Disgustingly Cheap Food, OHN Ginger Ratio, and IMO Smell Check
Drake covers disgustingly cheap food, or DCF. Don't aerate the barrel itself. Let it sit and get nasty, then draw off juice, dilute it 1 to 100, and aerate that diluted juice instead. For year-old KNF food made from growth tips, dilute it more, around 1 to 500, and use it for the fruiting stage rather than the juvenile stage.
For foliar soap sprays, use between 2.5 and 12.5 liters of soap per 100 gallons of water, or 25 to 125 milliliters per gallon, then test the spray on a plant to check it sticks and spreads. Vinegar-based cleanser cuts the soap's grip, so add more soap when mixing it in. For general watering and spraying, Drake recommends the all-purpose maintenance solution once a week as a spray or twice a week when watering.
Other topics: sulfur isn't used for farming but works to cure athlete's foot; the new March 2022 edition of the KNF Recipe Book is out in digital and hard copy, black and white or color; a fruity, slightly sour smell in IMO1 is normal, and keeping the jar full helps it keep; freshwater fish work fine for fish amino acid, same as saltwater; and OHN with ginger should use one-third sugar to material, not a 1-to-1 ratio, fermented three days before adding alcohol.
Drake also points to his 10-episode poultry playlist on YouTube, raw footage from Korea with Master Cho, for anyone building brooder boxes or laying boxes. He reminds sellers that KNF ingredients are already OMRI-approved as natural materials, so sell products as a garden amendment, not a fertilizer, and avoid making specific claims.
Questions answered
- 22:24 Should you aerate disgustingly cheap food (weed tea)? — Don't aerate the barrel itself, but dilute drawn-off juice about 1 to 100 and aerate that.
- 24:01 My KNF food is over a year old, should I use less? — Dilute it more, around 1 to 500, and use it for the fruiting stage rather than the juvenile stage.
- 25:37 How much wetting agent (soap) do I use in foliar sprays? — Use 2.5 to 12.5 liters of soap per 100 gallons of water and test on a plant, adding more if vinegar cleanser is mixed in.
- 28:49 I made seed soak solution, should I keep using it every watering? — Spray the all-purpose maintenance solution about once a week, or water it in twice a week as the plant cycles through leaf, fruit, and bloom stages.
- 32:36 Do you use sulfur on your farm? — No, not for farming, but sulfur works well to cure athlete's foot in people.
- 34:59 Should I dilute disgustingly cheap food before soaking it into biochar? — Yes, always dilute it first, straight DCF is too nasty for direct soaking.
- 40:24 My IMO1 has a fruity, slightly sour smell, is that okay? — That sounds fine; watch for bubbles instead, and keep the storage jar mostly full to help it keep.
- 43:42 Can I use freshwater fish instead of saltwater for fish aminos? — Yes, freshwater fish works fine, any animal will give you fish aminos and useful omega oils.
- 45:23 I used one part sugar to one part ginger for OHN, is that right? — That's too much sugar; use one-third sugar to material, ferment three days, then add alcohol separately.
- 49:23 Is the KNF system for chickens written up in detail? — Not in writing, but a 10-episode raw-footage playlist from Korea on his YouTube channel covers it.
- 56:52 Where does the maintenance solution come from? — It's the common denominator of cleanser, food, medicine, and structure found in every solution except harvest, used to shortcut mixing.
- 59:08 Is there info on the chicken box and feeders? — Yes, it's posted on the naturalfarminghawaii website.
- 1:03:10 I'm in Canada, how do I make and sell these products safely? — Don't make claims or sell it as a fertilizer, sell it as a garden amendment and let pictures and results speak for it.

7:30 hey aloha and welcome to office hours for march 27th 2022 korean natural farming live with myself dr drake to answer any of your questions on korean natural farming so he gets you some updates there um and if you want to reach out to me drop a question You can reach me at drake at pureknf.org. That's D-R-A-K-E at P-U-R-E-K-N-F dot O-R-G. So I want to welcome you guys.
