Green mold (trichoderma) – 🧡 KNF Support

Hey Drake,

My trichoderma problem in a batch of IMO seems to have migrated to the IMO in my pigs’ floor.

Any ideas on how to deal with this?

Other than removing the entire floor, I was thinking of adding more IMO4 to compete with the green mold, as well as periodically spraying the floor with liquid IMO2.

A wise man once said that farming is moving from one disaster to another. Seems he was right.

To get the trichoderma under control in this situation, I recommend using KNF Protectors. The broad family lactic acid bacteria are adept at helping to control other pathogenic biology that gets out of control. In this case, you could dilute the KNF Protectors at around 1:100 (about 10x stronger than normally recommended) to ensure that you get a lot of them in there to correct this problem. Also including the other standard KNF Solutions recommended in the Soil Preparation Formula is also a good idea.

Another more radical approach is to use concentrated vinegar. Like a 30% concentrate sprayed in there will definitely kill most everything, but could also burn things, so I’m not recommending this, but perhaps look into it.
