All your principles for plant health apply exactly to the health of man and woman. All I would add is in reference to 'good' and 'bad' bacteria - it is a fallacy to still think of bacteria as good or bad. The role of bacteria is to support - they are helpers - only when the environment they live in becomes toxic or poisoned do they proliferate to the extent that we perceive them to be 'bad'. They are just doing their job. Love your videos, so pleased I found you - thank you - absolutely spot on!
@TheLastBlackJaguar hahaha. But remember, it's all about balance! If you throw off that nutritional balance, you'll also throw off that bacterial balance.
You are a natural teacher. I have been watching a lot of these garden videos for years now, and I must say you were designed to impart your wisdom onto others. Your delivery is so easy to digest and you’re leaving no questions unanswered.
Just now seeing this 4 months later my friend I deeply appreciate your feedback and positive energy!… just wanted to say thank you for the inspiring comment.
Da Vinci said “Mother nature never breaks her own rules”. This is such a fantastic video. I’ve watched it about 3 times. Now I understand why my grandmother always told us to pick from the tree and leave the apples where they fall. 😊
@@stepper8584 Me too. My friend whos property I maintain as of last year, has an apple tree, and I raided every single aplle on the ground for my big composter I built last year. Now I feel dumb over it. So I am going to give the tree all my lovin this year, compost, fish hydrolysate, and pile the leaves around the base so the next apples have somewhere to immediately start decomposing. My friend said he wants to fix the tree again, and return it to a fruit maker. He knows the pruning aspect that I dont know about, but I will be its nutritionist. Peace!🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻🏭✨💖🙏🌞
@@BigWesLawns don't feel too bad, i always collect and compost the fruit. The reason being fungal infections are pretty common and if you don't remove affected fruit, also on the ground, it can spread further and seriously deminish the output of the tree and the rotting fruit also attracts tons of yellow jackets where i live. Even when composting the fruit, it can still spread spores if in the vicinity of a tree. The best solution would be to bury the fruit deep and it will rot and act as a fertilizer without the risks of contamination
We are so blessed we have a forest of rotting leaves. A lot of it is already composted. We have our first garden ever. So we are not expecting much this year. My husband just turned 80 and I am not far behind. We have lived in NC for two years this spring. So still have a lot to learn! We put up a greenhouse and have a bunch of huge pots all planted with Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers, and Sweet Potatoes ... I want to put them outside but we are going to start building our raised beds this summer and in the fall.
Helen and Scot Neering did great work farming in New England for many years, despite Scot's advanced age. They were an inspiration to me even during my youth. Now that i'm old, their success is all the more of an encouragement.
Whole heap of work, when stinging nettles contain every nutrient and mineral that _any_ plant needs, just stored there in _one_ single plant! Been fermenting them every year for decades. Just over five decades, that's over half a century, and it's never failed me once. The most reviled, yet vastly underestimated plant on the entire planet. Food, drink, medicine, material and fertiliser under people's very noses and they don't even give it a second glance. Everything else I use to bulk up, as organic matter, the growing medium, but that ferment is the spark giving plants the zest for life. They look different, act different, smell different. It's garden voodoo. 😁 May your fingers stay green.

When mangos fall from the tree (and are not edible) I bury them right around the tree because I noticed good much better the soil looked under the trees as opposed to the rest of the yard. I guess I was doing the right thing.
@fanceeist 1 yr later, this peach tree had over 1,000 peaches on it. I had to thin a ton out, but it's going strong. I can't say it's all from squishing them into the soil but I'd say it definitely helped.
It’s amazing how all of this was designed, from the microscopic building blocks coming together making our food and then returning to microscopic building blocks to do it again. This is the kind of thing that has convinced me that there is intelligent design. Have a great day. 🙏🏻
@@stevemiller8952 the God and Father of Jesus did all the work. John 17:3, John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12 show us Jesus has a God who is Creator of all, instead of what is taught in most churches due to tradition.
@@bardowesselius4121 Colossians 1:12-17 King James Version 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
@@stevemiller8952 the question in that passage in verse 16 is to whom the 'him' refers to. Jesus or God the Father... It is ultimately God the Father working through Jesus and creating everything for and because of His Son. This passage is no proof Jesus is the Creator of the world. It is God the Father reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus. And since the risen Christ still has a God in Revelation 3:12, he can never be God the Creator.
This is the best information anyone could get on plants it was explained in the most simple way that it took me 2 years to figure this out and it was just explained in less than 5 min. I wish I knew this 2 years ago. Subbed and turned on that notification.👍🏻
How am I gonna have the time to watch all your videos, I can't stop! You're an inspiration, love the broad plant and gardening knowledge you share, thank you!
I love your passion for explaining this concept which is so obvious that we’ve missed it entirely. I’ve followed a ton of how to’s and this is brilliant! I’ve noted to myself many times how nature manages to grow things perfectly, so thank you for stating the obvious. ❤️
You are absolute correct in stating a healthy plant wards off most insects and diseases. I just harvested 10 different types of tomato plants. People are amazed how beautiful the plants are and the quality of the fruit. Yes, I also make my own compost and fertilizer. With 40 years of gardening the simpler the better. Observing nature is the best teacher.
