As a biologist with a lab research background, this is fascinating and I don't see it as a failure whatsoever. You managed to capture mycelium inside the box. I'd mix up, rehydrate it with a spray bottle of distilled water and place it somewhere in dark moderate temperature to develop further. Not all colonies bloom fiercely. However, mold loves to spread and there's more than enough there to get something started. Thanks for sharing this process done in a traditional way.
I've been implementing this technique in redford michigan for years and I'm finally seeing result. The soil was destroyed in my area.. The salt every winter doesn't help at all. Huge obstacles to overcome.
better at field capacity , imo you needed more time and darkness.i grow magic mushrooms its fun ,
@@WookofWallstreet It's great to hear that this method is fruitful. Your cold climate shortens the growing season, coupled with salt... It takes a lot of positive inputs to counter those concerns. Thanks for chiming in... There's lots of wisdom in these comment sections.
@@busyrand went a step above and added mycelium from grow stores and mushroom kits.
Hey! May I ask what you do in your lab setting?
OMG, I GOT IMO!!!!!!!!!!
went in the woods last week and followed all step..... I've now got biology!!!!!!!
Dude You Are AMAZING. From my family to yours "HOAALOAH" 🙏
Anyone know what OHN & FPJ are?
@@seanpereira83 check his videos on how to make them, fpj = fermented plant juice, ohn = oriental herbal nutrient
@@elijahwu4168 what is IMO?
@@rhb30001 indigenous micro organisms
@@seanpereira83 I had the same thought. Is it so difficult to say the words? Especially from a teaching perspective, this is confusing. Further, I shouldn’t have to check all of his videos to find the terminology so I can understand another video.
I like what he’s doing and sure want to learn about how to make it, but the acronyms drive me crazy.
Wonderful video chris. This is probably the most difficult product to get consistantly. Thats how nature works.
Want to add something here.
While you have demonstrated how to find natural leaf mold in the forest and collect it in the rice, many viewers would be wondering what to do if they have no access to forest leaf mold nearby. Our teacher taught us an alternative.
1. Drench the soil to be used for collecting IMO using LAB or rice wash water (this should be preferably under the shade of a tree)
2. Dig it a little (one or two inches)
3. Place the collection box in the shallow depression with cooked rice loosely spread out (You have shown this clearly in the video)
4. Cover the box with straw, leaves and other organic matter and wait for a few days till the fungal mycelia form.
Its always worked!!!
Nice alternative! i'm gonna give it a try as soon as I can :D
I’m in a part of Texas that has nothing but sand, I was wondering how I’d access leaf mold.
@@annsiguenza9108 Its easy. Make LAB solution. Soak dry leaves in following for 24 hours.
LAB:salt:brown sugar: water
5:1:3:1000
Keep it in shade, lid covered
In 24 hours you will see lots of bubbling
Longer soak is also OK upto 48 hours, or just wait till the bubbling dies down
Remove the soaked leaves and keep in shady place covered with a sack to prevent moisture from evaporating, or just a plastic drum and cover the lid
Within five days the leaves turn black and full of mold. You can use this mold to extract IMO-1. It works great
This is the quickest way of making leaf mold.
@@DrVivek-ub6bf not soak too long.. ya want arobic fungi not anarobic (your probably aware just newbies to understand the difference)
@@DrVivek-ub6bf that is amazing. I am wondering if you know how KNF does in an arid environment. I am worried all the IMOs I try to introduce will just die from evaporation.
Although, maybe they are adapted enough to go dormant till they get more moisture.
I'm completely sold on all of this . You are a great teacher and break everything down beautifully. "Who cooked this rice ..." Lmao
My wife makes perfect IMO Rice she's a natural lol
😂
😂
Your very funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lolll
Hi mate, excellent work, I just ADORE your cooking channel..😂😂😂
Just kidding, you're quickly becoming a reference point for translating on the large scale the "microbe farming" normally found for gardens or veggie patches. If I might be so bold to ask you a little favor, I have a hard time to translate in my mind all the acronyms you usually use while showing the how to; if you could just use them and explain them a couple of times in your vids, even I will get around it.
