Zulaikha,

40%/80 proof is the most common and not as expensive as a higher percentage. 100%/200 proof would cost more, probably not worth the price for a better extraction. You need at least 35-40% to properly tincture.

It’s worth the time and effort, OHN will keep in the fridge for a year. I mix them 1p each with 2p angelica root as I need it, otherwise each ingredient is independent sitting in the fridge.

The blood and water can turn the batch no good. I have found in my experience it is best to work with just the solids. The blood can be fermented separately for more immediate use.

Mineral A-D are special extracts that Master Cho makes. He has never taught the recipe, and in our testing of them vary greatly from batch to batch. The closest we have come to making them is to put different rocks into what he calls a BMW Machine. Because the minerals are not readily available or consistent, they are not part of the 9 Core Solutions, and instead we advise the use of seawater to get a balanced amount of all minerals, which is nearly identical to Mineral A.

Feel free to dig deeper into this though, there are many references throughout my videos of Cho talking about the minerals.

Water Soluble Phosphoric Acid does help during the change-over period and should be used by advanced natural farmers.

Hi,

OHN will help keep fat/lipids down, but a dash of IMO4 will really really help keep the top dissolved.

I would not use LAB on top of your FAA.

To make a good FFA, it takes 3-6 months… if you get it right 1:1 BS/Fish, just let it sit until it’s completely liquid.

I do this in a glass jar, then put it in the ground, (outside) in a hole an check on it later.

What is your temperature in which you’re fermenting at? Are you covering the top with a good 1inch of BS?

As long as the areas aren’t under water for a period of time you should try it. Otherwise go up in elevation if you can to avoid anaerobic conditions. You can also collect from any other undisturbed area so you will have diversity in your collections.

You still might want to add sugar so you do not end up with alcohol.

hey craig!

I’m pretty sure this site does get used. I check in on a weekly basis. Also, the Pure KNF Foundation which sponsors this project is also sponsoring my Office Hours, which is live help on YouTube, Sundays 9am HST.

Glad you are here, and it’s always an interesting thing to get folks to build community. The Korean Natural Farming group on facebook is pretty popular, but doesn’t have nearly the quality of answers that exist here.

The classic saying “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink”. YMMV.

aloha!

Tomatoes alternate between puberty, chubby, and skinny cycles on a two week basis. If you observe closely, you will see one week, the chubby phase of putting out leaves, then the following week entering the skinny phase where the plant stretches and throws out a new fruit panicle. So phasing it every other week to be alternating between chubby and skinny, replacing the skinny every other time with a puberty.

chubby|skinny|chubby|puberty|chubby|skinny|chubby|puberty and so forth.

Hello. Somehow you need to keep your soil covered to protect and feed your microbial life. Have you done any experiments with under sowing legumes between rows? You may also want to consider doing alternating strips. One year you have a strip in wheat and the strip next to it in a multi species cover crop that is specifically selected for your climatic conditions. Then the next season switch these strips out.

Are you talking 1000’s of acres?  If so I would encourage you to do a small area initially and then after you have fine tuned what your doing then scale up appropriately.

I make my living growing on 1/10th of an acre. So I’m very much on the other end of the spectrum!
