How to make your own organic fertilizer

[snickersisdead101]

can i use worms i get from bait shops?

[GillyweedSeed]

Thanks. This is the first video I've ever watched about fertilizer, the first of many as I begin this journey to learn how to remineralize the soil. It may be dangerous to eat soy, but not to use it in your fertilizer mixture?

These tiny creatures are microbes, or, as we call them, “the guys”. The guys consist of beneficial bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa. They all work together to build the soil, digest organic matter, make nutrients more available to plants and to actually make nutrients through interactions with water and air. They also do the very important job of crowding out, and sometimes eating, harmful microorganisms that cause disease. In soil their work is all encompassing and genuinely magical.

yep yep,, your are right. thanks for the correction.

im just getting old i guess

[TheBaberbie]

mycorrhizae are fungi, not bacteria

[invisiblegardener]

sure you can, can be a bit messy. i used to make my own. just run it thru a blender

[2000iktome]

I just got some compost and some fish stuff from 'the online greenhouse', can I make my own fish emulsion if i wanted?

[invisiblegardener]

Yes, you can buy soybeans, grind them into a fine powder

[opalwine]

Excellent video, good examples and well explained. thanks for uploading and look forward to seeing more tips.

@julienyanelle

[samann95014]

why human castings are no good. what can we do to convert it good?

[invisiblegardener]

@samann95014

you can if your a vegan

[ColtyZoltog]

@samann95014

Even If your a vegan humans still produce fecal coli-forms or the ecoli bacteria, it is possible to use human excretement but the "human casting" would have to be sterilized to a specific temperature to eliminate the bacteria in the decompostion process or composting.

What if I have some fish heads left over from this morning, how can I turn those into nutrients? Soak them in water and use the water or what? All help appreciated, thanks.

[invisiblegardener]

@bobbyesterly

1.compost by grinding first

2. grind then add water then use a small mount on plants

3. bury then plant on top

[invisiblegardener]

any type of animal manure is good, just compost it before using....

[1fanstockmister]

wow you gave out a lot of free info thanks you 5 stars

[invisiblegardener]

excellent of course

[Jinete28]

what about cow and horse manure, I have a lot of it, and no one uses it. I used it last year and got a really good crop, I seed corn and milo sorghum.

[blabityblabblab]

@Jinete28 - he said the smallest was the worms & largest was elephant... i think horses & cows are between those & are fine! also, sheep, goat & bunny manure are excellent.

[invisiblegardener]

@blabityblabblab

dont forget llama manure too

[invisiblegardener]

@blabityblabblab

I never meant to say those inbetween are not good because they are. all animal manure except for predators can be used.

thanks for the reply...

[invisiblegardener]

@Jinete28

yes there are great too. I would ad rock dust to make em even better.

[theracemixer]

@invisiblegardener

Can just buy soybeans from the store, blend it into powder and use it as an additive to compost tea ?

My aim is to get as many bacteria as i can.

[andreilucaci81]

@Jinete28 horse manure is the best
