donkey manure from my herd that I just burnt/biocharred. I figure now it won't have weeds and it will supplement the pine pot ash, which I also have a large amount of.
THANKS FOR THIS WELL EXPLAINED INFORMATION
Excellent
I'm making a huge batch of compost with fish from the lake, goat man., chick man., fish hydro., kelp, oak leaves, grass clippings and food waste and a bit of ocean water.
Thank you for your teaching!
I have no leaves here in Portugal. Most are the Eucalyptos trees which are bad for the soil or Pine trees and Cork Oaks. They all don't lose their green. What can I take instead of leaves?
please watch this video hereth-cam.com/video/H4LBFn-4Ut8/w-d-xo.html .... towards the end of it I explain exactly what you can do to harvest the microbiology ... otherwise to cover the soil you can use any type of organic matter even cardboard or grass clippings or even plastic if you have nothing else just keep it covered
Thanks for sharing my friend, as usual I've learned a lot ,,worth watching 👌👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗
Very nice video. Wondering about deer poop...I have a lot of it.
yes its wonderful to use both as soil amendment and to make a fertilizer tea
Thanks!
thank you for the support my friend!!
Thanks for that explanation
How did you get the siphon started on that barrel?
Dewormers are another chemical to be aware of. Manures with dewormers break down more slowly. Because the dewormers are designed to kill the parasitic worms of the host, it has the added consequence of also killing the dung beetle and other forms of life that break down manure. Eventually it decomposes, but it sits and putrefies for a whole lot longer while also killing other insects in the environment.
On the note of sourcing chicken manure carefully; just because your source is small doesn't mean that their manure is antibiotic free. Purina notably, probably others, likes to add nontherapeutic levels of antibiotics to their starter and layer feeds. These are available without the added chemicals but depending on what your feed store stocks you must watch it. Don't accept "they all have that" because it isn't close to true.
I'll have to watch later, im busy with my plants 😎👍
Always excellent advice
Very good. Thank you!
Thankyou Sir Very Helpful Information. I have a landscape company that drops off 2 to 3 truckloads of grass clippings and leaves weekly on my 20 acres. I just need a mulching machine now. 😫
wow that's a really sweet set up you have!!!...
Next job in the spring will be setting up n a worm farm. I will send you pics when it is set up. Snowing the last few days here in Washington State. Happy! Holidays! Jerry
Hello. It seems like we could make horse fertilizer with the leaf mold and use it as a tea fertilizer. Would this then digest any pesticides and seeds and any other undesirable chemicals or medicines or anything - in that way having a "clean" form of the horse manure to use??
horse manure can definitely be made into a liquid fertilizer!... Yes it will definitely help solve the weed seed issue especially if you make a sieve to use when you retrieve the liquid... but I cannot say for certain about the undesirable chemicals as I have no direct experience doing that... theoretically yes it should render the compounds inert much faster than traditional composting
Thank you, Nate. I’m liking a Viking!!
Could I make a JLF with the manure? If so should I dry it first?
How much carbon (leaves or whatever) do your add to horse manure? I know horse manure has a lot less nitrogen than cow manure and that chicken manure has wy more nitrogen than any of the others. So I guess you have to add way more leaves (or straw or whatever) to the chicken manure, and less to the horse? The Amish farm I get the horse manure from uses pine sawdust and wood shavings from their lumber mill as bediding for their horses. If there is a lot of wood material, does that mean there is enough carbon as is? Does it hurt anything if I add too much carbon (add.a thick layer of chopped leaves) to the horse manure? This is the first year I couldn’t source any cow manure (and I didn’t think want to buy the bagged stuff from the big box stores), and it’s the first time using horse manure so I’m unsure of the proportions i should use. This video helped, thanks!
you can compost that type of sawdust bedding manure strait as it is if you wanted a fast decomposition... the more carbon you add the slower the decomposition will happen but it will not hurt anything either way... personally I would just put down a thick layer of leaves then pile that horse manure as high as possible and keep moist and covered and turn it a few times over the winter and it'll become very nice by spring
Great video, as always, thank you!
Thank you very much 🙏
What if the cows are given salt. Can that put too much salt in your garden? Thanks.