8:15 Happy Sunday. Thanks for tuning in. Before we dive into it and get started, let's start with a little bit of the Yi Ching, which is a good set of guidance, 64 pages of guidance. And today's message for us is keeping still. Mountain. Still your emotions through meditation. Receiving this hexagram is a sign that you need to quiet your emotions so that you can think clearly. to answer the clamorings of the ego with action now is to invite misfortune
9:02 teaching counsels us non-action in the stilling of emotions through meditation it is in the nature of having a body to have strong feelings and impulses however if we allow our thinking to be controlled by them we cannot act with gentleness neutrality and the graceful wisdom of the sage. Instead, we move rashly when we ought to keep still, or we solidify when we ought to remain fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to quiet the body and its inferior elements so that our thoughts and actions may be clear and balanced. three things are advised first sit quietly in a self-supported position
9:55 with your back straight and your eyes closed second observe the flow of your bodily emotions do not judge or resist them the simple practice of watching them come linger and go without acting on them allows you to gradually separate them from your thought process. Third, turn your inner conflicts over to the deity for resolution. The help of the higher power is only made available to those who ask for it in disciplined ways. Those who make an offering of their stillness and mindfulness.
10:42 through meditation we can reduce the influence of inferior elements and make it possible for the sage to assist us keep still as a mountain now and you will be rewarded with good fortune hey what's up so oh well welcome it's a message i've been getting a lot lately just the keep still find that meditation yeah just to relax but i'm glad you guys are here today um you may have noticed um i think
11:27 hopefully it's coming in a bit more clear on your end um i got some faster internet hooked up um kind of drug a fiber optic cable over here the other week and was able to set all that up so that's what happened last week why i wasn't why it stuttered a little bit in the beginning because i was switching between like a hot spot and this fiber optic that i just put in so hopefully it's coming i think there's like next to zero latency on this now so we can actually live chat there's not even like a delay i think it's maybe a three second delay for the
12:05 chat so just so you know um and speaking of stillness sitting here a lot this week i want to show you um i know some of you may have seen this last week but speaking of sitting still look at that um over here chigs moving around but bb is just passed out look at that she is still as a mountain learning i don't know learning from natural farming pigs i've been i've been raising these pigs for over a decade now at least um i raised this pig's mom whose name was bacon and now have her
12:59 bb and um the little thing down in the left this this thing here this is a machine that i built that i can load papayas in but you can see the top they can only fit three or four small papayas in her right now this machine slides open and feeds bb uh in her knf no smell pig pen and so and i don't know if you guys could hear that i can the sound of the rooster coming through maybe you can um but i wanted to show you i don't know i've been working on this project stand still as a mountain here um unfortunately there's no um papayas in it right now i was
13:50 i was meaning to um go up there before the office hour and to load it up so that you guys could feed them but right now the feeder is is empty so there's no way to yeah you gotta wait for me to go up there and feed the pigs but slowly been making this website better so you've been following this and checking out my pigs seeing them looks like someone else is checking them out right now with me um but the other thing i did was i was able to add this um a second camera right below here so if you're looking at this um here's the pig you know here's the machine and right here
14:28 in like real space there's a camera pointing right there and that's where these papayas drop down so as these papayas drop down here there's a camera facing right there and i named it the chomp cam and then i set it up so it automatically goes to uh twitter which i don't know if twitter's the right service to do this but um but basically um now and i think i fixed it i've been working on this a bit it's it's quite a challenge to get all this automated but the idea is that on here like let me let me just play this one here on twitter and i don't know if this one
15:10 actually shows it or it was just a test oh yeah so so the papaya drops and then it's facing her to see her eat it and so every time the way i have it set up right now is every time a papaya drops uh and this this recorded a little weird it should be the the recording was fast i figured out how to make it in real time um but every time a papaya drops it now automatically tweets out um uh you know like an uh you can you can watch the other camera as it tweets out and the the the tweet twitter name is uh chomp cam so if you if you want to go out there and follow this and
