In practice the Angelicas are almost identical in effect. The cinnamon and licorice will have slightly different properties, but will still be effective as the idea of OHN is KNF Medicine primarily focused on digestion and supporting female reproduction.

Thank you for the response, I am going to continue to do the spraying and hope things work out.

In my experience aquatic plants tend to be harder to ferment. They tend to putrefy instead of ferment.
A ULC KNF Food may be a better recipe for doing this as it is based upon putrefaction.

Root aphids can be taken out with an ULC KNF Pest Recipe as follows:
- 5 liters of soft water
- 100 mL of liquid soap
- 100 mL of herbal solutions made from Jerusalem Artichoke or other herb
- 10-20 mL of liquid sulphur (optional)
Of course this recipe can scale as appropriate.
The method of application is to drench the soil twice a day until the aphids die. Once in the morning and just before evening are best. Be careful not to drown your plants. Also, if you are using this preventatively, reduce the soap and herbs to 50mL and do not include the sulphur.

In practice, ULC KNF Microbes alone may not be enough to create a balanced soil ecosystem.
The microbes are like workers, and they need sandwiches, material to build with and tools to be productive. So to extend this analogy out in terms of the KNF Solutions we work with:
- Workers = (ULC) KNF Microbes
- Sandwiches = (ULC) KNF Food
- Materials to build with = KNF Minerals
- Tools to be productive = KNF Cleanser and KNF Medicine
In the case of nematodes, this complete recipe needs to be drenched deep. Either fully saturating the substrate or if in the ground, going at least a meter down once a week. If you apply before a rain, can make more concentrated and the water will do the depth penetration for you!
Now, if you need to immediately kill the nematodes I found this paper that says “In addition, sulfur 100 mg/kg of soil caused 70% and 69% decreases in the final population and reproduction factor of the nematode, respectively”
So go with liquid sulphur diluted at 1:100 and liquid soap diluted at 1:50 into soft water, and drench it deep! Only use this 2-3 times in a row to kill the nematodes, then follow it with the above recipe to restore living balance to the soil.