Please identify your region or area of the country; trying to get a sense of the lengths of seasons you have (e.g., length of winter time for decomposition). I am in San Diego and only true dormancy here is November and December and it never freezes along the coast. Thank you for your informative video
zone 5b Northern Indiana... you will have more success adding horse or cow manure or finished compost and then utilizing cover crops directly on top of that... grow a Dundale Pea cover crop over the "downtime" that'll pump additional nitrogen into the soil... in your zone its all about cover crops
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you for your location (cold there). We are in planting zone 10B, the lowest temperature we get is low 40’s mostly, but this year we did hit 39 degrees so can vary a little but never freezes along the coast. Agree with benefits of horse manure and finished compost. The horse manure we get is composted for 2+ years so looks like brown soil. When we amend our raised garden boxes with composted horse manure + finished compost in a 50:50 mixture, it really gives the garden a great boost, and we amend once or twice a year. Interested in trying your suggestion of cover crop(s), will look into Dundale Pea. Thank you again, really appreciate your information.
Help! Winter came 3 weeks earlier than usual this year and I didn't get my garden area (1st time gardening on this property)
prepped in time. There is now about 8 to 10 inches of snow on it and the temperature is down in the single digits this week so the ground is already frozen the first maybe 4 in. down. Can I still add my chicken compost and cow manure on to the frozen ground where I want my garden to be? Or should I just wait for the thaw in the spring?
Thanks, love your channel! 💜 (formally known as Samantha @ Avalon Woods :).
I'm in zone 3 in the high desert of central Oregon @4200 ft. East of the Cascades).
I would go ahead and add the manure. Snow is a great insulator. If the soil stays covered, the frost will soon be gone from the ground. I’ve often gone out in February or March, dug through two feet of snow, and dug out soil for potting mix. Try it!
Dr. Ingham says Aminopyralids will also survive hot composting, but it is also true that biology can heal the infected soil, but it may take several years. If you’re in doubt about the presence of these broad spectrum chemicals, plant a few bean seeds in the manure. If the growth is all wrinkled and puckered, you have chemicalized manure.
yes you can still add the manure for sure!!... just clear away the snow and add as much manure as you can... ideally pile it a couple feet high and then add some kind of carbon like leaves or straw or even lots of cardboard... it will all heat up to a certain degree and decompose and if there's any left in the spring just push aside and plant into...
I've made a chicken manure tea using leaf mold and chicken manure with some bedding. It's been fermenting for about 2 weeks now, and I've been stirring it every day. Is that OK? When and how should I use it? Thank you
yes thats great!.. no need to stir it daily just let it sit and "ferment"... you can use it anytime from now into the next couple years it will just get better and better with time... apply about 1 to 100 ratio to the soil once every two or three weeks
When getting manure make sure the animals haven’t been fed hay with grazon used on the hay. The herbicide doesn’t breakdown and can kill your garden
Hi I'm from Australia, I live on 2acres that I share with kangaroos and rabbits. I collect the kangaroo droppings, soak them in a bucket of water for a few days and feed my whole garden. Hope I'm doing the right thing.🌾🌿🌺
it certainly sounds to me like you're doing the right thing!!
FYI: the idea that all factory farmed animals are dosed with antibiotics is old news. Not that it's from nowhere, but it hasn't been the case for years. This is a great change to how most animals are raised in this country.
What do you do to winterize jlf. Can't just stay outside in barrel
th-cam.com/video/8_6hVN5El1Q/w-d-xo.html
Great idea I’m definitely going to try this method on my garlic bed this fall , I always do the leaf layers but I usually just use the chicken poo in my compost bins. I love exchanging ideas sometimes after years of gardening we get stuck doing the same methods never thinking out of the box, I really appreciate your videos I can honestly say Ive learned more from your videos then any other creator on TH-cam 👍🫶🏼🌞
I really appreciated this information. I have horses that this past spring,summer and fall have received pelleted feed as needed, but pretty much “lived off the land” without exposure to chemicals. However, the electric company came through and sprayed some kind of herbicide under the lines without my knowing until I saw the dead vegetation. THEN they sent a mailer to their customers saying “Round-Up herbicide is considered to be generally safe.” It actually stripped the paint off some metal buildings that were near the power lines and received some of the “drift”. I assume then that any manure that the horses that grazed in areas under the power lines deposited back in their stalls and small paddocks, is poison to my garden plants?
Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you. If it really was "roundup" AKA glyphosate and nothing else then it will dissipate pretty quickly. However it may have been some type of combo herbicide that has glyphosate and other herbicides and a "sticker" agent as well to make the spray last longer. I'd be highly suspect of something that can take the paint off a metal building just by drift exposure. If it were me I'd set up a compost area for that manure from your horses and any other plants that might have been hit with drift and set it up far away from growing spaces and in a location where no rain run off from that pile could harm anything. I'd let it compost at least 2 months and then pot up some of it and test growing plants like tomatoes and peas and see how they do in it. Tomatoes and peas tend to be pretty sensitive to herbicides in my experience. If things can grow normally in that compost then you'll know it's fine, if not then you'll just need to keep that pile damp and covered and let it compost down longer. Eventually all herbicides, no matter how nasty they are, will be deactivated by the soil biology but it can take our little amazing soil friends a good amount of time to take care of some of these herbicides.
Also after you muck out your horse stalls you might want to put down some PDZ sweet stall refresher to help bind up any residual herbicides. Best of luck to you!
@@southpost1224 That spraying will continue to happen. Call them at let them know you will be donating fresh veggies.
fortunately Round Up has a very short half-life of effective killing... so the manure will not be effected by the glyphosate (roundup) but it would be much more effected if something like Grazon or a 2-4-d was used... you should be ok
I'd like to put a 2L box of dried hen poo in a bucket or Microbial solution mix it well and let it age 30 days. Then alternate it with my Urea. About the same strength. Growing Laughing Buddha plants. Any thoughts?
Thanks for knowledge/ cannabis will luv this
Thank you my avatar friend. Greetings from Slovenia (sLOVEnija)
I raised my own beef( never gave them anything as far as chemicals) had to buy hay and garden does not like poo from them
Hello. We have 2 horses and my husband thought it was safe to use horse manure fresh in the garden. I think someone used our horse manure before with great results. I have not. I feel it needs to cook a bit. We have a lot of manure. My question is this, we vaccinate our horses once a year. Would composting the manure for an entire year eliminate anything harmful from it or should we just avoid it all completely?
Also, we feed the horses hay, and cubed alfalfa. We purchase both things. Our pastures have suffered, and we are in the prosses to re-seed them. Meaning, we will still need to feed our horses purchased grasses. I feel this too affects the quality of the manure, not knowing how these grasses were grown or what they used etc. Would this manure be useful for us, or should we give up on it all together?
horse manure can be used fresh in the garden and I have done so many times... however, its even better if you can let it set in a pile for a month or two before using to let it mellow out... an entire year is not necessary... 2-4 months in a large pile is more than enough for basic simple vaccines but if the hay they're eating contains a broadleaf herbicide then you may have an issue... test it first by planting some green beans into it and if they grow ok you're fine on the herbicide
I use fresh sheep poo all the time. Never had burns.
You could use cardboard for your carbon if you dont have leaves. I really only have pines. Takes a few years for pine needles to break down.
Hey bud a quick question I have recently just got chicken pellets that are organic they said you can just put them on the top soil and then water in or let the rain do it but now I am a bit worried about it after watching this video di you think I should remove it as I don't want to harm my plans as this is the year most of my fruits will produce any thoughts or advice would be fantastic and thanks for your many videos I love watching them your knowledge is amazing.
If they are dried, they are far less likely to burn the plants. Apply sparingly, or you could even test them out on a small section, but it should be okay. My chickens do their own fertilizing on my plants and I haven't seen any ill effects!
Thanks Nate, I can get whatever manure I want out here but I've been questioning where it's coming from and the nonsense they're being fed and treated with, bit similar to us, I'm sticking with the rabbit manure, I can fill buckets of it and it's right by the sea, I've got 3 dogs so it's a fantastic day out for us all, don't worry they never catch any of the rabbits they're way too smart for them, I honestly think they tease the dogs as they're totally exhausted after an hour and not one rabbit caught.
