Organic Composting In Thailand Video - day 464 Vermicomposting

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Finally got my video for the composting project. You will see two parts to this video. One section of the video covers the red worms compost project, and the other is the traditional pile compost method.
Red worm compost-
is a mixture of organic sheep/ goat dung
organic topsoil
vegetable / fruit waste

here is a little history and facts about red worm composting

-Worm composting (also known as vermicomposting) involves the breakdown of organic wastes via the joint action of worms and microorganisms (although there are often other critters that lend a hand)
-Worms can only take small particles in their small mouths. Microorganisms soften the food before worms will eat it. Worms have a muscular gizzard. Small parts of food mixed with some grinding material such as sand, topsoil or limestone is ingested. The contractions from the muscles in the gizzard compress those particles against each other, mix it with fluid, and grind it to smaller pieces.

What happens to food once it leaves the gizzard?
-The ground up food is mixed with enzymes in the worm’s intestine. This mixture breaks down the food, molecules pass through the intestine wall into the bloodstream for use where needed. Undigested material, including sand soil, bacterial and plant residues passes out of the worm as a worm casting.
-Composting worms are specialized surface dwellers (not burrowers), typically living in very rich organic matter such as manure, compost heaps or leaf litter
-It is widely believed that a composting worm can process the equivalent of it’s own weight in waste each day. Under highly optimum conditions (not likely to be attained with a small home system) red worms have been found to process multiple times their own weight! This is very much dependent on the food stock and how well managed the system is.
-Red worms technically graze on the microbial community that colonizes waste materials – not really the waste itself (although they certainly ingest some of the rotting waste in the process). Some research has indicated that protozoans are the primary food source, while there is also evidence that fungi and other microbes are consumed as well.

In this video you will see the results of the red worm compost mix after 5 days

In this video you will see the traditional pile composting method

BAT GUANO (DUNG) organic fertilizer

Friday, July 9th, 2010

batman
Guano (from the Quechua ‘wanu’, via Spanish) is the excrement (feces and urine) of seabirds, bats, and seals.[1] Guano manure is an effective fertilizer and gunpowder ingredient due to its high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen and also its lack of odor. Superphosphate made from guano is used for aerial topdressing. Soil that is deficient in organic matter can be made more productive by addition of this manure.

Back on today again…. Nice breakthrough today. I live right next to a giant cave in Northern Thailand. Of course this cave is full of bats. The more research I read about Bat dung the better. The local village people brought me over 10 full bags of it today! I placed this excrement onto some of my composting piles and will also use for worm composting! bats eat insects and produce excellent organic fertilizer in the process! The more organic fertilizer / compost I can prepare now the better!

Bat guano can be safely used as a fertilizer, both indoors and outdoors, and will benefit all growth of all plants.

Its primary ingredients are roughly 10% nitrogen(plants’ healthy green color and their rapid growth), 3% phosphorous(promotes root growth and flowering), and 1% potassium(strong stems). Slow release fertilizers that continues to work for the soil and plant.

Rich in bioremediation microbes, which clean up toxic substances.

When used as a foliar spray will help combat fungus.

Cycle of bat dung(guano) is:
1. bat eats insects
2. bats deposit dung on cave floor
3. ate again by beetles and microbes
4. results are a natural fertilizer

Different ways guano can be used are:
1. improves the richness and texture of soil
2. the bioremediation microbes clean up toxic spills on the soil
3. with a NPK of 10-3-1 it is a suitable fertilizer
4. placed on the lawn will bring about excellent growth and healthy appearance.
5. foliar feeding kills fungus
6. controls harmful nematodes in the soil.
7. excellent compost pile activator.

Video UPDATE- How to make Water Kefir Probiotic

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Im sure everyone has missed my video updates…. well im starting to feel better, so Im gonna bring the footage back!  I will post another video for my composting project, and my red worm composting project soon!  Im back in the game again!  it feels good to be alive! The positiveness has returned!  It was the hardest summer of my life (summer is over here in Thailand)  but its over now.

I am slowly back on my mountain bike and doing some small exercising on the ab chair for back and abs.

———————————————–

Hello everyone!  Steven is back and alive in the JUNGLE in Thailand.  This time I am speaking English with some instructions on making water kefir.  KICK ASS!  The probiotics are an excellent bacteria to add to the digestive tract.  In these modern days of ridiculous amounts of antibacterial drugs, this may be the only defense!  My doctors gave me antibiotics for years and almost killed me.  The purpose of the probiotic is to replenish these bacteria back into the gut!  Without these healthy bacteria we dont stand a chance at our health with all this modern day bullshit sickness and disease!  Remember, that disease harbors itself in a weak or unhealthy digestive system!

Dont buy probiotic from any corporate manufacturer!  The pills are not effective.  Neither are any processed yogurt claiming they have probiotic.  Grow it yourself organically and make sure you get the 100 percent benefits! you want something done right in this world, do it yourself.

