Chris Trump completely changed my methodology for growing everything! and when i need to fall asleep, i put on one of his older videos ive watched a bunch and zzz into permaculture/knf dreamz
Phew! Glad I’m not the only one falling asleep to youtube videos. I always recommend Bob Ross, but also some of Simon Whistlers channels are a recent sleep favorite lol.
I'm Korean American. Been living in Southern California most of my life. And I have never heard of this Korean Natural Farming Method until just 2 days ago on the Nature's Always Right Channel. How very interesting... And I learned about it from 2 white guys on UA-cam LOL. Such perfect timing. Ppl are saying the price of fertilizer is going thru the roof & so whatever shall we do?? Keep calm & learn Korean Natural Farming?? ❤
I’m a chef and work 12 hour days on my bao rice bowl food truck so all day I’m playing Korean natural farming techniques, I’m new to growing but I want to do it this way for my first time, I recently purchased all ingredients to make , JS,JWS,JHS,OHN, and I already made my JMS, got my IMOs, and made FPJ, thanks Steven for introducing it to me on your channel!
This is so refreshing. I accidentally came across knf after viewing a video from a guy named 3 basket living on making jlf and of course there were some suggested videos which I hungrily digested. I live in the Caribbean and we are so dependent on commercial farming practices that are failing. This is definitely a breath of fresh air. Thanks so much for putting this out there on the public domain. I will definitely be utilizing the info I have gathered from these videos. Great stuff
Been working really hard getting things set up here in Butte County. I ask for as much support as possible. I've been delivering microbes and fermented goodies by means of education to many receptive farmers and they are all having amazing results. Last thing for me to incorporate is the JS and I have all the ingredients as of yesterday. Richvale rice growers are also about to adopt these measure as well as some Orchard Farmers in Yuba City. Found someone with 40 years of connections to this area. I feel very luck and blessed to be able to further this at this corner of this amazing state.
@@vc6632 I charge a 100$ upfront to meet and then 30$ an hour. We will work to gather as much information about the farm in those few hours to build a soil regenerative plan revolving around using biochar. In the future our consulting will include hydrological manipulation but are still working towards that goal. At this time we only can handle farms up to 5 acres.
This is a really good interview. I’m a conventional corn/soybean/wheat farmer from Illinois. Today I made my first IMO collection box and made the rice and followed Chris’s instructions and we’ll see what I get. I plan on trying a bunch of KNF/Jadam methods especially Jadam Sulfur. I haven’t heard of people using KNF/Jadam for large grain production so I guess there’s going to be a lot of trial and error in the future.
What a great interview to listen to all day long. @Nature's Always Right, I appreciate your effort to invite interesting people and share with us their successful experiences. I also get a good knowledge of farming from watching your videos. Keep it up. Thank you so much.
Found your channel a while back while looking for information on chickens, years ago saw ya talking with one of my favorite farmers (Curtis Stone) and your information on JADAM and farming in general is being devoured voraciously by my brain. Love this subject. Come from a long line of farmers, and none of my family does this kind of stuff. I hope to learn it all, implement it, and share the good word with as many people as will listen. Thanks for sharing this information for free with all of us through your channel.
As someone with a fancy degree who worked in Biochemistry/Organic Chemistry research, Compound Chemistry, Virology, and Food Sciennce labs this all makes perfect sense. I always assumed it was possible. The issues hinge upon identification of what's what, duplications of methods in different locations, scalability and troubleshooting... The internet is indeed a blessing.
Wow. This really resonates with my purpose. Can't wait to saturate myself with this discovery and begin putting Natural Farming into high gear. ThankS for sharing.
I’m currently an FC student of Dr Elaine and I see KNF farmers mention her and the food web principals. But I’ve been trying to figure out the KNF practices that differ from the soil food web practices and the differences between aerobic which is the only method Dr Elaine emphasizes and anaerobic or fermented practices from KNF? Thanks for the video!
Much of it overlaps, KNF goes more into theory based on observation and understanding of nature, no technology needed. But now with soil science and what Elaine has uncovered we now have the evidence of say how fungal dominant IMO can be. Chris told me he's gotten 4:1 fungal results before, I've seen the scope images of many people's samples and no other method can produce what I saw. KNF IMO3/4/5/LIMO are aerobic processes even more controlled than thermophilic. Fermentation is with sugar, extraction with alcohol or vinegar.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight thank you that’s a bit more clear of the cross-sectional understanding of the two practices. My father was from Seoul Korea so KNF has been something I’ve been keeping my eyes and ears open to once I’ve garnered the capacity to fully understand the morphology and trophic levels of the soil food web.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight What about Elaines theories against anaerobic microbes? According to Elain anaerobic microbes are bad and should not ever be cultured or applied. However, in JADAM, they seem to welcome it and see it was extremely valuable. These two concepts confuse me and both make sense.... but what is correct?
@@NagashiChidorii both is correct. JADAM methods intend to cultivate good anaerobic organism, as bokashi fermentation do. Elaine refers to regular uncontrolled anaerobic processes in the soil due to compaction and lacking drainage, where the "bad guys" take over.
