Guys the WETTING AGENT as discussed in this video is a separate solution we make and add to the mix along with water and this pesticide..... It helps the pesticide stick to the leaves of the plant and also helps to dissolve basically any soft bodied pest.... Its the combination of the two that makes this a very effective pesticide..... Here's the video on how to make it th-cam.com/video/yQeWHMelHVA/w-d-xo.html
Howdy sir. Love you videos and was nice to hear you are a fellow Hoosier. We moved to south central KY to become homesteaders and are trying to be organic as possible. I had a couple question about this mixture. I see you have a similar video as this, but in that one you used other plants that bugs don't attack in your garden. Nothing messes with my pepper plants, so would it be ok to add them to this mixture as well? Will this stuff work for squash bugs? Squash bugs started appearing late August and turned into an infestation quickly. Been a real hassle dealing with them. Looking for any methods possible to get them under control and help prevent them next year.
morning sir i am inspired by your videos so i have put tricodarma with molasses in 200 liters water drum so one day i brought little leaves moulds and put in it,so the water reacted with surfing .can i mix and spray leaf moldas and tricodarma??
Just lacto-ferment your sunchokes and the gas disappears. They're incredibly healthy, with many minerals as well as that inulin - a prebiotic. Alternatively, you can parboil them with lemon juice (I bet vinegar would work, as well). Start with small servings and work your way up. These tubers prevents people from starving! Plus the pretty flowers that bees adore!
Learn something new everyday! I did not know that a bay leaf would firm things up. (I put some in the first batch of fermented coleslaw and it was very crunchy)@@trumpetingangel
You have the best, concise, to the point teachings and instructions !!! I feel you truly want people to know this information and your not here to waste time and fill your videos with a bunch of “fluff” !!! So we’ll done, I truly appreciate it !!! Blessings
Hooked from the very first day I discovered your videos. The education is just so useful and very informative. I am watching you from Ghana West Africa 🇬🇭. I am planning on going into farming long term full-time (of which I have already started on the sides of my regular job as an Addiction Professional) Your teachings on natural ways of planting and farming is just so top notch and I hope it all works out good for me and by extension the large numbers of peasant farmers in my village and its surrounding areas. The cost of fertilizers are prohibitive and the farm lands are also suffering its brunt. Praying that this saves all of us and give us great returns in income for the work put in. Stay strong and blessed as always 🙏🏿 💖
Sure I am going to do so any time one comes up. For now, I am getting all that I can from what you have out here. Matter of fact, I am getting my District Agric Office and the Extension Officer assigned to my village to set up a WhatsApp platform where I am going to be sharing your videos. This is just the start. Many thanks once again for what you do here 🙏🏿💖
🙏 thank you so much Nate ! I so appreciate you! Went and bought the Jerusalem artichokes through your link… If I buy other things while I’m there I hope you get the credit? Have a great night and thanks again!
Found a little more info on the channel Self Sufficient Me. He refers to them as Fartichoke… the insulin fiber being responsible for that characteristic. He mentions it as being the ultimate survival planting and how it saved many households from starvation during Nazi occupation on account it can produce 2 million calories per acre. Puts everything to shame in that category. I just topped my first three plants to make the elixir yesterday . Phenomenal drought here in east central Kansas. Near zero rain and a 6 weeks of average daytime highs north of 95 degrees they need some help but are doing well. Will see how it helps my fall garden.
I’ve grown these for years and I had no idea. I just like them for the flowers. They do spread like CRAZY, though! Great survival food crop. Thank you for this video!
I used my slow cooker and made 4 qts. I have a white problem on my remaining tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and wanted them dead before frost hit. I never been able to stop them before. I mixed the JHS + JWA. I work 10 hours a day so not much time for spraying. After two treatments they are almost all gone so I did a third. usually after three days using normal sprays they are back worse then before. Thank you again.
Lots of good recipes for these on TH-cam. You might try some and reconsider if you like them as a food or not. I sure do. Glad to have yet another use for this terrific garden plant, tho. Thanks. for sharing. this.
Perfect! My wife planted JA a number of years ago and each year I thought "that's it, those things are going to be gone"!!! Glad I never got around to that as I'm going to harvest some soon to make this natural pesticide.
Ahhhh, just what I've been looking for. I basically made a combo spray last year using mint, rosemary etc and would spray when I saw bugs or their signs. It worked pretty good except for tomato worms. I'll see if I can get my hands on the artichokes and plant some. I also just introduced your channel to 2 friends and I think they're hooked. Many thanks brother! Stay positive everyone.
@@gardenlikeaviking In the absence of JDAM wetting agent would Dr. Bonners suffice? Also, in the interim could one simply make this solution with the tubers you get from Amazon? I haven't planted any J.Artichokes yet.
Oh my gosh Nate, you have done it again. Amazing! There is always a solution in a natural way in nature. Thank you again for another AWESOME video. So very grateful for your wisdom, and the spot-on demonstrations of how to make all your recipes. I will be sharing this video with family and friends too. ❤💚🌿🐝🌞🇿🇦
@@pampotgieter7611I have never tried to grow it in a pot but I do believe it will work... you can try it and let us know!!... I think it'll work just fine!