This channel is gold. This guy just did all the hard work of understanding plants at a detailed scientific level and is translating it in laymen's terms.
Thank you for all the great videos! I purchased some barrels two months ago and have filled some with the leaf mold/ fish prep, and started three JLF barrels. Apart from that I have also two stations for Food waste that I mix with leaf mold and some manures and carbon stuff like last winters leaves and such... not to mention the Calcium prep, the Rice water/milk prep for cheese and Lactic acids, and the Urea...there are a lot of videos on Urine usage for different things on the Garden/ farm scene...your videos have gotten me so into this stuff that know I am looking into Biodynamics, which works on the same basic principle of aging the compost, whatever it is, and having nature just do her thing! this sure beats running to the store and trying so many different brands of specialized mixes, and the savings that has emerged... Thanks again!
@@stephenbeck6410 so I live in North Carolina, looked online line for used Pickle barrels...they are used to transprt Pickes in Brine...the same black ones that the Viking showed in his video..
mine is 10yrs old now, I just keep topping up water, vegetation, bit of horse manure and leaf litter from our rainforest. its all free and no plastic bags Yay.. thanks for sharing your vids 👍
Thanks Nate, perfect timing I just ordered 75 ltr drums with lids, its go big or go home here on Gods emerald isle, my veg I planted the other week is coming on well, going to get rid of the other stuff soon when drums arrive and get this stuff brewing, there's a lot of untouched forests here where I live the smell when you walk through them is like heaven and after a damp night the leaf mould is white and smells amazing, the sphagnum moss is starting to erupt into bright green everywhere, I'd love to show you with some photos.
Suddenly I feel so stupid right now. Why didn't I think of this? It's so simple and so logical. It's simply growing food using mother nature's ways. Thank you sooooo much for making this brilliant video. I shall follow your instructions. :) See me smiling? I'll start in the morning. joyce
Interesting view point on nature's way. I have recently found that cucumbers are a plant saver. I grow weed and any sick plants or problems I make a cucumber leachate and the plants get better. Seaweed and cucumbers are my go to for fixing problems. I always have a container with water to make a soup of whatever is in season as I love to forage for free stuff. Comfrey, nettles, dandelions and any fruits. Keeps me in tune to the seasons. Massive ragwort problem in my area; but the leaf mould from them is amazing.
I clicked on this video and was sitting here dreading what I was about to hear, then realizing you were going the direction of Jadam, I got so excited when I finally heard you say it! I was so fortunate to have a close friend turn me on to this method in my first season of gardening. Bless you for all you do; you’ve gained a new subscriber!
welcome my friend!!... so glad to hear you are starting on the right path from the very beginning!!... let me know if you have any video idea suggestions along your journey
Howdy Nate from East Tennessee' I'm 70+ an learning alot of things from U I Thx U very much sweetheart your a very good Teacher. Love ya. Nanna Rebecca. ❤
FYI. For fruit trees. Take the prematurely fallen fruit and stick it in a bucket of water. Many times it falls early cuz it has worms. When the worms come out they will drown. Then the fruit water can safely be dumped back out around the tree. Found out about the worms from Stephan but found out about the drowned worms on accident 😂
@@HaloHighlightz composting worms and in general earth worms are different than fruit worm. Don’t want to chance them crawling into the ground after and re emerging onto other fruit trees in my yard in the spring
I'm really enjoying making the fertilizers, I have my buckets ready for the fish & leaf mold. I've made a bucket of potash. I'm working on getting jars for the hydrolysate, lactic acid and making cheese. Man, you've turned my world right around.
Thanks you much. On a tight budget. Small garden. Going to watch how you apply. Maybe the bucket we have will be enough. We have plenty of leaf mold always making compost so we can top dress plants if need be. However the fertilizer is much easier for us in our 70's.
Thanks Nate You have opened up a completely differently way of feeding my vegetable plants. This is something I will have to experiment with. I want to grow the best, hardiest, plants that I can.
Excellent advice! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort to make your videos. You may or may not recall, but I posted another comment on a different video of yours about having nutritionally lacking soil and trying to prep it for eventual topsoil and grass seed. Your recommendation to me was to use a cover crop. I tried planting buckwheat, but the hot, dry summer and my inability to keep the seeds moist prevented any hopes of germination. Instead, I let the weeds grow and serve as a cover crop of sorts. I have also put together some JADAM fertilizer using the blades of weeds that were growing heartily. I tried that fertilizer on some young trees I was trying to help endure the summer and I noticed new leaves growing very shortly after! So, it appears the fertilizer works very well based on the rapid response of the trees to the fertilizer (I read somewhere that high nitrogen fertilizer prompts new growth in trees, and that lots of water is required thereafter, which is why it’s generally better to fertilize trees in the spring and fall). I dedicated a fair amount of time and water making sure the trees did well over the summer, but otherwise I sat back in amazement at how the weeds continued to thrive despite no water other than the very rare drizzle. You’re not kidding about nature taking care of itself! While my neighbors’ lawns are dead/dying, my yard (albeit covered with weeds) is lush green. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work! I really appreciate it!
depending on where you live you can plant winter wheat or winter rye and it will grow all winter then shade out the other weeds as it grows very prolific in the spring time... the thing with weeds cover crop is you have to make sure they don't germinate next year when you try to use the land!!
