Not some back yard hobbyist, Chris has proven this approach on hundreds of acres of trees among other places. What a blessing that he's not only a good practicing farmer/scientist but a clear teacher! This is super beneficial instruction for restoring healthy soil.
Bro!!! This is the best OHN video out there. I'm planning on making one in a couple of months when I have my 5 rounds harvested. But damn brother you definitely killed it. Super detailed. Love it.
Jason L I've been practicing KNF for about 10 years, so its nit mu first time making OHN. It is my first time filming it though. Im actually almost done with my how to make OHN video. Its in the editing phase. The OHN came out awesome. I love using the ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and tumeric for myself as medicine.
The Sonoran Desert Grower wow I recently subscribed to your channel. I cant wait to see your video, I just started my first batch of OHN with some mugwort and tumeric. all the online information helps so much. thank all you who take the time to make great educational videos. thanks for the reply. hope to chime in on your vids soon 🙋♂️🙇♂️
Chris trump in my opinion is 1 of the best KNF teachers on youtube very informative clear and easy to understand. The only problem is there not enough videos from lolol.
I know I'm late to the party here but wanted to let you know that you totally have me hooked on Korean natural farming after watching this video. Very well put together. I work with herbs, formulating natural products for human use, so this is fascinating stuff for me. Really well put together video, very complete detailed info without wasting unnecessary time. Bloody great job. Ill be making these herbal concoctions for my garden this year. Really psyched that this can also be used as medicine! Huge bonus!
Thank you so much for spreading such high quality content on natural farming. I've made LAB, LAB cheese, ffj, and fpj from your videos. Next up OHN and IMO1. Cheers!
MardiRazzberry chimming in. Thank you for the diligence in preparing and teaching OHN. Listen carefully, replay as often as necessary to understand garlic/ginger extractions. This is well explained when not using exact measurements for everyone's circumstances. 👏 👏 👏
Hi Chris I really love your videos KNF. Can you make a general video on how much ml to dilute all KNF fertilizer in water and it's uses on plants and soil, intervals of spraying. It would help many.
Hi there, this is just my instinct; but I feel that any extraction that is a brown sugar based extract (like FPJ, FFJ) the dilution is 1:500. While if the extraction is alcohol base (like OHN) then the dilution is 1:1000 (with a halving of that every 3 years, specifically for OHN). The dilution extraction for a vinegar based (WCA/P) is also 1:1000 like that of OHN. Althiugh I’m unsure if the halving applies to WCA/P as well. In my head, extracts that has “alcoholic composition” or “mineral composition” will have a dilution of 1:1000 and 1:500 to the other inputs.
Hi Chris, we've spoken briefly on instagram and I want to let you know how thankful and incredibly grateful I am you decide to let us all in on the wisdom. I'm planning to go to the certification classes in Idaho, and look forward to meeting in person. Like a lot of other folks, I'm wondering where you sourced the dry ingredients as my concern is the ones I have used and will be extracting for the first time tomorrow may be a little difficult and may not be..."natural..." they seem very light, whispy/airy/stringy, as opposed to the thick chunks seen here. Thanks for your time and I hope you have/had a great harvest :)
Chris, these videos are great. if i may suggest a few tips. It would be great to have more follow up videos on how/when and where to apply these serums. For instances, the LAB video, once the fermentation process is done and you separate the curds, can we use it immediately as soil drench/foliar feed, do we have to add molasses and store it for months? Why add molasses? How do you apply all of these natural farming methods to your farm? Thank you for being a great teacher!
Thank you again sir.. This mix gives me a feeling this stuff could be potentially the go to remedy for everything on the farm.. Colds, flu, animal water tonic... the other preparations admixture, the favorite hopping used in beer... you name it.. I got so excited waiting for payday.. I started making the garlic.. ginger.. I used my residual SAAZ hop from my first beer brew..., some dried SanPedro powder, Some heads of bud mixed with rosemary, sage and feverfew, and for some bizarre reason I had a 50g packet of Astragalus root.. strange coincidence.. So I had beer and everything else that could even help with the Corona virus.. Now I just have to register myself as a monastary and brew my own "Plaag Bier"... hehe...
Excellent video!!! Instructions very clear. I can now finish making my OHN. I stopped when I got to the dry elements. I just wasn't sure how much to put in a jar. The other point I had missed was adding brown sugar to the dry elements after the rehydration period. Thank you!!!!
I am so glad that this helped you, this is the very reason that i made these videos. To spread this knowledge :) Please share it with anyone else that you think it would help.
Great video Chris. One of the most complete videos here on youtube about OHN. Sadly I'm on the process of my second collection and there are a couple of things I would've done different if I had seen your video before I started. Thanks
Hi Chris! I'm Rain from the Philippines. Thanks for your video. Its a great help since I started my organic farm. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God Bless.
This is one of the best detailed explanation of Korean Natural farming by Cris Trump I have veiwed all of vedioes not once but more that once. I have prepared all the ingredients for KNF except FAA as in India moset of the people ars vegitaria vegetarian but prepared AMINO ACID by soyabean. Thanks the CRIS TRUMP for his wonderful efforts .qe couldn't get Angalika , can we do without Angalica but prepared oho of turmeric.
Loving it, appreciate the work you share, and do. I've only recently been hipped to KNF, and it just makes sense. It's a lot of concepts I had been fumbling about, with extracting plant material as a food source, but I never really understood the proper way to do so. Anyway, thanks again for the info, I am sharing it as much as I can, whoever will listen, or shows the slightest bit of interest. Some think I am crazy, but thats ok.Where is the best way to get these dry ingredients? Would love to give it a go. I have don FPJ, JMS, WCA, and always have a nice stash of LABS around. I'm ready for the next step. Peace, Rock On!!!!
I got mine at an Oriental market. I'm in Missouri just outside Fort Leonard Wood. Right in the middle of sharp rock central-- Lol. Some clay mixed in there too.
