"The human mind cannot even begin to understand the unimaginable complexity that is involved in the perfection of nature." Truer words have never been spoken.
This is the first video people need to watch, it clearly makes the other videos make sense, and ties everything together in the soil web. Much love brother...✌
I absolutely LOVE the way you explain all the important things in a way everyone can understand. .I have always had a "green thumb" but only recently started to attempt growing food. It isn't as easy as one thinks...BUT, you sir are enabling me to be a lot more productive. I found you a few weeks ago and your advice turned my garden around, it has started producing where it was not ! It's so CRAZY SATISFYING! You are a godsend! So much so that I came back and searched you out to subscribe! Keep Safe and Be Well!
Love love love the natural/organic methods. It’s just the way our creator intended these plants to grow. Thank you so much for imparting this wisdom to us ...(with your shirt on 🤓😆🖐). Seriously, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
I have been looking for a site like this that really breaks down the process and using natural organic teas and soil. Kudos to your great methods and educational resources you offer. 👏
Yes! New favorite channel. This type of nitty-gritty science/math/ based working with The Creator’s design is where my mind goes almost instantly. Learning, learning. Love the puzzle of it all. Now add art. :) Thanks for sharing!
Love the way you explain how these things work together, symbiotically to give the desired results. Natural and effective. Brother keep it going with this knowledge 👍. More people need to know this stuff
I absolutely love your amazing videos. They are so easy to understand, not all scientific, but still scientific but in simple terms where we can understand it all. I live I Tasmania Australia, and we are now in Spring. Cant wait to make your amazing fertilisers. Thank you so much for these fabulous videos.
@@gardenlikeaviking just about to start mine and fully get percolating and I know you can’t rush things however what is the minimum percolating period needed before you can start using whereby you will see some benefit?
I'm learning so much! Yes, I have burned my Peace Lily with store bought fertilizer. Now I know! (It's a huge healthy plant but occasionally the tips of the leaves start to die) Feed the soil, not the plant-makes so much sense. Love how you explain everything in an easy to understand way. Thank you!
Hi teacher. Thank you so much for all the excellent knowledge that you give out freely!! Every time I add diluted jlf, the entire plant turns light green for a few days and then will darken to normal green in a week. I've searched the web but cannot find the answer for the color change
Now I really like you, keep that in mind. I have a deep love of biology and chemistry. Those chemicals you read off are the same chemicals that the protozoans, metazoans, fungi, bacteria, and insects all free up. I love "organic gardening" but I'm not an organic gardener. My seedlings get a liquid synthetic. I can store 200lbs in an 18 gallon tote. Calcium nitrate and epsom salt are always my core starting points. I will always hit my seedlings with a liquid synthetic, and I never dilute it. Now I'm also lazy in nature. Because of this, I love using leaf mold, compost, my worm bins castings, and alfalfa pellets(organic, keep away from those herbicides and pesticides) as a top dress fertilizer. Fertilizers aren't your enemies. Now herbicides and pesticides are a different story. Now all the disagreement aside, your methods are great and work. Great channel and keep trucking along.