@@gardenlikeaviking so when i make these barrels and i put the garden leftovers and plants like string bean plants, so it is ok to add potato plants as well? i was going to throw it out, good to know. i have great looking potato plants above ground, but not much growth below ground, thanks
Desert? Use cowpeas and alfalfa. Trust me on this! Just keep their root zone moist with drip irrigation and they will repay you 10 fold. They thrive in desert sun.
Right on ! Got it ready to rock this 💪 😎 appreciate the love you give and the teaching ! You dig ! I have the chicken poop,the natural with the weeds, the roots, insect pest control the egg shells calcium. And started a leaf mold pile thank again 🙏 👏 😀
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You introduced me to KNF and JADAM and now I can't get enough of it! I really believe this is the way to the future. I live in a northern climate and I'm planning on documenting my journey with KNF.
Thank U SO MUCH 4 sharing NATE, I live in the city now and because of this I am looking forward to do hidroponic tomatoes and peppers 4 a start, I once read in an English book wrote by Robert Owen " Revolution in the mind & practice of the human being " that the real evolution of mankind would start in the countryside with autosuficient comunities , I most appreciatte your sharing so much rich knoledge, Best regards from PERÚ
I’m so glad i found your channel. Everything you’re saying makes absolute sense. An old chinese guy told me about jadam, and after searching for ages I found this channel and it’s the most basic explanation of the process. Awesome
Three week ago, I suddenly have the urge to buried my weeds such as dandelions and garden waste in a bucket of water. Wow, today I saw your video. Now I know I am doing the right thing. Thanks so much
Wow! So many questions answered in just this video! I am all in a hurry to make a few buckets for my different crops. I somehow like the idea of giving each type its own food. So, here I go😊😊😊
@@gardenlikeavikingmy husband’s soon going to hate you for giving me more ideas of what could I possibly need more buckets for. I’m so sorry, but he just is a bit OCD for my buckets being all over the place. 😂 But thank you for making these videos. I’ve been watching TH-cam videos about gardening and homesteading for 4+ years now, so kind of strange you never popped up on my recommended videos. But thank God I noticed you today. I’ve been binge watching and taking notes every time I had available at work today. I’m sharing all of your amazing work with my sister. Now I’ll be getting yelled at when my 6 year old grandson starts peeing on my compost pile buckets. But he’s the only male on the house that’s totally drug/alcohol free that knows how to pee on command in a small space. Hope the neighbors aren’t peeking out back 😂.
I’m loving the information you provide. I’m on very depleted over farmed lands that I’m in the process of reviving and can’t wait to get started with your methods. Thanks again
thank you my friend I suggest starting with cover crops as that is the best way to get the life back into the soil... ideally do the Green Manure method with them for the first several years before moving to the no till type systems because that old farm soil you have is no doubt compacted and starved
1 cup of your own pee (if you take absolutely no medicine) to a gallon of water for seedlings, 2 cups to one gallon for blooms. Water the soil, not the plants and leaves. Easy Peesy
Thanks, I started to see this same understanding last spring. So I collected all the plants around, which looked structurally similar as plants I was about to grow. I chopped them as small particles as I could and put them to water. To make bacteria proces quicker I added some compost soil and sugary rotting fruits…and started to use it straight ahead, better than plain water anyway. Plants that I’ve been giving that are thriving. If I have a break, plain watering, they start to show signs of deficienies in a week.
Thanks for another clear and concise video. I have been doing the JADAM and KNF thing for a few years. Working on getting fertigation working. Just added a urea bucket and fish bucket to go along with the grasses and everything else buckets.
I love your ideas, putting the excess back into the soil to regenerate more and better plant growth. It makes so much sense to me. We were brought up to choose ourselves how much we want to eat, and whatever was left was used to replenish our garden. And all seemed good and well. In contrast to that, it was perhaps amusing to see another lot, become very upset, accusatory and angry when e.g. an apple was found to be rotting. They were shouting that good food was being wasted, and therefore apples should not be purchased anymore! to stop food wastage. Then someone would be told they had to eat the apple even though it was not good, as they needed to be taught not to let food go off. I wondered why the old woman in particular didnt understand that the tree had produced more fruit than would be eaten by humans, and that some of the fruit would go through the rotting and recycle processes as plant fertilizer in an almost perfect balance, and no one needed to live feeling like a bad person just because an apple or an orange began decaying. She could have treated the left over apple as treasure for her garden!.
This is a God sent … I always spend so much money on trying to keep nutrition in the soil nothing is working.. I will try the end of this season. Seems like everything returns back to Nature and the way God makes things. Thanks a bunch!!!!