I've seen videos from your part of the world where they use small creatures like a ferret and chase them out into nets then club them... looks like a very very old school method... yes that manure would work wonderfully!
@@gardenlikeaviking There's plenty of rabbits about I'm not into killing stuff at all but unfortunately there's a few that are, most of them are in government lol.
What is that you used to remove the JADAM fertilizer from the barrel?
Can anyone tell me what he is using to move just the liquid from the drum?
@@LoraineRyan It's just regular tubing - put 1 end into the liquid, suck hard at the other end to get the liquid as close to your lips as possible and then quickly put that end into another container to drain into.
@@LoraineRyan It's just a hose. You put one end bended at the bottom and suck out air on the other side (I do this just with my mouth, just taking care that I don't swallow anything 😂) and the pressure from the body of water inside the barrel will just push the water out. I use a short hose for this, it's around two meters. Hope that helps.
Thoughts about using pig manure? Composted, I assume? We have horses, rabbits, and chickens, so I'm familiar with all of those. We added pigs last summer, and I'm hoping to compost their manure, too. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use pig manure - coincidence or is there a reason why?
Thanks!
so many people say the same info that you should never use pig manure... but that is because they're talking about industrially farmed pigs that eat a super toxic diet and are pumped full of chemicals... if you are raising the pigs in a natural manner then yes absolutely you can use the pig manure just be sure to compost it well first with something like leaves or straw a high carbon source...
@@gardenlikeaviking Great, thanks! My plan was to compost all the pigs' bedding, manure and maybe grass clippings, etc, for at least a full year before using. We should be in good shape with plenty of manure compost around here between all the animals. Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is shovel poo, but it sure grows beautiful, healthy plants and tasty food. 😆
Beg to differ that sheep manure can be used fresh. It will and has burnt my plants in the past. It needs 3 to 6 months rotting prior to use imo.
Does anyone remember what chemical he has said in the live events that is sprayed on hay that doesn't break down for a long time? I found someone that grows part of their own organic hay and then the buy some organic alfalfa from Eastern Oregon and she claims its organic. She is giving away her "organic compost" that is made from her horses and I believe some type of cedar or pine chips they use in the stalls, but I wanted to look at that ingredient and see if its allowed to used on hay or alfalfa and still be labeled as organic before I try using it.
was it only grazon?
if its completely organic then no Grazon can be used... yes thats the main culprit... its also called 2,4-D... but just ask about any "broadleaf herbicide"... also take a small amount and plant some beans with it.... they'll sprout within a week and you can tell if its contaminated or not
Any idea if the whey as a result of making kefir can be used instead of starting with rice wash water for making LABS?
Kefir is a very different set of MO's than the rice wash... the rice wash is a very poor nutrient source and so the strains of Lactobacilli that survive in it are the very strongest and most robust strains... then when we add that to the rich nutrients of the milk they go crazy prolific!!
I got fresh chicken manuer the actual droppings can i use it or how can i get it ready for use faster??
the fastest method is to make a liquid fertilizer from it and then you can use it immediately because you will be diluting it 1 to 200 or more... make it in the fashion of the JADAM JLF that I've made a video about...
Thanks so much shalom beloved
So is it good to use chicken manure in my compost?
I have a lot of horse manure avaible, its around 3-6 months old has a beautiful colour to it. And i added it so far to my zuchinni, pumpkin, corn, tomato, cucumber beds. Could i also at a small layer to my salade / spinach bed and or bean beds? Im adviced not to use manure on those beds by many old farmers.
yes you absolutely can add that to the leafy green beds... just be sure its not contaminated with a broadleaf like Grazon.... take some of the manure and grow a few beans in it first and you'll see in just a couple weeks if the manure is bad or not... there is literally nothing that does not benefit from adding horse manure
Thank you, i will test the manure the good thing is i know where it comes from and what they are fed :). They are free range horses and dont get any additional feedings :)
I just found a source of horse manure grazed on unsprayed grass and grass hay!!!!!!!
is dove dung useable?
for sure!
How long does it take to get a de-worming chemical such as ivermectin out of the horses' system so the manure is safe to use in compost or the garden? We do not want to kill the earthworms.