thank you for this thoughtful and respectful comment my friend.... I deeply disagree with you on the use of synthetic fertilizers... of course I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you or anyone who uses them as a person... but I am saying chemicals are not the same as the biological method and they do not nourish the life in the soil and therefor they cannot be the way of the future... nor are they the ways of our ancestors whose lives literally depended on keeping the soil healthy and alive for millennia before us... thank you for your input Ronald
Thank,s dear i love to learn from you and i alteady learned a lot , i am from north of pakistan and today i am going to do some agriculture projects with my kids thank,s ♥️♥️
Last year I started getting into growing fig trees. I’ve been using Jadam for 2 years now and am applying the method to my trees. With great success. I am always on the fig forums and all they talk about is how much miracle grow to use. They people know all the varieties of figs, how to graft limbs everything except how to grow. Yes they get big beautiful trees but then will complain that this year the fruit wasn’t that good. Or the the tree dropped all its figs. Or that the fruit of potted fig trees is not as good as in the ground. They are turning their trees into junkies waiting for its next fix, and what happens after a few years the tree goes into withdraw. Fruit doesn’t taste sweet or the leaves are curling the trees drops it’s fruit. I try to educate them to feed the soil not the tree. If the potted tree has the same biology as the in ground trees the fruit should taste exactly the same. I hear them say water the tree until it comes out of the bottom. But what else is coming out? Every nutrient and microbe. I was growing fig trees last year that were 4 ft in 2 gal pots. When I put the in the ground they grew another 2 ft before I pinched the tips to stop their growth and focus on ripening the fruit. And all I gave them was comfrey tea in the beginning and then compost teas with IMO and FAA. I only got a few fruit per tree but they were delicious. And from a 7 month old tree. It takes two to three years to see a good crop. I had one tree that I bought and got stuck in the mail for 8 days. It was only 6in tall and almost dead. Using Jadam that tree not only gave me 6 fruit but the trunk this year measures 1.5 in. From half the size of a pencil. I will be going to one of their gathering this year, hope to make some converts…..
" They're turning their trees into junkies waiting for its next fix"....you're absolutely correct in your assessment my friend and I'm so happy you see the truth of what's happening.... I get loads of people telling me I'm "mistaken" or "misinformed" when I explain things like this but I just keep speaking and doing what I know to be right no matter what... thank you!!
I’m a brand new gardener and have been reading the Jadam book, watching Jadam videos, and making JLF, JMS, JWA and JS. I just put 2 fig saplings into the ground. I think they already had rust from Lowes. I would appreciate any of your tips and experience with growing figs. Thank you!
@@agentannie4976 if its just one or two leaves you can take them off. But i wouldn't go much farther. They get photosynthesis from their leaves. You can use a copper fungicide its organic. Will your tree be potted or in ground?
@@kicknadeadcat we just put them in the ground a couple of weeks ago. The rust is on about 25% of the leaves but hasn’t progressed. I watered it with some JMS, and sprayed it with JWA and JS yesterday. Do you think the copper would be a better treatment plan?
I have started putting banana peels in a 5 gallon bucket with water, let sit for minimally 4 days, and then use the liquid 1 to 1 water. My cactus’ are growing leaps and bounds! Outside garden is flourishing from 55 gallon tub with cuttings I threw in with water. It’s stinky but bubbling with life! Love it
Am happy to learn from you , you seem to understand the plants and food web so well,kindly tell us how I will do to my soil to neutralize the soil for I have been using chemical fertilizer
Man , even if a person has no interest in gardening at all , , your videos can help Every One appreciate Nature and its Processes . Universal 🌍 cosmic 🪐 Energy ⚡ my Friends , , ,
Lot's of super awesome info ! We are just a few weeks away from being able to start getting out the warm weather crops and I'm getting excited lol . I will be doing all kinds of experimenting this year . I hope you have a great evening !
Ive been saving your videos. I should really make a notebook. I love learning all this stuff ( not that I will remember without notes) and your enthusiasm is contageous. P.s. The fruits and vegetables the last few years are absolutely tasteless; even from the so- called farmer's market.
absolutely my friend the soil was never meant to be farmed with such high intensity non stop and the natural processes of replenishment take much longer than farmers give it!!...
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable knowledge! I can only grow food indoors and started with hydroponically. However, when I found out I can only use chemical fertilizer, I switched it to potting mix. Do you have any recommendation of good organic fertilizers for growing food indoors?
What left over food scraps cannot be used in liquid fertilizer....ie; potato salad..noodle salad etc; I am definitely be educated by you and my garden is beautiful and producing more than I thought....thanks for info...