15:59 get i guess get tweets get tweets delivered to you every every time um bb bb eats a papaya you can you can watch her here on the chomp cam and right now like this this last one here um was was not that good you know it was just a test she was she was sleeping and i i rigged the machine to say there's papayas in there when there wasn't because i was down here at the office trying to test it up at the barn so but in the future this should be like pretty high resolution um good good videos of the pigs chomping and and they'll be tweeting to um this this link here
16:45 at chomp cam so if you want to subscribe to that i want to see maybe maybe i'll get a bunch of subscribers there i was going to see how many how many subscribers can a machine can a machine get that is um just serving automated pictures of my pigs yeah chomp cam compilation well now you can subscribe on twitter and get them like sent to you um you know like twitter already has notifications built in you can retweet it you know tweet it at elon musk or somebody who needs to know about no smell pigs you know maybe the chomp cam twitter handle will blow up and be the biggest
17:29 twitter on twitter on twitter a tweeter on twitter twitter on twitter um so we'll see where this goes uh so yeah you can see the papayas drop you can see her come up there's only 14 views on this and they're probably mostly me because i watch this a whole bunch because i find it super entertaining but i don't know if other people will but um anyway i've been working on this this uh just to spread korean natural farming you know and i gotta maybe link that in there and entice people to learn about it and that deep deep litter um ends but once it gets viral and goes big people
18:06 people will probably be more open to learning about it and it's kind of my whole whole idea to give people that opportunity and then also to just find peace relaxing tuning into the pigs putting putting this up as a live thing so you know you can get notifications tweets um and then also um if you're if you're into youtube i don't know if it'll mess up my youtube to go to it um But there is another... I don't want to switch my account right now. But there's a way here, I think, that I think there's a MyPigs channel.
18:57 I don't even know where it is or if I could find it because yeah. Oh yeah. Hey Justin. I fixed the internet. I got it faster and got it because this thing can improve and send better images now that I'm connected to by light versus wireless. It's like connecting on my cilia network across the world. But you know what? I subscribe to it. That's how I can find it. I think it's called MyPigs.
19:42 Let's see here. Maybe I got to refresh this window here. Let's see. I just subscribed. or maybe it's called feed my pigs is it no what is what is the youtube channel or sorry sorry to do this live for you oh it is my pigs okay so here um let me see well there's no there's no videos on it though let me transition back to it though somehow it's it's my pigs though and here's the here's the chat so you can subscribe to my pigs via youtube too if you choose that way and that will also be the
20:33 chomp cams going there and i just put that um the link in the comment comments there um and that channel needs like a thousand subscribers you know where is it where's everyone at well i'm I'm here in Hawaii and, um, you know, it's a, it's a good thing. Um, everyone around the world, um, you guys got any questions? Let me know. I can answer some things. Otherwise just talking about my pigs here. Um, the Twitter that I set up for them. If you're just coming in, check out, uh, at chomp cam. And then, um, my pigs, they also have a YouTube,
21:18 which I should probably link these here like the social links up in the menu here get all that together but you know when the feeders full you'll be able to drop papayas there my goal is to fill it up with maybe like 10 or 15 papayas in there and get it so that each person can do that and um yeah so anyway that's that's what i've been doing to spread knf uh besides this week planted a bunch of taro good food you know uh i think the famine is coming it's inbound for us um even uh there's
22:12 you've seen Ice Age Farmers latest you know should you be aerating your tea do you mean like weed tea like like your JLF kind of stuff I call it disgustingly cheap food like if you are talking about this recipe here should you aerate this disgustingly cheap food you take stinky but affordable way you pack a barrel with a wide variety of weeds and plants like this pack it in
22:59 fill with water add a handful of soil microbes let it sit for two weeks or later and drop the weeds is this what you're talking about yeah okay so should you aerate this um i wouldn't aerate this directly this here this barrel i wouldn't aerate that but if you pour off some juice and then you dilute this like around 1 to 100 then i would aerate this here um but aerating this i wouldn't this is kind of gross this is going to be full of sludge and like super gross there's no need to aerate this just let it get gross and nasty and then when you
