Use IMOs continuously

After practising Korean Natural Farming techniques for 2-3 years you can get lazy with regard to collecting and making IMOs. This laziness begins with the premature assessment that the fields have improved to the point where the effort is no longer necessary. From there it is a short step to the decision that a little bit of rice wine or lactic acid bacteria will suffice. However, this is far from true.

The MOST important thing in the soil is the primitive diversity and power of indigenous microorganisms. Farmers who fail to use IMOs properly cannot expect to see continued results. Relying on few substances such as rice wine, despite its being natural, can contribute to disturbing the balance.

Diversity is essential

Modern science was faced with a dilemma as it found out more and more about microorganisms. At first microorganisms were classified into two categories; the good and the bad. Scientists tried to selectively use what they considered the beneficial ones. Many of the bacteria products you see on the market today are the results of such efforts. However further research has revealed that it is very difficult to classify

microorganisms as either good or bad. Additionally, it is extremely difficult to achieve sustained, long term, safe effects using selective microorganisms.

So what do we do? We collect leaf mould and soil from all four faces of the mountain, from the summit, the valley and the trench. We then mix it and culture it in rice bran.

Collecting from leaf mould1. Go to the hills, forests, valley

Collecting from the forest1. Fill a wooden lunchbox (preferably made from Japanese cedar) with hard steamed rice…

3. Bury the lunchbox in the local bamboo field

Collecting from the rice paddy1. After the rice harvest, cover

the rice stump with a filled rice lunchbox

How to make OHN

1. Prepare Angelica Acutiloba,

cinnamon bark, licorice, garlic and ginger to this ratio: 2:1:1:1:1. The garlic and the ginger are supplementary ingredients.

2. The three main ingredients are sold in a dry state. Put the three main ingredients in three

separate jars and fill up to the 2/3 level with rice wine (or beer) so that they are completely soaked

ANAEROBIC

FERMENTATIONFeed the Effective Microorganisms

• Air – Oxygen is not needed, must be compacted and contained or wrapped

• Water- keep the moisture between 30%-40%

• Feed stock- C/N ratio 30:1, must have balanced diet

• Structure/bedding- closed pile, wrapped or in air tight containers, pails, drums

• Allow 2 weeks for fermentation then work into soil and wait 2 more weeks for decomposition to complete.

Nutrient Dense FoodBEYOND Organic

• There is a movement for high quality food

• High vitamins, high minerals, high sugar

• This food has healing powers

• Brixo as an indicator

• The refractometer

The Brix ScaleA relative index of food quality

6 8 10 12

Within a given species of plant,

the crop with the higher

refractive index will have a:

•higher sugar content

•higher mineral content

•higher protein content

•greater specific gravity or

density

This adds up to sweeter taste,

higher mineral density and more

nutrition as well as food with

lower nitrate and water content,

a lower freezing point, and better

storage attributes.

Poor Average Good Excellent

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity

ORAC rating is a laboratory analysis that provides an overall measure of a food's antioxidant activity. The higher the ORAC score, the greater is the

food's antioxidant capacity. ORAC tests are often used to compare the antioxidant activities of different foods (fruits, vegetables, juices, wines, etc.).

God created everything in

balance

Man has been foolish through

Greed

LazinessThe bible says we are enemies of God and separated

from Him because of our SIN

Sin is not keeping the 10 commandments

Thou shall not lie -

Liar

Thou shall not steal -

Thief

Thou shall not murder-

Hatred = murderer

I am guilty by law, a transgressor.

…but the gift of God is eternal Life in Jesus

Christ.”

“The wages of sin is death…

Perhaps you consider yourself a good person?

Our righteousness is not acceptable to God, we have

to be perfect for Him to accept us.

Gal 3:24

… the law was our schoolmaster (tutor) to

bring us unto Christ, that we might be

justified by faith.

(that’s hell not heck)Turn from sin and self-

righteousness (repent) and trust in

Jesus Christ for His righteousness.

My family from Norway came to the new world in the US to farm. My great

grandfather, son-of-Mikel, started with draft horses and later my grandfather

converted a Ford car into a tractor. They eventually moved to the city and my

dad went on to college and practiced engineering. I grew up in the city. We started in 1998 with this…