Good information mate. I use mugwort in the UK also, I found angelica to be a very unpalatable taste for myself. GMMT - ginger, mugwort, mango (FPJ) and turmeric works to keep cold and flu at bay and tastes great - not true OHN, but it's all natural! Keep them videos coming. Respect from the UK.
Thanks for the encouragement :) Your mix sounds like it would taste amazing! When talking with Master Cho they recommend if you are going to consume OHN that you mix it with water and FPJ. Sounds like you are kind of doing that already :)
hi chris just about to get into this from uk any tips would be appreciated. even little about how you have grown from posting your posted as it was a while back
Thank you so much for this video! I finally understand how to do it. This is the best reference I could get online. I'm excited to try this. Greetings from the Philippines!
Best instructionall on OHN I've seen! I'm all over this. Looking forward to hearing you talk more about this. When I went to the Asian grocery store near my house, all of the dried herbs were from China and fumigated with sulfites/sulfur dioxide. I put everything back on the shelf and ordered online from Mountain Rose Herbs where there's OG and untreated. Assuming these preservatives are not helpful during the fermentation process. What do you think?
+Beezlz thanks for encouragement! In my experience agricultural chemicals definitely have a negative effect on healthy microbial activity. We order our herbs from a natural source as well. Have fun with the process! Let me know if you have questions.
@@ronmccord8866 really good! This stuff actually works. I grew a squash the size of my leg. I will say that these things (imo, lab, ohn) are very strong. I killed a couple plants by going overboard, but I guess that's part of the learning curve. OHN in particular is great. I drank some of the cinnamon tincture, it was delicious.
I made OHN!!!! Two things. I slacked on the mixing of the containers every day. Shame shame!! Also, when I was about to do extraction 4 I decided to check if it was actually my last one(because calendars are overrated am I right?) I duplicated the process with the same sized jars filled with water to test where I would end up if it was my final..what I found out was my extraction #4 was actually my last extraction. I used jars 1:2 in size so I just wanted to let you guys know to double check it is your second to last extraction because I don't know what I would've done if I had gotten to my last extraction and couldn't fit it into my jar (I mean I would've figured something out but doing it right counts for a lot to me haha). Anyways, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CHRIS! GOD BLESS!
Between you and Drake, I have started my first Fermented Plant Juice, made with Mugwort. I have a patch in an old garden bed which needs to be turned to get the Mugwort going again for next year. Mugwort is used to improve respiration and helps repair lung tissue, Drake says it also pulls toxins out of bone, so helping plants breath and have good structure sound good to me. It's my first FPJ because I don't have all the ingredients for the OHN yet, but I'm close. I also plan to make FPJ out of a few wild plants here (Bush Clover, Sericea Lespedeza), that seem to be tolerating the growing conditions and this crazy drought. I can only assume they must have very deep roots which (I'm hoping) will translate into stronger roots in my vegetable plants and trees. I have heavy clay soil with lots of sharp rocks. The bush clover is being investigated for use as a natural treatment for parasites and pathogens for goats and sheep in a pellitized form. I do worry though that it might mess with the biology of my other inputs when I get further into KNF.
You can just use, what you have. CGNF India recommends to use just cinnamom, ginger and garlic for the OHN. As it takes a while, you have time to figure out how to get the other ingredients and you still have the option to do a second batch with the remaining ingredients. And yes, FPJ is great stuff. I stumbled across the KNF ammendments this spring and fermented many different FPJs. LAB is also a powerful KNF ammendment and easy to make.
Moving from IMO 1 through IMO 4 was looking really simple until I got to this part... wow, this is a quite intensive 3 month project. Thank you for sharing all this information in such a detailed manner!
Hey bro- when I was making o h n for my second soak I forgot where I put the containers I just found them in a box I would say 1.5-2 years later the material is still submerged and the liquid is very thin and smells great. Can i strain and use as 2+year old OHN or is the oversoaking counterproductive?THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THANK U FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO ANSWER MINE/THE COMMUNITY'S SILLY QUESTIONS!!!
Fantastic Chris! Will be performing a third extraction on my OHN set in a couple of days. Never could have made this without your superb video. Everything seems to be rocking along without issue. My cinnamon batch became rather "syrupy" as in thick, but it tastes fine and very similar to the others so I think it is ok. Just waiting for it to warm up enough here to make some IMO.
I finally have all my ingredients, and made it to the fermentation step. I was wondering though why you use 1/10th of a jar for dry ingredients, and other recipes call for 1/3rd of the jar for the dry ingredients? Do you think it matters? Another note: I have Sassafras in my area, reported to be antiviral, also mucilaginous like Cinnamon.
Chris. I know you addressed mold on the ginger in this video and you said it’s ok to use in KNF. But I can’t seem to find any expert on the web that says we can consume it ourselves as OHN. Can we?
Hi Chris, we're still pretty "green" about making OHN first hand and KNF. A quick question please: after the first process to re-hydrate the herbs with alcohol, do we cover each can/jar with paper towel or is it necessary to keep them sealed with like plastic cover?
You are doing great work for humanity.......... You are propagating Dr cho experiments in simple or lay man language..... Thank you..... Present paradigm of agriculture is collapsed or dead..... Only agroecology or Korean natural farming is best solution for present agricultural problems .......central India is primary centre of origin of ginger, turmeric,garlic .......... And south India is hub of biodiversity of cinnamon.......
Could I use my homemade kombucha as the low alcohol fermented liquid to rehydrate the herbs? Thank you so much Chris. Love all this information, it's awesome.
Hey Chris I enjoyed your vid! Was wondering if you could use the extraction on plants at any one point in the process or does one need to take it out to 4-5 extraction before use? Wouldn't just keep getting more diluted with each extraction?
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed your recipy. What i also would love to know is how to use that elexir. maybe i will stumble over that by watching more of your videos... looking foreward to.
Wow, you make a ton of OHN with this approach. I just found Korean Natural Farming and I want to get started asap... Since I'm not doing a large production here in Northern Colorado, do you know anywhere I can purchase OHN so I don't have to wait months in order to finish this process? Of course I'll make my own soon, but I just want to have some handy.
