i think this comes to knowing what the plant n soil life needs and what each do separately im no expert but it looks as if the 2 do diff things for the plants  i do believe theres a recipe also in there about making  potassium out of tobacco but its not used in the KNF recipes much at all i also think its a way to make the nutrients plants need that might not be used much but also the KNF way so u dont go out and buy but make at home

( Phosphorous acid can be injected into trees and stimulates improved rooting and pathogen resistance. When plants are colonized with mycorrhizal fungi the ability of plants to utilize soil Phosphorus is increased. )

( Phosphoric Acid is a multi-function agent, used for plant nutrition, pH adjustment and cleansing irrigation equipment (notably dripper lines) from lime precipitation. It is an RICH source of phosphorus for plants. it is suitable for greenhouse crops, open field crops and fruit trees. )

( For example, calcium bonds with phosphorus to create phosphate of calcium. The phosphate brings the calcium through the plant and drops it where it belongs. It transports all nutrients throughout the plant with the exception of nitrogen. )

the best FPJ for your tomatoes is tomato FPJ the tomato plant has everything a tomato needs to be a tomato all the nutrients all the hormones everything …. unsure of the benefits of over spraying i would worry about burning the plants that would be a lot of on demand food for the plants

i think the difference is using the soil in the garden compared to the dirt around the outside we r not taking life from the soil but adding to it gathering strong microbes from forest areas mixing it with our local dirt to add to the soil stronger healthier microbes

I can say iv been using KNF/Jadam for 2 yrs now in all my containers all the way from seed starter trays. I do go from trays (gonna try hrdro plugs from my aero garden this yr) to 1 qt cloth bags and use cloth containers from 1 qt to 150gal the cloth i think allows the imos to breath and also sitting on the ground the imos to pass trough the cloth i get nice fungal growth on the bottoms of the bags where they contact the ground i do also use the 1/3 mix in my containers 1/3 coir or peet 1/3 imo compost 1/3 perlite we have to keep in mind this is container gardening so gotta use all the methods injunction with KNF/Jadam to bring in the life and the WS fertilizers now using the solutions as a soil drench rather then a foliar spray i do get different results as i dont need to feed as much since there will be remnants left behind in the soil that helps to feed the soil life which feeds the plants much like a granulate fertilizer would but dont not last as long  growing indoors though changes a few things most people dont want creepy crawlies in the soil indoors and we cant just pick n choose the biology that goes in the soil the soil food web needs all the players not just a few u could say bring in the microbes from imos but there will be a unbalance in the force when theres nothing to feed on the microbes so u really want a clean growing medium like coir and will be focusing on the water soluble of the KNF just like the bottles of stuff u would buy  using as a spray once a week and just PH water to the soil i think would work the best but i understand not wanting to spray indoors i dont want to either but i do worry about a issue in the soil by using KNF as a drench and think that over feeding would be a real issue being that there will always be a bit of solution left in the coir that the plant does not uptake but i would think that is a common issue when using any fertilizer in the coir so feeding less and watering more i think is the answer i to will soon be growing indoors and have been thinking about this for a long time and testing outdoors and gotta say i grew some nice peppers all in 7gal pots this yr so i know KNF/Jadam will work in containers and i dont see that much of a difference in the method of using store bought to using KNF in a indoor grow system i think it comes down to just figuring out what the plant needs and when and getting the PH right for proper nutrient uptake since there is no soil life to balance the PH i do think that KNF fits very well with indoor growing methods and would be a very easy integration indoor growing methods r based on base inert growing mediums and water soluble fertilizers that screams use KNF to me       Happy Experimenting

anything with a tight sealing lid buckets, jars whatever

there is really good info in the jadam book on composting humanure iv also learned from others that time is what it take to process humanure lots of time even in the jadam method i think it says 1 yr to process if using a dry method id almost say wait 2 yrs before putting it in the garden time is the key

i use KNF/Jadam in all my raised beds in the deep ones i use a hugel method to fill the raised beds and IMO compost on top works great

iv been fertigating through a hose end sprayer for a yr now and it works great u just have to get the solutions correct for your sprayer the one i use has a dial so i adjust the sprayer to the solution i feel that even with overspray im just feeding the soil microbes and the plant so it cant hurt id guess and KNF is cheep enough that spraying extra outdoors through fertigation is not a big deal the only draw back is that unless u r mono cropping u r losing some of the nuance of KNF so i really only tend to fertigate 2-3 solutions on the regular leaf & growth (fat) and root & structure (skinny) i also do soil prep solution through the fertigation those i feel r more of a overall that every plant needs then i go to a pump sprayer during fruiting and ripening to tend to what each plant needs in that cycle of life if u r doing more of a mono crop in your fields id think fertigation would work really well i got the idea from a Drake KNF vid dont remember which vid it was they where making solutions and someone mentioned that one of the guys there uses fertigation for there solutions and they had just done the math to get the ratios right and its worked well for me   happy experimenting

NO

-Denatured alcohol is ethanol with additives or chemicals that make it taste bad or smell bad so that nobody drinks it. Remember, ethanol is poisonous if it is consumed in large quantities, so ingredients such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, and denatonium are added to make sure that doesn’t happen.-

first we have to remember is in KNF if u cant eat it dont use it IMO excluded (dont eat IMO) also in the recipe it calls for a 70 proof only about 35% alcohol this is to tincture the herbs properly and not strip n burn the materiel im sure theres a number of reason as to y its done this way tincturing herbs has been done for 100s of yrs id guess that most mistakes have already been made and the process is pretty sound