23:43 draw off some juice be careful that stuff is going to be super nasty especially the longer you wait and then you can refill with water and refill with more weeds as you keep going but as you draw off water from this thing um drop this juice when needed that nasty stuff that smells like then dilute 1 to 100 then you can aerate it for sure yeah so yeah so wait so you're saying now that you're you have a can of food that is more than a year old should I use less now 1 to 100 1 to 100 is using more
24:31 um i i think um if i if i understand that properly it's it's saying that um if you're as you're as can of food which which is this recipe up here let's see where is it this one here gathering one species of plant you know making a food out um and then you know collecting the liquid that comes out from from this uh as it gets older you don't you don't it's better just for more of the fruiting cycle of the plant like versus the juvenile stage of the plant so so if that if that makes sense to you
25:18 so using less you don't you don't use like one to a hundred but would be using more and then instead of using it like if i made this food from growth tips like i packed this into here you know mix it with sugar pack it in uh do this my you know yeah it should be one to five hundred and use it during the fruiting stage okay and then stone stone mason is asking about the soap here and um um so this so if you want this book i just and by the way before before i dive into this soap i may as well pitch it here i just put out a new edition the march 8th edition 2022 so everyone
26:06 that bought a continued subscription of this book uh be looking for that coming to you soon your new updated version and um i also maybe has a limited run of prints to sell out so um to ship to you so um so anyway new new edition just came out march 8th on the book um you can get it at knfsupport.com um so this that's what i'm reading from is this book that i have here so um so you're talking about soap and it's how much wetting agent do i use in my foliar spays are there times you don't use it in your sprays yeah so times i don't use it on my
26:51 sprays is most of the time and if i do use it my sprays here's how to use it so for every um one like one gallon here of water i use for a light thing i put in 25 milliliters if i'm making 100 gallons and i want light soap it's two and a half liters and that gives me this light dilution now you got to test it and test how much it sticks to things you know like if is it a sticker spreader as you're diluting it in and and so your range is going to be between two and a half liters to 12 and a half liters for 100
27:42 gallons that's between this light and this heavy range here so how much soap are you going to actually need is you got to actually test that by spraying it on a test plant of what you're doing a test application with your dilutions plus the amount of soap you need to make it have the desired effect you want. So you can't just say, oh, we'll just add two and a half liters. And if you spray it, it's still hydrophobic and not spreading. Especially when you're using natural farming things, the cleanser, as you're adding the cleanser in, you need more soap because the
28:20 cleanser has vinegar in it, which cuts the soap's ability to stick and spread. And so you have to add more soap to it to make it stick and spread. So the key is it's going to be between these two numbers here but you have to test your effect to see is it doing what i want and that's that's up to you so that's how to use the soap you know it's it's when you use it you got to put it between these two numbers to see your gallons of water here it's between those two numbers to make it or to to use it right so that's the answer um and there's times i don't use it at all yeah
28:57 a bunch i don't use it at all um so now what's up patrick hey thanks hey thanks for the donation too i really appreciate it um and um it's from hungary and he made his first batch of seed soak solution yesterday and planted some tomatoes pepper and owl bird gene when they sprout and start to grow should I use the solution every time and um so the key here is to follow this which I was just thinking about making this a little better um but this recipe here um should rotate this page um basically you just you just seed soak them and then as soon as they start to
29:48 sprout you're going to head into a chubby then a skinny then a chubby then a skinny then a puberty puberty chubby skinny chubby skinny and so those as it goes through these life cycles you want to follow going through a leaf a fruit a leaf a fruit a bloom bloom leaf fruit leaf fruit and those correspond to these recipes here you know leaf fruit bloom harvest so all this is in the book here but but as you start the you know you did a seed soak with the seed solution then you start to you want to grow leaves right when it first when your sprout first sprouts you want to grow
