Thanks for the update. Please keep us in the loop on your applications of various soil and foliar drenches. I'm using some of these techniques and hope to work more into my garden disciplines.
Awesome videos, all of them on JADAM. Just a question, and based on Mr Cho's point: why is stink/odor bad? It's a misconception that we should leave be and accept. Thanks for sharing the experience. Much appreciated
The stink per se isn't bad. Its mostly hydrogen sulfides some nitrogen/sulfur compounds, methane, and carbon dioxide. Thus the stink is mainly the various sulfur gases formed during decomposition. Depending on the feed stock, high protein and/or high sulfur content feed stock will yield the gases in greater quantity. I guess I'm of the thought that if I can add materials in the JLF that can bond to these potential gases I can keep the sulfur or nitrogen losses lower adding benefit to the fertilizer while also getting low to no odor issues that might irritate other folks. Fundamentally there is nothing wrong with doing nothing either and letting nature be what it is. The smell subsides either way once fermentation is complete
Hi, great video thanks, I love your methodical and logical explanations, when you've mixed all your JLFs together in the bucket before its measured out for the water would adding some leaf mould help keep the process alive until the next application and extend its biology until it's used and just filter it again?
Thank you so much for these videos on JADAM. We are opening up new ground in East Texas that has never been farmed . The soil is deep sand with red clay under it. It had mostly Pine trees on it until we cleared part of it for our home and gardens. My question is should I make the nutrient solution like you did in this video or make the one with the potatoes and sea water in it to use on this new soil before we plant or add organic matter to the soil ? The soil seems pretty dead other than the Pine tree roots we’re digging out.
The JADAM Microbe Solution or JMS is typically applied as a soil drench and is applied pre-planting at a dilution rate of 1:10 once every 4-5 days apart 4 times before planting. Usually this is combined with a JADAM Liquid Fertilizer, JLF, at the same time with a dilution rate of 1:100. We use the JMS as follows 1 liter of JMS to 3 gal of water covers 25-30 sq ft of bed. The JLF is added to the same drench bucket at a rate of approx 4oz or 1/2 cup per 3 gal. Before the drench we make sure the area has been well irrigated so the soil has moisture in it before applying. The goal of the drench is to drive the JMS/JLF deep. The microbes in the JMS move with soil water so we apply the drench heavy then irrigate again for 20-30 minutes after wards. We have found that this is a process that improves soil over time in conjunction with adding good organic matter to the soil too. The organic matter is the long term food source for the soil microbes in addition to the exudates from plant roots. Important! If your soil is alkaline or already has a high sodium content back off on the sea salt or use a sea mineral substitute like C-90. Hope this helps, best wishes on the new ground!
@@BareMtnFarm thank you so much, this gives me direction to proceed. Our soil is acidic and most people have to add quick acting lime each year to get the ph up to where it will grow anything. We want to try the KNF in combination with JADAM to see if we can create a long term solution instead of a quick fix that only last one growing season.
@@TheRedhawke in your situation with new ground I would really focus on adding many doses of JMS before doing anything else... the most important part is to get very high quality leaf mould meaning its highly biologically active... be sure to get it from a source close to your farm that has been undisturbed for as long as possible... using this will inoculate your new ground with the Indigenous microorganisms that thrive in your area...
@@gardenlikeavikinghow would you use JMS when growing in containers? Would I just dilute it 1 to 100 and water like normal or put a small amount concentrated and then water after that?
great day! great idea - the addition of azomite and biochar. how was the odor control with your concoction? because the JLF usually goes really bad. mygreathanks
What are your views on getting fish waste from fish markets fermented into a solution along with plants ? I mean sea fish rather than the lake or river fish.
Do you just keep adding plant material and water to the barrel in an neverending cycle? I'm trying to find out what is done with the spent plant material, if anything.
You could use the canes but only in the green stage. Once they have turned or start to turn the canes have more cellulose and lignin which doesn't work in anaerobic decomposition. The leaves in green stage are always good, brown stage no.
Hi @Shelley Edwards you can use JLF made from grass or from the discarded fruits of the trees and use this when irrigating your trees at a dilution rate of 1:200. Be sure to water deep when you do it to get it deep in the soil.
I have found that if I do get JLF on my hands and I can't wash the smell off, I can just stick my hands into some worm castings or other finished compost and the smell changes to more of a compost smell. Must be the interaction/balancing of the various microbes in the anaerobic ferments with those in the vermicompost or finished compost, but I am no expert.
Smells much like a sewer smell to me but it certainly works well for fertilizer in these times of fertilizer shortages. Thanks very much. P.S. keep it off your shoes for sure!
Drill a hole and put a ball valve i have a 32g trash can i made for bokashi that i repurposed for jlf brewer i have a 100g tank I'm making too also has ball valve at bottom.
Last year I discovered something similar, called bio emzyme. It's made from food waste (fruit and vegetable peels), brown sugar or molasses and water. Is there anything like that in JADAM?
Hi @Maja Petric In JADAM the only thing that is a similiar fertilizer is the JADAM Liquid Fertilizer (JLF). It can be made with a wide variety of things including making it with food wastes. The thing about JADAM is that Youngsang Cho's process did not rely on sugar as his focus was on using materials indigenous to his Farm in Korea. Sugar in all forms in Korea is an import. So he found that he could achieve a reliable anaerobic fermented fertilizer by just adding water, leaf mold soil, water, and perhaps some rock dust if necessary to most any organic plant material or food waste. He also found that sugar ferments tended to make solutions that are more acidic whereas JLF in most all cases is near neutral in pH. In the end it sound like both will achieve the same ends.
Hi @dev bachu Yes! definitely always dilute this. We dilute it at a ratio of 1:200 and apply it as a soil drench on a 7-10 day rotation when plants are growing.
I’ve dumped an alfalfa brew straight on cannabis but I only brewed it for 14 days... and then I watered it in and they loved it... but it didn’t have the same time to react so maybe it would have been harmful if I let it brew longer I dunno
"The initial punch in the face..."
Best description I've heard.
Yeah, no other way to put it. Thanks for watching!

