grow fruit thing chicken is the best. cow for leafy greens. need more other sources for boosting fruits plant if useing cow.
I've known people who uses their own urine as fertilizer and their plants are lush, healthy and green. I think that's that safest form of animal based fertilizer you can get. After all, it is human urine and human foods and water has way less toxic chemical contaminations than farm animal feeds and water. Never use farm animal manure as fertilizer.
guy, you give good info but please try to stick to the point !!!!! thanks
What we do is we put all cow poos in one spot and over a time like 2 years fertilizer is ready, we mix them with soil and veggie grow well. By the way our cows eat only grass😝
Hi John, Luke from MI Gardener is trying to get with you and a lot of us are hoping you two can get together to do a video. Would appreciate it if you would consider it! Super Siked about this idea! you both have great information and share much of the same ideas.
& i quote in nature theirs no gardens growing in raised beds of cow shit…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 #done
WHOA SPEED READER!! HUH?! WHAT?!😯😯😯
uncomposted manure (and I mean composted properly is bad enough without herbicide
This guy talks way to damn much in all his eff'n videos. He loves to hear himself! He baits you in with a good title, then bumps his damn gums through 3/4 of the video before he gets to the subject.
Why cant Americans speak proper English????
Herbicide transfer from cow manure is a myth. If herbicides were a problem in commercial manure then Commerical farmers that produce most of our food would stop using it.
Further, Chemical fertilizers are not any less safe than organic fertilizers. The chemical composition of the nutrients in both are exactly the same.
Love your videos! How often should I apply cow dung to my vegetable garden?
Awesome looking pepper patch ya got there! I am happy to see that you have them so closely together, I have about 72 peppers to plant this year I am going to try and jam as many in as I can!
Sir hum odr dale but neem oil nahi hai
Aur ab seeds konse le sakte ye season k liy
You do not have to get cow manure. There are tons of others. This guy is a joke.
Rambling guy can't get to the point or answer concisely.
Do you use biological pest control? Nematodes, encarsia, ladybird's etc?
people mainly are not informed what is cow dung. Cow dung is not like dog stool or any other feces. Cow dung is pure. If you have a cut in your leg and put a bandage with cow dung on it it will heal quickly without infection. Cow dung is antibacterial so to speak
I don't usually leave negative comments but he said so much at the beginning that had nothing to do with the title of the video.
Thanks Bridget..jee wiz
Way too much talking, get to the point already.
“Growing the cows”
We raise cows not grow them they’re not plants 😂
Monsanto black ops helicopter coming for ya!
Depends on what vegetable it is but it's more for grass
Do you want the answers?
Will the peppers cross pollinate or whatever its called lol and possibly get hotter from the world hottest pepper?
Can I use cow manure for my cannabis growing super soi mix

Plant compost is just insect manure. I agree with your contamination concerns, but I don't think worm droppings are that different from cow, chemically.
Great explanation of the source of manure. I am guessing on a lawn would be OK, but not on a garden of food source.
thank you,
Kirk
What happened if plant grows very nice and after stop growing I put new soil and putting on enough water but still not working all cilantro and basil and other all herb not growing please give me advise but I m doing wrong
i don't like how this guy is shitting on manure (get it ?) but fr it actually annoys me a little
The reality is most contaminated produce is from the field workers pissing and shitting out in the field, not from composted manure. Manure has been used for centuries to grow plants, its fine. You just don't want to use hot manure, which you wouldn't get anyways unless you lived on a farm. I get wanting to grow organic, and I do enjoy some of the videos on this channel, but a lot of the things this guy says are outright lies and totally uninformed, lazy misinformation.
Hi John. You mentioned about a diet very quickly that helps with cancer. Could you please explain what diet it is. My mom has terminal cancer and I would like to get the diet that would help her.
I’m in Sacramento area (9b). We have raised cinder block garden beds. We’re having a really hard time with Squash and Zucchini. Even our peppers are not great. Was doing great with cucumbers, but it appears they have started to slow down. We used to have a hard time with Basil, but this season we’re doing good. We get everything from Green Acres in Roseville. Aphids are one of our problems. Any suggestions on how to help my zucchini?
Gosh get to the point
I have been composting for 50 years. Started at 26, Am now 76. I have heard the term, Killer compost only in the past 6 months. Is this some collage kids NEW term or have I just been out of touch with the rest of the world for a while. Herbicide, Sprayed on a grass pasture then later eaten by animals . And, or cut for hay and fed to animals, contaminating the manure to make “KILLER COM{POST”. SO !! Everyone believes this B/S , Because it’s on the internet. And everyone KNOWS , “IF IT’S on the NET , it HAS TO BE THE TRUTH”
Herbicides, creating KILLER COMPOST is a B/S advertising gimmick. Thought up by the advertising Co. for a commercial composting Co. to get people to buy their product. All you need to do, is use a little common sense. And think for ONE minute. “IF” A Herbicide Co. WERE to be Stupid enough to make a Herbicide that lasted. HOW MUCH Herbicide, would they sell ??? Most Herbicides are designed to neutralize in one week to ten days. Any thing that lasts over two weeks is Highly controlled. You have to fill out forms proving you need it for a special reason. Other than farming. . . .K I L L E R , C O M P O S T . Sounds like the guy that poured salt around his watermelon plants , thinking he would not haver to add salt when he eat the melons.
We use only our cattle & sheep manure compost, it's organic, no fertilizers etc. People all want organic and that's simply not possible. I would not buy corporate or anyones manure as honesty today is gone by the wayside so I recomment, when possible, people move to rural areas and grow and raise their own animals for organic food. Our health is being severely compromised and having a small farm is safest & not much money is spent growing with it.
One thing I don't understand is that our yields are smaller than what I see on yt organic gardening. Then I see most are adding store products…bonemeal…bloodmeal, um, that's not organic as again, it's a trust issue. I'd rather go to the forest and collect compost there than buy anything, but that's just me.
Great information that I did not know about manure! Thank you.
You can go 100% organic but man, the planes and helicopters you've got going on over you sounds like a war zone. But… You gave me a lot to think about. I just bought cow manure today and it's going back. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Worm castings from trench composting! Bury your left over food scraps in your garden beds from fall & winter. Let the worms break it down & watch how well your veggies grow in those boxes in spring!
This year I got two scoops of composted cow manure, I spread it on my front lawn about a month ago. I just had to mow for the first time, my lawn is the greenest and thickest it has ever been. We had a lot of snow though, I have a smaller pile in my garden and have been tilling it in to my soil. So far so good. One time I had to install an over head crane at the sanitation department, I saw the trucks leaving with the human waste (metrogrow) they say they don't use it on human food I don't believe them.
You talk to much cut the shit and talk about cow shit
Uhh….if you're imitating nature, HOW MANY coconut trees are in the continental U.S.A.??
Cow and chicken manure has been used since the dawn of time.
We have cows behind our house. Country side. There is patties everywhere. Plus dry ones.
Cow's have two stomach's so it's a great thing to use for your garden
Just like someone from the City don't know jack sqwaut about growing a garden
