057 - Did you know that anyone can build a vortex brewer? with guest Rocky Peruch with host Linda Borghi This podcast is made possible by funding from Farm-a-Yard and Farm-a-Yards’
Mighty Network. Please support our podcast and become a member
seed.Farm-a-Yard.com
In this episode my guest Angelo (aka Rocky) Peruch was a student that attended a 7-day conference on Star Island, NH in which I was the sole speaker. He was so inspired by the information that when he returned home he began implementing what he learned and built a 5-gallon vortex brewer. Not only did he build a brewer he started making compost, brewing compost tea and began vermicomposting.
Rocky was so kind as to give us the directions to build the brewer, including a materials list and a video which I have included below.
So…...go ahead and build your own brewer and let us know how it went.
Links:
- https://youtu.be/MNo2S6XMaBA - How to build a vortex brewer
- A list of what you will need :
So, here you see the components of my version of a vortex machine. In the Engineering profession, this is what we would call a proof-of-concept or Alpha prototype. It works well, so I haven’t felt the need to make any improvements.
Components include:
1 - 5-gallon bucket 1 - Feedthrough fitting (water heater department) 5 - 90 degree 3⁄4” PVC elbows 1 - Coupling, 3⁄4” PVC to 1⁄2” pipe thread 1 - Coupling, 1⁄2” pipe thread to hose fitting (at pump inlet) 1 - 800 GPH submersible pump (garden hose flow) 1 - Tee fitting, 1⁄2” pipe to PVC (connects to pump outlet) 3 - ball-type shut off valves 1 - Tee fitting, 3⁄4” PVC to 1⁄2” pipe thread 1 - Coupling, 1⁄2” pipe thread to hose end. 1 - Cap for hose end 1 - Small piece of garden hose 2 - 45 degree 3⁄4” PVC elbows 2 - Reducers, 3⁄4” PVC to 1⁄2” pipe thread (for flexible hoses) 2 - flexible hose assys 2 - U-Clamps 4ft of 1⁄2” vinyl tubing 1 – Adapter, 1⁄2” tubing to 1⁄2” pipe thread 1 – Cap, 1⁄2”
1 – small Fountain pump. (I used a Danner 120 GPH pump, but a smaller 70 GPH pump should also work). Small hose clamps 1 - Large plastic bin with lid
About 4ft of 3⁄4” PVC tubing Blocks for bucket
All of these components can be purchased at your local hardware store and Pet or Garden store. Tools you will need are a PVC tubing cutter (much quicker and easier than a hacksaw), PVC primer and cement, electric drill w/ 1⁄4” drill bit (drain hole), 1” drill bit (feedthrough and inlet lines), round file (for inlet and feedthrough fittings) and an assortment of screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, etc.
One thing that I want to point out is that my choice of a submersible pump was somewhat by accident, but it works in this application and is the reason for the large plastic bin. I purchased the pump at Home Depot and two different associates assured me that the pump did not have to be submerged (which is, what I guess I wanted to hear). So, taking their word for it (which is highly unusual for me, but somewhat fortuitous), I forewent reading the instructions and constructed my first prototype. Upon powering it up however, I noticed water leaking from the pump. I soon discovered that the pump diverts some of the intake water internally, through the pump and out through a small discharge hole in the rear of the pump. After researching some options for a non-submersible type
pumps, which are much larger and much more expensive, I decided to solve the problem by putting the bottom half of the machine in a large plastic tray so that the pump would be submerged. That solved the problem, but required that I periodically scoop some water from the plastic bin back into the bucket. This is the water that flows through the internal part of the pump and is discharged into the bin (about 700ml/min). I didn’t see this as a big issue as I need to attend the process anyway to reverse flow about every 2-3 minutes. Eventually, I decided to put another small pump in the bin to pump water from the bin back into the bucket. You will see this when I fire up the vortex machine. It’s your choice if you want to add the second pump or save some $$ and do it by hand. Again, you will need to attend the process, so it’s no big deal to do it by hand.

056 - A Series: Did you know the power in a bubble? With Bubba Dumass Host Linda Borghi & Guest Bubba Dumass
Here we go again! Bubba Dumass lives near Andrews Airforce Base in the desert. Bubba is having amazing results for plants and he is actually changing the temperature in the desert! Bubba is an earth healer. He discusses the orgone accumulator and other instruments that improve the orgone energy. Bubba’s experience with orgone and growing plants is absolutely amazing!
Bubba Dumass was born and raised in Texas. Many lifetimes later he has settled in California on ten acres of land. Bubba studied under the scientist Masaru Emoto, who showed how human consciousness has an effect on water. Bubba takes Emotos concepts a step further by showing us how we can "talk to the water within us" with words and music and why we should always be doing this. Bubba has an appreciation for all living things, but especially for trees and the earth, and he will explain why they are so important in our lives.

033 - Mix Your Own Potting Soil with host Linda Borghi and guest Evan Folds
Evan Folds, our favorite “Soil Doctor”, and Linda discuss the considerations when preparing your potting soil as the next step to getting a jump start on your spring garden.
What percentage of ingredients for a good soil mix? You first have to understand what the plant needs? Making your own soil is a lot like preparing a recipe for the plant to be able to breathe, eat and drain well. The recipe is a flexible guideline, and adjustments are needed based on your observation of the plant as it progresses. Good nutrition for the plant depends on soil microbe development and so much more!