Just like the acorn contains the makings of the whole oak tree. As above so below. Nature is wonderful. We are being so far removed from our natural way of being by the 'controllers' and their puppet politicians that the onus is on every one of us to be the change we want to see. I love your videos Nate. Thank you 😊 🙏
Seeds are miracles and farmers are miracle workers. That said, trees reach down their roots the farthest of all plants. I already do this fermenting tree leaves. I also raise earthworms and use their "castings" dissolved in water to feed my edible plants. I grow 100% in wicking tubs.
dude in the rabbet holes of gardening i have gone down in the last mo your first person to say this and make it easy to follow this will be my first year for family garden and am zone 6 i think , just got 1 more subsctber ty
New sub here from 🇨🇦👋 I'm quickly becoming a compost nerd, lol as I have expanded from producing small quantities of anaerobic compost from last year indoors, to now owning & collecting from a vermicomposter kept in my bsmt, as well as a rotating outdoor composter! So your channel is another new facet of composting and creating your own, so I will be diving into your content! Many Thanks!👏👌 🤩
I got an experiment going in a 5 gallon bucket. No leaf mold yet, but I tossed in a bunch of weeds, spent rejuvelac seeds, spent yerba mate leaves, a bunch of squash bugs along with the delicata plant they ruined, and most recently some lacto fermented pickles that turned out way too mushy. I might try it on some less important plants first...
@@gardenlikeaviking This was just prior to your pickle video, so no bay leaves. But they were store bought English cucumbers that come plastic wrapped, which may have contributed to the mushy texture. But mostly, I think it was because I weighed them down with a big spring I got from a Ball mason jar fermenting kit. The pickle spears were crushed to about an inch tall after a day of fermenting. Lessons learned!
Hi NATE, I’m sad I didn’t start this last fall I was waiting to find good barrels at a great price I finally found them a few months ago and started making the chicken manure with the leaf mold and soon I’ll be starting the grass clippings fertilizer, this is so exciting and fun I’ve always been proud of my garden but I know with your advice this is going to be the best year so far . Thanks my friend 👍🌞🙏🏼❤️
I'm fairly new to your channel and have 1 season of....learning growing behind me. Your explanations are excellent and your methods and recipes are perfect for the way I think and want to do my growing. I do have a barrel of this composting tea brewing for Spring. I will add some leaf mold today. I'm in 7a/b central Arkansas. Thank you!
...what a shame people all over the world are screaming about shortages of fertilizer. I learned this from David the Good’s channel (he calls it “Fetid Swamp Water). I’m thrilled to have found this channel suggestion this morning and I subscribed immediately...(you can also make a decent fertilizer with human urine & wood ash).
Thanks 👍I love it so simple and I'm going to use grass clippings to help me make a few meadows with grass and meadow plants for my chickens...then use their manure in the meadow and plant grains for them to eat and use their clippings and manures to enrich the soil ...have a lot of rocks and hardwood tree trees that I've thinned out and planted meadow grass and herbs...and flowers...lol the chickens though are enjoying the new sprouts from the meadow already so hopefully in a few years it will be healthy meadow and soil so I can plant island of edibles for me too ..have hickory nuts and peaches and stinging nettle.. and all heal and mustards...and now have a solid plan to have them thriving!.PS I also plant Dutch clover that naturally fixes nitrogen from the air to it's roots bees and poliator's love the flowers to and it grows on runner roots. So easy to then seed with grass and meadow plants and now I have the perfect way to make fertilizer for my property and plants to be healthy and thrive!
Question for ya Nate: I see you're throwing peppers away. Do you ever save your seeds to replant? You're the dang best go-to for gardening tips. So brilliant, down to earth, and easy on the eyes!
actually I'm not throwing them away I'm recycling them into fertilizer for next years peppers! lol... and pepper seeds are one of the few seeds I buy every year because they cross pollinate with each other very easily and the peppers you plant next year will have very different properties than the ones you saved seeds from if you are growing more than one type of pepper.... easy on the eyes.... lol
It’s all so wonderful! Great content, easy to understand and execute. Am excited to try this out. I have a bucket of chicken poo and leaf mold out fermenting in garden and calcium acetate waiting to finish bubbling thanks to you. Can’t wait to put this knowledge to use. Thanks for sharing what you know!
Thanks I am using 6 gallon food grade buckets with screw on lids for my garden. Where do you get the larger barrels with screw on lid? I want my son-in-law to try it on a field? Living next to chemical farming I had to learn to heal my gut and now I’m learning to heal the soil. Good bugs and bad bugs :-) Micro greens is what helped me the most. I look forward to your video on how to store it through the winter I am in Northwest corner of Kansas so it freezes hard.
I'm in southeast Nebraska and I've experienced -0 - -40°F for WEEKS. Would think putting the barrel in the ground and leaving lid above grade covered with 6" mulch (like we do for parsnips/etc) or an insulated box could keep from freezing. Ferment may be halted (or slowed). Know quite a few people who have sunk old chest freezers to grade and use for root cellars. Potatoes keep throughout the winter.
Just came here from this morning's Pinball video. Think I will be spending lots of time binge watching your older videos. So happy to have found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God Bless
Question..... since this process allows for Facultative and Strict Anaerobes to proliferate the barrels would the introduction to soil through a soil drench mean that (assuming that your soil is predominantly aerobic) these Strict Anaerobes will die immediately through the introduction of oxygen and the nutrients stored within them become immediately available to the plant? Or is this simply how this fertilizer works in general? 😅 Cheers from PA, Zone 6B! ✌️🌱
Oh wow, I just came to check you out because I saw you on Pinballs channel and you seemed very knowledgeable. I’m only five minutes in and I’m so excited I found you. The love you have for the land and your passion for what you do just pours out of you and it is wonderful. Naturally I have subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I was considering making 6 diffrent barrels one for each group of vegetables that i grow. So one for legumes - nightshades - chicories - chenopods - brassicas and alliums. Then ill also make a barrel from nettles for young plants and one from bocking 14 comfrey. So 8 barrels should do fine i hope :) not sure how long the ingredients need to stay in tho, was considering a year for the diffrent groups and 4 weeks or so for nettles and comfrey.
thats a fantastic idea and ideal for maximum plant nutrition.... however I would either add an additional barrel for the fish fertilizer or replace probably the chicories barrel with fish as the fish is of utmost value to the plants and soil...

