    The content of tap water changes from place to place and administration to administration. And, with all the aerial spraying the content of air and rainwater changes too. There are genocidal maniacs at large.

    I was looking at what distance Mr. and Mrs. Honeyberry (5-10 feet tall) should be planted apart. I think I "found" the answer in your video - at 6 feet (1.83m) apart. But you planted them somewhat only ONE meter apart! (Unfortunately, there is no indication about this on the leaflet.)

    A cheap drip system would prevent you from manually filling your water bucket and saving you a huge amount of time. There are great videos on UA-cam explaining drip irrigation.

    Then I should continue the lazy-easy method of normal composting of all organic materials in a moist pile on the ground. It is slow but natural.

    Nothing is really free, even sun and 'free compost'. For the sun, you need to have access to a land. If in apartment, you might have access to a balcony, therefor, less "free sun" for you. For the "free compost", well, you still have to work for it (use your car, move the compost bin, have space to age the compost, taking care of it, watering, spread on vege, etc). Gardening is not a great ROI if you consider it like a job. But, as a hobby, it mysteriously turn the ROI the other way around! Organic/free is fun, but take way more time compare to chemical fertilizers. I use both, for different application. Sorry for this ambiguous comment!

  • @alexandrevaliquette3883
    @alexandrevaliquette3883 2 місяці тому

    Let me disagree: even if you have a microscope and a phD in microbiology, it's impossible to properly identify all the bacteria in your compost tea. You will need a DNA sequencer and expensive instruments.

  • @alexandrevaliquette3883
    @alexandrevaliquette3883 2 місяці тому

    As a rough estimation, a 3lbs (1.5kg) of soluble Miracle Grow (about 10$) is the equivalent of about 1500 pee. Sure, it's free, but you don't save much.

    the passive broths (popular in biodynamics) require daily stir it ups for its short oxigenization instead of turning anaerobic.

  • @user-jn9rj7hm6u
    @user-jn9rj7hm6u 2 місяці тому

    lacking essential factor for foliar fertilizers application: the ph of the broth/compost tea should not be over 6,5 due to hydrogencarbonate would block its absorption into the leaves; ph can be lowered by controlled vinagre application. sunshine also dries up moisture on te leaves fast, so applications should be given on cloudy days w/o rain or at dawn/dusk.

  • @user-jn9rj7hm6u
    @user-jn9rj7hm6u 2 місяці тому

    i suppose using EM would add the microbes needed for instant plant availability of organic components in & above the soil instead of waiting up to 2 years ?

  • @user-jn9rj7hm6u
    @user-jn9rj7hm6u 2 місяці тому

    in water deposit fed irrigation systems, (such as BLUMAT) the water temperature gets a problem in hot summer due to its lower O2 saturation values in higher temperatures as you can see from aquarium tables. water poor in oxygen takes O2 from the soil & roots worstening their conditions. i'll cover the deposits by ivy & blackberry plants etc. for shadowing them.

  • @user-jn9rj7hm6u
    @user-jn9rj7hm6u 2 місяці тому

    in summer, i programmed 5 starts for my drip irrigation system each day, so i assume, that watering frequency also affects soil's microbes due to less time for their recovering from 1 irrigation to the next...

    bacteria can be added by stinging nettle (or other plants) broth watered in the soil or planting broad beans (they offer hide outs for microbes converting N from te air to N soil available. peas etc. have same effect.