Aloha! Thanks for the instruction video. Question for you - do you need to wait until after 5th extraction to use your ohn? Or can you use some as you go.
+jenious good question! So the first extraction will be the strongest, you can use ohn from the first extraction but use 1/4 the amount or you will be using far too much.
Great video, thank you! One question: When extracting ginger and garlic, you only refill with vodka because the wet material already is 2/3 of the jar?
Thank you for making this video and for sharing this valuable knowledge! I would like to make this for my small garden and am wondering if I could make a smaller batch while still using the same proportional principles you provide?. Thank you again Chris and keep up the great work!
Hey Chris, killer videos on IMO/OHN, its been a real blast watching and learning from your videos. Quick question however, I'm wondering if it would be beneficial in anyway to decrease the size of the dry ingredients. For example, would grinding (or at least crushing) these ingredients help extract more of the anti-pathogenic properties we are looking for? Maybe even decrease extraction time? thanks a lot!
+Zipper Trauma I am stoked that these are helping you! Grow food and share the knowledge:) There is an important difference between what properties I could 'mash' or 'crush' out of a plant and those that are leached out through the break down of cell walls by the minor alcohols that are produced in the fermentation process. So yes you could make the pieces smaller, and I'm sure that wouldn't hurt at all. I do not think however that, that would necessarily bring you to a better or faster process... Try and adapt as you like though! :) I recommend doing it this way once and then making your second an experiment, just so you have a personal reference point to measure success. 👍🏽 Enjoy the process!!
Your instructions were very helpful. I had to rewatch it several times to get all the details. As it is a lot of work, I decided to do it in two steps and simplify the ingredients to three for each batch: I started as recommended by CGNF India with (Ceylon) cinnamom, ginger and garlic. I just need three jars for extraction and if it goes well, I do a second batch with the remaining ingredients. Meanwhile I have time to get the more difficult ingredients. Also a big help was the Shaping Fire podcast episode where Chris explains to the host all the details to OHN.
hi Chris I have failure with my OHN...I use 2 pounds of tumeric and brown sugar...the tumeric expanded and overflowed out of my container twice...the first time I emptied out so that it was 2/3rds full...it's only been three days ...I woke up this morning and the tumeric expanded and overflowed again. this my first attempt with tumeric I haven't tried ginger and garlic... thanks
+Lysander Tudela I am sorry to hear. I am happy that you are trying though. Keep it out of the sun. Use more sugar. Make sure to only fill 2/3 full. I hope these help.
Hey Chris, making my first OHN at the moment. Excited to start using it, was curious if i can use it after the first extraction or should i wait until i finish with all the extractions?? Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for the information, video was wonderfully put together. I had a question as to what kind of cinnamon was used, what if I can only access cassia and can't get zeylanicum/ Ceylon? I hear Ceylon has better health benefits compared to cassia for humans but I wanted to confirm which one you used or if it really even made a difference. Thanks again for your work and for sharing this amazing content
Hi Chris, Thanks for a very detailed instruction. Can I feed OHN to dogs as a natural flea /tick or parasites control, (as most understanding is garlic and ginger is toxic to dogs)? What do you think? Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed video.. I had few questions if you could answer. Can we slow grind all the material dry and wet, to make a coarse powder or paste and then mix with sugar? Can we skip angelica as it is hard to find in our are or if there is any substitute that we can use? Are there other herbs that can be added to current list, like we have basil abundant here, or anything else you are aware has good results? And last you said we need to fill our jars 10 percentage with material. Since you just crushed it I am sure each material weight that went into jar will be different, can that process be bases on weights? X amount of herb and y amount of sugar with appropriate jar to leave space for alcohol?
Tushar Kathuria I watched this video a few times myself and I think he said you can use any ani pathogenic herbs I’m still not shur why he used twice the amount of Angelica as the other two ingredients. I would go online and look up ani pathogenic herbs as well as substitutes for angelica . I have lots of golden rod where I live so I may use some of that I used pau d’ Acro in place of angelica.
So now that you have the individual OHN extractions how do you use them? do you combine them all at once equal parts? or feed in separate applications for different reasons? im not sure what next step is. Can you just combine them all when complete for easier storage and use? Thanks for sharing the info. Im new to this and just started a LAB, IMO1 and FFJ.
Hi Chris, thank you for the great content. I would appreciate if you answered my question: Is it not OK to use isopropyl alcohol to make OHN? Thank you
Another great video Chris Trump. This is definitely one part of KNF that isn't so easy.. I heard you on the Tricky D show say it could be purchased somewhere?
Yeah man it’s a bit of a process. Check out naturalfarming.co By the end of the year the store should be online. I am just finishing a batch to make available.
Interesting....I have looked at how to inoculate garden soil with indigenous micro organisms thru Korean natural farming techniques...thank you for sharing another aspect of this....I looked up how to use and what for thru the university of Hawaii link...the garden behind you is looking good🌈🤙
so each ingredient has its own final extraction bottle? When you want to extract the Cinnamon, do you have a plastic bottle just for cinnamon? same thing for Ginger and the other ingredients? They each have their own final extraction plastic bottle? When you're ready to make the OHN you use some of each final extraction bottle in a new bottle for your final product, a mixture of each of the individual extractions?
Chris do you know which variety of licorice root is preferred by Cho? Im seeing both Glycyrrhiza glabra and Glycyrrhiza uralensis as available. Do you know which is preferred?
Can you shake the jars instead of stirring them for the two weeks in between the extractions? I would think it would accomplish the same thing in a fraction of the time and no chance of spilling. Don't know how it would affect it. Hope someone can help with this.
hi chris, great video, like the others, one thing: when reconstituting dried herb, isn' t it by weight about 20% dried herb and 80% water? like in fresh herb there is about 20% material and 80% water. what that would look like is a jar packed with dried herb and added water. thanks, jurgen
Can I use hemp leaves and stalks to make FPJ OR OHN ? I have a lot at harvest time and this would be a great solution to throwing them away . Please make more videos I love them .