I must say you’re very unconventional to tackle the conventional way of growing food with chemical fertilizers in ag. business. I really enjoy your few videos of how to do our own instead of buying, so outside the box. Going for organic is already good for better taste of produce, I bet your “recipes” might be even better for greater yields. Thank you for sharing.
i've only recently gotten into gardening for-real this year and have already immediately had great results in making sure to plant everything with worm castings as well as feeding them consistently with the water from rock tumbling and worm tea (i really hate that name for some reason lol)
Sir I'm listening and liking what you teaching agree no one group was the only to know any farming practices I'm wondering about how you put water on top a bucket and it stays in a bowl to stop air and gas flow from the fermentation of fish water and soil for a year also we have freezing below 0 temperatures so that plugs up the gas from excepting. Just believe maybe you live south and don't have the problem
no all the ferments freeze during the winter and they do not suffer any problems... just make sure the container you use can withstand the pressure of freezing
I would ask 1 thing. Why do you mix metric and standard measurements? You just said, "... add 1 liter to 1 gallon." That's like saying, "Cut me a 2x4 three feet, 10 centimeters long." That doesn't make sense. Is it really gonna matter if you only add a quart to the gallon? Or just say, "Add a tad over a quart to a gallon." Let's stick with ounces, cups, pints, quarts and gallons since you're in the USA. Or just stick with metric, one or the other, but not both. I think you're the reason for my high school chemistry nightmare last night. Other than that, I think you're the best thing since sliced bread.
Hry Brudda. Do you have a video on how to winterize this stuff? Ie heard u talk about it but couldn't find it.I think you said there were some preparations. Starting to get cold and definitely appreciate all the info. Ty! U rock!
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you. You answered my question also on the livestream this weekend. This guy is awesome, I love the way you communicate with everyone and get back to everyone promptly. Not many channels do that. Appreciate all your work and info. Have a great day!
Hi, thanks for elaborating the ratios. I want to know how to measure quantity of water with respect to size of land. Say i have 1 Acre of Land. How much quantity of water shall be used to irrigate the land? and what shall be the ratio for JMS & JLF. ?
Thanks so much. I have been gardening for over fifty years using chemical fertilizers. I’m trying to change to organic this year. I’m looking for a high nitrogen source for corn. I’m applying chicken manure tea this afternoon. Blessings
Love your natural content of earth and natural processes. God gave us all these things to use naturally and not hybridized or hormones or genetically modified to create unnatural foods
I plan to grow cuttings and do air layering to propagate olive trees. As a growing medium, I intend to use 70% well-buffered coco peat with 30% rice husk charcoal. I am wondering whether treating the above soil mixture with chemical fertilizers or natural fertilizers would be a better choice to make the cuttings/air layers more successful.
But I try using Jadam many times but I see my nitrogen level is still low my plants aren’t green and the leaves are getting yellow I later use urea. What can I use as liquid nitrogen fertilizer?
Hello, I'm Pablo from Argentina, nice to meet you... I want to know if is possible to mix Jadam Liquid Nettle Fertilizer with Jadam Liquid Comfrey Fertilizer and Jadam Liquid Fish Remains Fertilizer to store it for a while, or should I keep them separate? Thank you for your answer
Question: Hola Nate, which of these can be used indoors in grow bags without molding or bad smell? I know fish no, what about the grass fertilizer? I love the smell of grass and would it burn the plants in the grow bags?
After watching a few times, I now understand the addition of the non-iodine salt to the potato-leaf mold fertilizer! The salt used for osmosis is utilized by the living organisms (leaf mold) with the blended potato as a food source during the process, while salts in the synthetic fertilizers are built up in the soil and have an opposite effect, very harmful to the SOIL that the plant gets its desired nourishment from ?
welcome my friend!... unfortunately these natural fertilizers do not work with hydroponics because we do not have the power of the soil food web in Hydro... the reservoir turns rancid with these types of ingredients
@@gardenlikeaviking makes sense and was expecting this answer. Thank you so much for the reply and please keep up the excellent content. Myself and a friend are about to start making these items after watching your videos. Enjoy the day
What are your thoughts on using pond water? Is this a ready-to-go solution or would it be more beneficial to use it as the water base for these glorious techniques?