There are many interesting podcasts featuring Chris. For example no-till growers podcast, shaping fire, nutrition heretic, growing with fishes podcast,...
Thanks for interviewing Chris. Great stuff. A question that I would like to have heard is: how would a KNF protocol/strategy look for a farm that produced annual mixed vegetable/mostly greens (as opposed to perennials and trees, to which IMO is more intuitively and ecologically targeted)?
Still a highly valued input. I’m 100% organic veg farmer. IMO has changed the game. (Even in brassicas, which I don’t grow anymore, but we are further discovering even brassicas make a mycorrhizal connection). For leafy greens, FAA is your jam.
@@ronnniehazeus imo 3 or 4, take months to mature to the point that you take it to imo5 and distribute/spread it over the plants. That gives time for the fungi that you have collected to grow out, before application. JMS, which is the solution jadam makes from leaf mold, is more like a compost tea, which is grown out over 24 to 48 hours, depending on temps. now if you extract yeasts and fungal spores, and that is distributed, and where you distribute it is mulched over so that they can grow in place, then you could get similar results from that style of jms, as imo, but the fungi will be growing out after application. The bacteria reproduce every twenty minutes, fungal yeasts and filamentous fungi take hours to days to grow out and sporulate , so they dont really grow in the jadam jms method prior to application, just not enough time, you are mainly just extracting existing fungi, and hopefully maintaining them in a form that can regrow, after the jms process and application.
@@idiocracy10 thank you for taking the time to explain the science is so interesting. Do both jms and IMO compliment each other or is one better than the other for vegetables?
Another great video . Very interesting interview. I m really interested into learning more about jadam methods but his books seem to be currently unavailable on amazon, at least the paperback edition that i want. Any clue when they get back on sale? Keep up the good work. Greetings from Greece.
I’m in Phx, AZ desert climate. I’m having trouble finding a large old tree with leaf mold here that flourishes naturally. The leaf mold on my trees is far more alive. I was thinking of making an imo under soil that has been in my chicken run with years of rotting wood chips, chicken poo etc that is very fertile. What do you think?
Phytophthora means "plant destroyer". Classified as an fungal-like algae in the Omycetes order. Related to Pythium, the cause of the Irish potato famine. I studied Phytophthora capsici root rot on chilie pepper in the southwest US
Dude the way he moved the camera I was like whoah that was awkward, should he have done that? And then a few seconds later I realized how harmoniously composed the new framing was.....metaphor? You decide!
Excuse me, I am beginning to learn about KNF, but my biggest unanswered question so far is. How can you make these IMO stuff for the whole garden? Are they applying homeophatic measurements? Or are they creating these IMO big scale? Cooking loooot of rice?
It is based on traditional Korean fermentation processes done originally in large ceramic jars buried in the ground called Onggi. But there is also a differentiation between fermentation and putrefication. One is carbohydrate breakdown, the other protein breakdown. Putrefication is not bad necessarily as it is commonly thought. There are benefits to each. As Nature’sAlwaysRight said, you can make all of these ferments/putrefied tonics yourself, but must understand the goals and intent of each process. Larger volumes are possible with the various IMOs and each IMO builds off the other. You feed the ferment properly and it grows, so it does not require a crazy amount of work to grow it. Similar to brewing a traditional Korean herbal medicines, tonics, sauces, syrups, pickles, liquors, etc. All of this is open sourced findings shared by Korean innovators (also many Japanese teachers have similar techniques), you don’t have to pay a class for it. You can learn online and by visiting Cho Family.
How much water/liquid and brewing infrastructure does one need for 750 acres? I have been intrigued by KNF ever since I first read the JADAM book, but struggle to figure out how to do it for a large horticultural farm?
For me the biggest obstacle to KNF is poison ivy. I am unwilling to go into remote undisturbed areas to get the IMO in my area because there will likely be poison ivy and that stuff tears me up.
Mr. Cho HanKyu, Mr Cho YoungSang, and the entire Cho family teach the Korean natural farming techniques for very low cost and provide all the information you need for free. Go to the source. They are truly teaching to help and restore and refine our traditional Korean techniques for cultivation.
Trees produce strong natural antifungals, as do fungi themselves. Surely an answer to that root fungus problem lays within IMO, the trees themselves, and application of beneficial fungi. It's a matter of testing cultures, or isolating the antifungal properties from the trees or a fungus.
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. Compost does not have these issues and is generally recognized as safe and effective.
500 deaths a year combined for ecoli and salmonella which is about the number of people struck by lightening each year. Only immuno-compromised people die, but even then extremely rare. So calling those bacteria dangerous is a straight up lie, we all have ecoli in our guts. Poorly made manure based compost can of course have ecoli in it.. are you sure you're a scientist or just someone who repeats what they were told to believe by a university? "Safe and effective" with that phrase I know exactly the fake science you believe in.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight Read what I wrote. E. coli is but one iaaue. As an agronomic researcher in Taiwan I contracted cholera during a trial of this technique and nearly died. You are playing with biological fire. This is not how nature works.