30:27 leaves give it energy then it's going to go through a skinny phase which is actually the fruit which is why calling it fruit and leaf are kind of confusing because why would it be fruiting but it's more it's going into a skinny phase which is more of the fruiting moving things around and this is probably the most confusing part of this because i used chubby and skinny and fruit and leaf and those you know if you can see the combination of that in your plant when you want it to get chubby and put out leaves and then you want it to get skinny and reach you'll notice
30:57 it goes through plants go through phases of going through chubby where they put out a bunch of leaves and then they go skinny and they reach out they go chubby put out leaves and then they go skinny and reach out and as you see that you can do this with natural farming you switch between these formulas which are outlined here you know here's how to make them from all the different solutions and if you don't know what to do just always use maintenance which has food the maintenance formula which is like a general i don't know what to do it just has food cleanser
31:32 medicine and structure in it so in in this you could do once a week for sure spraying it on or if you're watering you could do it maybe twice a week when you water um keeping things nice and moist and well fed um and here's all the solutions and dilutions you know you want to get the book get it and um so eyewitnesses saying my neighbor basically does um disgustingly cheap fertilizer but without using soil he sticks Mexican sunflower water in a barrel and lets it sit so eyewitnesses talking about again this recipe some people
32:18 call it JLF but disgustingly cheap food is what it is you're just putting these things in here um hey what's up what's up Heather's husband um when you say i poured some into biochar what are you talking about you poured some of this into biochar this would be a really good thing to pour into biochar um oh um if you're talking about um do i use the sulfur on my farm you never saw the sulfur I use the sulfur for other
33:04 other things like it's a really good thing to cure athlete's foot, to cure people's athlete's foot with that sulfur I have done yeah the sulfur is not something that I recommend you make use or you know for farming it's really nasty if you're using to have to use that will I have hard copy editions yes I will have both black and white and color hard copy editions and I'm going to set it up so I'm going to ship one day a week and at first I think I have 20 copies for sale of black and white
33:51 here so I'll have those up this week I just got the new edition together and I'm stoked for that and stoked to um get it out to all the folks uh someone emailed me the other day and they're like hey where's where's the update to your book i was like man i gotta i gotta work on that thing too because as i teach classes folks are folks are always like confused by the book and it's like where do you go to get a good natural farming resource book and i'm really trying to provide that for folks and and make um So you can get one place where you can get the recipe and do all that.
34:34 And, you know, in addition to the other things I got going, pulling that together. So, eyewitness is asking, would I still dilute the cheap food? it's disgustingly cheap food by the way you gotta say it full name man d c f d c f um the disgustingly cheap food if i'm soaking in charcoal um yeah definitely dilute it um soaking it directly in there's going to be nasty um you know you you just you don't want to like
35:20 over saturate it with gross you just want to dilute it and soak it up in there but um so yeah um yeah so definitely dilute that um so here i want to i want to show you this before i do i do i know anyone doing knf in the high desert um justin chappelle was in here and he's in bend which or you know just outside of bend actually it's not it's he's not in bend so i just say that because that's where um where i stayed i stayed in bend when i went to visit him so he's he's real nearby um but that's sort of like high desert so justin maybe you want to reach
36:03 out to um geo geology graphy gel and geologo graphy mr confusing name uh but anyway so this screen here that i'm sharing with you is um is the chomp cam so right above here is the other is the machine where it drops it and then this cam you can see these birds out here and stuff so it's pretty you know it's pretty high def here coming in um repulsively cheap oh lord yeah yeah yeah let's shout out to jadam and and all those things what's up from jamaica them on yeah um so yeah you can see that but this is the chomp cam so this will be what this this
36:58 angle of cam will be what is recorded and tweeted out and i may cut this bar here right in front so you can see and it's full glory and um because anyway but oh yeah 100 dilution sounds good yeah I may cut that bar there so you can see her chomp the papaya in it's full glory but we'll see keeping her safe and inside and healthy and all that is important too but anyway that is what you'll see if you do chomp beautiful pig BB and chomp You can subscribe to Twitter at ChompFam if you're just coming in.
