grow bacteria and plants live. nature's way. fertilizers are a mere supplement… nothing more.
You sold that book to me! :-)
We have been scammed into believing that we need fertilizers to grow plants. No nutrients are needed to grow any plant. Just wake up your soil with microlife and you're ready.
So, when the next year comes, I should put in new compost into my raised bed and don't rototill it? Is that right john?
Dude try a Body Mic and talk Normally you sound Like your Yelling at People remember CONVERSATIONAL LEVELS
John look up what phyto plankton is on youtube feed too your plants. One strain nano chloropis fits their human genome perfect. You use water a light humid acid too grow this and you drink it for ultimate health threat videos on YouTube explain everything and I've used myself on plant and there tastes amazing beyond compare. I'm using insect frass humid acid and raw reopened for taste compost homemade worm castings focusing all three enzymes and tastes at once I add essential oils and raw reopened an phyto plankton too compost tea.
I watched your video concerning using Rock Dust to improve soil.
I was shocked when I went to the two big box stores—Home depot and Lowes—asking for rock dust (online) and all I could find was rock dust used for "paving your driveway"!!??? I even typed in Azomite—and got pretty much the same results!
the Womr factory CAN be used for indoors. But ive got it in my garage cuz the bugs it attracts are too much for my kitchen
Thanks for going to all these places and letting us see things we are unable to. Would love to be there myself, but we have you!! thanks again John.
cheap, super-soil mix
first mix together 1 bag of garden soil (fine black dirt) with 1 bag of potting soil (brown wood chips), then mix in a pot with styrofoam balls in a 3 to 1 ratio (3 cups of dirt for every 1 cup of styrofoam). at the same time you are mixing dirt styrofoam, coil a rope inside the pot like a spring (wick). finally, add a 1 inch top layer of gravel or black aquarium rocks, to prevent algae growth. if you water with balanced nutrients like flora duo a + b that don't need to be flushed (drop the ph with vinegar), then this soil mix should last over a dozen harvests ! =P
I need help with the interface at the bottom between the air and the bottom of the worm castings. what is the size, source and longevity of this interface?
Hey John. I have a worm composter 360 and have three full trays, it's been going since October. I also live in the North Bay and have an organic garden. Thanks for making this video and supporting our local organic gardening community.
Fun jaui 23:12. Fun guy!
nice video , If anyone else wants to grow you own tasty organic fruit and veg quick it's worth considering – Banfan Incredible Organic Miracle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? Ive heard some interesting things about it from my colleague – great!
Addicted to these videos!!!
thats amazing and your awesome sir! never stop making videos please!
I forgot to mention I live in the Midwest in zone 5 and we just had a late frost and snow season which may have contributed to tree being seemingly dormant. I am very interested in your opinion.
Always spreading the good news John. Love your passion and helpful insights into these wonderful businesses supporting an 'Organics' approach. Keep up the good work.
It's Jerry Mitchell!!!
Hi thank you for all the help seems like they want to help people make the world better
John, what do you think of Alaskan fish fertilizer?

Blah blah blah blah! More showing.less talking. ..

Im going to grow GIANT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
GIANT CROOKED TREES.
GIANT PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
SUPERSIZE ME.
YEAH BABY YEAH.
John I'm surprised you don't make your own compost – you have an abundance of plant material and vegetable scraps to use?
Hi John..Would this be able to sustain the plants throughout the growing period or additional nutrients would be applied before harvesting
Is there an affordable way to fertilize my garden?
would this soil mix be appropriate for Japanese maples?
Wow!!! that is some next level compost… respect for sharing your knowledge with us John.
heck yeah mud clot fights! right of passage in my day…that and skipping stones on the pond..
Thats fine but the average person cant afford or wont afford to add all those ingrediants. My thoughts are all those ingrediants are not needed anyway, but for those who have extra money to blow , knock yourself out.
Hi John,..I enjoy your videos. don"t know if it matters to you but the advert shown before this video was for GMO by Bayer.
John, I'm 1 week in on my new garden 15'x15' area. I'm new at it, but absolutely obsessed over my new garden! I hope I get lots of healthy vegetables outta this…I spend about 3-6 hours per day in the garden since I dug the ground up, laid soil, nutrients, planted the seedlings….now I have a mole that is determined to return after I've hand caught him, he popped up outta the dirt while I was watering, imagine my surprise, lol….so I simply grabbed him & relocated him about an acre or two away…obviously not far enough cause the next morning I see his trail again. He hasn't caused much harm, except for popping a few of my plants up along his trail, which I very easily pushed back down & watered. Besides him, I'm really enjoying my garden, but…I have planted "Cucumber Pickles" the smaller half sized cucumbers that grow on a vine, I'd like to know ur opinion on the cheapest & most efficient way to either buy or build my own trof I think it's called, someting my viney vines can grow upwards onto?
Thank you for the videos, I really enjoy watching u alot!
