Could you feed your plants without buying any fertilizer?
This is how we feed a garden for free with fermented plant juice, AKA Dave’s Fetid Swamp Water. I thought I was clever, but the Koreans were hundreds of years ahead of me.

Can you measure how much nutrient is in the solution with an ec meter ?
“Your plants don’t have noses!”

Oh my gosh, the dying bit was hilarious! Why would people think you would die?!
The only problem about this method that I don’t like and is hard to deal with is the smell.
Why would anyone think you could die from a compost tea? Farmer's use much harsher chemicals and even cow shit. I'm pretty sure eating shit isn't very healthy? But the plants filter the shit out. It's not in the literally in the plant. C'mon man. What do you think is in grocery store food?
Hi David, can I use this on Macadamia and coffee plantations? Thank you so much
At what stage would you consider adding char to your swamp water?
Ive been adding the fines(- #12screen0.084"/~2mm down to powered) the char absorbs the gasses produced retaining there nutrient components preventing the gasses from getting trapped and lifting the rotting mass up out of the water.
2) what to do with smells ? My knose purity well dosnt work so not my problem , but my down wind nabors have knoticed enough to coment and ask what up to.
Lol, I love his name for it! "Dave's Fetid Swamp Water" 🤣
Yes. I know it's a year old.
There was a program called Beyond 2000. One episode had a guy doing this but he put meat, bones and everything into it.
Once it starts it'll breakdown most anything.
Found it very helpful
THIS IS SOMETHING VERY NEW TO ME. Thanks
I like this idea 💪

Is lemon and orange peel good. Or is acidic food harmful?
Your curating healthy 🪴juice for your plants to drink essentially😏
Ohhhhhh my goodness 😊you!!! Have made this SO SIMPLE!!! Man… I’ve had a headache over this for months… killed my fledgling green beans by putting grass clippings on them… 😮💨
Who knew? They- don’t like nitrogen?! What the??
I’m doing THIS!! Bless you brother… whewwwww. I feel so stupid!!!😩
Nice! My compost bin is full of black goo and insects and i just put a water hose in the bin to add a bit of water and keep a bucket underneath the compost bin. Then i collect the black compost water that comes out. I call it compost tea but maybe it's somewhere nearer to fetid swamp water. Then i just dilute it a bit and water the plants. Using it in my hemp garden and the plants seem to love it. Made good medicine last year and I'm looking forward to harvest this year. Cheers to everyone out there enjoying their gardens.
is it okay to put poo and pee pee in the solution?
Thanks its helpful. could you please becoming as USAID CRS Farmer-to Farmer volunteer. Thanks
good stuff that technically jadam not knf and as far as getting sick from this… not gonna happen unless u drink the water the microbes in the soil to work to kill off bad bacteria
i personally like aerobic but since u cant store it this is always a fantastic back up
So, you don't dilute it at all?
And then pipe the gasses off and get free gas for cooking or heating:)
how would one apply to to organic lawn care? And how often? I assume since it is organic it would not burn the grass?
Can I spray it as foliar instead of top dressing on the soil?
oi!! would this type of
tea be good for my potted citrus plants?? Lime and blue berry plants
Can you add meat?
If I used this method would it attract cockroaches? Because of the bad smell
Came for the tips…..staued for the jokes 🤣 excellent advice thank you 😊
I take water right outta my swamp. air rate it.. n water my garden
Yesterday I had to pull a tomato plant that was not doing well–some kind of fungal wilt. Of course I didn't want to put it into the compost pile, but was wondering if it would be good in the swamp water bucket? Since the fungal infection is aerobic and rotting in the an anaerobic condition should kill the fungus. Any thoughts?
ours breeds mosquito
Anaerobic digestion will convert Nitrate (NO3-)aq to Nitrogen gas (N2)g. It will also smell bad. I do not recommend this method without an aerator. The air stones used for fish tanks work well for adding Oxygen.
I did something similar with Invasive aquatic plants And metric tons of River Nettles I used it on my dying Peachtrees And now in the same year I am eating peaches
Oh my gosh, I already loved this video and then I heard you say you’re gonna die no matter what you do and I cracked up😂😂😂😂 thank u for this info and comedic relief ❤