37:46 Went through that, showed those. What else is going on? You guys got any other questions here? So Stone Mason is asking, or super excited on your book, me and shouting out on all the guard channels thanks for your time bro oh yeah hey if you want to share with folks and let them know you know where they can get this stuff and you know i'm trying to make the book better that's why that's why i've been offering digital copies basically because i feel like each time um each time i make the book better i i want to you know have digital
38:33 copies come into people and so um definitely work working on that you know you know if you do read my book you can you can see where it where it does have some shortcomings it was it was originally just a collection of um of handouts that i would give to people so um i would go teach and i'd be like hey here's you know today we're making you know can of food and i'd give them this handout and be like here's the recipe this you know basically you're taking plant material renting plant juice it's real simple and people would leave be like this is the food you know and then
39:09 be there and i'd give all the samples let them try all these different things so they experience the food and tie it into their body and then have some samples for them to take home and that's the kind of you know way to get that's how my book developed was just out in the field like you want to learn about this all right here's a here's a recipe you can take home hang on your wall you know and now i'm putting it into a book and i really want to get it just like cinched down so that you pick up the book and what you know one of my constraints has
39:45 been that i'm trying to keep it one page long i think maybe if i have two pages for each one that says like the recipe and then the uses and those things where it's just two pages it's hard to fit it all on one page as like a mega poster kind of thing so um but anyway it's worth you know worth a shot to try and that's that that is the result of what my my book is um so jc's hello does a fruity maybe slightly sour smell and i am a one okay um typically the im01 which i call a seed imo should smell more like a miso type of thing
40:36 um one thing you don't want is it to have bubbles forming a whole bunch so and also in your storage of it if you can store it so like in a jar if you're storing it like more than this much in there so like this much and more if you only have a tiny bit at the bottom it'll go bad so the smells will change as there's less in there but as you keep a full culture or more of a culture in your your container um it should help it preserve better as well but um you gotta look for bubbles a sour smell is hard for me to diagnose um
41:26 a fruity slightly sour smell sounds okay to me um but smell is so hard to communicate with words and all that um that's why i come in here smelling mine knowing what's good what's bad um that's what i you know do here at the farm and um yeah so you're saying the collection was mainly white with some yellow and that's fine you know I always go with an 80-20 rule should pull up some photos of our recent pictures because we really got some good ones recently I don't know if my phone is not connected to this but yeah maybe I'll upload
42:12 some of those nice ones and then uh rainbow possum farm saying they they poured in stinky unerated nettle disgustingly cheap tea into biochar sounds fine to me biochar carbon will soak it up a lot it wasn't slimy okay you're still talking about the imo yeah anyway i think maybe send me a send me a picture I don't know. It's so hard to know it from a smell. The only thing I can tell you is if you're in doubt, make a new collection. Get one you're really confident in.
42:58 Store it properly. Use it properly. Bamboo patches are usually good. Usually it's really nice, thick mycelia. I should show you one from a bamboo patch. I wish I had it handy on my computer. I do have one here on the phone but we've been collecting out of a bamboo patch recently I mean this was the top of it yeah so that is our recent collection out of a bamboo patch.
43:47 That one there. Let's see here. Yeah, this is actually eyewitness with the collection there. and timothy is asking about having a hard time getting saltwater fish can you use freshwater fish and the answer is absolutely you can um freshwater fish is a is a great thing to use any any animal will actually give you
44:34 fish aminos just there's certain oils and omegas like omega-6s that you want I think that are in the fish. So the whole reason to have omegas is a good thing. Sorry, I'm just looking through to find some more IMOs that we made recently. I know that we have, so I usually take a photo of it. Yeah. So anyway, let me get back to this. Yeah.
45:23 Okay. Francis is saying, I'm trying OHN with ginger. I put one part sugar to one part ginger for initial fermentation. I think my ginger was on the dryer. And the solution seemed super saturated. Yeah, one-to-one is way too much. Let me pull up. You're getting bad info there. Not sure who you're following. But let me pull up my book here. Sorry, let me pull up the book and go to what I call KNF Medicine. And let me pull that up here and transition over.
