Compost tea is absolutely great. However, beware of your dogs when using the tea. They may dig where you applied. I learned the hard way. May have to "fur baby" proof garden area😊
You're so enjoyable to watch, follow and learn from!! Many thanks!!
Got you beat on smell. Catfish bait.
Love the idea of making it, but I'll pass on the stinkiness!
i dont get home made liquid fertilizers like these because this is anaerobic, too much microbial growth and no oxygen.
I'll stick to fertilizer I made something like that it bout made me sick getting close to it
How to remove all the weed seeds?
I was with you on 2020.
So happy for the return of self-sufficient Sundays! Always so much more to learn.😎
Fetid swamp water, great stuff! I have two 5 gallon buckets over-wintered so It's definitely ready. It's a good idea in the Fall to brew some up for next Spring, especially when things haven't greened up yet.
Hotter the weather faster it goes right?
Also the residue left goes into compost pile right?
Stinky but turns into yummy food! Thank you Brian! Blessings!
What bacteria are in the rotting vegetation? You pour this rotting bacteria laden liquid into your soil, is that safe for plants? What is the NPK levels?
This is good info… How often do you water with this?
Do ya need to feed/keep feeding the bacteria? I have a bucket of rotting plant matter in water that I never added sugar to.
Most excellent! These types of videos always hit the mark. Been listening since either 2019 or 2020, not sure how to know. THANKS.
How exciting bringing back self sufficient.
Brian its best to put it he weeds in s semi pumable bag then put in the water. This contains the weeds from the water you can empty in compost when done or dispose of them in green waste bin.😊
I recently watched a video by another creator doing this.
My interest is piqued and I will definitely try it.
Self sufficient Sunday? Yes, please.
Yay! I loved self sufficient Sunday!Looking forward to seeing it again!!
I found your Youtube channel right when the Covid lock-down started in 2020. Yes, I remember Self-sufficient Sundays, and I'm glad to hear you're bringing it back!
Yes! Love Self-Sufficient Sunday! Also you better start making room on your wall for that 1 mil YT plaque! Any day now!
Wow ! Really loved this video! Fertilizer is so dang expensive!
How cool is this, you made so many good videos I have followed you since 2020 when I started my garden, you have a beautiful place now, by the way I’m also staring a new garden at no cost 🤞it goes well, thank you 😊
My only issue with this one are my neighbours 😂.
Good video , I enjoyed this series. Happy to see self sufficient come back!
Has anyone checked the water and then the finished tea to see actually how much nutrients were produced?
This is in line with (KNF) Korean Natural Farming practices. They call this FPJ (fermented plant juice). If you ferment oregano scraps, the juice & oils from it is a natural insecticide. You can also mix this with & add your own homemade L.A.B. serum (lactic acid bacteria) for additional good microbes.
Check out KNF and JADAM natural farming practices. Very effective stuff.
I use this all the time, but I cut the weeds in small pieces.
I REMEMBER SSS! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Brian. When capping the concoction, does the lid need to be airtight?
looking forward to self-sufficient Sunday. I don't make fertilizer out of my weeds. Great idea. I chop them up with my lawn mower and use them like a thin mulch. Also in spring when the maple seeds fall in garage gutter and it fills up with water from the rains it ferments also. I have 5gallon buckets by downspout when i unclog the mess and save that for dilution to put on my plants too. I know what you mean by such a putrid mess.😂
Suggestion, if you double bucket, with a damaged, or drilled bucket on the top, you can lift it out, and it would be a strainer!
Yay, to self-sufficient Sunday!
This may be a crazy question, but can you use ryegrass as a weed for the liquid compost?
Do you seal it and forget it for 6 weeks? or do we need to open and stir?
I see you have Oxalis (sour sobs) as well, it's so common here it's not funny.
Have 5 acres of nettles and I curse them every time I go outside, now they will have a purpose other than making my feet and ankles sting for hours 😊
Looking forward to self sufficient Sundays!
How can I make compost without animal manure, or is that possible?
That's a good idea.. however those are not weeds, they are herbs.. wild lettuce for pain relief and dandelion for heart health.
Awesome! So, do we just leave this in the bucket with the weeds in there too until we use all of it? How often should the plants be fertilized with the diluted fertilizer? Great info! Thanks!
I"ve done this for a couple of years, just putting in leaves from tree trimmings, weeds from weeding, and any other greens that I pull from the garden. I find after 2 weeks of sitting in the sun it's ready (although, as you say, it smells HORRIBLE!) I don't dilute it, I just pour on the ground under my plants. The "aroma" goes away after an hour or two after pouring on the ground.
Been with you before 2020 and sooooo happy for Self-sufficeint Sunday again!!! Yay!!!! 🙂 Thank you!
This is such a useful tip, thank you!
I bet I pulled a 50 gallon barrel's worth of weeds today but I fed them to our pigs and goats, which they were Very happy about. Next time I weed I'll keep some to make fertilizer. I'm looking forward to some more Self Sufficient Sundays!
I always used the weed and grass clipping tea within the good smelling time. Once it got rank, I thought it went bad and I chucked it out.
Looks like I wasted my weed water!
