I've seen another video that explained this process very well and simply, but I'm a visual learner so your video just took my understanding of it all to another level I didn't think was possible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[hfestion.]

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart

[andrejzalec]

My dear friend from the other side of the world. Your effort and your knowledge, not only about nature but also about recording videos and explaining them is a top performance (if I may, I would compare it to the best shows on the BBC). You are a person who brightens not only our day but every day when we can watch your energy in our garden. Receive a bear hug from EU Slovenia.🥰😜🌱🪴🍀🌿🍉🍒🍎🌽

I have been doing the banana water for about a year, it really works great, the longer it ferments the better. So don’t throw away your brown bananas.

[anniecochrane]

Gonna have to watch twice - this first time for the pure joy of watching your artFull presentation, the second to get the information down. thank you on both counts!!

What a pleasure to watch; you do such incredible productions. Of the gardening mistakes I made this year, I am aware of 25 of them. Thank you so much for this one. I started 7 days ago and ready to add milk to my mixture. As I have a large document that contains all of my gardening information, I added your soil mixture to it...and wanted to share it, should it benefit you or other gardeners. I hope I understood your instructions correctly. Soil Bacteria (The Weedy Garden) - Making soil bacteria can take from 9-21 days.
 Start with ½ gallon (2 liters) of clean water (remove the chlorine and ammonia). Possibly consider using rain water?
 Add Rice - Mix 2.1 cups (1/2 kilo) of white starchy rice into the water and let it sit for a while (overnight). What you have primarily in the water is lactobacillus bacteria….a good thing
o Strain out the rice; you are left with milky looking water. Cover the top of the container with a cloth covering and place a rubber band around it the edges.
o Let it Stew - Place the container in a dark area for about 3-7 days (when the mixture smells sweet, its ready).
 Add Milk - In order to separate any bad bacteria contained in the mixture, add a little over 4.2 cups (1 liter) of organic cow milk (full cream, and or pasteurized and homogenized cow milk).
o Let it Stew - Place the mixture back in the dark for 3-7 days.
 Remove the Kurds - At this point, remove the curds at the top and using the cloth.
 Add Molasses - Take 1 cup (250 ml) of whey, together with 1 cup (250 ml) of molasses, and add it to 2.6 gallons (10 liters) of clean water (rain water if possible). Note, use molasses without Sulphur, or brown or raw sugar.
o Let it Stew - Stir the mixture up and let it sit for 7 days.
 Create the Mother Brew – Take 4.2 cups (1 liter) of the mixture and place it in the fridge.
 Preparing the Soil Bacteria for Garden Use. Take 3.4 ounces (100 ml) of the soil bacteria and add it to 2.6 gallons (10 liters) of clean water.
o For a standard 25-gallon drum (94.6 liters), take 33 ounces of the soil bacteria and add it to 25 gallons of clean water.
o Storage – To avoid high temperatures which can kill the bacteria, place the drum in a shady / cool area.

Conversions
100 milliliters = 3.4 ounces (less than 1/2 cup)
½ cup = 4 ounces
250 milliliters = 1 cup
½ kilogram = 2.1 cups
1 liter = 4.2 cups
40 ounces = 5 cups
10 liters = 2.6 gallons
100 liters = 26.4 gallons

This must be the longest video of your channel but i love every detail and the effort you put into it. It's great and that bana smoothie i have tried it myself it's relly good.

[windmillcancersurvivor]

I admire you sir for the amazing content you provide for those of us who grow.

[courtneyheron]

Incredible style!!! You are an expert at putting videos together. The best I’ve seen for my tastes! Love your creative flair. Such a pleasure to watch. Very inspiring. Thank you 🙏 😊❤️

[JACKSPARROW-iyrw]

Thank you so much for the recepie

[valgeir]

Excellent. Parallels could be drawn with the human gut biome. Very informative and relaxing. Thank you for your videos.

I learned to grow and build some of the healthiest soil in the world through clackamas coots, originally a cannabis connoisseur but his passion for the herb and organics lead him to be one of the leading experts on no-till/no-dig gardening, KNF(korean natural farming) and "living soil" I never knew tomatoes could be as sweet as a plum until i got into this way. I would look into SST(seed sprout teas). They are game-changers, out of all applications you could do in organic gardening, not many come close to live enzyme teas. Great video as always <3 I trust in time I will also be able to live around those areas where life is sweet and beautiful. I've been to mullum, its beautiful, I hope to find land one day.
