Alika Atay Teaches How to Make Fermented Plant Juice
Learn a powerful and easy Traditional Hawaiian Farming Practice for converting your abundant weeds into a source of nitrogen for the rest of your garden plants that you actually want to encourage to grow. Hawaii Farmers Union, West Maui (Mauna Kahalawai) Chapter President, Alika Atay speaks about the science behind and demonstrates how to convert weeds into a fermented plant juice (FPJ). This natural form of nitrogen can then be applied to your new growth plants to encourage them to be healthy. This is one simple example of natural farming techniques that convert natural ingredients into fertilizer and mineral sources your garden and farm plants can use to flourish. An abundance of techniques are available for the whole growth cycle of plants in a variety of methods via soil (Indigenous Micro-Organisms), root, and leaf applications, environments and inoculations.

A liquefier would work better than a lot of sugar

i would say he needs one thing if he is far from an active ocean
after a big storm get a pail of sea water
it has all 90 nutrients plants MAY NEED
2ounces sea water to 10 gallons water -
bets video i have seen in a lomng time
-
Digging this FPJ vid, it's pretty good!
-
This guy is a straight up baller. Love the wisdom he presents..going to hawaii soon hope I run into this man
-
Well Said!
-
you can use a kitchen waste in a same way. brown sugar, kitchen waste, water, some effective microorganisms EM1. By using em1, progress of fermentation will be very fast and more benefit.

I used your FPJ made out of Henbit and raw sugar and mixed it with EM1 and Bokashi Juice. The first spraying was FPJ and BJ. The plants took off right away. AMAZING!!! I sprayed our, and my neighbors flowers and shrubs with it and they are gorgeous! My garlic is over 30" tall and my strawberries are a foot tall have have more flowers on them than I have ever seed in my life on strawberry plants. Thanks for an excellent video. You are a blessing to me and my family. Blessings to you!! My next batch will be Comfrey or Purslane.

Hi, I thought this was soooo cool that I posted your video in all my gardening groups on FB. Can you add Epsom Salt @ 1 tablespoon/gallon to your FPJ/water solution (5 tbl. sp./5 gal.)?
-
nice
-
Teach ME!!!!!
-
Pretty cool For fully fermented within 7 days thats good enough.
-
whatever kind of farming it is, I like it and I'm going to use this.
-
What happens if i use molasses for this proces?...
Will this reproduce patogens as well? -
4-5 days doesn't seem long enough to ferment the sugar. Isn't the idea of fermenting to have the bacteria eat the sugar so that it is converted?
-
I believe you can use sugar. But that can be a significant cost input depending on your garden or farm size. Alika appreciates being able to use renewable resources from one's own garden. Particularly note he is using what is considered a weed and grabbing the aspect of the plant that really likes the garden environment, although it's not ideal for his specific garden production. By using this weed as the source of the sugar, he's also capturing its vital essence (which contains property/s that likes his environment) and seeking to share that vitality with the other plants/crops he uses. So the FPJ does double duty.

Why not white sugar please?
-
20 cc's per 5 gallons of water...
-
This is not Traditional Hawaiian Farming; this is Korean Natural Farming.
Please make the correction.
