In this video we show how we make our most powerful fertilizer using chicken manure and biochar. We go through the inoculation process, share our special recipe and explain how to apply it. We are amazed at how well this worked on our lemon tree, it has grow at least 4ft. in less then 2 years and is loaded with lemons!!

The chicken roost over the biochar is genius!

@matthewkauffmann982 3 месяца назад

I do something similar but we have 5x10 PVC coops. Fill the whole bottom with char and let them crap for months. Load the char into 55 gal drums, add piss, coffee grounds and compost. Stir and soak awhile. So far so good trees look healthy.

Definitely gonna have to give this a try! Thanks for all the knowledge, love how you guys work together. Will be on the lookout for that tasty Rollinia! Mahalo from lower Puna!

How do you crush your char?

@MistressOP 3 месяца назад

for a second I thought you were making biochar from chicken manure lol like some of the Uni's where pushing in the south. good vid.

@OffGridHawaii 3 месяца назад

I’ve heard of that. Seems like a waste of fertilizer 🤔

@MistressOP 3 месяца назад

@@OffGridHawaii basically it's nuts. Biogas should have been what they were pushing. But leave it to southern univ to push for the chem / big pharma solutions lol. I know a lot of people don't want compost from these big producers anymore because of forever chems they barely pay attention to. ruined a lot of land.

@@OffGridHawaii It's not a bad idea as it's seem depending on the context. Manure from Industrial farming contains a significant amount of heavy metal, antibiotic residue and even steroid making them unsuitable for composting. Burning chicken manure into biochar destroy these residues and makes the heavy metal hard to dissolve meaning they won't leach into the soil. You will lose a majority of the nitrogen but the phosphate and potassium component will remain the same.

This is great and I have most of these ingredients just lying around. 😁 Cant wait to test with my fruit trees. Can this be spread on top of the soil if the tree is already planted? What percentage would you apply in a veggie garden? Thanks much gor this video! 👍

@OffGridHawaii 3 месяца назад

Yes, just cover it with mulch. It can also be injected into soil by making a 1-2 ft deep holes 1 inch in diameter and filling them with the biochar.

@tworkstuffs 3 месяца назад

Nice. I appreciate the reply. What about using this on veggies? How would you measure it out?

@OffGridHawaii 3 месяца назад

You can use it at the same ratio 5-10% definitely do more research about how it works with the veggie crops you want to grow.

@tworkstuffs 3 месяца назад

Will do! Thanks a bunch!

Love the video. I agree with you that bio char does not function the same in all soils. In tropical areas the nutrient holding capacity is key, as it was used in south America in the tera preta. In denser clay soils i still think it can be useful but for different reasons. I still use on my dense soils in a similar fashion as you but i think the bio char is helpful to adsorb toxins, not hold nutrients or beneficial microbes. Activated charcoal is known to adsorb toxins, heavy metals etc and used in emergency rooms for anti poison procedures. Used in conjunction with manures and compost it can bind to heavy metals and chemicals making them less bio available to our plants.

What do you guys do about insecticide? Have you tried Diatomaceous earth diluted with a drop of dish soap and spraying it. ?

@OffGridHawaii 4 месяца назад

We don’t really do anything. I’ve heard of using those things but haven’t really tried it.

@minhducnguyen9276 3 месяца назад

The biochar would absorb the insecticide. So it's actually benefits for the soil. If you are concerned about insecticide coming from the feed material, most insecticide are organic chemicals and will break down at high temperature during the pyrolysis process.

Thank you God bless you Maranatha

@thomasreto2997 4 месяца назад

Pretty cool. I wanna use some guava wood to make it. Gotta dry it under house. Also it isn't a hardwood Any wood you recommend.

@OffGridHawaii 4 месяца назад

We use mostly ohia

@taylortseu2960 4 месяца назад

Could you use Alaska fish emulsion instead of the fish hydrolysate powder? Reason being that it is cheaper😅

@OffGridHawaii 4 месяца назад

I don’t think it would work as a fungal food because the fats and oils are removed with emulsion, but it would still have the benefit of adding different nutrients.

@taylortseu2960 4 месяца назад

Thanks for your expertise - great videos!

@dudeleboski2692 3 месяца назад

Mike, what is bio char?

@OffGridHawaii 3 месяца назад

Biochar is made by burning wood in low oxygen.