46:09 So this is KNF Medicine here. And in the recipe, if you've added one part of your material here and one part sugar, you've added far too much sugar to this and so what is better is to add one third sugar here's your material dry or wet material dry material plus beer or wet material and then notice only one third of it is coming from sugar into there
46:56 So you can probably salvage what you have. Keep going, but next time you do it, follow this recipe here. Even for fermenting plant juice, you know, making can of food, your weight should be between one-third and half the weight of the plant material. If you are adding more than that, you're adding too much. So for the food recipe here, doing one-third and half the weight of plant material, and oh Thomas says hi and you're saying it was
47:42 fresh organic not dried but after it sat for a bit so one third fresh or dry material yeah so these are basically essentially the same recipe this fermented plant juice and step one of making medicine here which is this one here you're adding material plus one third sugar and then later you're adding the alcohol don't add the alcohol in the beginning do these steps and you know rehydrate ferment for three days then add alcohol three separate processes
48:32 yeah just add more ginger to the batch put it in a bigger jar bigger container and yep ferment it then add the alcohol once you're going but that's that's the recommendation i don't i don't know there's there's maybe there's some bad information out there but this is the way to do it really well um i think sometimes making this um recipe makes people think it's complex but it's really not this step one of this where you're rehydrating or fermenting is the exact same as making a knf food step one and two of this are exact same for knf food and um
49:23 someone should be making FAA from those commercially, from those invasive carps you know you could KNF so much of the world and save it with so many of these industries because it takes basically things that would have been waste products and makes them into you know the essentials of life so um is there somewhere that the knf system for chickens is laid out in detail in writing yes um is it available no
50:09 um yeah yeah so figuring out how to make these things into available products you know take this recipe here you know the brown sugar the fish make this amazing stuff that's what you want to do so wait heather's husband is saying not to be that guy but what's up in the club there are some
50:59 things like why others talk the truth and regression they just keep it stuck at level one you know what i'm saying think back five years i don't know man um yeah uh good to eat too yeah the fish aminos is so good to eat um yeah fish sauce put it into all those things and to i've been drinking it in my water with lacto recently oh it's been a good boost feel my health getting better let's see transition back over here i'm not writing but drake has a oh oh
51:45 um Yeah. Yeah, the poultry, you don't know on my YouTube. Let's see here. so if you are looking for um advice on poultry um it you know there really are i i give you the source of where my information comes from. And the poultry is here. This poultry series right here, if you click this one right
52:43 here on this channel, you know, searching poultry, but this channel here, you pull this up, there are 10 different episodes in this playlist and skipping through them to see what we're doing I wish they were better labeled but basically this is just raw footage of what I experienced in Korea so if you're looking for certain answers like um you know the chickens laid out in detail like if you're looking for the chicks of how we you know how we set it up for the chickens the chicks to come in you know
53:29 here um uh this is us building all the equipment so building a hand laying box um and then here this is us um you know setting the feeders in and then setting up uh um the brooder box you know and if you watch these videos here you know they're they're going through and setting up a we're setting up a brooder box live so you can just see the details of what um what's happening and what what we're doing you This here is just live of what I was experiencing there.
54:21 Listening to when Dr. Park talks. Thanks, Justin. Thanks, man. Appreciate your support. Hope I get to see you soon. We'll see you headed up to the Pacific Northwest. We'll see. um um yeah so anyway you know these whole these whole things it's you know we go through it all you know and this is just me being there you know it's being this guy's speaking chinese english japanese you know it was it was a very intense seminar to be at and to be part of you know and sitting after and hearing the theory and all this you know this is deep getting deep
55:04 into master cho and all these things so you know if you just want the recipes you know taking taking my um you know just just reading my my book here and you know going going through the recipes just straight to them but if you want the original source from from my youtube channel um all all these are you know these original courses that i went to with master cho seeing these things um you know that this is where getting getting that info from is is where it's at um yeah giving out samples to folks um once once they have those things um and people will buy
55:50 it for good money too it's it's it's worth a lot you make good high quality ferments you know fish aminos people can buy it something you can ship over the internet and stuff and um sell and you know all that so it's it's good um yeah um yeah if you're near fish man get it sell it get it out there to folks um you know i think one of the most effective things to do is to teach a little seminar on how to use the solutions show people you know demos before after time lapse your gardens do those things and then share with
56:40 folks um you know um how how to how to how to do things and then and then have it available for them um and you're saying if maintenance solution come from another farm in korea the maintenance solution comes from um this chart here which is in korean um and if you look at this chart this is all master chose solutions as he gave them and there's a couple other things on this chart that that are um that aren't on the other one but the maintenance solution comes from that chart where what it shows
