LAB for Laundry, Mulching to Stop Evaporation, Coconut Sprouting

0:30 Hey, aloha and good morning. Welcome to Office Hours for September 11th, 2022. 11-2-2. I want to thank you for being here, joining in, answering Korean natural farming questions and general discussion on just enlightening things in the natural farming world. And what's up, Tyler? Good to see you guys. And yeah, it's good to see you guys all from all over the world. And I want to start off this morning with just a little bit of higher knowledge.

1:19 So today is the family or the clan and a healthy family, a healthy country. a healthy world, all grow outward from a single superior person. The hexagram Xizhen concerns the proper foundation of human communities. The I Ching teaches us that all clans must have a superior person at their center if they are to prosper and succeed. Therefore, in order to improve our family, company, nation, or world community, we must begin by improving ourselves.

2:11 If you will observe healthy families, you will always see present in them three qualities. Love, faithfulness, and correctness. When we truly love others, we are naturally kind, gentle, and patient with them. When we are faithful to others, we place proper principles and conduct above temporary influences like anger, desire, or greed. And when we practice correctness, we spiritually nourish ourselves and all of those around us.

2:57 When all three of these qualities are cultivated, a healthy clan naturally springs into being. The difference between paying lip service to these ideals and practicing them is profound. If you advocate high ideals and actions to others, but do not embody them yourself, your influence will disintegrate for a lack of proper foundation. Therefore, in order to inspire superior qualities in others, you must first instill them in yourself. Concentrate not upon influencing others or external events, but on strengthening your inner devotion to proper principles.

3:49 when modesty acceptance equanimity and gentleness become deeply ingrained in your character they will flow steadily outward from you and soon you will find yourself enmeshed in a web of healthy relationships and in this there is good great fortune so yeah thank you for creating this healthy family this time where we gather and concentrate on the positive good things happening in the world you know i mean here we are september 11th the anniversary of bush knocking down the towers and then the subsequent invasion of

4:40 two nations under false pretenses. Osama bin Laden wasn't even from Afghanistan. He was from Saudi Arabia. Yet we go into Afghanistan and take it over for 20 years and then subsequently murder thousands and hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq, bringing freedom to them, where now, you know, I haven't been there, but I don't think their country is much more stable than it was because of their cruel leader. But, you know, focusing on those external events, focusing on those things, you know, I have, I have, yeah, millions of people, I have friends,

5:23 you know, my, I was just in high school during 2001, and then was leader of JROTC. I was, I worked my way up to being all the way up to the brigade commander of the entire East Hawaii brigade. I was a colonel, you know, was in my ROTC special forces and, you know, was doing a raider challenge, running half marathons, rappelling out of, you know, off huge towers and being hoorah, you know, dress right dress, you know, all that. And, you know, at the time, it was a real healthy community for me, because as a young kid, it was like getting my physical

6:07 energy out running, doing those things. But then as I started to get into the larger bit of it, into the military, and I did ROTC my first year in college, and I realized it was a different community of folks that was kind of all like kind of focused on military stuff versus focusing outwards and focusing on what, you know, the life. So, you know, here today I'm wearing my mental restorations shirt. And this is a tribute to the veterans because mental restorations is a non-profit in Hilo, Hawaii, where I live, that is dedicated to working with veterans and first

6:49 responders to bring their, to work on their mental health and mental restorations. And so I just want to shout out to everyone who's, you know, whatever level of truth you are in your life, in your world, that you can find mental clarity, mental peace, you know, trauma, healing, going to war. I've never, I've never been to actual combat. You know, I don't have that nice combat badge on my, you know, um, class B uniform. I, uh, I, but I did learn a lot from the military and I think there is some value in it of having a strong home defense and defending your home, but to go out and

7:31 be an aggressor in other lands and, you know, trying to protect others. It's, it's a really fine line of, of, um, of doing that. And, uh, so working with mental restorations and then also So furthermore, working here to bring this KNF group around, I think there's no better way to celebrate September 11th than recognizing the truth of our aggression around the world and trying to now take that and the words of Master Cho and spread natural farming around the world and bring anyone who needs it health. Imagine we went into Afghanistan and Iraq with natural farming and we were able to go