Keep it up, you're good at it and very prepared.
And thank you for teaching 👍🏻
+Marco Forti awesome man, I am glad you like it. I believe the principles behind these methods will help to change the world. I TOTALLY GET the difficulty with the acronyms, I am sorry to subject you to that :) I will get into the explanation videos soon and I think that will help. Blessings on your journey in KNF man :)
ya i'm witcha ..... the acronym soup is tiring.... and i work in network, so it ain't my first rodeo..... it seems to be a genX thing, u can sound like u know what ur talking about even if nobody else understands...... i'm blaming BEM's ......
It'll change the world once the current infrastructure crumbles.
People see this and instantly think, forget that I'll go buy a bag of miracle grow. Until the poison brings humanity to the brink of extinction, they won't change.
Just Google them. They pop right up
I've been loving everything you've been putting up on this channel, it has been some of the most clear and concise examples of Natural Farming that I've been able to find.
Also love the motivational words.
Keep it up! I know I'll be following along for the foreseeable future.
+MrMrgreenstuff awesome :) I am glad that you are enjoying them. Thank you for taking the time to encourage me :) there are a lot more videos to come :)
Q
great video...I started all over my first IMO collection...this time I collect bamboo leaves and sorrounded my collection basket...I've seen the White micilium examples you've shown here I was hesitant to gather them and sorround my collection basket...my first collection I place it next to my coconut tree and covered with mulch...thanks again Chris...I will give you updates on my second collection I a couple more days...mahalo
Chris Trump = American Badass!
You rock, Chris! Thanks for teaching and encouraging us all to take our first steps on the path of KNF!
+Cosa Pharms you are most welcome! Now get out and try it ;)
Weekend plans: Saturday - fishing (mission accomplished), Sunday - Make a Cedar box/cage. Started my first LAB and a few FFJ's thanks to what I've learned from you.
Cosa Seed Co Chris can you please do a how to jadam sulphur and jadam wetting agent please sir love your content and what I'm learning from you thanks man
Cosa Seed Co he is doin some amazing thing that's for sure
Interesting... I will be glad to have more of your works
This is absolutely wonderful info! Well orchestrated video as well! For anybody watching, set it to 1.75x speed, you'll thank me later
Too sslow i did the same. Time is precious.
Lol, I love how he whispers its like ... shhhh if I talk loud it will deflate like a soufle
Thanks Chris.....Darth Vader here. I use to build golf courses and maintain them. Great video. Thanks
What I love about Chris is that he tells you the truth
Do others lie about KNF? Curious. I hate misinformation.
Chris, thank you so much for spreading the word and helping educate us about Korean natural farming! this is all amazing. my wife is korean and I love being able to connect with her culture on another level through KNF. Question: if I live in a suburban area, can I use leaf compost as a source for the mycelium? Thanks much
I’m here cause of Mr.Grow it! Nice
I'm very glad i found your RUclips page. I look forward to seeing many of your videos. ART and BRI RUclips page helped me find you. my search tab text for this kinda stuff is more like "catching microorganisms with rice". I'm about halfway through this video and I need to watch it again with pen and paper. thanks for the videos.
mind blowing video. also good touch making sure you come back to see the final results
hi there, lots of abbreviations, where can I find the terms to follow what is being said please
I agree
I love this whole concept.will start doing this in my crappy florida sandy soil and see how it goes.my fpj is almost done and will move on to your other tricks of your trade.I have started- chaya -yucca- blue berrys - and dragon beans-. thanks so much for the great info.S.D.
+Steve's Outdoor World you are most welcome man :) enjoy the journey!
thanks Chris
Great video! Hate to say it but I love this Trump!
The best way I have found that it works is works and dry weather is place shredded leaves at the bottom and then wet them down. Keep the area moist. My box is covered in 3 days.
Hey Chris. Thanks for the vid. For us newbies, It would be really helpful if you would say what IMO stands for as well as the other acronyms...FPJ, OHM, etc.
IMO - indigenous micro organisms
OHN - oriental herbal nutrients
FPJ - fermented plant juice
BRV-brown rice vinegar
SW - sea water
FAA- fish amino acids
LAB- lactic acid bacteria
Look up "how to: IMO" it's another Korean farming tech
@@mdngls TYVM, but that’s the title of this video.
