A DIY guide to making the best organic fertilizer for FREE, using Urine and Worm Tea! Don't store your urine to long, or it will start to smell. Put any excess urine on your compost pile. ( Although apparent longer term storage with tanks is possible ) NPK of typical urine is 11-1-2 but can vary depending on what you have consumed to perhaps 15-1-2. Some composting toilets actually have urine diverting systems built in enabling urine collection for fertilization purposes. Once you have mixed your worm-tea and urine simply apply with a waterer or sprayer. Worm tea acts as a natural innoculant for your plants.

One of my goals when I started this channel earlier this year was to show that you can grow a lot of food without spending much money. Our biological approach to improving soil fertility - which relies primarily on compost, vermicompost, mulch, and compost tea - costs almost nothing. Saving seeds also helps us keep our costs down. Despite these savings, we do have gardening expenses, and this video gives a quick overview of what we purchased for the garden in 2013. One Yard Revolution is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.

Peanuts The peanut, or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), is a species in the legume or "bean" family (Fabaceae). The peanut was probably first domesticated and cultivated in the valleys of Paraguay. It is an annual herbaceous plant growing 30 to 50 cm (1.0 to 1.6 ft) tall. The leaves are opposite, pinnate with four leaflets (two opposite pairs; no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 1 to 7 cm (⅜ to 2¾ in) long and 1 to 3 cm (⅜ to 1 inch) broad. The flowers are a typical peaflower in shape, 2 to 4 cm (0.8 to 1.6 in) (¾ to 1½ in) across, yellow with reddish veining. Hypogaea means "under the earth"; after pollination, the flower stalk elongates causing it to bend until the ovary touches the ground. Continued stalk growth then pushes the ovary underground where the mature fruit develops into a legume pod, the peanut -- a classical example of geocarpy. Pods are 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) long, containing 1 to 4 seeds. Peanuts are known by many other local names such as earthnuts, ground nuts, goober peas, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts.Despite its name and appearance, the peanut is not a nut, but rather a legume. The domesticated peanut is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid, meaning that it has two sets of chromosomes from two different species, thought to be A. duranensis and A. ipaensis. These likely combined in the wild to form the tetraploid species A. monticola, which gave rise to the domesticated peanut. This domestication might have taken place in Paraguay or Bolivia, where the wildest strains grow today. Many pre-Columbian cultures, such as the Moche, depicted peanuts in their art. Archeologists have dated the oldest specimens to about 7,600 years, found in Peru.Cultivation spread as far as Mesoamerica, where the Spanish conquistadors found the tlalcacahuatl (Nahuatl = "peanut", whence Mexican Spanish, cacahuate and French, cacahuète) being offered for sale in the marketplace of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City). The plant was later spread worldwide by European traders. Although the peanut was mainly a garden crop for much of the colonial period of North America, it was mostly used as animal feed stock until the 1930s.In the United States, a US Department of Agriculture program (see below) to encourage agricultural production and human consumption of peanuts was instituted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George Washington Carver is well known for his participation in that program in which he developed hundreds of recipes for peanuts. Copyrights : MrZygy3

Every January through March our pine trees get shaken until they let their pine cones fall to the ground for us to collect by hand, put into trucks, and send off to a factory that processes them. The final product? Lovely white pine nuts that everyone adores for making pesto, fancying up a salad, and decorating the tops of pastries. This beautiful 13 ton machine functions using oil pressure to maneuver the pincer, which grabs the tree near the base. Then, when the pincer is securely clamping the tree, by applying gas the tree gets shaken. The tree must be shaken slowly at first and then be given a faster shake twice for five to ten seconds. Then that's enough. What doesn't fall from the tree is left without insisting further. For more information, visit us at: www.tenutasancarlo.com

Every wet season in the Western Amazon, Peru's castañeros (brazil nut concession holders and harvesters) gather the huge brazil nut fruits from the forest floor, crack them open to extract the nuts inside, and carry them out of the forest to market. It's physically hard, and there are dangers -- from wild animals to falling nuts. But owning a Brazil nut concession is also a responsibility: owners have to defend their forest from incursions by Brazil nut thieves or illegal loggers. Every Brazil nut you've ever eaten was gathered from the Amazon rainforest by a castañero -- and they want you to know more about their lives. To learn more, and for more stories of CIFOR's work in the Amazon, visit http://blog.cifor.org/amazon MUSIC: Special thanks to composer Oscar Alberto Macedo Mejia for allowing us to use his song "Rio Madre de Dios" from an album composed for the centenary of Madre de Dios.

Build a ( DIY ) cheap greenhouse with mostly left over materials. I'm Hoping to grow all organic food and become self sufficient eventually. Only took me about a day to construct once I gathered all materials. Here is the link for my follow up video to show updates to this greenhouse! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmJMe85_pfM To do this even cheaper, you could skip the wood on the ends, and just cover it in plastic or use pallets that you can many times get for free. You could also forgo the metal frames, and use 1" PVC that would make it lighter and more mobile. "Rather well," was my catch phrase of the day...lol All I have left to install is an internal heat source, which will be a wood fired rocket stove that uses 1/3 the amount of fuel as a typical stove. To preserve the wood I used propylene glycol ( Pink RV Antifreeze that you can drink ) In the video you can also see my worm bins & temporary chicken coop. I hope to grow majority of my own food. It is healthier and cheaper. The food will have no pesticides or preservatives; organic. I can also eat it fresh, meaning the day its picked vs weeks or months old (supermarket). Fresh food has more life energy. This is just another piece in the puzzle on the road to self sufficiency. Thanks for watching and please comment!