Muy bueno Vikingo poderte escuchar y poder traducir muy cierto lo que dices y haces mención de lo que explicas en favor del suelo los nutrientes que necesita ...quisiera saber si en tus experimentos has logrado encontrar un insecticida para los gusanos de la patata y para el gusano cogollero del maíz que son los que más afectan a estás plantas ...estoy siguiendo y viendo tus vídeos y con el tema también de jadan muchísimas gracias x ilustrarme e ilustrar a las demás personas te escribo desde Perú AREQUIPA un abrazo Vikingoo mi amigo
Allah created nature, among everything, and prepared it to serve all our food and medicine needs. I've never heard anyone talk about how fertilizer works like you have, thank you for explaining the difference between natural and chemical fertilizers.
People make way too big a deal about Anaerobic composting being bad......monitoring and stirring aerobic compost is way too much work. I've always just left it in a 55 gal barrel with no concern for water levels and I always let my compost go Anaerobic during the wetter shoulder seasons, and it eventually dries out over summer. I just leave it for a year or two and let time do the work. Then I dump out the Barrel and give it a quick aerating mix with the pitch fork and let it sit for a few weeks to let aerobic microorganisms take over and multiply. Perfect soil every time. Looking forward to incorporating JLF into my growing system now.
I've sortof just stumbled onto your channel, apologies if this is covered in another video; Is it possible to use the natural liqiuid fertilisers as a nutrient solution for hydroponics / aeroponics?
Would this work with container gardening as well? I am afraid to plant in ground because I have dozens of cats I care for on my property and I assumed them using my yard as a toilet would be bad for gardening
absolutely this would work great in containers... but honestly cat fertilizer would not be much of a problem in your in-ground garden... at least you won't have any chipmunks!!
Hi Nate, I hope you get my question I have a koi pond I was wondering can I use the pond sediment on the bottom of the pond, I would think that all of the slugs would be beneficial for my garden, what say you ?
yes you can use that if you'd like... so long as you don't add fungicides or anything of that nature to the water or antibiotics in the fish feed... can't say for sure what kind of nutritional analysis that would have but surely some good stuff in there!
I remember reading something once that said to get the same amount of vitamin C from an orange that your grandfather used to get from 1 you would need to consume like 7 or 8 of todays modern oranges. This is directly related to the use of commercial fertilizers and other large scale commercial agriculture practices that are producing far less nutrient dense foods.
this is exactly correct my friend and its a major issue of our times!!.. we can see the effects of this in the huge tidal wave of illness and disorders in our current population!... our grandparents didn't have nearly the same level of disease and ill health because their bodies received so many more nutrients from the food!
Organic method works. And I'm not here to sell anything. I've been beyond astonished by the results and drought resistance. However, i rely on both aerobic and anaerobic microbes. This is a huge debate in organic farming world but i can attest you can use any or both
I have been using the jadam method for the past few years and absolutely swear by it. Have you ever used it as an application for a lawn? I have spent many hours looking for information online about how to utilize it on my lawn using a attachable cup sprayer and filling it with the jadam fertilizer but it seems as though no one has produced any content on this subject. Do you have any insight or suggestions?