When mangos fall from the tree (and are not edible) I bury them right around the tree because I noticed good much better the soil looked under the trees as opposed to the rest of the yard. I guess I was doing the right thing.
@fanceeist 1 yr later, this peach tree had over 1,000 peaches on it. I had to thin a ton out, but it's going strong. I can't say it's all from squishing them into the soil but I'd say it definitely helped.

It’s amazing how all of this was designed, from the microscopic building blocks coming together making our food and then returning to microscopic building blocks to do it again. This is the kind of thing that has convinced me that there is intelligent design. Have a great day. 🙏🏻
I know. And from what we eat we grow fingernails, hair, etc. and for the next generation, eggs etc .
Yes the intelligent design has a name and His name is JESUS
@@stevemiller8952 the God and Father of Jesus did all the work. John 17:3, John 20:17 and Revelation 3:12 show us Jesus has a God who is Creator of all, instead of what is taught in most churches due to tradition.
@@bardowesselius4121 Colossians 1:12-17
King James Version
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
@@stevemiller8952 the question in that passage in verse 16 is to whom the 'him' refers to. Jesus or God the Father... It is ultimately God the Father working through Jesus and creating everything for and because of His Son. This passage is no proof Jesus is the Creator of the world. It is God the Father reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus. And since the risen Christ still has a God in Revelation 3:12, he can never be God the Creator.

How am I gonna have the time to watch all your videos, I can't stop! You're an inspiration, love the broad plant and gardening knowledge you share, thank you!
😁 very COOL!!!
YES!!!
I just discovered him!!! He IS THE BOMB DIGGITY, for sure!!! WoW, Beautiful Light of Source🕊️
I love your passion for explaining this concept which is so obvious that we’ve missed it entirely. I’ve followed a ton of how to’s and this is brilliant! I’ve noted to myself many times how nature manages to grow things perfectly, so thank you for stating the obvious. ❤️
About three sentences in, and I knew I’d love your channel. I’ll definitely be implementing this! Thank you!
You are absolute correct in stating a healthy plant wards off most insects and diseases. I just harvested 10 different types of tomato plants. People are amazed how beautiful the plants are and the quality of the fruit. Yes, I also make my own compost and fertilizer. With 40 years of gardening the simpler the better. Observing nature is the best teacher.
This channel is gold. This guy just did all the hard work of understanding plants at a detailed scientific level and is translating it in laymen's terms.
You are seriously a gift to our planet, much needed gift. Thanks very much. Much love.
Thank you for all the great videos! I purchased some barrels two months ago and have filled some with the leaf mold/ fish prep, and started three JLF barrels. Apart from that I have also two stations for Food waste that I mix with leaf mold and some manures and carbon stuff like last winters leaves and such... not to mention the Calcium prep, the Rice water/milk prep for cheese and Lactic acids, and the Urea...there are a lot of videos on Urine usage for different things on the Garden/ farm scene...your videos have gotten me so into this stuff that know I am looking into Biodynamics, which works on the same basic principle of aging the compost, whatever it is, and having nature just do her thing! this sure beats running to the store and trying so many different brands of specialized mixes, and the savings that has emerged... Thanks again!
Where did you get your barrels?
@@stephenbeck6410 so I live in North Carolina, looked online line for used Pickle barrels...they are used to transprt Pickes in Brine...the same black ones that the Viking showed in his video..

mine is 10yrs old now, I just keep topping up water, vegetation, bit of horse manure and leaf litter from our rainforest. its all free and no plastic bags Yay.. thanks for sharing your vids 👍
Thanks Nate, perfect timing I just ordered 75 ltr drums with lids, its go big or go home here on Gods emerald isle, my veg I planted the other week is coming on well, going to get rid of the other stuff soon when drums arrive and get this stuff brewing, there's a lot of untouched forests here where I live the smell when you walk through them is like heaven and after a damp night the leaf mould is white and smells amazing, the sphagnum moss is starting to erupt into bright green everywhere, I'd love to show you with some photos.
wow thats a beautiful picture in my mind thank you and thats right Grow Big or Go Home! lol
Suddenly I feel so stupid right now. Why didn't I think of this? It's so simple and so logical. It's simply growing food using mother nature's ways. Thank you sooooo much for making this brilliant video. I shall follow your instructions. :) See me smiling? I'll start in the morning.
joyce
Interesting view point on nature's way. I have recently found that cucumbers are a plant saver. I grow weed and any sick plants or problems I make a cucumber leachate and the plants get better. Seaweed and cucumbers are my go to for fixing problems. I always have a container with water to make a soup of whatever is in season as I love to forage for free stuff. Comfrey, nettles, dandelions and any fruits. Keeps me in tune to the seasons. Massive ragwort problem in my area; but the leaf mould from them is amazing.
