I guess I could use my vermi compost to make tea. Thanks for you videos! Helps me feel more confident with my gardening skills!

I'm not sure if someone has already suggested this, but instead of just plonking the poop/weeds in the bucket and then filling with water, you could put it in an old pillow case, knot the top, then put in the bucket with the water.

this does the straining for you!

love your videos! :)

[sierradayhiker]

can you show the soil as you inprove it and prep it====== thanks

[veeveevenn]

if you have 3 of those white buckets ( not necessarily white ) but the same size; drill about 30 holes in the bottom of one, stack it inside another bucket, ( there will be a space in the bottom between the 2 buckets ) then dump the one with the watery manure into it. When you lift the bucket with the holes, voila! you have the manure and the liquid is in the bottom bucket.

Have just recently found your tube vid's. Wow Im enjoying them very much thanks.

[DakotaJanes]

Cow manure is really good, especially that due to meat production, there is too much of it to the point of polluting the planet.

[edwardgracy]

Could you use used coffee grounds and used herbs as a fertillizer? Great vids, very informative.

[mreastky]

Great video. Would you suggest lawn clippings or is that a bad choice of green plants?

[these5acres]

Brilliant! Thank you for this!

[skillett2009]

Nice series. 'Maters love N, and probably one of the best manures for N content is chicken if you can find it. Also horse if they have been fed alfalfa. Alfalfa also makes a dandy mulch if mixed with a straw as it does tend to mold.

Wait... 49 degrees is hot? Is it a different measuring system or something? I'm from California and ... 49 degrees is rather chilly here. I'm more accustom to calling around 100 or 115 degrees hot.

[longuscatius]

celsius!!!!!

[spyknife]

I use vacuum cleaner dust that I get for free from my Dyson to fertilize my plants.

[bowmasterpigo13]

i love gardening where are u in i live in Austlai love all ur videos great 5 stars and great for people that are starting

[robbierohn123]

i like the video, but i have some question for u offline on some of making fertiliser, to email u through utube for u to answer the question instead of going through theproducegarden site where i see another video rather than i post the question.

Human waste isnt supposed to be used in your vegetable garden because of the amount and types of bacteria in the fecal matter. It HAS been used however in some municipalities after its been processed. If you had the time and effort to put into processing it, then yes, you can use human waste. It's long and involved. Incidentally, if you have a problem with rabbits and deer feasting within your garden, human urine will keep them out and is okay for plants (just not directly on them).

[fishmut]

Very good idea i use liquide fertilzer all the time most manures diluted in water and put on the garden beds the plants love it . i have still to see the rest of your videos great to see someone shareing in what we gardeners all have in common and something we enjoy cheers......

[ShirleyAnn59]

New to gardening and will try the weed tea. I guess I need to get some sheep.

[kokonutbaby1]

hey christian, do u have air conditioning in your house or are u roughing it out there?

[kokonutbaby1]

Ack! I bet that stuff stinks, hahaha...try getting a big colander to strain it..just make sure u dont mix it up w/the one u use for the kitchen. hahahaha

[josephdupont]

why not just use a screen to separate the stuff?

[mtspalmer]

As a general rule, if the source of manure comes from an animal that eats meat, don't use it for your garden.

[jfuhrman123]

why

[MyQuest4Health]

We have 2 rabbits. Can we use rabbit manure for the tea? Does it need to be diluted?

[ValveOilOnFire]

can you use human shit for fertilizer?

[shoobedoorocketship]

there is a book on called humanure

you can look it up on amazon.

you have to keep it hot to a certain temp for a year and its not advise to use it for root vegs more for trees and stuff.

[Gunnarsguns]

Yes you can use human crap for fertilizer. The most populated country in the world survives on it

[jayangli]

so ur saying chinese people survive on shit

[bahamalesster]

Nope human wast cant be used.

[jayangli]

are you telling me what he is using is human shit? ??

[bahamalesster]

no i wasnt saying that Lol. It compost tea ( also known as manure tee from a sheep.) Sorry to have accidentaly mislead u. Mate.

[ccoasterdesigner]

What is that orange thing to the right of your shoulder as we are looking at you??

[stepherz76]

This is great! I used Miracle Gro on my garden last year. Ack! It works but I'm not so sure it's good for us to eat. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a garden if the veggies cease to be good for you from the chems. :-)

[widoweh]

Thank you SO much for the weeds-in-water fertilizer idea. We have no shortage of weeds. I wanted to throw them on the compost pile but I keep finding picky composters saying you shouldn't put seeding or flowering weeds on the pile. I don't feel like "separating" my weeds! I've got enough work already. Your idea is great. I'm slowly working my way through your videos starting from the very first ones. They're wonderful and very inspiring!

[lifeisshortiamnot]

can I use dog poop? I'm in the Bahamas.

[theproducegarden]

i wouldnt myself, cats are too prone to worms and other micro organisms

[brandon1311]

this help my ganja crop

[cwaj]

Can this be done with chicken poop?

[theproducegarden]

if they were organic scraps u could try, i dont think they would give u much substance, make em into compost!

[bigredshoe]

Hi Great video! Was wondering about the weed tea, Would you get a similar result if you used vegetable waste and left it soaking in water for a couple of weeks? If so, would you get better the longer you left it? Or, at some point would it become detrimental to pour it on you plants?

Just thinking out loud really but if you have any thought would be great to hear them.

[theproducegarden]

i guess you could use deer, i dont see why not, herbivores produce the best manure for gardens, give it a go i reckon!

[pigiondude]

producegarden,

whats the chance of passing on toxicity or damaging hormones from the weeds that could wind up in the tea?

[savings2start]

I LOVE your youtube how to videos. I was wondering if you could help me with this question? I saw you used sheep manure and was wondering if the same good outcome could come from deer manure? We must have hundreds of deer where I live in texas. Any help would be just great!

[MomLovesMeBetter]

Thanks! my tomatoes are growing amazingly because of your advice. I hope you make some more videos soon!

[penguin3698]

Thanks for taking the time to do these; we have an allotment in England and are finding you very useful. Happy growing! Linda

[PrisonerInGlass]

A tip for the manure: what you can do with the manure to save a bit of the liquid and make for easy separation is use a pillowcase to fill with manure, and let it steep to make a sort of manure tea. The pillowcase makes the manure a one-step separation process, after you pull out the pillowcase, the tea is left! Good fertilizer. :)

[dionysusstar]

I never heard of the weed tea...but it does make sense. Thanks for the tips.
