Compost Tea Tomato Experiment final results

[MrChickenbone1]

you talked about the difference in worm tea, can you do a video on how you make your tea or respond on how you make yours. I use worm castings, mulch, and fish emulsion, along with molasses. Mine is not as dark as your, would you mind sharing your recipe? Thanks great video's

[pinkginger09]

Thanks for putting in the time and sharing this info.

Your plants say a lot about nutritional value and to me that is the KEY POINT.

The shroud of GMO has blinded a generation into thinking that bigger is better... but has little nutrition. Your experiment demonstrated size and nutrition.

Too bad the big Agg biz couldn't' get a clue. OH wait, for them the money is most important thing. :<

I jumped when the camera guy sneezed!! hahahahha. Great experiment, I'm thinking about using compost tea for my garden :D

Great video man . I'm now sold on compost tea and can hardly wait to try it on my next veggie garden. By the way your daughter was very convincing. Keep up the good work.

Nice Report, thanks

[ToyMaster83]

Yep. I couldn't agree more. No artificiality. One of the things that scares me even more than the use of synthetics, is how many people have no idea how to grow even the most basic food crops..ie beans or peas or pumpkin. It's this disconnection that has made me want to educate people on not just how to grow and the basics of food gardening, soil nutrition and soil health, but the WHY. Power to you. It's videos made by people like yourself that give me little nuggets of information to share. :)

@ToyMaster83 Thanks for the kind words. It is good to hear that my experience and research provide support for others. Keep up the good work!

To health!

Do you think that it would be better to use the compost tea 4 times/month? Or is there some kind of a limit about how much you can use?

And what do you personally feel the best kind of compost to use is? Are worm casings best, or coffee grounds, or what? I'm interested in growing a large quantity of organic, healthy food in the most economical way possible. Are there any resources regarding the implementation of compost tea on a large scale?

Thanks!

[TeamingWithNature]

@qedlife Great questions! As you can't overdo compost tea, you can apply it as often as you want. Depending on the needs, I like to apply anywhere from once monthly for regular applications to 2-4x per month for stressed plants.

Re: compost types, I prefer a mix of thermophylic compost and worm castings for maximal diversity of microbes.

Check out soilfoodweb for leads to large scale applications. The folks there are the leaders in aerobic compost tea.

To your health!

Thanks very much!

[antonios1024]

that sneeze scared the crap out of me when i was watching the video haha.

[TeamingWithNature]

@antonios1024 Hehe. Sorry for that!

[HackerGuitarist]

this is a bit extreeme...who grows a plant in a pot without any fertilizer, than compares it to a compost tea nutrient plant? this is not real world...both plants should have recieved some fertiliser, than do your experiment.no one grows tomatoes without any nutrients whatsoever.

[TeamingWithNature]

@HackerGuitarist I agree with you that to run a test trial comparing various different amendment programs would be another beneficial test. That said, soil science has proven that even the most 'wasted' soil has plenty of nutrition in it. The nutrition simply isn't available for the plant to uptake without the proper soil biology in place.

I plan to run other tests soon comparing various amendment and nutrition options. Any suggestions?

To health!

@TeamingWithNature: to HackerGuitarist comment that " no one grows tomatoes without any nutrients whatsoever", well I did. lol. But not for experiment but because I was new to gardening or growing anything for that matter. Needless to say it was a bust. :(

[punanibuzzed]

@HackerGuitarist sorry that you are a square. you cant see the bigger picture my friend

[Brndon076]

when the cameraman sneezed i jumped. lol

[TeamingWithNature]

@Brndon076 hehe, thanks for watching!

[HydroponicsFriend]

Nice video. Hopefully more people will learn about the benefits of both compost tea and worm tea. It's scary what they are dong to our food to make more profit. Thanks for helping spread the word about more healthy and natural alternatives.

[TeamingWithNature]

Thanks for the kind support. Yeah, it's tools like compost tea that give me hope. We all can and do make a difference! 

Thinking beyond organic...

Thanks,

Will

[zobcity01]

This was a very good honest piece of evidence to persuade to make my own tea setup. The anaylizer tool you used was a great help in this also.

[ThanksgivingWalk]

Thanks a million for posting this. Wow @ the results.  Love experimental videos with documented results. Appreciate your time and willingness to share this info with the world.

Please do keep the videos coming.

Take care

[TeamingWithNature]

Thank you for your support! Yeah, these nature technologies are amazing. It gives me much hope to see how such simple and easy to duplicate tools like this can have such huge implications. Education and awareness are really where it's at. As more of us wake up to the realization that sustainable practices can provide us with an even more fulfilling and prolific lives, the change comes so easily. To change!!! Thank you.
