Howto Collect IMO Indoor Greenhouse & Cold Weather KNF

- This video goes over how to setup collecting Indigenous Micro Organisms (IMO) in an indoor setting. Getting a good IMO collection is crucial to your success in Korean Natural Farming, and it's not always possible to set your box of rice out in the forest, so this video shows how you can bring the forest to you!
The keys are to get the moisture of the leaf mold correct and how to prepare the rice and basket to ensure a successful collection. This video shows how to do both of those things.

Thanks Drake. Keep it up. Love your work and your immortalization of KNF through these videos and farm tours.
It's grueling to sit there and crank these out. 12 hours editing on this one. My mentor says "pain is temporary, film is forever" long live the natural farmer!
@@PureKNFDrake was actually about to write a comment to say how much I loved the edit, beautiful stuff
@@jekesainjikizana9734 thank you
thanks for posting this Drake, this is some amazing insights into propagating IMO in various environments. I am situated in the city so my collecting IMO is less than ideal but collecting leaf mold samples to bring to an environment like this say on a balcony with a similar setup, one can practice KNF even in large metropolitan cities. I have successfully propagated my first collection with a tote box and soil samples from different high activity sources - the collection had white pillows of growth, a splotch of green which I believe could be trichoderma and lots of yeast looking stuff that held the rice together and smelled like the forest that made a nice IMO2.
most excellent! bring that IMO to the city!!!!
I left a container to collect IMO about two weeks ago went back to collect today and I couldn’t find it so this is a great alternative thanks for posting
😁 a gift for the microbes! Did you hear rei say that if you don't bury it deeper than 20cm it will grow legs and walk away? Only now the joke makes sense. 😏 best of luck on the next collection
Thank you for posting this!
This is how you do “indoor IMO”! I can get “on board” with a large greenhouse with a soil floor and large leaf collection.
I see people trying to do this in a cardboard 📦 box in a house, apartment or garage with small amounts of leaf mold and not working out and getting forest IMO1 but garage, apartment and house IMO 🥴. It is hard to bring nature inside. Cardboard is filthy and contaminated. I’m not saying it’s impossible but should be as close to nature and following Master Cho’s teachings as we can to get the desired results.
I look forward to seeing the results of these collections.
Thank you for sharing this.
The collection "part 2" is in the editor right now. *spoiler* it came out great! this session studying with Master Lee was so invaluable. what a gift from god that he was able to facilitate this workshop while suffering from stage 4 cancer.
Haha, I’m not surprised it came out well with Nature and Master Lee at the helm!
wow, willing Master Lee supreme healing more health and strength
@@kinonesevenone7254 is there any video links to master Lee teaching on line even in Korean
Nice to see , I was gonna get the imp from my garden but reading this I’ll go to maybe prospect so my microbe selection range will be wider ; I’m thinking the strongest competitor in the woods will be the best
I'm doing my collections this week heck yeah I'm excited
Awesome .keep trying ,took me 3 tries before I figured it out.
Keep it dry.
yeah. at one point master lee says, "this is very hard". let me be encouraging though. with the right enthusiasm, YOU GOT THIS!
Is the rice texture is like when we're making makgeoli orang sake?
I wonder how long it takes to have the leaf mold ready to collect the IMOs ???
do we collect the micros right after making the leaf mold pile ???
do we have to wait any amount of time before we do it ???
You're simulating an outdoor collection
I sprinkled insect frass on rice, and the colors of the mycelium that came were of the whole rainbow. No joke. Let's go Brandon.
not quite the aerobic soil microbes you are looking for, but maybe some good gelatinase/chitinase digesting critters?
@@PureKNFDrake I figured diversity is good for microbes and if there are any bad ones then the good ones could get some good fight training
@@ivegotheart sort of. at this stage they are like babies and can't really fight each other, which is why it's important to get a good clean collection of soil microbes. assuming you actually want to really boost your soil. there are other reasons for doing what you are doing. the rainbow colors are an indication that there are not many soil microbes in there.
@@PureKNFDrake I do not know the mind of microbes. I let them sort it out. Colors mean something. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Usually ok if not black.
would you be able to collect IMO from a compost pile rather than a leaf pile.
Soil microbes come from soil. There's a lot of soil in there
@@PureKNFDrake Thanks Drake fantastic information you are putting out there. Do you ship your recipe (hard copy)book to the UK
I would not expect microbial community of a compost pile to contain the same microbes as a leaf pile. . Leaf pile has more that are indigenous to your area. The soil duff just below the leaves is key.