Great video! Please keep sharing, your knowledge is what this world needs.
+RenTanis sweet man, thank you for this. I agree that this is needed in our world.
Great video, have been waiting for this one some time now.
glad that you like it :)
Incredible instruction… awesome video man
thanks chris with clarifying doubts about imo 1 ,totally understood ,by the way your hairstyle is nice ,i will try
:)
Bless you….camera girl sneezed
Terimakasih sangatlah penting untuk dilakukan secara bertahap dan berkelanjutan
thank Chris ... please keep me posted
I'm on fire! Thank you Chris!
Thank you for the Knowledge!
I figured I would try this for myself, but instead of using a box and tarping it, I think I'm going to use a burlap bag, covered in the forest detritus, and under a tree to keep the moisture acceptable and still keep the critters out. I think I'm going to dig down just into the loamy level, place the burlap bag on a layer of sticks to let air underneath it, and replace the leaves and forest litter back on top of it.
love this informational vids thanks man!
+zack tapia thank you for the encouragement! :)
Thanks for sharing this video but for many us that doesn't know anything about Korean Natural Farming, all these acronyms make us feel lost...............
As always thanks for the knowledge! And that thumb injury looks painful!!
Great video thanks!
Thanks, dude
The master asked the group to dig up a patch untill they can observe some red wriglers... 'Ok, if you use your magnifying glass and observe them closely... Some of them are collecting IMO1 and some of them are spreading IMO5'
love it Bud!
+Bhakta Neal thanks for that encouragement man :)
crazy, thank you for all of this info.
Thank you. Quite interesting
Superb video my friend
Question: I've been making IMO for a while, but I dind't understand why adding OHN and FPJ before cooking de the rice. The heat will destroy the OHN and FPJ, no? Does somebody knows why did he add OHN and FPJ before cooking?
Anyways, Chris, you are the best, man!!! Cheers from Brazil.
Good info and nice to look at;)
+Jenni Porshakin thank you! Your encouragement means a lot!
Hi Chris , just want to start by thanking your for taking the time to do these videos , i watch them all there all great , and pretty well instructed wish some day i could have a mentor like you haha , anyway im pretty much new in all that organic growing and still trying to figured lots of stuff out , but my question today is . does IMO or EM have mycorrhizal fungi ? im not quite undestanding the difference here.. Keep on farming :)
dont talk too loud the rice will hear you
Hey Chris, just discovered KNF and I'm blown away. Grew up with many natural farming methods but this tops them all. I'm in!!! I have one question that is concerning me. Maybe I'm overthinking this but... I'm in Central California at an elevation of about 3000 ft. At his level the forests are really full of Amanita Phalloides. Death Cap mushrooms. They like the oak trees. The forest is mixed. If I am collecting from this area are these death caps a problem? Should I go higher up into the pines? The area I am in is very rich in mycelium.
It would be cool if you explained the abrrevated things like FPJ and OHN. I have no idea what those are.
I love this video
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing.
Have you or other KNF practitioners tried this technique with a grain that is indigenous to the US? Rice being indigenous to Korea may be the best where this is local, but how about wheat, barley, oats, and possibly a mix to increase the diversity of our substrate in temperate regions?
Intuitively I would think it wouldn’t matter much what the substrate is - the substrate is just serving as a medium for your imo it just happened to be rice cuz...korea
What is OAN?
Hey chris! first of all, thank you so much. you are a wealth of knowledge and i love to learn! second of all, i live in the north east and am trying to begin to get my inputs ready for the spring. much of it can be prepared inside and away from the cold, but my question is about IMO1. can i collect imo1 when it is 30 degrees outside?
Aloha koobydeh, yes, go find some mycelium in your wild environment and grow it out in some rice indoors :)
I hope this helps, let me know if that answers your question :)
I am not handy enough to make a mesh box to put the wood box into. Could you give a short video on how to assemble the mesh box and the wood box?
thanks for the info
Just wasn't cooked long enough it would have taken off with more time and moisture good stuff.