yes it works great for lawns I know many people using it with success... personally any space I have is used to grow food so no lawn lol.... yes I'll be making a video today on how to apply this to the plants/lawn
I never keep track of that... I just make sure I wash the produce well and it's all good... this past year I only used my special aerated compost teas and thats it!... but even when I was using all the JADAM anaerobic ferments I still didn't pay much attention to that
I practice only JADAM so I have read the books a few times and I follow a lot of farmers who practice JADAM. Any JLF fed to planted soil should be diluted at least 1:30. Standard practice is to start at 1:100 as a test, then raise or lower if needed. The idea that you can’t burn plants with organic fertilizers applies to organic matter vs inorganic nutrients, not just “organic” vs synthetic. JLF is not organic matter even though it is produced “organically” (it even says that in the book). It can absolutely burn plants and it will kill your crop if you aren’t careful with it. The life cycle of JLF seems to cause a large spike in inorganic nitrogen around the 6-18 month age range (depending on temperatures and plant matter), then the nitrogen slowly goes away and you are left with the other minerals. If you don’t dilute it enough during that spike, that’s when you can harm plants. After 3 years I know folks who have used it undiluted with great results (don’t do this without testing). Not trying to be critical or pedantic but I’d hate for someone to hurt their crops. The dilutions you recommend may have worked for you in your context but JLF is powerful stuff and should be respected as such.
Thanks very much. I jut asked Nate a question about banking the JLF with a larger concentration before winter. I am going the regenerative agricultural methodology of strip grazing to stimulate growth via trampling, inoculation of the soil from the flora of a healthy rumen of cattle and sheep. In effect simulation of how the land worked when the buffalo roamed the plane. Any best learned experiences with pasture would be appreciated. Just found this material a little over 2 months ago and want to make my first actual leaf mold culture come late April.
So i only have a small garden for myself and maybe one other person, i am currently brewing the fish fertilizer, and plan on making the grass cutting fertilizer. Would that be a good one two punch combo to use? Both very simple. And i will be making the JADAM potato solution as well
several factors come into play but yes it can be done on scale... I highly suggest getting the JADAM book and following those ratios... you can find it in my amazon storefront
Question: In addition to a pile I have compost tumbler and blue barrels like your black ones. I have two under the tumber to catch the outflow- "tea" - I dilute to water but just learned the jadam from one of your vids - How would you suggest incorporating that into the jadam ? Should I put material leaf mold then (bananas, grass etc) and fill with water or should I create something else w/the tea The compost is grass, straw, rabbit manure, dead pond fish, branches veg fruit scraps etc - all org everything you can think of that's nutritious goes in there from kitchen & yard so has the compost already made it a jadam tea or should I "2nd ferment" so to speak, w/the jadam material?
its best to treat these as separate things... capture the "compost tea" from your tumblers and continue to use that as you have been as that is really great stuff!!... but also use one of those barrels to create a proper jadam liquid fertilizer using leaf mould from the oldest tree you can find...you want the ancient microbes in the leaf mould of the forest... in the jadam barrel add grass... leaf mould and things like dandelion or thistle or comfrey or any other plant high in minerals... then fill with water... this is best
"The human mind cannot even begin to understand the unimaginable complexity that is involved in the perfection of nature." Truer words have never been spoken.

I really enjoy your few videos of how to do our own instead of buying, so outside the box. Going for organic is already good for better taste of produce, I bet your “recipes” might be even better for greater yields. Thank you for sharing.
Great! Well explained!
Loving your video man.... thanks
You are a wise one, I appreciate your knowledge. Very much the solution to our problem on 🌎 thank you!
I am happy this knowledge resonates with you my friend
i've only recently gotten into gardening for-real this year and have already immediately had great results in making sure to plant everything with worm castings as well as feeding them consistently with the water from rock tumbling and worm tea (i really hate that name for some reason lol)
As always thank you very much!!!
Sir I'm listening and liking what you teaching agree no one group was the only to know any farming practices
I'm wondering about how you put water on top a bucket and it stays in a bowl to stop air and gas flow from the fermentation of fish water and soil for a year also we have freezing below 0 temperatures so that plugs up the gas from excepting.