This is the more useful gardening channel on TH-cam .
Sir , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for us .
I am from Sri Lanka .
I clicked on this video and was sitting here dreading what I was about to hear, then realizing you were going the direction of Jadam, I got so excited when I finally heard you say it! I was so fortunate to have a close friend turn me on to this method in my first season of gardening. Bless you for all you do; you’ve gained a new subscriber!
welcome my friend!!... so glad to hear you are starting on the right path from the very beginning!!... let me know if you have any video idea suggestions along your journey
Howdy Nate from East Tennessee' I'm 70+ an learning alot of things from U I Thx U very much sweetheart your a very good Teacher. Love ya. Nanna Rebecca. ❤
hello Nanna Rebecca my friend I'm happy you are here!
Great!! And totally logical. Thanks for your energy and intelligence!
Thanks! Looks like I'm growing a huge crop of buckets 😃
lol I know exactly what you mean!!... thats why I only do black buckets now so they kind of disappear into the garden scape!
Thank you for this video. Leaf mold video will be greatly appreciated!
thank you again for your support my friend!!
FYI. For fruit trees. Take the prematurely fallen fruit and stick it in a bucket of water. Many times it falls early cuz it has worms. When the worms come out they will drown. Then the fruit water can safely be dumped back out around the tree. Found out about the worms from Stephan but found out about the drowned worms on accident 😂
@@miken1579 beneficial worms are earth worms not fruit worms. fruit worms are bad
@@miken1579 yes thats true dont kill the worms its better alive it produces more proteins in the soil
Or if you can a compost bin, but the fruit there and the worms can make castings which is a great addendum
@@HaloHighlightz composting worms and in general earth worms are different than fruit worm. Don’t want to chance them crawling into the ground after and re emerging onto other fruit trees in my yard in the spring
Directions start 3:30
Great info! It makes so much sense! Thanks!
I'm really enjoying making the fertilizers, I have my buckets ready for the fish & leaf mold. I've made a bucket of potash. I'm working on getting jars for the hydrolysate, lactic acid and making cheese. Man, you've turned my world right around.
I know its so enthralling especially when you can see what incredible effect it all has on the food you grow!
One fertilizer to rule them all! 😂👍🏽
Thanks you much. On a tight budget. Small garden. Going to watch how you apply. Maybe the bucket we have will be enough. We have plenty of leaf mold always making compost so we can top dress plants if need be. However the fertilizer is much easier for us in our 70's.
For over 30 years I have been raking my fall leaves over my garden and rototilling them into the garden in the spring just like my father did.
Thanks Nate You have opened up a completely differently way of feeding my vegetable plants. This is something I will have to experiment with. I want to grow the best, hardiest, plants that I can.
Just got a cabin in the middle of the forest. Discovered your channel today and can't stop watching. So inspirational. Thx!// Sweden
Excellent advice! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort to make your videos. You may or may not recall, but I posted another comment on a different video of yours about having nutritionally lacking soil and trying to prep it for eventual topsoil and grass seed. Your recommendation to me was to use a cover crop. I tried planting buckwheat, but the hot, dry summer and my inability to keep the seeds moist prevented any hopes of germination. Instead, I let the weeds grow and serve as a cover crop of sorts. I have also put together some JADAM fertilizer using the blades of weeds that were growing heartily. I tried that fertilizer on some young trees I was trying to help endure the summer and I noticed new leaves growing very shortly after! So, it appears the fertilizer works very well based on the rapid response of the trees to the fertilizer (I read somewhere that high nitrogen fertilizer prompts new growth in trees, and that lots of water is required thereafter, which is why it’s generally better to fertilize trees in the spring and fall). I dedicated a fair amount of time and water making sure the trees did well over the summer, but otherwise I sat back in amazement at how the weeds continued to thrive despite no water other than the very rare drizzle. You’re not kidding about nature taking care of itself! While my neighbors’ lawns are dead/dying, my yard (albeit covered with weeds) is lush green. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work! I really appreciate it!
depending on where you live you can plant winter wheat or winter rye and it will grow all winter then shade out the other weeds as it grows very prolific in the spring time... the thing with weeds cover crop is you have to make sure they don't germinate next year when you try to use the land!!
@@gardenlikeaviking so when i make these barrels and i put the garden leftovers and plants like string bean plants, so it is ok to add potato plants as well? i was going to throw it out, good to know. i have great looking potato plants above ground, but not much growth below ground, thanks
Have you tried mulching the trees?
Desert? Use cowpeas and alfalfa. Trust me on this! Just keep their root zone moist with drip irrigation and they will repay you 10 fold. They thrive in desert sun.
Yearning for that freeze preperation tip as I live in the North UK......can get a bit chilly
A family member uses this method in his very successful garden. It’s time for me to get up to speed and reap the same great results. Thank you !
Right on ! Got it ready to rock this 💪 😎 appreciate the love you give and the teaching ! You dig ! I have the chicken poop,the natural with the weeds, the roots, insect pest control the egg shells calcium. And started a leaf mold pile thank again 🙏 👏 😀
I agree that stuff works great your plants will grow abundantly
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You introduced me to KNF and JADAM and now I can't get enough of it! I really believe this is the way to the future. I live in a northern climate and I'm planning on documenting my journey with KNF.

