How To Use Liquid Natural Fertilizers Properly - JADAM JLF

Alright my friends, so I've been getting a lot of questions about how to use the natural fertilizers. So in this video I'm going to explain to you exactly what you need to know to use all the fertilizers that I've already put on the channel and the many more that I will be putting on the channel. Okay, so listen up. Now the first thing we have to understand a little bit of preliminary knowledge and that is how a natural fertilizer works compared to a chemical fertilizer. So when you go to the store and you buy a a normal chemical fertilizer, something with numbers on it like a 20-20-20 or a bloom booster at 0-52-10 and it's got chemical ingredients in it. Now this has been designed in a laboratory by man to bypass the natural system that exists in the soil and to go directly to the plant. So the natural way of things is things organic matter falls onto the soil microorganisms decompose it and this is a complex beautifully perfect process to where the smaller microorganisms eat the bacteria and the fungi they decompose it and then protozoa nematodes which are larger they come and eat the bacteria and the fungi and then larger things come and eat them. Okay and each step along the way this process releases nutrients that the plant can use because the plant roots cannot directly absorb anything that is in the soil directly. It has to first be processed through the soil food web and microorganisms. Now chemical fertilizers have come up with a way to completely bypass this so it it doesn't look for example here is some because I also use some of this for certain plants indoors or only I do lots of experimentations and but this is nothing that I will eat anything I put this on. So for example this you can look at the ingredients if you're not sure if you have a chemical fertilizer or not look at the ingredients ammonium phosphate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium nitrate, magnesium sulfate, potassium carbonate, potassium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate, and potassium sulfate. Every one of those is a hardcore chemical most of them petroleum-based. Now they have been designed by the laboratory by the mind of man to bypass that natural system that exists in the soil and to feed the plant directly which is not what we want to do we feed the soil not the plant but these so therefore you have to measure them very carefully you have to measure them with something like this a little milliliter dropper because you you have to use exactly the right proportion of this kind of stuff of any chemical-based fertilizer otherwise you run the risk or you will burn the plant meaning that the plant absorbs nutrients because the plant tissue holds a higher concentration of salts in its tissue than in the surrounding environment and that enables because there's more salt in the plant tissue in the roots that enables it to draw up moisture and nutrients through osmosis okay but this if we add the salts to the soil the concentration of salt becomes greater outside the plant than inside the plant root and so therefore it will actually draw moisture and nutrients out of the plant and you will see it at the the farthest area from the roots the tips of the leaves will start to die and turn brown and we call this burning the plant okay so how do we hedge against this how do we guarantee that we don't have to worry about any of that we use the natural fertilizers all right so when we use natural fertilizers we are actually feeding the soil not the plant so we don't have to be that concerned with dosages it doesn't matter nearly like it does with using this kind of stuff so for example let me just give you an example if you're using the j-dom natural fertilizer the grass and the leaf mold fertilizer and you've got something like this i would say start out with a liter this is two and a half gallons you can start out with a liter of the natural grass fertilizer fill it the rest of the way with the water and water your plants okay if you have a bigger surface to do like a 55 gallon drum you could put a whole five gallon bucket into the 55 gallon drum and fill it up with water there you go 50 gallons of water five gallons of liquid fertilizer okay so or you can you could simply put a cup into here that would still help all right now if it's the fertilizers that are geared more towards like nitrogen or growth okay then like the urine urea fertilizer you want to start off with smaller amounts of that okay so if we had for example the fish fertilizer we want to use an ounce or two per gallon so we put four of these maximum into this thing of the fish fertilizer or of the urea fertilizer we would put maximum this into this whole thing and then we would water the plants and see how they respond now the reason that it doesn't matter that much with the concentrations is because there's no real risk of burning the plants with the natural fertilizers so start off with a like a 1 to 30 with the the grass fertilizer or or many of the other fertilizers i'll show you but then the concentrated fertilizers just basically just the fish and the urea fertilizers are the only two that you really have to use in small amounts but even if you did use this much of the fish fertilizer it wouldn't burn the plants it would be fine it would just be kind of wasteful that's the main thing so because it's unnecessary because what the fish fertilizer does is it feeds the community of microorganisms and it nourishes them in particular the fungal the fungi they like the the proteins that have been digested and decomposed in the fish okay so just as a general rule we'll say start off with one cup per gallon of water once a week that's what you want to begin with feed them to your plants once a week the rest of the time is water then if if if you're growing in poor soil you can up it to two cups per gallon twice a week you could do it like that as well and if you then you should see that the growth the plants should look healthy all right so you can you want to train your eye and you'll get good at this with time to be able to see and recognize a healthy plant a vibrant plant that is that has got all the elements that it needs as opposed to a plant that is just surviving there's a huge difference between a plant that is surviving and thriving okay so we want to make sure that the plants are thriving and with the natural fertilizers that's what we're going to do because it's balanced so we don't have to really even though i will say things like this is a nitrogen fertilizer or this is for a growth fertilizer that's that's sort of relative i mean yes the urea has mostly nitrogen in it but it also has many other things the fish fertilizer has nitrogen but it also has lots of calcium and phosphorus from the bones so the natural fertilizers are balanced and that's what it's all about we have to maintain nutritional balance in the soil and another question i get is about the anaerobic decomposition process and i'll make a video specifically addressing this but the short answer is that's nothing to worry about my friends actually we want the anaerobic decomposition process because we know in our in our food supply that light and air degrade the nutrients in the food right it breaks it down much faster and so we want it to be without air and in the dark and it's the same with the plants so we decompose it anaerobically there's nothing to fear all the good microbes and the bad microbes exist in harmony and balance they keep each other in check don't don't even go down the road of thinking that you have to separate the good ones from the bad ones the human mind cannot even begin to understand the unimaginable complexity that is involved in the perfection of nature so work with the perfection and not against it by thinking that we can selectively add certain things and take out certain things holistically balanced that's what it's all about so okay and one of the most important aspects of this whole process to understand my friends is this that nature the ultimate designer the mother has already designed the perfect system for delivering nutrient dense food to our bodies we are of nature we are still in the cycle we are nature okay we're not separate in any way so the system that nature has designed for us to thrive requires the soil food web all of the activity that happens there the universe the whole rainforest of microorganisms in a teaspoon of soil that produces food that is dense and rich in nutrients and therefore flavor flavor is an indicator of nutrient density in organically produced stuff so we use stuff like this even though it is in a form that is immediately usable by the plants it bypasses the whole community of microorganisms and it starves them to death in the process that's why it's such an issue but even though it goes directly to the plant and the plant can absorb it and it looks healthy and it appears healthy and even the produce will be colorful from this it doesn't have that same nutrient density or the same flavor and it definitely doesn't have the same life force energy that nice organically produced naturally grown produce has and we then consume that nutrient dense rich wonderful produce and it gives us abounding health this stuff can never give anything abounding health use the natural fertilizers feed your feed the soil not the plants and you will have success now let me know if you have any more questions i'm sure i missed some certain things on this but don't be too concerned with how much of this stuff okay so just start off i mean start off with a cup of like i already told you okay so all right my friends