Just believe maybe you live south and don't have the problem
no all the ferments freeze during the winter and they do not suffer any problems... just make sure the container you use can withstand the pressure of freezing
Thanks for the information
I would ask 1 thing. Why do you mix metric and standard measurements? You just said, "... add 1 liter to 1 gallon." That's like saying, "Cut me a 2x4 three feet, 10 centimeters long." That doesn't make sense. Is it really gonna matter if you only add a quart to the gallon? Or just say, "Add a tad over a quart to a gallon." Let's stick with ounces, cups, pints, quarts and gallons since you're in the USA. Or just stick with metric, one or the other, but not both. I think you're the reason for my high school chemistry nightmare last night. Other than that, I think you're the best thing since sliced bread.
Just going through and watching every video. Hehehe 💚
thats the way to do it!!
Hry Brudda. Do you have a video on how to winterize this stuff? Ie heard u talk about it but couldn't find it.I think you said there were some preparations. Starting to get cold and definitely appreciate all the info. Ty! U rock!
that video is coming soon probably today... thank you!
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you. You answered my question also on the livestream this weekend. This guy is awesome, I love the way you communicate with everyone and get back to everyone promptly. Not many channels do that. Appreciate all your work and info. Have a great day!
Hi,
thanks for elaborating the ratios.
I want to know how to measure quantity of water with respect to size of land.
Say i have 1 Acre of Land. How much quantity of water shall be used to irrigate the land? and what shall be the ratio for JMS & JLF. ?
Thanks so much. I have been gardening for over fifty years using chemical fertilizers. I’m trying to change to organic this year. I’m looking for a high nitrogen source for corn. I’m applying chicken manure tea this afternoon. Blessings
great to hear!!... yes chicken manure tea is super high nitro
Hi Champ! kindly shed a light for using the organic fertilizer in hydroponic/aeroponcs
Thanks
Good luck, at no time can you use any of the methods listed as you need soil… Plus I don’t think he grows cannabis
Love your natural content of earth and natural processes. God gave us all these things to use naturally and not hybridized or hormones or genetically modified to create unnatural foods
Just went through the jadam book and now seeing your amazing video. Just wanted to know if I can use jms and jlf in my apple orchard.
yes you can... ideally make an apple JLF
Thanks a lot. Highly appreciated 🙏
Love your content. Please think about adding your content to the Rumble video platform as well and extend your reach. Thank you!!
thank you for the suggestion!... I've never thought about Rumble but I will investigate
can the jlf be stored for later use in glass jars or bottles?
Just started JLF. I plan to use several different buckets. What do I do with the solution over winter?
I plan to grow cuttings and do air layering to propagate olive trees. As a growing medium, I intend to use 70% well-buffered coco peat with 30% rice husk charcoal. I am wondering whether treating the above soil mixture with chemical fertilizers or natural fertilizers would be a better choice to make the cuttings/air layers more successful.
But I try using Jadam many times but I see my nitrogen level is still low my plants aren’t green and the leaves are getting yellow I later use urea. What can I use as liquid nitrogen fertilizer?
Hello, I'm Pablo from Argentina, nice to meet you... I want to know if is possible to mix Jadam Liquid Nettle Fertilizer with Jadam Liquid Comfrey Fertilizer and Jadam Liquid Fish Remains Fertilizer to store it for a while, or should I keep them separate? Thank you for your answer
Question: Hola Nate, which of these can be used indoors in grow bags without molding or bad smell? I know fish no, what about the grass fertilizer? I love the smell of grass and would it burn the plants in the grow bags?
After watching a few times, I now understand the addition of the non-iodine salt to the potato-leaf mold fertilizer! The salt used for osmosis is utilized by the living organisms (leaf mold) with the blended potato as a food source during the process, while salts in the synthetic fertilizers are built up in the soil and have an opposite effect, very harmful to the SOIL that the plant gets its desired nourishment from ?
