IMO 2

Good Morning,

My question is after you mix your IMO 1 into IMO 2 do you still leave your 1/3 air space for your microbes?  I did not follow that and my mixture completely dried out in my jar.  I suspect that is why it dried out.

Thank you

i want to say yes but no in the book i have it dont say leave 1/3 air but does show a air gap at the top of the jar so id say yes 2/3 1/3 does apply as in most KNF but i also see in vids much larger air spaces in chris trumps IMOs meaning as u use it u dont put it in a new jar to keep the 1/3 air constant so no its not needed per say…. i would suspect it dried out from being kept to warm or there was such a thin layer it did dry out or the starting rice moisture content was to low… IMO is the hardest part of KNF iv been trying to get the perfect collection for a couple yrs but theres always something off and i just end up using it all by the end of the season cause its just not worth keeping long term but i will say i do make some dame good compost with it all lots of funguys

 

Happy Experimenting

    So i had it in a gallon glass jar and it was a thin layer so that is probably why. I will put it in smaller glass next time and leave that 1/3 air gap. I think it was just a to thin of a layer and dried out. At least i made some IMO 3 and 4 out of it. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way but that’s OK. KNF for Life!!