Im in the same situation here in tropics central america Angelica is very hard to find. I ask if i can use the angelica sinensis or dong quai instead angelica gigas... but im not sure at all.
Hello Cris: the ratio 1:1000 mean 1litre of OHN mix water in 1000 litre Example, 1L (cenimon)+2L(Angelica)+1L(licorice)+1L(ginger)+1L(garlic)=1(OHN) It's' correct? Thank in advance?
Hi Chris! Thank you for your teaching! Is it possible to use a higher alcohol proof for the OHN? Instead of Wodka, can I use a food grade ethyl alcohol 190 proof for tinctures? Thank you!!
Thank for your good work. In my place its not possible to get angelica roots, is to possible to make it without angelica roots or what should i use alternaltively?
Hey Chris- would you recommend OHN for internal use? Specifically ginger and turmeric, Or should I just do the first step making a sort of ginger FPJ with just sugar and no stabilizing?
would a kombucha work good to rehydrate? love your channel brother. got hip to you at the Living Soil Symposium in Oregon this year....loving the KNF approach. thx for what you do!!
+Joshua Steensland awesome man. Thanks for the encouragement :) kombucha might work... It would be an experiment... with OHN I wouldn't experiment until you have made it at least once the way you see here. What is this symposium, and how did my name come up? Cool that it did, just don't know anything about it. I'll look it up.
Chris Trump makes complete sense brother. About the symposium a pair of presenters mentioned your farm and suggested we check out your channel in regards to KNF practices working on a large scale. It's put on by Blue fox farms in southern Oregon. Great people and really doing good things.. Wish I had a link for you but it's easy info to locate. Thx again for sharing your experiences! Blessings and the deepest Respect.
Very helpful video!!! Thanks a lot!!! Just 1 question: is it nessesery to make the extraktion 5 times or is that just to get as much as possible out of it? I need some ohn but don t have 3 months time to wait.
Ty mate.I'm ok so far bat watt is it good four???how to use it? on watt? how often? I don't know where to look for the answer and the benefit of this. Not to mention that is made of gold beer and vodka so much of it i almost cry when i see it going in the mix instead of drinking it lol A bottle of vodka is apx $30 AU New to diss and eager to learn mate. Have a g'day mate
Hey Chris. Thanks for the awesome video. I've just watched for the third time and I'm about to make OHN myself. I have a small issue that I can't get Angelica or licorice locally. I've ordered some that might take another two weeks together to me. On going though, I'm not sure it's feasible to keep shipping the stuff 5000 miles to make it in the future. I live in a culture that uses it's own medicinal herbs and wondered what I might look for to substitute for licorice root and angelica root. To add to the problem, I don't have binomials names of the local roots and barks so I wondered if I could try to work out what's best to try based on what they are traditionally used for. Can you give any advice on how to go forward? Thanks, Bill
+William Tolbert I am glad the videos are helping you. You are not alone with this problem... I would recommend you make it with the ingredients that you can get, most of the natural farming community in India do this with a lot of success. So you would have a three part OHN. Mix equal parts for the year and store the rest separately. Enjoy the process man :)
Not some back yard hobbyist, Chris has proven this approach on hundreds of acres of trees among other places. What a blessing that he's not only a good practicing farmer/scientist but a clear teacher! This is super beneficial instruction for restoring healthy soil.
This is so cool .
took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you Chris
Great video and explanations!! Thank you Chris.
Bro!!! This is the best OHN video out there. I'm planning on making one in a couple of months when I have my 5 rounds harvested. But damn brother you definitely killed it. Super detailed. Love it.
+The Sonoran Desert Grower thank you for the encouragement man! This one was a lot of work to film :) Keep on natural farming!
Chris Trump Mos Def bro! We will spread the good word.
The Sonoran Desert Grower how did it go? were u successful at making it ? :)
Jason L I've been practicing KNF for about 10 years, so its nit mu first time making OHN. It is my first time filming it though. Im actually almost done with my how to make OHN video.

Chris trump in my opinion is 1 of the best KNF teachers on youtube very informative clear and easy to understand. The only problem is there not enough videos from lolol.
Rewatching everything after 5 years or so of not doing it, super refreshing and so exciting to see the popularity of knf and regenerative farming now.
I know I'm late to the party here but wanted to let you know that you totally have me hooked on Korean natural farming after watching this video. Very well put together.

Thank you so much for spreading such high quality content on natural farming. I've made LAB, LAB cheese, ffj, and fpj from your videos. Next up OHN and IMO1. Cheers!
seeing this video answered SO many questions that I've had since first reading the SARRA Cho menu. thank you for your time and effort!
+y0brando aloha, glad you like it! :)
+y0brando and you are most welcome
MardiRazzberry chimming in. Thank you for the diligence in preparing and teaching OHN. Listen carefully, replay as often as necessary to understand garlic/ginger extractions. This is well explained when not using exact measurements for everyone's circumstances. 👏 👏 👏
Im finally up to extraction no.5 woot woot . These videos from Chris are the best!!
Hi Chris I really love your videos KNF. Can you make a general video on how much ml to dilute all KNF fertilizer in water and it's uses on plants and soil, intervals of spraying. It would help many.

In my head, extracts that has “alcoholic composition” or “mineral composition” will have a dilution of 1:1000 and 1:500 to the other inputs.
Good general rule. However all the inputs have precise combinations and order to them...alá the nutrient cycle.
Hi Chris, we've spoken briefly on instagram and I want to let you know how thankful and incredibly grateful I am you decide to let us all in on the wisdom. I'm planning to go to the certification classes in Idaho, and look forward to meeting in person. Like a lot of other folks, I'm wondering where you sourced the dry ingredients as my concern is the ones I have used and will be extracting for the first time tomorrow may be a little difficult and may not be..."natural..." they seem very light, whispy/airy/stringy, as opposed to the thick chunks seen here. Thanks for your time and I hope you have/had a great harvest :)
You are insane ... probably the most advanced gardening channel I have come across. I need a PhD its nuts :) Good job mate ....