8:12 in there and turn their whole desert into, you know, food forests and just more abundant food. I think how much more prosperous their people would have been and how much more peace and love that would have brought to the world. So I just want to, you know, I'm talking a little bit about that. I don't want to, I don't want to get too much into it, but I do, you know, I was talking with my dad the other day about how many, how many people do you think know that 9-11, you know, believe the official narrative or are, you know, aware enough that the buildings were brought down

8:46 with controlled demolition and explosives and that the gold that was stored in the bottom of the World Trade Center was found in the only gold that was found. There was there were tons and tons of gold was found in a loaded in a truck in a tunnel leaving the World Trade Center. And then that an airplane certainly did not hit the Pentagon and an airplane certainly did not crash in Shanksville. There's no evidence of an airplane there at all. And how many people do you think believe the official narrative, which is, you know, that a passport flew out of a, um,

9:20 out of a building and landed on a sidewalk that an FBI agent found yet while the entire plane was, was, um, obliterated, every other scrap scrap of it was obliterated. Um, I don't, I don't know how many, you know, but to me, that was a pivotal point in my life. It was a pivotal wake up point when I realized that our own government staged this, that the day before they said $2.3 trillion were missing. And then a explosion happens right on the Pentagon budget office the next day. And they never accounted for that $2.3 trillion. And we went from having an

9:59 airport where you could just kind of go through a metal detector and get on a plane to having a whole Department of Homeland Security apparatus that's now taking people that talk about this kind of stuff and labeling them as radicals or extremists, where it seems like that, you know, that's kind of an interesting idea. So not to get too into it there, but I do, since you're tuned into natural farming and since you're tuned into the microbes, I want to also, you know, search 9-11 truth and look into those things and find out because understanding the truth and understanding

10:33 that we can build better communities and better governments of the people by the people for the people instead of this authoritarian takeover that happened right then and the wireless surveillance that turned that apparatus on the people and the FISA courts and how basically everything you say goes into a dragnet. And as you know, right now, this is being stored on a Utah data center, besides YouTube, and everything we say on the internet is being controlled, watched, and then analyzed with artificial intelligence. And they're labeling us and,

11:11 and it's, you know, these government apparatus is not a government for the people by the people. It's deep state totalitarian against the people and monitoring us as we are the enemy. And that should never happen. So I encourage you, you know, the one way to get out of this, the one way to get to freedom is to plant a garden, grow food, start a farm where you know how to use Korean natural farming, reach sovereignty so that you do not have to go and get the food lines and be subject to the military industrial complex so that you can provide your children with great food.

11:50 Because here in Hawaii, if you go to a public school system, your food comes from the Department of Defense and they're feeding the kids the same stuff they feed to the military. And so think of that where it's like, you know, imagine you could grow food in a school garden like I used to do here and teach kids about agriculture and get them to eat fresh, good food instead of military rations. That's the kind of world that I think we can build and we can work together, but it's going to take all of us, but it takes one superior person,

12:24 right? Bring the message, build the thing, show the way, do what we're doing. So I want to just shout out to everybody here from around the world. I know these things affect all of us. What one country's military does can affect all of us. And these repercussions of these things can echo out. Just like today, what you do today is going to matter thousands of years in the future. You know, your children's children's children, or if you don't have kids, the other people's kids will know because of what you did today will make an impact better or worse on their life. So think of that.

13:04 Think of the healing. Think of how we're getting together. and I want to answer a question here for Crab Grows because he's asking, has anyone ever used natural farming techniques to maintain a forest farm? Absolutely. You know, I said this week I was going to show a little bit about what, you know, my farm and what I'm doing. But essentially, I'm running a forest farm. And if you also look up post up media, his his farm is a forest farm, because when you farm in the tropics, it's like forest farms are that way. Another great person is Washington Agroforestry.

13:51 She Melissa, I think is her name. She she has a great thing where it's like, you know, that's that's the ideal thing for KNF is to manage these forest farms. and I did once once my hard drive boots over here I was going to pull up the video because last week I was trying to show you this persimmon video and it didn't load and all these things so um so I wanted to load that up and get into that and show you guys this but um while my hard drives meet booting up just shout out Benjamin what's up Maryland man you're in the you're right where

14:24 you could go and plant up DC and go, you're like being in Maryland. It's like, man, you're only a, you know, you know, a stone's throw away from, you know, the Pentagon and the Department of Defense and Bethesda and, you know, all that area. And so, you know, hopefully putting good vibes out in that zone. Tyler out in California. What's up, man? I saw that you guys are doing some natural farming stuff. I don't know. I saw some post from you somewhere, something that you guys were up to good things. So say hi to Felicia for me. And speaking of good families and good