Excellent videos. You got a new sub. Thank you for posting. Curious if you think this could work in a hydroponics system.
welcome my friend!... unfortunately these natural fertilizers do not work with hydroponics because we do not have the power of the soil food web in Hydro... the reservoir turns rancid with these types of ingredients
@@gardenlikeaviking makes sense and was expecting this answer. Thank you so much for the reply and please keep up the excellent content. Myself and a friend are about to start making these items after watching your videos. Enjoy the day
What are your thoughts on using pond water? Is this a ready-to-go solution or would it be more beneficial to use it as the water base for these glorious techniques?
for the fertilizers yes it is the best of all... but for the microbial solutions such as JMS then no we want very clean and clear water
Muy bueno Vikingo poderte escuchar y poder traducir muy cierto lo que dices y haces mención de lo que explicas en favor del suelo los nutrientes que necesita ...quisiera saber si en tus experimentos has logrado encontrar un insecticida para los gusanos de la patata y para el gusano cogollero del maíz que son los que más afectan a estás plantas ...estoy siguiendo y viendo tus vídeos y con el tema también de jadan muchísimas gracias x ilustrarme e ilustrar a las demás personas te escribo desde Perú AREQUIPA un abrazo Vikingoo mi amigo

I love this explanation it reminds me of nature in water fish get eaten by bigger fish and that big fish gets eaten by another and so on.
Allah created nature, among everything, and prepared it to serve all our food and medicine needs. I've never heard anyone talk about how fertilizer works like you have, thank you for explaining the difference between natural and chemical fertilizers.
People make way too big a deal about Anaerobic composting being bad......monitoring and stirring aerobic compost is way too much work. I've always just left it in a 55 gal barrel with no concern for water levels and I always let my compost go Anaerobic during the wetter shoulder seasons, and it eventually dries out over summer. I just leave it for a year or two and let time do the work. Then I dump out the Barrel and give it a quick aerating mix with the pitch fork and let it sit for a few weeks to let aerobic microorganisms take over and multiply. Perfect soil every time. Looking forward to incorporating JLF into my growing system now.
❤❤❤👏👏...great information...🙏
I've sortof just stumbled onto your channel, apologies if this is covered in another video; Is it possible to use the natural liqiuid fertilisers as a nutrient solution for hydroponics / aeroponics?
Should i use the chicken manure same as the grass?
Would this work with container gardening as well? I am afraid to plant in ground because I have dozens of cats I care for on my property and I assumed them using my yard as a toilet would be bad for gardening
absolutely this would work great in containers... but honestly cat fertilizer would not be much of a problem in your in-ground garden... at least you won't have any chipmunks!!
Hi Nate, I hope you get my question I have a koi pond I was wondering can I use the pond sediment on the bottom of the pond, I would think that all of the slugs would be beneficial for my garden, what say you ?
yes you can use that if you'd like... so long as you don't add fungicides or anything of that nature to the water or antibiotics in the fish feed... can't say for sure what kind of nutritional analysis that would have but surely some good stuff in there!
***** great showing
Blessings. How do I use the JADAM on my seedlings?
I remember reading something once that said to get the same amount of vitamin C from an orange that your grandfather used to get from 1 you would need to consume like 7 or 8 of todays modern oranges. This is directly related to the use of commercial fertilizers and other large scale commercial agriculture practices that are producing far less nutrient dense foods.
this is exactly correct my friend and its a major issue of our times!!.. we can see the effects of this in the huge tidal wave of illness and disorders in our current population!... our grandparents didn't have nearly the same level of disease and ill health because their bodies received so many more nutrients from the food!
Organic method works. And I'm not here to sell anything. I've been beyond astonished by the results and drought resistance. However, i rely on both aerobic and anaerobic microbes. This is a huge debate in organic farming world but i can attest you can use any or both
I have been using the jadam method for the past few years and absolutely swear by it. Have you ever used it as an application for a lawn? I have spent many hours looking for information online about how to utilize it on my lawn using a attachable cup sprayer and filling it with the jadam fertilizer but it seems as though no one has produced any content on this subject. Do you have any insight or suggestions?
yes it works great for lawns I know many people using it with success... personally any space I have is used to grow food so no lawn lol.... yes I'll be making a video today on how to apply this to the plants/lawn
Could I use tin sardines or tuna in spring water for fertiliser, I can’t get fresh fish? Thank you
Hi, Nate! How many days should pass before you harvest veg that has been fertilized with the natural liquid amendments?