Here's a tip from a native metric speaker: mls (milliliters) is spoken as 'mills' - like in windmills. 🙂
Great tutorial BTW👍
I’m laughing everytime Chris pulls out a jar, a cinnamon storing stick... a hammer! It’s like he has a parallel dimension drawer on the table.
Man me n my girl were laughing at this exact thing
yes Chris, this is the one I've been waiting for. I thought you were holding out but you have delivered as promised. thank-you for the knowledge.
+ben allotey :) Not holding out, just a bit of a beast to edit. Glad you like it!
Love the way Chris pours those 40 oz out!
Chris, these videos are great. if i may suggest a few tips. It would be great to have more follow up videos on how/when and where to apply these serums. For instances, the LAB video, once the fermentation process is done and you separate the curds, can we use it immediately as soil drench/foliar feed, do we have to add molasses and store it for months? Why add molasses? How do you apply all of these natural farming methods to your farm? Thank you for being a great teacher!
Thank you again sir.. This mix gives me a feeling this stuff could be potentially the go to remedy for everything on the farm.. Colds, flu, animal water tonic... the other preparations admixture, the favorite hopping used in beer... you name it.. I got so excited waiting for payday.. I started making the garlic.. ginger.. I used my residual SAAZ hop from my first beer brew..., some dried SanPedro powder, Some heads of bud mixed with rosemary, sage and feverfew, and for some bizarre reason I had a 50g packet of Astragalus root.. strange coincidence.. So I had beer and everything else that could even help with the Corona virus.. Now I just have to register myself as a monastary and brew my own "Plaag Bier"... hehe...
Excellent video!!! Instructions very clear. I can now finish making my OHN. I stopped when I got to the dry elements. I just wasn't sure how much to put in a jar. The other point I had missed was adding brown sugar to the dry elements after the rehydration period. Thank you!!!!
I am so glad that this helped you, this is the very reason that i made these videos. To spread this knowledge :) Please share it with anyone else that you think it would help.
Great video Chris. One of the most complete videos here on youtube about OHN. Sadly I'm on the process of my second collection and there are a couple of things I would've done different if I had seen your video before I started. Thanks
+David Gonzalez Thank you for the encouragement. I am sure that your OHN will still be really valuable material! Keep at it :)
its refreshing seeing this. I feel a legacy from different ethnicity being passed down. I'm definitely coming to learn next year
We need you back Chris screw the haters in the comments. There is people like me who love your videos
This is my new #1 favorite youtube channel, this information is powerful thank you so much for taking the time to share! 🌞👨🌾🤙
Hi Chris! I'm Rain from the Philippines. Thanks for your video. Its a great help since I started my organic farm. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God Bless.
This is one of the best detailed explanation of Korean Natural farming by Cris Trump I have veiwed all of vedioes not once but more that once. I have prepared all the ingredients for KNF except FAA as in India moset of the people ars vegitaria vegetarian but prepared AMINO ACID by soyabean.
Thanks the CRIS TRUMP for his wonderful efforts .qe couldn't get Angalika , can we do without Angalica but prepared oho of turmeric.
Loving it, appreciate the work you share, and do. I've only recently been hipped to KNF, and it just makes sense. It's a lot of concepts I had been fumbling about, with extracting plant material as a food source, but I never really understood the proper way to do so. Anyway, thanks again for the info, I am sharing it as much as I can, whoever will listen, or shows the slightest bit of interest. Some think I am crazy, but thats ok.Where is the best way to get these dry ingredients? Would love to give it a go. I have don FPJ, JMS, WCA, and always have a nice stash of LABS around. I'm ready for the next step. Peace, Rock On!!!!
I got mine at an Oriental market. I'm in Missouri just outside Fort Leonard Wood. Right in the middle of sharp rock central-- Lol. Some clay mixed in there too.
Good information mate. I use mugwort in the UK also, I found angelica to be a very unpalatable taste for myself. GMMT - ginger, mugwort, mango (FPJ) and turmeric works to keep cold and flu at bay and tastes great - not true OHN, but it's all natural! Keep them videos coming. Respect from the UK.
Thanks for the encouragement :) Your mix sounds like it would taste amazing! When talking with Master Cho they recommend if you are going to consume OHN that you mix it with water and FPJ. Sounds like you are kind of doing that already :)
hi chris just about to get into this from uk any tips would be appreciated. even little about how you have grown from posting your posted as it was a while back
Thank you so much for this video! I finally understand how to do it. This is the best reference I could get online. I'm excited to try this. Greetings from the Philippines!
+Chiara A greetings. It is my pleasure and I am happy this will help you do it!
Best instructionall on OHN I've seen! I'm all over this. Looking forward to hearing you talk more about this. When I went to the Asian grocery store near my house, all of the dried herbs were from China and fumigated with sulfites/sulfur dioxide. I put everything back on the shelf and ordered online from Mountain Rose Herbs where there's OG and untreated. Assuming these preservatives are not helpful during the fermentation process. What do you think?
+Beezlz thanks for encouragement! In my experience agricultural chemicals definitely have a negative effect on healthy microbial activity. We order our herbs from a natural source as well. Have fun with the process! Let me know if you have questions.
@@biomei.solutions Can we mix it with fish feeds?
Just dropped $300 gonna try this soon. You are awesome Chris. God bless!
Weneedto Goback how did it go?
Any good?
@@ronmccord8866 really good! This stuff actually works. I grew a squash the size of my leg. I will say that these things (imo, lab, ohn) are very strong. I killed a couple plants by going overboard, but I guess that's part of the learning curve. OHN in particular is great. I drank some of the cinnamon tincture, it was delicious.