I wish I would have known about this when I was growing Jerusalem Artichokes! I declared it was a one time thing after I ate them! OMG the gas and gut pain! Known as a survival crop that no one would discover and the beautiful sunflower like flowers tempted me. Besides, I love growing "oddities" that no one else considers. But again, too painful! 😂 However, since this video of yours, I will reconsider just for the purpose you stated! ThanQ!
lol yes that is why I don't like eating them!... everyone talks about them being a survival food but seriously unless you were starving to death I don't see it!!
Thanks for the link to the tubers. I was going to get some once, but there were so many varieties that I could not decide if I was buying the right one.
How interesting! I recently received some tubers and as a precaution, put them in a pot in the house to over winter. I'm pretty good with ferments, ie sauerkraut, buch, kefir, yogurt, so am hoping the digestion will go more quietly than of the general population. But if not, I'll be supplying bees with some help, and get a natural pesticide out of the deal! Thanks for the info!
Grew Sunchokes this year on a lark…. Fartichokes some call them… anyways, glad to see an excellent use for them if they don’t agree with me as well. Great video!!
Im gonna do a little research, but, i think these are growing wild in abundance on my farm!! Looks like i might have a ton of useful Jerusalem artichoke.....acres of it!! Amazing! Ive admired the flowers for years, not knowing what they are!! 😂

Very good video. Thank you. Hate to look ignorant but what is the "wetting agent" you refer to? I thought it was the water you mix it in but then later in video what you were saying was as if there was something else. Thank you for your help!
Thanks so much Nate for the tid bit at the very end about infestations. I am dealing with so many grasshoppers right now just eating everything (not covered with netting) to the ground. I have some of this I made from Oleanders I am going to use.
Bought sunchokes last fall at the farm stand. Put them in basement level of unweatherized porch in soil & yogurt containers. Kept nicely. Red potatoes in same space got frozen (-15) but are still good to boil up for JMS! Looking forward to the nice visual screen these will provide.
yes thats right the JA can take being frozen solid no problem but the potatoes will die if exposed to even a single solid freeze they'll turn to mush!!
so which is best, the Jerusalem artichoke pesticide or the garlic and cayenne you made? btw, they are sweet and I love them raw or cooked like potatoes
Great info! Nate it would be awesome if you provided a recipe and tips in a printed format with each concoction you make. I would be willing to pay for it too! Love your channel
thank you for the suggestion my friend!!... I use recipes I've learned from so many different places... many of them can be found in the JADAM book but many of them I just learned from word of mouth over the years or trial and error myself... I'm making a website at the moment where these things may be in printable form
My JA’s are on my radar for a strip-out this year as they’re really creeping into other areas! A nickname here is Jerusalem Fartichokes 🤣🤣🤣 I like the taste, but become a family exile after eating them. I will definitely make this this season - thank you for more amazing information, Nate 🌱🙏🏻🌱
@@gardenlikeavikingTo eat them “quietly,” one has to very slowly get used to them. Try eating one bite the first day or two. Then move up to another bite for a few days. Then a whole, small choke. Then slowly continue to add more over time. Great food!!! ❤️
Thank you. Do you know any market gardeners/growers that primarily use jadam on a commercial level? Will be keen to check out bigger operations. Thanks once again.
I have been thinking about simmering stock from bones, and using that as a fertilizer, instead of putting bones in a jar with leaf mold and letting it ferment and break down the bones. I would think that by simmering and allowing the bones to decompose a bit, it would be better for the leaf mold and fermentation to take hold faster? I'm curious if you have experimented with this? I did a batch of Fish Hydrolysate like this, and made some stock to eat, but some went bad. I have some Beef Knuckles in the freezer I want to try this on, but I'm curious about your thoughts, and if you have experience with this. I'm glad to see you doing this with plants. Thank you!
I don’t have sunchokes but I’m going to try this with Pokeweed. It’s also called Poke salat. Nothing seems to touch it. Going to use the first boil and do the same method. I have it growing all over the place here!
yes actually Pokeweed is one of the other very effective herbal pesticides and its listed in the JADAM HERBAL book as a great plant to use... make in exactly the same way you saw in this video
I’ve been growing sunchoke in Florida. One of my plants was getting attacked by caterpillars. I noticed only the leaves were attacked, but nothing attacks the tubers. I’m pretty sure the poison is in the tubers. I’ll be fermenting a few this summer to see if it’s more digestible.
Thank you. Do you get blister beetles? Can this solution or anything else you know work to fend off the marauding hordes of blister beetles that come through all summer devouring everything? Generally, it seems I have to direct spray them to stop them., Or rather deter them. This video showed a very good use for the stock of Jerusalem artichokes I keep, just in case I need them someday. I have them surrounded with a little fence to keep the deer and the woodchucks away, but they do grow out from the fence every year. I am in a little Ozark Frost Valley in southern Missouri and very much enjoy your channel. Thank you.
I bought some tube bulbs and put them in a pot outside to grow them. The squirrels dug them up, took bites out of them, and left them in the sun and they dried out! I was so mad! Lol
My crop of Jerusalem Artichokes grew easily but never flowered this first year. I think I'll leave them alone this season for better establishment next year. Did you ever do that fogger video mentioned on this episode?
I dug up a handful of sunchokes this year for the first time. I fried them in a little oil, salt pepper and garlic. They were not so good. I'd love a better recipe if anyone has one. The rest of the ones molded and spoiled within about 4 days. Leave them in the ground, I guess. I was more excited about the shoots that they grow. They work as bamboo and are terrific for fire starters when dried.
SO MANY ?'s: Can this also be made in an instapot or slow cooker? Are the flower heads necessary for the recipe? I uprooted l quite a few new ones months ago and now they are dried in the compost, so can these be used or do they need to be fresh? Lastly, what is a wetting agent? Thank you! 💕🦋
Thanks Nate, mine went in the ground in February, if it looks a bit like a potato here in Ireland we'll eat it, it would need to taste really bad before we won't eat it, we're a bit Irish here.
@@ripbbl5053 I live in zone 9 USA and they start to sprout after frost. If you plant a tuber with no budding then expect about 1 month before above ground growth.
Hello. As ja is alepathic(?) does this solution affect the soil beneath where it is used in plants? Also, is it applied regularly or only during infestations? Thanks for info.
Could you add ohn to this? Also have you ever made faa with mackerel? In my experience the oils from the mackerel have been heavy enough to knock down soft bodied infestation’s…
Tobacco steeped in water is also a nice decision for those can't grow artichokes. Also great survival crop. Neighbors who are smokers will be lining up if supply chain becomes an issue. :P