Three week ago, I suddenly have the urge to buried my weeds such as dandelions and garden waste in a bucket of water. Wow, today I saw your video. Now I know I am doing the right thing. Thanks so much
Wow! So many questions answered in just this video! I am all in a hurry to make a few buckets for my different crops. I somehow like the idea of giving each type its own food. So, here I go😊😊😊
yes that will give you the finest results making each crop their own!

That's funny I ordered some yesterday.
@@gardenlikeavikingmy husband’s soon going to hate you for giving me more ideas of what could I possibly need more buckets for. I’m so sorry, but he just is a bit OCD for my buckets being all over the place. 😂
But thank you for making these videos. I’ve been watching TH-cam videos about gardening and homesteading for 4+ years now, so kind of strange you never popped up on my recommended videos. But thank God I noticed you today. I’ve been binge watching and taking notes every time I had available at work today. I’m sharing all of your amazing work with my sister. Now I’ll be getting yelled at when my 6 year old grandson starts peeing on my compost pile buckets. But he’s the only male on the house that’s totally drug/alcohol free that knows how to pee on command in a small space. Hope the neighbors aren’t peeking out back 😂.
I ordered camo buckets. Lol. Just couldnt put home depot orange in the garden 😅
I’m loving the information you provide. I’m on very depleted over farmed lands that I’m in the process of reviving and can’t wait to get started with your methods. Thanks again
thank you my friend I suggest starting with cover crops as that is the best way to get the life back into the soil... ideally do the Green Manure method with them for the first several years before moving to the no till type systems because that old farm soil you have is no doubt compacted and starved
1 cup of your own pee (if you take absolutely no medicine) to a gallon of water for seedlings, 2 cups to one gallon for blooms. Water the soil, not the plants and leaves. Easy Peesy
for blooming you want less nitrogen i think
How do you "shut off" at 1 cup?
EASY PEE SY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you. Watching from Japan. Trying to learn to keep my micro garden alive and thriving. I want the most yield for my efforts. I appreciate you. ❤🎉
Thanks, I started to see this same understanding last spring.
So I collected all the plants around, which looked structurally similar as plants I was about to grow. I chopped them as small particles as I could and put them to water. To make bacteria proces quicker I added some compost soil and sugary rotting fruits…and started to use it straight ahead, better than plain water anyway. Plants that I’ve been giving that are thriving. If I have a break, plain watering, they start to show signs of deficienies in a week.
You are now the only garden video content created I follow for gardening tips.
Thanks for another clear and concise video. I have been doing the JADAM and KNF thing for a few years. Working on getting fertigation working. Just added a urea bucket and fish bucket to go along with the grasses and everything else buckets.

I love your ideas, putting the excess back into the soil to regenerate more and better plant growth. It makes so much sense to me.
We were brought up to choose ourselves how much we want to eat, and whatever was left was used to replenish our garden. And all seemed good and well.
In contrast to that, it was perhaps amusing to see another lot, become very upset, accusatory and angry when e.g. an apple was found to be rotting. They were shouting that good food was being wasted, and therefore apples should not be purchased anymore! to stop food wastage. Then someone would be told they had to eat the apple even though it was not good, as they needed to be taught not to let food go off.
I wondered why the old woman in particular didnt understand that the tree had produced more fruit than would be eaten by humans, and that some of the fruit would go through the rotting and recycle processes as plant fertilizer in an almost perfect balance, and no one needed to live feeling like a bad person just because an apple or an orange began decaying. She could have treated the left over apple as treasure for her garden!.
this is a wonderful observation my friend thank you for sharing!!
This is a God sent … I always spend so much money on trying to keep nutrition in the soil nothing is working.. I will try the end of this season. Seems like everything returns back to Nature and the way God makes things. Thanks a bunch!!!!
Just like the acorn contains the makings of the whole oak tree. As above so below. Nature is wonderful. We are being so far removed from our natural way of being by the 'controllers' and their puppet politicians that the onus is on every one of us to be the change we want to see. I love your videos Nate. Thank you 😊 🙏
very well said my friend thank you!
makes so much sense... Abundance as the original design of nature.
Great stuff Nate. Been feeding with jadam and the plants love it
Seeds are miracles and farmers are miracle workers.
That said, trees reach down their roots the farthest of all plants. I already do this fermenting tree leaves. I also raise earthworms and use their "castings" dissolved in water to feed my edible plants. I grow 100% in wicking tubs.
Intelligent Design in nature points to an Intelligent Designer of Nature.
GREATEST INTRODUCTION EVER.....LOOK AT NATURE THE MASTER GARDENER!!!!

Thank You for the 411. Looking forward to stirring up a batch 4 spring.👩🏻🌾
I got an experiment going in a 5 gallon bucket. No leaf mold yet, but I tossed in a bunch of weeds, spent rejuvelac seeds, spent yerba mate leaves, a bunch of squash bugs along with the delicata plant they ruined, and most recently some lacto fermented pickles that turned out way too mushy. I might try it on some less important plants first...