This may be a silly question - hopefully someone knows the answer. Is there any reason this process wouldn't work with soaked, but uncooked rice? Reason being, all that debris in the forest is raw and in a state of decay and is growing the fungal goodness? Does cooking merely speed it up or is there something else at play? Thanks!
There are many people who have no clue what the acronyms mean when you state them. If you are going to use acronyms, it's probably a good idea to tell the viewers what they mean or what they stand for so they can keep up with your content and not go elsewhere for the information they seek.
You’re really a beast at collecting IMO. What are signs of poor collection?
//for the 2nd time in a row I’ve discovered deep greenish grey, spots of yellow, and pink//
First time was too moist.
Second time I thought I nailed it
No sure... I’m just a realtor who loves gardening and trying to advance my soil health like Chris Trump’s orchard! 🤓
Can you tell us or at least point us to reference materials where we could know what biology is what color and what that means to our collection? I've tried to collect IMO1 and all my 10 collections either has different colored biologies (yellow, orange, pink) and some with the same color as yours, some with black, and my first try watered.
that greyish blackness is OK? I threw out a bunch just like that, because I thought greyish/black was no good????
great videos. thank you for taking time to making them.
Can you make LAB from washing cooked rice?
Hi Chris, I love your work. Thanks a lot for this great videos that you share with a world. One question, is it OK to post few pictures of your work on my web site? I would love to promote this great knowledge in Serbia and i would like to write about IMO and whole procedure of making it. So I was planing to snip few pictures from your RUclips Chanel and post together with a text. Let me know if is ok, or not. I would understand if you say no. Thanks for everything you are doing.
I've done this process also except we put the rice in an old pantihose and buried about 10 inches deep in the root zone of a very old growth maple tree, them break the rice down into a molasses mixture with some brown sugar and ferment for a couple weeks then strain and......very effective stuff in my garden and for my canabis plants. I also made one from a box I placed Among a reed thicket in a wet land area with the idea that diversity is key. So many ways to use this technology and I love the idea of food full of life. Life producing life , rather than dead soil producing monster food with monster chemicals. Mama nature knows best. Let's get to know her ways! Praise to the CREATOR in the highest. Silly Adam......stop telling that ground and tend it.
The fermentation is done without aeration, correct? I’m a bit concerned that the mixture might be anaerobic instead of aerobic. Your input is greatly appreciated
@@bluejay3945 it will be anaerobic. The difference if the good bacteria will over take the bad if done correctly. The best way to tell is by the smell. If it smells putrid, not good. If it smells sweetish and not terrible good. When your making the seed stock, the stuff in the rice or whatever substrate tou are using the prepopulated bacteria is what your after, which is already going to be a beneficial balance evidenced by the health of the old growth or whatever surrounding it. It's not too difficult to tell. I have had some batches go bad but it's super obvious when it does. It usually has a very bad smell.
Just found this...thank you RUclips. Fascinating. But I find this in my fridge every time I clean it out! My kids always called it Mum's science experiments...guess they were right?
i am new to not only this channel but to the usage of abbreviations. will someone reach out and guide me to any video's to learn the 101 side of things?
But won't the cooking process kill all the micro-organisms in the FPJ and the OHN that was added to the rice(4.15) BEFORE cooking it? Generally high heat is used for disinfection by killing bacteria, viruses fungi etc.
Can somebody shed some light on this. Thanks.
Exactly what I was wondering.
I'm looking for a video to give a practical explanation of what exactly it is you're doing and why. You use a lot of references like LAB, IMO or FPJ...i have no idea what these are. Getting soil fungi and putting it in your garden seems about as straightforward as digging up some fungi in the forest and mixing it in with your garden soil...where do I start trying to understand what you're doing here and why? How is it different than digging up fungi and transplanting it? I watched your 'Korean Natural Farming in a nut shell' video but it still didn't answer those fundamental questions. Thanks
I am an agronomic soil scientist. A word of caution about aqueous vegetative extracts "compost tea". First: the finish extract contains very little, if any, nutrient value in lab analysis. When compared to groups receiving an equal amount of water on the same schedule the two groups are indistinguishable. Secondly: these malto-lactic fermented solutions can be dangerous. E. coli, salmonella and even cholera have been incubated this way with deadly consequences in Korea and Taiwan.