@@davideddy2672 totally ^^
Incredible wisdom-thank you brother! No idea where to start in learning but your videos make it ridiculously easy to remember. Cheers!:)
+Aaron Silva start with IMO 2 :) I'll try and put a simpler version of that one online. Thank you for the kind words!
true ... very true
I made OHN!!!! Two things. I slacked on the mixing of the containers every day. Shame shame!! Also, when I was about to do extraction 4 I decided to check if it was actually my last one(because calendars are overrated am I right?) I duplicated the process with the same sized jars filled with water to test where I would end up if it was my final..what I found out was my extraction #4 was actually my last extraction. I used jars 1:2 in size so I just wanted to let you guys know to double check it is your second to last extraction because I don't know what I would've done if I had gotten to my last extraction and couldn't fit it into my jar (I mean I would've figured something out but doing it right counts for a lot to me haha). Anyways, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CHRIS! GOD BLESS!
Cant watch this instruction video enough! Great job Chris...mahalo for sharing your knowledge! Aloha!

Thanks!
Between you and Drake, I have started my first Fermented Plant Juice, made with Mugwort. I have a patch in an old garden bed which needs to be turned to get the Mugwort going again for next year. Mugwort is used to improve respiration and helps repair lung tissue, Drake says it also pulls toxins out of bone, so helping plants breath and have good structure sound good to me. It's my first FPJ because I don't have all the ingredients for the OHN yet, but I'm close. I also plan to make FPJ out of a few wild plants here (Bush Clover, Sericea Lespedeza), that seem to be tolerating the growing conditions and this crazy drought. I can only assume they must have very deep roots which (I'm hoping) will translate into stronger roots in my vegetable plants and trees. I have heavy clay soil with lots of sharp rocks. The bush clover is being investigated for use as a natural treatment for parasites and pathogens for goats and sheep in a pellitized form. I do worry though that it might mess with the biology of my other inputs when I get further into KNF.
You can just use, what you have. CGNF India recommends to use just cinnamom, ginger and garlic for the OHN. As it takes a while, you have time to figure out how to get the other ingredients and you still have the option to do a second batch with the remaining ingredients.
And yes, FPJ is great stuff. I stumbled across the KNF ammendments this spring and fermented many different FPJs. LAB is also a powerful KNF ammendment and easy to make.
Moving from IMO 1 through IMO 4 was looking really simple until I got to this part... wow, this is a quite intensive 3 month project. Thank you for sharing all this information in such a detailed manner!
I've watches this video at least 13 times. Maybe 48 times. I can't keep track
Maybe it could help you to write things down. Just stop the video to write ❤
Hey bro- when I was making o h n for my second soak I forgot where I put the containers I just found them in a box I would say 1.5-2 years later the material is still submerged and the liquid is very thin and smells great. Can i strain and use as 2+year old OHN or is the oversoaking counterproductive?THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THANK U FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO ANSWER MINE/THE COMMUNITY'S SILLY QUESTIONS!!!
Fantastic Chris! Will be performing a third extraction on my OHN set in a couple of days. Never could have made this without your superb video. Everything seems to be rocking along without issue. My cinnamon batch became rather "syrupy" as in thick, but it tastes fine and very similar to the others so I think it is ok. Just waiting for it to warm up enough here to make some IMO.
+Roy Houston you rock man! So encouraged to hear that you are knocking out that tedious difficult process without trouble! Thanks for sharing!!
I finally have all my ingredients, and made it to the fermentation step. I was wondering though why you use 1/10th of a jar for dry ingredients, and other recipes call for 1/3rd of the jar for the dry ingredients? Do you think it matters?
Another note: I have Sassafras in my area, reported to be antiviral, also mucilaginous like Cinnamon.
Ooh we have tons of sasafrass in our area also (Ohio). I would love to know if anyone’s used this before successfully.
I created some velcro straps instead of rubber bands that fit perfectly around the opening of the glass containers. Just some tip!
Bro what a great dude for real. Thank you from my heart
Chris. I know you addressed mold on the ginger in this video and you said it’s ok to use in KNF. But I can’t seem to find any expert on the web that says we can consume it ourselves as OHN. Can we?
You are the best of the best.
With love from Vietnam.
Love your videos. I've been bin watching them can't wait to try this stuff
Hi Chris, we're still pretty "green" about making OHN first hand and KNF. A quick question please: after the first process to re-hydrate the herbs with alcohol, do we cover each can/jar with paper towel or is it necessary to keep them sealed with like plastic cover?
great video, thanks for the knowledge!
The extraction and adjustment for the wet ingredients would have been great to watch tho.
You are doing great work for humanity.......... You are propagating Dr cho experiments in simple or lay man language..... Thank you..... Present paradigm of agriculture is collapsed or dead..... Only agroecology or Korean natural farming is best solution for present agricultural problems .......central India is primary centre of origin of ginger, turmeric,garlic .......... And south India is hub of biodiversity of cinnamon.......
Could I use my homemade kombucha as the low alcohol fermented liquid to rehydrate the herbs? Thank you so much Chris. Love all this information, it's awesome.
Chris your are the best. Thanks for sharing this video with the world.
Hey Chris I enjoyed your vid! Was wondering if you could use the extraction on plants at any one point in the process or does one need to take it out to 4-5 extraction before use? Wouldn't just keep getting more diluted with each extraction?
+roger twarling it is MUCH more potent in first extraction. If you have to use some, dilute it 1:3000.
Thanks Chris been taking notes all I have to do is trash your fantastic recipe and try wonder where I went wrong.
E Chris, mahalo nui loa. I wish all DIY or How to videos were as easy to follow as yours. He akamai loa kumu!
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed your recipy. What i also would love to know is how to use that elexir. maybe i will stumble over that by watching more of your videos... looking foreward to.
Wow, you make a ton of OHN with this approach. I just found Korean Natural Farming and I want to get started asap... Since I'm not doing a large production here in Northern Colorado, do you know anywhere I can purchase OHN so I don't have to wait months in order to finish this process? Of course I'll make my own soon, but I just want to have some handy.
