| 0:40:07 | IMO2- preserved seed IMO |
| 0:41:12 | chemicals as the enemy- use biochar and microbes |
| 0:42:01 | Roundup |
| 0:43:03 | microbes and carbon so chemicals won’t affect you |
| 0:44:04 | good soil |
| 0:45:50 | more about IMO2 |
| 0:52:45 | IMO3- Propagated IMO- it’s complicared and a committment |
| 0:54:43 | Making IMO3 |
| 0:56:00 | KNF Protectors (LAB) |
| 0:57:11 | what dilution rate of water for making IMO? |
| 0:58:19 | add the soil foundation recipe |
| 0:59:25 | what if IMO3 gets too hot? |
| 1:01:01 | measure in metric |
| 1:02:24 | back to IMO3 |
| 1:07:54 | is IMO Master Cho’s invention? |

| 0:01:17 | I Ching Reading – 6- Conflict |
| 0:04:22 | God is Master Cho’s ultimate inspiration |
| 0:05:58 | PureKNF Foundation website redone; enter to win tix to HFUU convention Dec. 2-4 |
| 0:08:48 | click on “Research” and see the University of Hawaii research articles- www.pureknf.org/research |
| 0:10:50 | Natural Farming is conflict-free, bringing balance rather than juicing plants, restoring without conflict |
| 0:11:54 | Buzz Bee porject with rust and black spots on leaves of trees- can KNF help? liquid IMO |
| 0:14:40 | Master Cho’s Soil Environment Recovery from last week- microbes of healthy and diseased leaves |
| 0:15:31 | use KNF Protectors (LAB) for rust and black spots- see the Recipe Book for how to make |
| 0:16:30 | also use the Leaf Formula; alternate with Fruit Formula |
| 0:18:28 | KNF Medicine (OHN) also helps |
| 0:18:54 | KNF Structure (WCP) used on vanilla farm and got a lot of flowers. What’s next? Pollinate and follow Natural Growth Formulas in the Recipe Book |
| 0:21:45 | take classes to understand the cycles- www.knffarm.com to register- Jan. 6-12- only one spot left to stay on the farm |
| 0:23:40 | KNF Medicine (OHN) for post nasal drip- no coughing for 2 years |
| 0:24:47 | Drake had a kidney infection and used chlorine dioxide for treatment |
| 0:26:15 | the chat goes away after 48 hours |
| 0:26:55 | KNF is multi-generational- average farmer age is 60+ |
| 0:27:30 | Master Cho’s Soil Environment Recovery- how to make your soil come back to life- reviewed last week Oct 30 Office Hours at www.knfsupport.com |
| 0:33:18 | Looking for help with Office Hour’s Table of Contents- can get paid- be in touch with Drake at drake@pureknf.org |

| 0:00:00 | Intro and Welcome |
| 0:01:33 | I Ching Reading – Peace- 11- Heaven over Earth |
| 0:05:53 | KNF Structure (WCP) in the Nutrient Cycle? |
| 0:06:56 | phosphoric acid (WPA) vs. calcium phosphate?; phosphorus in banana farming; stunted growth; flowers suppressed; thick skin |
| 0:15:02 | master the basics, bring balance |
| 0:15:19 | how to make WPA, apply and use |
| 0:20:03 | can use charcoal bone meal? |
| 0:20:48 | what nutrients for vanilla beans? see the Prescriptions in the Recipe Book- get the book at www.knfsupport.com |
| 0:24:52 | Master Cho videos on Drake’s YouTube channel about Nutrient Cycle |
| 0:25:30 | can use KNF Structure (WCP) for same symptoms you would use WPA for |
| 0:26:07 | why would you use KNF Structure( WCP) over WPA? |
| 0:27:06 | can use deer bones for KNF Structure (WCP); can use fish bones too |
| 0:27:18 | what to do with leftover cooked crab shells? make chitan; chitanase |
| 0:30:02 | planting a lot of plants and have everything but IMO |
| 0:31:20 | planting advice |
| 0:34:24 | is chitan the same in the shell and in mycellium? |
| 0:36:20 | excess phosphorus can bring imbalance |
| 0:37:40 | Partida’s comment about microbes; wilt; pathogens can be beneficial |
| 0:44:33 | how to scale up JADAM techniques? |
| 0:45:33 | can JADAM sulfur solve potato ate blight? |
| 0:46:06 | good soil, good farming practices are the answer |
| 0:46:18 | fish aminos |
| 0:47:19 | facultative bacteria? |
| 0:47:47 | what method does JADAM use for potassium? no specific solutions- Master Cho is sophisticated |
| 0:48:46 | solutions combined to make prescriptions/formulas are better after blending for @12 hours before use |
| 0:51:57 | soil environment recovery from Master Cho’s presentation |
| 0:52:04 | 3 solutions for soil environment recovery- IMO, Seawater, Grass |
| 0:53:48 | no pesticides, no herbicides, no tilling, no chemical fertilizer |
| 0:55:47 | what happens when you use pesticides, herbicides, tilling, chemical fertilizer |
| 0:56:35 | bad and good rhizosphere environments |
| 0:57:56 | collect IMO |
| 0:58:40 | scaling up IMO- use liquid IMO |
| 0:59:17 | seawater and sea salt dilution |
| 0:59:32 | microbes on leaves |
| 1:00:28 | power of nature- trees can split rocks, don’t till |