No shortage of warning in the world. Let me see your garden.
hey man. I just took my IMO1 from the bamboo forest. my IMO was greenish white. not sure if it was because I used white corn (cooked) instead of rice. I left another container but using rice instead.
+Marvi Rafael Montecillo great job getting started man! Keep on putting care into it and you will definitely succeed :)
I read online that a good recipe is 6 cups of rice to 4 cups of water.
Hey Chris. Can I put the box in my wood chip pile. Lots of mycelium there, or is there more diversity in the forest?
Can I do this in my backyard and still produce good fungi and microbes
what's up, Chris just heard you on a podcast figured out. Check it out, man.
How fresh does the rice have to be? Can I make it say tonight for tomorrow? Or sunday
does it matter what kind of rice? white? brown?
Can’t you use a sock and fill it with rice and bury it?
1st three batches all had lots of red/pink dots? Even the JMS formed the red dots on the potato, different woods. It doesn't smell bad. All had pale grey hypha, 2 had dark grey spots. Guess a microscope is needed.
im using micron bags lets the good in keeps the bad out
Chris ... my wife and I are so excited to start KNF ... we are going to try to do it as container gardening. We are a bit overwhelmed with all the processes and have watched all your videos... is there an order that we apply FPJ, IMO, LAB, etc. How can we apply this awesome way of gardening from scratch and in containers ... we have tried to find more info, but you seem to be most thorough on the subject ... are there any books on the subject, we haven't anything... thank you for all you are doing.
+David Smith Cho Han-Kyu is the initiator of this method. He has two books, hard to find them though... there is some university of Hawaii information also. I am working on getting more available :)
if possible , please share the JADAM's organic farming inputs like JMS, JLS etc.
+Anu B I will get to those too :)
If I’m in the city and can’t find any mycellium covered leaves or bark can I go straight to the box with rice that has OHN & fpj?
So for a standard rice cooker , the rice to water ratio is 1:1.5 (1c rice to 1 1/2 c water) so for this one I would probably use 1c rice to 3/4c water 👍
Excellent !!!!!

Chris Trump Great Video's Chris .
At 5:57 you really see the oxygen when u say aerobic 😂 nice
Or may b some one squeezed your balls under the table . . The expression is something
Nice
Great video buy whay is OHN and FPJ?
what if the visible biology youre trying to capture doesnt want rice? wood loving fungi for example?
Has anyone tried using Willow Tree leaves for their FPJ?
How to protect it from ants? Thanks
Could you use landscape cloth instead of paper towel
could you use pantyhose material instead of paper towels for the top lid portion? was thinking that material might be a little longer lasting?
Just make an open top lid for the box that pinches the paper in between the two so you're not wasting energy stapling things.
I live in zone 9b. Incredibly arid desert with very few long living plants. Any suggestions on how i could harvest leaf mold adapted to my area?
finally took my first collection. It wasnt perfect because i didnt put security around my collection pot, so the squirrels knocked it over i beieve. still had 24g of usable material. already mixed it one to one with brown sugar.
can i now take that and put it in a tea, or do i have to make I.M.O. 3 first?
why is the mycelium greenish and black. shouldn't it be white and thick like the samples you found in the forest?
Dear Mister !
Tell me please ,what are 2 substances that you added into rice before cooking ? What are the roles of these 2 substances ?
Thanks in advance !
From Ping Song , Cambodia !
I got green and black fluff in mine with what looked like orange powder on top. Is that ok?
If you get a perfect collection couldn't you just continuously feed it (preserve like a 1/4 of it) and use it to produce more perfect collections which will in turn save you the travel time and also increase the odds of a perfect collection?
Eventually your culture would domesticate. Seperate perfect collections would provide a better diversity. If you want to grow out your collection to apply it to a bigger area, just advance through the IMO2-IMO4 process or LIMO
why put it ontop of the paper towl and not just right on top of the rice? is there a reason?
how long before we can harvest IMO 1