Hi @Terence McClammy we do plan to do more videos on the uses of these materials. Thanks!
Have you done any experiments with it against a control group? Would love to see it
It's great I should make it .thank you .
You are welcome. Give it a try, hope it works well for you. Thank you for watching.
Great video ! I’m learning !
Question :So you do t have to wait a year ?
Really enjoyed this video,, lots of good information, will be making my JADAM Fertilizer Solution soon
Love from the Bahamas 🇧🇸
You can start giving plants a little boost at this time.. early spring
Yup, @Shelley Edwards We have already been using it on our ranunculus, stock, and sweet peas.
What ratio do you recommend for fruit trees

Trying to find the rapitest pH meter. Can you add it to your amazon store please?
We just added the one we think will be the best. Thank you for watching and buying through our Amazon store. We really appreciate it! 😊
Would you use around the same dilution on growing vegetables, say corn cabbage , tomatoes?
Yes, absolutely. for field applications we use between 1:200 to 1:100 depending on how the plants look.
Do you just keep adding plant material and water to the barrel in an neverending cycle? I'm trying to find out what is done with the spent plant material, if anything.
good stuff guys do have a recipe for growing your "medicine"?
Will you update us on the dianthus and how they look after the jms input
Could we add RID-X to the bucket to speed up the process?
Jaddam uses compost with 20-40% manure
This fertilizer is the activator and chelate for the compost (it maximizes your compost)
Thanks for the info. Have you ever heard of anyone trying this with blackberry canes or leaves?
You could use the canes but only in the green stage. Once they have turned or start to turn the canes have more cellulose and lignin which doesn't work in anaerobic decomposition. The leaves in green stage are always good, brown stage no.
what a great video, thank you!
Do you have some things for tropical and subtropical soil jlf? Please help me in that 🙏
Can you put this on fruit trees or nut trees !
Hi @Shelley Edwards you can use JLF made from grass or from the discarded fruits of the trees and use this when irrigating your trees at a dilution rate of 1:200. Be sure to water deep when you do it to get it deep in the soil.
why air tight?

Must be the interaction/balancing of the various microbes in the anaerobic ferments with those in the vermicompost or finished compost, but I am no expert.
Spray some
LAB on your hands and you should be good
Smells much like a sewer smell to me but it certainly works well for fertilizer in these times of fertilizer shortages. Thanks very much. P.S. keep it off your shoes for sure!
It works very well for us. Keeping off shoes, boots and clothes, is a very good idea. Thanks for watching.
Is that mold ok?
Yes the mold on top doesn't mean anything. You can just mix it in or scrape it off whatever. It has no negative effects on plants or soil
@@BareMtnFarm ok thank you so much, I'm working on my 1st run of it, wanted to know in case I come across it
Drill a hole and put a ball valve i have a 32g trash can i made for bokashi that i repurposed for jlf brewer i have a 100g tank I'm making too also has ball valve at bottom.
you can go upto 1:100 dilution for best results use with LAB or IMO that way you wont burn your plants
The minerals will be oxidized if left open for days and not used.

Or you can google 275 tbs to gallon. Instant answer......
Pls make a short video , don't expand it more.... thanks for good info
But let it be short...thank you sir
So your gonna tell the guru to be short with his teaching because you have adhd smh