I bought heirloom tobacco seeds with a high nicotine content to kill bugs. Would my idea not work?

Try making soup from the Jerusalem artichokes. Add fennel or fennel seeds that helps with the digesting. It's really delicious.

Generally, it seems I have to direct spray them to stop them., Or rather deter them. This video showed a very good use for the stock of Jerusalem artichokes I keep, just in case I need them someday. I have them surrounded with a little fence to keep the deer and the woodchucks away, but they do grow out from the fence every year. I am in a little Ozark Frost Valley in southern Missouri and very much enjoy your channel. Thank you.
I bought some tube bulbs and put them in a pot outside to grow them. The squirrels dug them up, took bites out of them, and left them in the sun and they dried out! I was so mad! Lol
lol they probably still grew !!
My crop of Jerusalem Artichokes grew easily but never flowered this first year. I think I'll leave them alone this season for better establishment next year. Did you ever do that fogger video mentioned on this episode?
Wonderful. Excellent idea!
My wetting agent is aloe
We have lots of neem trees on my property here in Ghana, does this work better than the neem?
Great video, as always, thank you!
I dug up a handful of sunchokes this year for the first time. I fried them in a little oil, salt pepper and garlic. They were not so good. I'd love a better recipe if anyone has one. The rest of the ones molded and spoiled within about 4 days. Leave them in the ground, I guess. I was more excited about the shoots that they grow. They work as bamboo and are terrific for fire starters when dried.
yes I didn't care for the either!... not when I already have such delicious potatoes!!
SO MANY ?'s: Can this also be made in an instapot or slow cooker? Are the flower heads necessary for the recipe? I uprooted l quite a few new ones months ago and now they are dried in the compost, so can these be used or do they need to be fresh? Lastly, what is a wetting agent? Thank you! 💕🦋
Thx, Nate!
Much needed video. Thanks you🤩
thank you for the support my friend!!
You will get better extraction by making fermented plant extract with molasses. Simply boiling the plant parts makes a very weak tea.
The JADAM system do away with molasses since it tends to be costly or even hard to find..
Good talk, cheers Nate
Outstanding.... thank you...
It lowers cholesterol-so a great fiber
Great video, instead of canning the mixture with the water bath, could it be put in the freezer and be kept frozen until needed
sure I don't see why not... my freezer real estate is far too valuable for this however lol
Amazing, thank you!!
Thanks Nate! Can I dig up my J. Chokes this spring without fresh stalks and greenery? And still make the treatment ...
yes the tubers contain the highest amount of the active ingredient
Awesome!
Thanks Nate, mine went in the ground in February, if it looks a bit like a potato here in Ireland we'll eat it, it would need to taste really bad before we won't eat it, we're a bit Irish here.
How long does it take to germinate/start growing above ground?
@@ripbbl5053 I'm no expert but it should appear in the warmer months, it's a very hardy plant to grow, I watched a few videos about it.
@@ripbbl5053 I live in zone 9 USA and they start to sprout after frost. If you plant a tuber with no budding then expect about 1 month before above ground growth.

Thank you. How deep should they be planted?
Hello. As ja is alepathic(?) does this solution affect the soil beneath where it is used in plants? Also, is it applied regularly or only during infestations? Thanks for info.
Thanks
Could you add ohn to this? Also have you ever made faa with mackerel? In my experience the oils from the mackerel have been heavy enough to knock down soft bodied infestation’s…
Tobacco steeped in water is also a nice decision for those can't grow artichokes. Also great survival crop. Neighbors who are smokers will be lining up if supply chain becomes an issue. :P
