Office Hours – Dr. Drake – Apr 24, 2022
| 0:00 | Intro and Welcome |
| 2:10 | iChing- Inner Truth |
| 4:20 | we have to do Inner Truth with Natural Farming, no force, it’s subtle; how can I cooperate with trillions of other life forms? |
| 7:00 | citrus trees in Australia; don’t wait for OHN to make IMO3 |
| 8:20 | trees in pregnancy phase; make KNF Food (FPJ) out of something that aggregates magnesium; and also as the IMOs get into your soil they will find the magnesium |
| 9:40 | tomatoes also in the pregnancy phase- there’s a two week cycle- look at the leaves for the cumulative (chubby/leaf) growth stage; when it stretches (skinny growth) it’s more reproductive growth- notice this |
| 13:00 | apply leaf growth spray when it’s chubby; when it reaches out, give the reproduction growth |
| 14:15 | with lime, one week spray leaf, next week spray puberty/changeover and the third week apply the fruit spray |
| 14:52 | how much IMO4 do I put around my trees? about 3-5 lbs per tree; sprinkle it around the drip zone |
| 15:30 | it is worth doing in the winter; the microbes will penetrate the soil; feed them with the soil solution for a couple of weeks in a row |
| 16:55 | can I make a large batch of tea just using KNF Protectors/Police (LAB)? Yes but you must include the nutrients |
| 17:48 | 55 gal- add .2 liters (200ml) |
| 18:14 | encourage mushrooms- spray the nutrients and they will pop during certain seasons |
| 18:45 | Saskatchewan CA and far from the ocean- can replace fish aminos with beef aminos? yes, good idea, especially the brains, and when finished remove bones and use them for something else |
| 19:42 | sugar cap on the top of the KNF Fuel- it’s just a start, do it once, it will dissolve; don’t top it up, you’ll add too much |
| 20:28 | all beef parts are good to use |
| 20:46 | Mega Profit Farming book is sold out now |
| 21:07 | C90 sea salt to make sea water |
| 22:55 | take out personal stuff? |
| 23:57 | making sea water |
| 24:30 | BRV, vinegars made from fruit |
| 26:27 | white vinegar for extraction |
| 26:43 | OK to buy stronger ingredients and dilute to save money |
| 28:28 | feeding pigs on the internet |
| 30:30 | picture of IMO collection, spread the knowledge |
| 32:27 | mango orchard in India- structure and reproduction made from plant sources? KNF reproduction can be made from coral |
| 34:10 | biochar in a retort |
| 35:29 | making vinegar- can mix them? |
| 36:18 | KNF Protectors- when to use, not use |
| 37:38 | soil success |
| 38:34 | preventing critters in IMO collection boxes |
| 43:12 | IMO collection |
| 47:13 | disgustingly cheap microbes- JMS- |
| 50:00 | which solutions to add? |
| 51:20 | can use different grains than rice? starches? |