Aloha! Thanks for the instruction video. Question for you - do you need to wait until after 5th extraction to use your ohn? Or can you use some as you go.
+jenious good question! So the first extraction will be the strongest, you can use ohn from the first extraction but use 1/4 the amount or you will be using far too much.
Have they figured out which plants in Hawaii can be substituted for the original recipe?
Hey Chris I hope you see this and answer. Love ya buddy. My question is this, could I use whiskey instead of vodka or soju for stabilization?
Great video, thank you! One question: When extracting ginger and garlic, you only refill with vodka because the wet material already is 2/3 of the jar?
This is very useful and thanks for the teachings. Can one use blended Cinnamon stick as against the Cinnamon bark
Thank you for making this video and for sharing this valuable knowledge! I would like to make this for my small garden and am wondering if I could make a smaller batch while still using the same proportional principles you provide?. Thank you again Chris and keep up the great work!
Of course, you can make whatever amount you want/need. Better to make more, as it takes 3 months.
Hey Chris, killer videos on IMO/OHN, its been a real blast watching and learning from your videos. Quick question however, I'm wondering if it would be beneficial in anyway to decrease the size of the dry ingredients. For example, would grinding (or at least crushing) these ingredients help extract more of the anti-pathogenic properties we are looking for? Maybe even decrease extraction time?
thanks a lot!
+Zipper Trauma I am stoked that these are helping you! Grow food and share the knowledge:) There is an important difference between what properties I could 'mash' or 'crush' out of a plant and those that are leached out through the break down of cell walls by the minor alcohols that are produced in the fermentation process. So yes you could make the pieces smaller, and I'm sure that wouldn't hurt at all. I do not think however that, that would necessarily bring you to a better or faster process... Try and adapt as you like though! :) I recommend doing it this way once and then making your second an experiment, just so you have a personal reference point to measure success. 👍🏽 Enjoy the process!!
That was a great video! Good looking out!
Your instructions were very helpful. I had to rewatch it several times to get all the details.
As it is a lot of work, I decided to do it in two steps and simplify the ingredients to three for each batch:
I started as recommended by CGNF India with (Ceylon) cinnamom, ginger and garlic. I just need three jars for extraction and if it goes well, I do a second batch with the remaining ingredients. Meanwhile I have time to get the more difficult ingredients.
Also a big help was the Shaping Fire podcast episode where Chris explains to the host all the details to OHN.
Thank you for explaing and showing how to make OHN.
You are most welcome.
hi Chris I have failure with my OHN...I use 2 pounds of tumeric and brown sugar...the tumeric expanded and overflowed out of my container twice...the first time I emptied out so that it was 2/3rds full...it's only been three days ...I woke up this morning and the tumeric expanded and overflowed again. this my first attempt with tumeric I haven't tried ginger and garlic... thanks
+Lysander Tudela I am sorry to hear. I am happy that you are trying though. Keep it out of the sun. Use more sugar. Make sure to only fill 2/3 full. I hope these help.
Hey Chris, making my first OHN at the moment. Excited to start using it, was curious if i can use it after the first extraction or should i wait until i finish with all the extractions?? Thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing so much knowledge Chris. Awesome videos :)
+George T thanks for the encouragement man :)
Thank you so much for the information, video was wonderfully put together. I had a question as to what kind of cinnamon was used, what if I can only access cassia and can't get zeylanicum/ Ceylon? I hear Ceylon has better health benefits compared to cassia for humans but I wanted to confirm which one you used or if it really even made a difference. Thanks again for your work and for sharing this amazing content
I was thinking the same, ceylon have a bigger price here, and is considered healthier. For plants does it matter?
Hi Chris, Thanks for a very detailed instruction. Can I feed OHN to dogs as a natural flea /tick or parasites control, (as most understanding is garlic and ginger is toxic to dogs)? What do you think? Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed video..
I had few questions if you could answer.
Can we slow grind all the material dry and wet, to make a coarse powder or paste and then mix with sugar?
Can we skip angelica as it is hard to find in our are or if there is any substitute that we can use?
Are there other herbs that can be added to current list, like we have basil abundant here, or anything else you are aware has good results?
And last you said we need to fill our jars 10 percentage with material. Since you just crushed it I am sure each material weight that went into jar will be different, can that process be bases on weights? X amount of herb and y amount of sugar with appropriate jar to leave space for alcohol?
Tushar Kathuria I watched this video a few times myself and I think he said you can use any ani pathogenic herbs I’m still not shur why he used twice the amount of Angelica as the other two ingredients. I would go online and look up ani pathogenic herbs as well as substitutes for angelica . I have lots of golden rod where I live so I may use some of that I used pau d’ Acro in place of angelica.
If you are from India- you will get it from Ayurveda shop - Angelica is chorak or chora
So now that you have the individual OHN extractions how do you use them? do you combine them all at once equal parts? or feed in separate applications for different reasons? im not sure what next step is. Can you just combine them all when complete for easier storage and use? Thanks for sharing the info. Im new to this and just started a LAB, IMO1 and FFJ.
If you watched this whole video at normal speed you are a legend!
I did, and loved it. 😅
Hi Chris, thank you for the great content. I would appreciate if you answered my question: Is it not OK to use isopropyl alcohol to make OHN? Thank you
Another great video Chris Trump. This is definitely one part of KNF that isn't so easy.. I heard you on the Tricky D show say it could be purchased somewhere?
Yeah man it’s a bit of a process. Check out naturalfarming.co By the end of the year the store should be online. I am just finishing a batch to make available.
Nice can't wait...lol... Any other products in the future for sale? If so I'm all over it
Chris you are the best. Thanks for the best demonstration
Interesting....I have looked at how to inoculate garden soil with indigenous micro organisms thru Korean natural farming techniques...thank you for sharing another aspect of this....I looked up how to use and what for thru the university of Hawaii link...the garden behind you is looking good🌈🤙
so each ingredient has its own final extraction bottle? When you want to extract the Cinnamon, do you have a plastic bottle just for cinnamon? same thing for Ginger and the other ingredients? They each have their own final extraction plastic bottle? When you're ready to make the OHN you use some of each final extraction bottle in a new bottle for your final product, a mixture of each of the individual extractions?