How does one reverse the detrimental affects of the spraying in geoengineering? Where I live, the skies are littered with a nano particulate chemical shit storm raining down on earth. The soil, air and mist tests have revealed high levels of aluminium, strontium, barium and lithium. Do you guys test the heavy metal content in the soils you're trying to regenerate? I'm making plant fertilisers, and been using the whey from milk kefir, worm tea and home-made compost in my suburban garden with good success. Because of where I live, I haven't found a piece of land that hasn't been over sprayed with round up to be able to find some leaf mold. I'm trying to make my own by using the compost I make. But basically, I'm looking for answers to the chemical shit storm that's being sprayed on us almost daily.
I'm completely irritated I didn't know you were giving a class in Franklin!!! How do I find out about your next class?? I'm sometimes stuck on what things I can use since I'm in TN and have nothing tropical.
new to this great subject... hey guys acronyms are annoying esp if you wanna get the newbies infoed up quick... but hey it made me go down the rabbit hole way farther faster and wow! cool sh indeed! this revitalized boomer gal is Onboard!
Very interesting interview. Thanks for sharing. It's cool to hear another profitable organic business. Also, is it just me or Chris sounds a bit like Cleveland from Family Guy? :)
You guys at the end all chill and like, "it's been really cool," and "yeah, it has, thank you," sounds like when I bring my dankest herbs and concentrates and someone else brings theirs and we just have a completely atomic session 😂🤣👍 Cheers amigos 👋
I would LOVE a video explaining the difference between IMO and the JADAM recipes. When would each be used? What are the benefits of each? The JADAM book says it's an improvement and simplification of KNF. It seems like Chris feels like both are necessary though.
No, if you look under the microscope the results will be very different. IMO3/4/5/LIMO are fed specific foods using precise time and temperature to grow out and culture the captured ultimate diversity microbes. JMS is bacterial dominant, a quick shot of less diverse less potent microbes. Better for veggie crops than trees, Mr. Cho says to only use JMS twice a year on trees if I remember correctly. IMO is fungal dominant and in general we want to push our farm soils towards 1:1 for many crops. Most of our soils are extremely lacking in fungal diversity so boosting that is insanely valuable. IMO because it's fungal dominant and trees prefer fungal dominant soil it's extremely good for trees. They both have their uses. JMS is amazing for how cheap and fast you can make it. No better faster, easier way to get microbes from nature I've seen.
We do have stuff that is government funded but yeah not the natural farming concept here in the US. No instead the government rather put money into needle exchange programs, and such things.
Why so many acronyms? JMS, IMO, JADAM, JMS or IMO 2/3/4? Granted, IMO was eventually defined as Indigenous Micro Organisms, but this hardly seems like the best way to spread the gospel. Thanks for trying tho … just would be nice not to have things obscured.

Excuse me, I am beginning to learn about KNF, but my biggest unanswered question so far is. How can you make these IMO stuff for the whole garden? Are they applying homeophatic measurements? Or are they creating these IMO big scale? Cooking loooot of rice?
You make IMO2/3/4 which makes a lot more material. Then you can make liquid IMO for scale.
It is based on traditional Korean fermentation processes done originally in large ceramic jars buried in the ground called Onggi. But there is also a differentiation between fermentation and putrefication. One is carbohydrate breakdown, the other protein breakdown. Putrefication is not bad necessarily as it is commonly thought. There are benefits to each. As Nature’sAlwaysRight said, you can make all of these ferments/putrefied tonics yourself, but must understand the goals and intent of each process.

IMO3/4/5/LIMO are fed specific foods using precise time and temperature to grow out and culture the captured ultimate diversity microbes. JMS is bacterial dominant, a quick shot of less diverse less potent microbes. Better for veggie crops than trees, Mr. Cho says to only use JMS twice a year on trees if I remember correctly. IMO is fungal dominant and in general we want to push our farm soils towards 1:1 for many crops. Most of our soils are extremely lacking in fungal diversity so boosting that is insanely valuable. IMO because it's fungal dominant and trees prefer fungal dominant soil it's extremely good for trees. They both have their uses. JMS is amazing for how cheap and fast you can make it. No better faster, easier way to get microbes from nature I've seen.
Badass! Just saw your channel, and thought immediately, this guy should check out KNF if he’s tryin Bokashi!
We do have stuff that is government funded but yeah not the natural farming concept here in the US. No instead the government rather put money into needle exchange programs, and such things.
2 GOATS!
I love you
Did he say "Pick better rent payers?
Is he related to President Trump? What a name
No relation at all.
Are you related to Aunt Jemima? What a picture
Great last name.
Are you resting the land every 7 years? As in Bible?
Can Chris talk more quietly?
Call me crazy, but it all seams like a no brainer. Nature, not chemicals from a man, who tells you that you need that...
Why so many acronyms?
JMS, IMO, JADAM, JMS or IMO 2/3/4? Granted, IMO was eventually defined as Indigenous Micro Organisms, but this hardly seems like the best way to spread the gospel. Thanks for trying tho … just would be nice not to have things obscured.