These days even our honey bees are dying off because of antibiotics.  Their digestive systems are deteriorating from them as well! Take your life back and restore your digestive system with daily water kefir!

can you believe we are medicating honey bees?  where the fuck did we go wrong?

you cant just keep screwing mother nature…..  cant do it

Red worm composting

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Finally have some photos from the red worm composting project.  I mentioned b4… we have the concrete bins made.  By the red worms by the Kg, and mix them in the soil.  We mix organic goat dung, regular soil, and all the vegetable and fruit compost.  These worms will make this into castings within a few days.  Excellent way to may quick wonderful compost.  More photos and updates to come.

We keep a lid on the basin in order to keep it moist.  Its amazing what these worms can do-  I cant wait ttill try this new fertilizer!

20 day fast - THE RETURN OF THE STACHE!

Friday, May 21st, 2010

65.3 kg 143. 5 lbs. BP- 78 / 56 70

the long journey continues.

Up to 48 daily bee stings now. I alternate between stings on my back, ankles, knees.

Urine therapy is going well. (as well as it possibly can) I just finished reading a phenomenal book on this unique therapy. i will post a download to this ebook on my blog when I finish scanning the book. One of the best reads I have come across. I have begun massaging the urine into my pores all over my body now. This can be quite the strange feeling at first. The urea makes perhaps the best skin moisturizer in the world. Dead skin is just falling off my hands and feet. Its quite difficult to break the molded traditional thinking of urine as waste and as a dirty substance. Once you educate yourself on the wonderful properties this substance really has to offer, the ignorance fades away.
Physically I am very lethargic now. mentally i am hanging in there. IDue to popular demand, I have brought back the mustache. I accidentally cut it too short last time I attempted to trim it. Took me a while to grow it back out. hpim2856

KEEP THE MOUSTACHE?
Yes, spread some gypsy love!
No, you would never get laid in America
No, Get a haircut asshole!

  

11 days fast complete

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Weight 66.4 kg BP- 77/57 79

you remember that question when you were a kid….. if you were sick and dying, would you ________?

drink your own piss?

well, I am sick and dying…… hmmm lett me think about it ….. fuck it, pour me a warm glass please!

the new show rolls on. Yes life is a stage, and now my bumbling, toddering show rambles on, no doubt. Im focused and somewhat positive heading in this time around. Anytime youre not eating solid food, drinking your own urine, going to school, drinking three day old fermented carrot juice, wheat grass/ urine enemas, and deliberately stinging yourself with honeybees 25 X daily….. my party sucks…. No questions about this one. Dont bother coming to this party, no RSVP needed! hhahahah who could possibly accept invitation to this one? a swift kick to the groin sounds more appealing… Im not complaining just shedding light on the situation. One day soon I will look back on this point of my life and get a decent chuckle. Hopefully I will be writing my book by then and kicking ass with some oriental broads somewhere in the orient!
I feel like this fast isnt getting the best of me this time around. Last time around this point it started to become overwhelming. I think this time, Im just getting started. I am simply motivated now by just how sick I am. If I start to eat now, I will not digest. Therefore my plan is to heal my digestion and body now. There is no other option.

still doing 13 juices a day, coffee/ urine/ kefir/ and wheat grass enemas.

I wish I was dead!

BP-89/52 pulse 78 weight- 67.9 kg

I will be fasting again very soon….. I was hoping to wait till the middle of next month, but that simply cannot happen. I am not digesting any foods anymore…. how great this feeling is! I love it… I got a bunch of new food, had a wonderful cook come and teach new recipes, and I cant eat anyway! YAY! All this wonderful healing food and I cant eat any of it….. thats life, thats my life….
Ive had diarrhea for 10 days straight, Im dehydrated again, and have yet to properly digest any food since eating since my fast. Ive been vomiting, sweating at night, and just total body rejection from eating. Mentally I am not well, and physically Im not well. I hate fasting, I hate the idea of not eating, I hate the way I feel now….. The truth hurts….. Reality is getting to be a more difficult idea to grasp as everyday pushes forward. what else can I do at this point besides refrain from eating? why eat when you cant digest?

I am up to 8 bee stings every day now. I am concentrating on stinging mostly my knees and ankles now. This is where most of my pain and visible problems seem to be. The bees get mad when I take 8 of them from the hive. They have yet to sting me one time yet while im kidnapping them. Mom here got a few stings while manipulating the frame the other day.

On a positive note, the wheat grass project is going great. Glad that something is going well at this point of disaster. The wheat grass can assist in supplementing super powered nutrients to my ailing body. photo-0095

Very good news….