Chris do you know which variety of licorice root is preferred by Cho? Im seeing both Glycyrrhiza glabra and Glycyrrhiza uralensis as available. Do you know which is preferred?
Can you shake the jars instead of stirring them for the two weeks in between the extractions? I would think it would accomplish the same thing in a fraction of the time and no chance of spilling. Don't know how it would affect it. Hope someone can help with this.
I use the side of a cooks knife to crush garlic. 🔪
Very cool. I just discovered you Sir. I heard good things about you.
Interesting. I can basically use morula brew for this. Its easily accessible here if one can store it safely for long periods.
Is there a video that explains what OHN is and how to use it?
I haven't made one :) you could check out 'farmlife' by my friend Drake. He might.
hi chris, great video, like the others,
one thing:
when reconstituting dried herb, isn' t it by weight about 20% dried herb and 80% water?
like in fresh herb there is about 20% material and 80% water.
what that would look like is a jar packed with dried herb and added water.
thanks, jurgen
Can I use hemp leaves and stalks to make FPJ OR OHN ? I have a lot at harvest time and this would be a great solution to throwing them away . Please make more videos I love them .
I was literally about to joke about how you poured that beer, then you said.
"Going to pour a little different lol"
Thinking locally, I wonder about attempting to ferment the Chaga mushroom into this mix...
Hello brother. Any alternative for angelica root. Its hard to find near my place
Im in the same situation here in tropics central america Angelica is very hard to find. I ask if i can use the angelica sinensis or dong quai instead angelica gigas... but im not sure at all.
Did you find a good alternative?
Hello Cris: the ratio 1:1000 mean 1litre of OHN mix water in 1000 litre
Example, 1L (cenimon)+2L(Angelica)+1L(licorice)+1L(ginger)+1L(garlic)=1(OHN)
It's' correct? Thank in advance?
Hi Chris! Thank you for your teaching!
Is it possible to use a higher alcohol proof for the OHN? Instead of Wodka, can I use a food grade ethyl alcohol 190 proof for tinctures?
Thank you!!
Thank for your good work. In my place its not possible to get angelica roots, is to possible to make it without angelica roots or what should i use alternaltively?
Hello, can I use jadam herbal solution instead of oriental herbal nutrient in KNF maintenance solution?
Hey Chris- would you recommend OHN for internal use? Specifically ginger and turmeric, Or should I just do the first step making a sort of ginger FPJ with just sugar and no stabilizing?
would a kombucha work good to rehydrate? love your channel brother. got hip to you at the Living Soil Symposium in Oregon this year....loving the KNF approach. thx for what you do!!
+Joshua Steensland awesome man. Thanks for the encouragement :) kombucha might work... It would be an experiment... with OHN I wouldn't experiment until you have made it at least once the way you see here.
What is this symposium, and how did my name come up? Cool that it did, just don't know anything about it. I'll look it up.
Chris Trump makes complete sense brother. About the symposium a pair of presenters mentioned your farm and suggested we check out your channel in regards to KNF practices working on a large scale. It's put on by Blue fox farms in southern Oregon. Great people and really doing good things.. Wish I had a link for you but it's easy info to locate. Thx again for sharing your experiences! Blessings and the deepest Respect.
+Joshua Steensland cool man, you remember the names of the presenters? I'm just curious.
Chris Trump I believe it was Mike Wert and a buisness partner. The guy putting it on every year is Chris Jagger with Blue Fox Farms.. Cheers!
Chris Trump Lawrence Anderson co-founder of Gary Ducket in Philly was the other guy mentioning you. 💪💪
thanks! great videos!
what do you think about using thyme in the OHN?
i know that thyme tincture works similar for peoples
You can make stuff with thyme. I would not recommend using it with OHN though. Especially while you get familiar with how KNF works
ok thanks for answering!
and how often do you recommend to apply this formula to the garden?
?hey Chris! do you think it would be the same to use dry turmeric powder like the other dry materials
Very helpful video!!! Thanks a lot!!! Just 1 question: is it nessesery to make the extraktion 5 times or is that just to get as much as possible out of it? I need some ohn but don t have 3 months time to wait.
Ty mate.I'm ok so far bat watt is it good four???how to use it? on watt? how often? I don't know where to look for the answer and the benefit of this. Not to mention that is made of gold beer and vodka so much of it i almost cry when i see it going in the mix instead of drinking it lol A bottle of vodka is apx $30 AU New to diss and eager to learn mate. Have a g'day mate
Hey Chris.
Thanks for the awesome video. I've just watched for the third time and I'm about to make OHN myself. I have a small issue that I can't get Angelica or licorice locally. I've ordered some that might take another two weeks together to me. On going though, I'm not sure it's feasible to keep shipping the stuff 5000 miles to make it in the future. I live in a culture that uses it's own medicinal herbs and wondered what I might look for to substitute for licorice root and angelica root. To add to the problem, I don't have binomials names of the local roots and barks so I wondered if I could try to work out what's best to try based on what they are traditionally used for. Can you give any advice on how to go forward?
Thanks,
Bill
+William Tolbert I am glad the videos are helping you. You are not alone with this problem... I would recommend you make it with the ingredients that you can get, most of the natural farming community in India do this with a lot of success. So you would have a three part OHN. Mix equal parts for the year and store the rest separately. Enjoy the process man :)
Chris Trump great! Thanks!
+William Tolbert I would just use the ingredients of OHN that you can get ahold of and call it good. i.e. Ginger, garlic, cinnamon. Hope that helps
+William Tolbert you are most welcome man! Thanks for the encouragement!
Did you only use one clove of garlic? And the with the ginger to 2 lbs?
I grow vegetables indoors in soil
Can this help control fungus?
And can I safely used this solution in doors
