🌱Grow Your Own Microbes: The DIY Secret to Supercharging Your Soil - How to S3E14🌿
Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to Episode 14 of Series 3 of the “How To Do It” video series.
This week, we’re going to dig deeper—literally—into the microscopic workforce that drives soil performance.
Microbial inoculants are the game-changers in Nutrition Farming. These invisible allies fix nitrogen, release locked-up minerals, control pathogens, build soil structure, and buffer stress. Yet, most growers still rely on store-bought versions or overdosing compost in the hope of introducing biology.
In this episode, we’ll uncover the art and science of multiplying microbes on-farm. I’ll introduce you to two proven systems—the Johnson-Su bioreactor and our own BAM Compost system—designed to grow diverse, functional microbial communities at low cost. I’ll also share a DIY method to build your own compost extract brewer with basic tools and local materials.
Too much compost? Yes, it’s a thing. I’ll show you how compost over-application can blow potassium levels, shutting down calcium and throwing your soil balance into chaos. The solution? Targeted biology, not bulk inputs.
This episode is practical, packed with proven techniques, and driven by the belief that soil life is the foundation of plant and human health.
Wishing you vibrant microbes and a deeply enriching Nutrition Farming journey!
Warm regards,
Graeme Sait