I received my Live Kefir probiotic in the mail today. I cant believe it arrived here so quickly! Only seven days from America! Anyway, it is part of a potential solution to my horrible digestion issues. It is quite apparent that after long term antibiotic use in my body, most of the beneficial bacteria were destroyed. Without these bacteria I dont stand a chance at proper digestion. Coupled with a mis-shapen colon constipation seems unavoidable. Therefore I will try and consume one liter of this Kefir water daily.
Here is a n article I found on the net that explains the kefir.

Here is a picture of my Kefir brewing away…. it will be ready in 2-3 days!  I use some carrot juice to facilitate the fermentation)

WATER KEFIR
What is Water Kefir?
there are actually 2 different types of Kefir: Milk and Water Kefir. Some recognize yet a 3rd type in Kombucha Tea, and call it Tea Kefir. Both Milk and Water Kefir are the same thing, Kefir, although adapted to grow on different culture media. Water Kefir grains are different from those of Milk Kefir: they are almost translucent and loose.
there are many people out there who either can’t or prefer not to take any milk, but would love to benefit of Kefir’s multiple healthy properties, for whom this type of Kefir deems ideal. Water Kefir can be taken in much more quantity than Milk Kefir (from 1 to 3 liters daily), and it is said that Water Kefir’s properties are far superior to those of Milk Kefir’s.
So now that you know about this other type of Kefir, you probably still don’t know what Kefir is. The word “Kefir” is thought to have originated from the Turkish word “Keif” which means “good feeling”. Kefir is a polysaccharide structure where several non-pathogenic, but friendly or healthy bacteria and yeast live in symbiosis. While Milk Kefir has been compared to yogurt, Kefir’s microflora is much more complex. The exact composition of microorganisms that form the grains usually varies slightly, depending on the media where they are cultured, and so Water and Milk Kefir differ in some microorganisms that may specifically grow on milk and not fruit, and the other way around. Also, depending on the fruits used to culture Water Kefir, we may be adding new friendly yeast and bacteria to our grains. Typical composition of Water Kefir grains is: Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus , Lactobacillus alactosus, Lactobacillus casei casei, Lactobacillus pseudoplantarum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus lactis, Streptococcus cremeris, Leuconostoc mesenteroide, Saccharomyces florentinus, Saccharomyces pretoriensis, Kloeckera apiculata, Candida lambica, Candida valida. s
What are the Health Benefits of Water Kefir?
Water Kefir, due to its diuretic, depurative and regenerative properties, can be of benefit in a broad variety of health conditions. It can only complement and help appropriate medical treatment due to its detoxifying and immunity-building effects.
As a natural product, Kefir works by slowly regulating the organism and helping it become healthier. Water Kefir can be indicated in nervous disorders, internal ulcers, bronchial catarrh, sclerosis, myocardial infarction, liver and gall bladder disorders, kidney problems, stomach and intestinal diseases, diarrhea or constipation, anemia, allergies, dermatitis and other skin problems such as eczema. It’s use on an ongoing basis proves to have excellent effects in convalescence after serious diseases. It can also help regulate blood pressure and weight control, and has good results during pregnancy and abdominal feminine discomfort.
Kefir prevents intestinal putrefaction, which is the cause of multiple disorders, and contributes to the body’s depuration. It doesn’t alter the digestive process. It should be drunk on a daily basis, and depending on the condition, once or more times a day. In chronic conditions, great quantities of Kefir should be drunk, 3 times daily, about ½ a liter (approx. 2 cups) each time.

How to make the Kefir
• 3 tbs. Water Kefir grains (also called Water Kefir Fungus) 50 g. Brown Sugar or Honey - you can use any preferred type of honey, and can also use white sugar or molasses as long as it is from sugar cane. For diabetic people, fructose should be used, saccharin and other such sweeteners
are NOT suitable. (1 gram = 0.035274 ounce) 1 or 2 dried figs – or any other dried fruit you prefer like dried prunes, apricots, dates, raisins, etc. Fresh fruits are also suitable, but need to be changed daily
ones weekly ( I am using raw organic honey and some lime)
• ½ lemon. 1 liter mineral or spring water – only water without any chlorine should be used, so tap water is not suitable unless it’s filtered - (I am using some distilled water mixed with fresh carrot juice)
Mix in the glass container and stir. There are 3 different brews you can make: 24, 48, and 72 hour fermentations. 72 hours is the maximum a batch should be let to ferment. he longer it is allowed to ferment, the stronger it becomes. Note that the carbonic acid increases each day, so if your container is air-tight sealed, it could explode. Personally I like using a glass container slightly larger than the batch I’m going to make, so there’s room for the gas in it, and just lightly cover it with a lid. Covering it is important so it doesn’t become contaminated with strange microorganisms (although Kefir’s own micro-flora maintains many pathogens at bay), and to prevent flies or regulates and keeps
other bugs from getting into it.

Honey Bee update!