Good ideas. Doing your own experiments is so amazing.
did you place enough bay leaves in the pickles?... that helps keep them firm... mine are so crunchy you can hear it from 10 feet away
@@gardenlikeaviking This was just prior to your pickle video, so no bay leaves. But they were store bought English cucumbers that come plastic wrapped, which may have contributed to the mushy texture. But mostly, I think it was because I weighed them down with a big spring I got from a Ball mason jar fermenting kit. The pickle spears were crushed to about an inch tall after a day of fermenting. Lessons learned!
I like the way you explain things , it’s mind blowing .

This is THE ANSWER to fertilizer shortages.
THANKS.
...what a shame people all over the world are screaming about shortages of fertilizer. I learned this from David the Good’s channel (he calls it “Fetid Swamp Water).
I’m thrilled to have found this channel suggestion this morning and I subscribed immediately...(you can also make a decent fertilizer with human urine & wood ash).
I agree Sandy most people have no idea they already have all the fertilizer they'll need!!
Thanks 👍I love it so simple and I'm going to use grass clippings to help me make a few meadows with grass and meadow plants for my chickens...then use their manure in the meadow and plant grains for them to eat and use their clippings and manures to enrich the soil ...have a lot of rocks and hardwood tree trees that I've thinned out and planted meadow grass and herbs...and flowers...lol the chickens though are enjoying the new sprouts from the meadow already so hopefully in a few years it will be healthy meadow and soil so I can plant island of edibles for me too ..have hickory nuts and peaches and stinging nettle.. and all heal and mustards...and now have a solid plan to have them thriving!.PS
I also plant Dutch clover that naturally fixes nitrogen from the air to it's roots bees and poliator's love the flowers to and it grows on runner roots. So easy to then seed with grass and meadow plants and now I have the perfect way to make fertilizer for my property and plants to be healthy and thrive!
Question for ya Nate: I see you're throwing peppers away. Do you ever save your seeds to replant? You're the dang best go-to for gardening tips. So brilliant, down to earth, and easy on the eyes!
actually I'm not throwing them away I'm recycling them into fertilizer for next years peppers! lol... and pepper seeds are one of the few seeds I buy every year because they cross pollinate with each other very easily and the peppers you plant next year will have very different properties than the ones you saved seeds from if you are growing more than one type of pepper.... easy on the eyes.... lol
@@gardenlikeaviking do you have a video on cross-pollination and how it effects plants and how to prevent it
It’s all so wonderful! Great content, easy to understand and execute. Am excited to try this out. I have a bucket of chicken poo and leaf mold out fermenting in garden and calcium acetate waiting to finish bubbling thanks to you. Can’t wait to put this knowledge to use. Thanks for sharing what you know!
Thanks I am using 6 gallon food grade buckets with screw on lids for my garden. Where do you get the larger barrels with screw on lid? I want my son-in-law to try it on a field? Living next to chemical farming I had to learn to heal my gut and now I’m learning to heal the soil. Good bugs and bad bugs :-) Micro greens is what helped me the most. I look forward to your video on how to store it through the winter I am in Northwest corner of Kansas so it freezes hard.
I have seen them at a feed store. So check your Grange co op or Tractor Supply (etc)
Craigslist also has suppliers sometimes, they are industrial surplus from pickle making in many cases.
I'm in southeast Nebraska and I've experienced -0 - -40°F for WEEKS.
Would think putting the barrel in the ground and leaving lid above grade covered with 6" mulch (like we do for parsnips/etc) or an insulated box could keep from freezing. Ferment may be halted (or slowed).
Know quite a few people who have sunk old chest freezers to grade and use for root cellars. Potatoes keep throughout the winter.
I get them from a guy I found on facebook marketplace he works at the olive factory
I was thinking about this as I was pruning my plants throughout the season definitely going to be making a barrel for next season thank you
You could make a video on techniques for planting fruit trees with twigs.

welcome to the channel my friend you will find everything you need to know here and if not then just ask and I can probably do a video about it!
Where can I get the large air tight black barrels you used for making inputs?
THANK YOU FOR LOVING NATURE
Question..... since this process allows for Facultative and Strict Anaerobes to proliferate the barrels would the introduction to soil through a soil drench mean that (assuming that your soil is predominantly aerobic) these Strict Anaerobes will die immediately through the introduction of oxygen and the nutrients stored within them become immediately available to the plant? Or is this simply how this fertilizer works in general? 😅 Cheers from PA, Zone 6B! ✌️🌱
As I understand you add to soil that is already saturated with water then the microbes can wash down h the rough the soil
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

welcome to the channel my friend and thank you for the positive energy!!
I was considering making 6 diffrent barrels one for each group of vegetables that i grow. So one for legumes - nightshades - chicories - chenopods - brassicas and alliums. Then ill also make a barrel from nettles for young plants and one from bocking 14 comfrey. So 8 barrels should do fine i hope :) not sure how long the ingredients need to stay in tho, was considering a year for the diffrent groups and 4 weeks or so for nettles and comfrey.
thats a fantastic idea and ideal for maximum plant nutrition.... however I would either add an additional barrel for the fish fertilizer or replace probably the chicories barrel with fish as the fish is of utmost value to the plants and soil...
Thanks i could do that, ask the local fish store for fish waste they throw away to make a free fish fertiliser from your reciept :)
@@gardenlikeaviking does fish fertilizer should be make without vegtables?