I never keep track of that... I just make sure I wash the produce well and it's all good... this past year I only used my special aerated compost teas and thats it!... but even when I was using all the JADAM anaerobic ferments I still didn't pay much attention to that
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks! 🙏🏼
Would love to know more about fermented sea salt water, how to make it and how to use it and how often
will do!... thank you
Can I use these to improve the soil around my fruit saplings or are they mainly for vegetables?
all of these will work wonderfully for fruit trees and shrubs yes!
I practice only JADAM so I have read the books a few times and I follow a lot of farmers who practice JADAM.
Any JLF fed to planted soil should be diluted at least 1:30. Standard practice is to start at 1:100 as a test, then raise or lower if needed.
The idea that you can’t burn plants with organic fertilizers applies to organic matter vs inorganic nutrients, not just “organic” vs synthetic. JLF is not organic matter even though it is produced “organically” (it even says that in the book).
It can absolutely burn plants and it will kill your crop if you aren’t careful with it. The life cycle of JLF seems to cause a large spike in inorganic nitrogen around the 6-18 month age range (depending on temperatures and plant matter), then the nitrogen slowly goes away and you are left with the other minerals.
If you don’t dilute it enough during that spike, that’s when you can harm plants. After 3 years I know folks who have used it undiluted with great results (don’t do this without testing).
Not trying to be critical or pedantic but I’d hate for someone to hurt their crops. The dilutions you recommend may have worked for you in your context but JLF is powerful stuff and should be respected as such.
Thanks your msg is very informative. What do you mean by 1:30 or 1:100? Pls break it for me
@@tunkara-pu2pu 1:30 is 1 part fertilizer to 30 parts water, 1:100 is 1 part fertilizer to 100 parts water
Thanks very much. I jut asked Nate a question about banking the JLF with a larger concentration before winter. I am going the regenerative agricultural methodology of strip grazing to stimulate growth via trampling, inoculation of the soil from the flora of a healthy rumen of cattle and sheep. In effect simulation of how the land worked when the buffalo roamed the plane. Any best learned experiences with pasture would be appreciated. Just found this material a little over 2 months ago and want to make my first actual leaf mold culture come late April.
So i only have a small garden for myself and maybe one other person, i am currently brewing the fish fertilizer, and plan on making the grass cutting fertilizer. Would that be a good one two punch combo to use? Both very simple. And i will be making the JADAM potato solution as well
absolutely its best to use everything in combination... I'll soon be making a video about this
Could this be done large scale with the grass mixture to fertilizer a corn crop for grain
several factors come into play but yes it can be done on scale... I highly suggest getting the JADAM book and following those ratios... you can find it in my amazon storefront
Question: In addition to a pile I have compost tumbler and blue barrels like your black ones. I have two under the tumber to catch the outflow- "tea" - I dilute to water but just learned the jadam from one of your vids - How would you suggest incorporating that into the jadam ? Should I put material leaf mold then (bananas, grass etc) and fill with water or should I create something else w/the tea The compost is grass, straw, rabbit manure, dead pond fish, branches veg fruit scraps etc - all org everything you can think of that's nutritious goes in there from kitchen & yard so has the compost already made it a jadam tea or should I "2nd ferment" so to speak, w/the jadam material?
its best to treat these as separate things... capture the "compost tea" from your tumblers and continue to use that as you have been as that is really great stuff!!... but also use one of those barrels to create a proper jadam liquid fertilizer using leaf mould from the oldest tree you can find...you want the ancient microbes in the leaf mould of the forest... in the jadam barrel add grass... leaf mould and things like dandelion or thistle or comfrey or any other plant high in minerals... then fill with water... this is best
@@gardenlikeaviking Perfect! Thank You so much.