57:31 is that the maintenance solution is the common denominator every solution has cleanser food medicine and structure in it besides the harvest formula every other solution has it in there and so if you take that common denominator out and you use it just as itself or you pre-mix it by itself it just makes mixing the rest of the all these on this chart easier so if i have four of these already pre-mixed i can just eliminate the top four on each of these on this chart and then add the pre-mix and then these other solutions to it and get to my other solutions a lot easier
58:12 so when i'm trying to get to these these different solutions here on this sheet the maintenance solution is just the common denominator of all of these besides the harvest formula and so it makes short cutting to what you want to do easier and it's just a common denominator solution combo that makes natural farming easier master cho would call the maintenance solution something that's like ses or some i don't know he has some acronym that i don't even know if it's worth mentioning because it's like but he does have a name for it he just calls it
58:52 something else that i don't think is worth confusing people with um so it's not it's not something that you know is made up it's it's the common denominator it's uh in natural farming by default so um you know the more you study natural farming the more you find these shortcuts make it easier to practice in a way that makes you a really good natural farmer. So, let's see here. Some info on the chicken box and feeders would be great. Yeah, that does exist. It's on the website here, if you go naturalfarminghawaii
59:38 slash well it doesn't have it getting all these things out there is important for people and having the information on chickens yeah and so the way what Heather's husband's saying is be careful selling it because of having legal paperwork and the key is that all these are actually OMRI approved things already so you can go
1:00:25 and check this out like this OMRI which is the organic approved materials list and you can check out OMRI lists and download them and see what is in the United States already it's sorted by product name and I don't think this is what you want because these are product names but somewhere there's a list of materials here sort of my category
1:01:13 yeah but I'm not sure but all fish and everything is already listed in this I believe I mean this is a huge document it's what hundreds of pages here um and so these are the omri things that are listed and all the things that we're talking about are already omri approved as natural materials so i don't think you have to worry about any of those things as long as you you know you don't try to call it something novel you just say hey this is you know fish fish extract or this is um you know if you start
1:01:55 calling things like lactic acid bacteria you'll run into problems but if you just say it's whey or milk which are already approved you're you're right in the box um so if you if you want to join the movement um well um you know subscribing to the channel helps out for sure like subscribe share you know um you know all those things share share the information with folks um that's that's the way to get involved start on natural farming meeting where you're at um make the solutions do it be an example um set all that up those those are the things you know um yeah so it was
1:02:40 sesc i just don't even think that way it's it's those acronyms are don't they don't mean anything to anybody so it's like i think just thinking you know maintenance solutions like yeah that's what i need right maintains everything that's you know um sos so um and i do apply maintenance solution by itself um you know it's its own thing here uh let's see if i go back to it here and go to the actual maintenance solution page that i have in the book um it's so important that i talk about it by itself here. So it's food cleanser, medicine structure, maintenance.
1:03:26 It is used by itself, 25 milliliters per gallon, or one liter per 40 gallons for this table here, so I do use it by itself. This has all these in there already perfectly diluted for you. and um so yeah and if you're in canada to make and sell these things yeah just selling it um you know don't make any claims and don't sell it as a fertilizer just sell it as a garden you know amendment and don't make claims on it it'll it'll get you in trouble people already know what it is they know how it works they can you can show them pictures of what
1:04:16 you've done anecdotal evidence is fine share it be it be the example of those things um if you if you look at it um you're asking uh yeah it's always a structure has always been part of maintenance here that it's always if you look at all the recipes you'll always find that structure is in them structure is always in so yeah it's always it's part of the maintenance it's always in there so yeah yeah it's starting a channel sharing korean natural farming and um if you want um i think
1:05:02 there's ways you know i'll cross promote your channel and get get that stuff going so that we can share uh viewers and and i think the more people that are tuned into green natural farming and we have like an index of folks doing things you know um send send me the links i'll check it out you know do some react videos you know like imagine right here instead of pulling up my channel and looking at this imagine i'm looking at your channel and watching you know some of your videos and seeing seeing what you got going out there you know
1:05:37 and some of these things you know they need they need more views if you want to you know check out this channel um if you're on the youtube it's just listed below and um put these things out share with people you know um there's a bunch of information out there you know these popular uploads only 129 000 you know they We should make some million view videos this year.
