[Music] All right. Today we’re going to go to the Fullerton Arboritum. And the reason why we’re going there is because we’re going to make different types of compost tea. And I’ve never seen anybody do this before. Making compost tea out of native soil. So, I’ve made compost tea out of my dad’s backyard garden. I took the avocado tree that’s been there for almost 40 years and we dug up all of that soil and we made compost tea out of it. But the idea here is to take the native soil of a plant and if you think about it, it’s created an environment that it really enjoys. For example, like a forest has all these little microisal fungal networks scattered out and it would be beneficial to the soil. So, we’re in this beautiful arboritum right now. Wonderful flowers. So, I’m going to show you around. And just to let you know, it’s Saturday uh 10:04. So, roger that. They are closed in the front entrance. So, you have to come through this side entrance right here. I guess they’re doing some type of construction or something. So, look how beautiful the Fullerton Arboritum already is right when you walk in. And you can encourage people to come here that they use all their senses, that they touch the leaves of the plants, that they smell it, that they maybe break off a little piece. Don’t taste it. At least not that one. And this is a very beautiful fruit right here. If we’re lucky, we can find one that just fell off and try it. These are delicious. if you know which tree this one is. And that’s a beautiful fruit. And just look at this fruit. So awesome. Rare fruits here. And here’s the fruit right here. Gem bolan. [Music] [Music] [Music] So look at this. If you uncover all of this, you will see amazing soil. the fruit right here. A lot of the fruit has very thin skin, so you can try peeling it off and then m really sour. It’ll grow great with miracle fruit. It’ll stain your hand, so you can make a sorbet out of it. And it’s absolutely delicious. And above me is a whole bunch of these just hanging from the trees. Splat fruit. Huh? [Music] [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. Hey, [Music] hey, hey. You [Music] can see what you [Music] want. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Hey, do Heat. Heat. Heat. Hey. Hey. Hey. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Isn’t that a great specimen right here? And here’s a good example of a cactus that is not producing chlorophyll. It’s a genetic phenomenon here. And this cactus is actually thriving in Southern California. And that makes California such a great place to grow tropical cactuses that fruit and flower because even in conditions like this up on a nice hill, the flowers will produce and the plants will thrive despite their lack thereof ability to produce chlorophyll. And that’s all for today. So I’ll see you guys on the next video. [Music]