15:03 clans, the Fry family, they have a biodynamic vineyard and they're doing amazing things, working together as a family, multiple generations living on the same land, building natural farming, building their whole life around agriculture. It's like, man, that, that, that is a good family unit. You know, they have the, the, the values of the family, kindness, love, or correctness. And, um, what's that? I already, I already, I already kind of look it up. Um, and Cecily in, uh, Western Australia, hope, hope things are going good

15:41 for you down there. Um, and yeah, and thanks. Thanks. Yeah. Canna foundation. Um, they erase the origins of humanity, you know, but it's up to us. Like thank God that we have natural farming, right. And that we're able to do these a, and thanks. Thanks for the super chat there, Jennifer talk about the family nourishing, um, the clan, um, really that, that nourishment, man, you know, given from one person to another, it can really change someone's life and make great things happen here. So my hard drive did boot. I don't know if you heard it boot up, but it's up.

16:22 And let me go here and see if I can pull this up in a reasonable time fashion for you. It is right here and I'm connecting to it. And so I was going through and looking at these videos and I was, I was cleaning up a bunch of old, um, old stuff. And it's just amazing how much my life has been integrated into Korean natural farming of, you know, when I was cleaning up my old computer and there's so much stuff like from 2017, 2018, where all these lists of folks that came to natural farming conferences. And I really realized, you know, it's like, you know,

17:09 there's a natural farming movement, but like all the data's on my computer, my laptop. And it's like, whoa, it's kind of makes me look back in retrospect of how, um, how pivotal I've been to this thing of, of growing it. And so I want to continue to show up, build this family, do these things. And, um, I want to transition over here and just play this little video for you. Cause This is what I was talking about the other day. Come here, come here. And so when you're talking about... I don't know if you guys can hear that volume, if it's coming out for you.

17:56 Oh yeah, the wind is from there. But this is kind of like a forest farm. Look at this. I want to mute it down because they're not really saying it. But he has this great ground cover. This is what I was talking about last week. Like vetch and I'm not exactly sure all the species. But these basically naturally came in because he's putting so much IMO. And then he put a little calciums here. You know, there's a little spot on that one. So, you know, it's not 100% perfect. He does have a little bit of stuff. Yeah, use it to hold the branches up. And this is my dad and I back in 2009.

18:34 My dad, awesome guy. Talk about families, building great things. But look, they're right into this forest. They've got these trees behind them. They're right there. And my dad's pointing out the issues. You can look on almost every fruit, and you'll see minor imperfections. You know, like here, you know, you can see the little imperfections. So my dad's skeptical of natural farming. He must be making up for it. So what we're looking at is persimmons. And so off from the group, three generations. Again, this is a family farm.

19:18 You know, they bury their elders up on these hillsides and do these things. He's up on this land up above looking down. What a great way to put a mountainside in, to put a persimmon orchard in. They were harvesting right then. This guy is a farmer here. Master Cho talking to us. So, what he said.

20:13 that high salt content. And if you do that rice or corn and then you cut it cover, that will help to prevent those things evaporation and then that will prevent this high salty soil content. So that is one of the tricks that I will recommend. You use this corn and rice and then they will grow very well there with hot weather and that will prevent this evaporation problems. That will prevent ultimately the soil will be better qualified. Better for time. When he's talking about corn, is he talking about like corn on the cob?

21:01 Corn? Yeah. Regular corn. Regular corn. Okay. When you talk about the corn, what is the special corn? It's not a special corn. Anything grow faster, the better. Any corn. Any corn that you know grow faster. The idea is not corn fruit. It's just stock. Stock them fast. Yeah. So they cut it in. So we have... so just to answer post up you know talking about the imos spreading laterally yeah once all these roots connect and the microbes are coming in it uh it does it all so master true is always talking

21:40 about these ground covers like planting corn and then chopping it chop and drop method to like get it so the imos can grow into things and and instead of amending a bunch of fertilizer he's talking about just kind of like growing it. Oh, my mic is echoing. You know why? Because I got this other second audio capture going here. Let me just mute that one. Okay. So he has, um, he has these, um, like he's always talking about planting corn and then chop and drop it. Um, and he's talking about cutting the corn, uh, before it, before it tassels, before it, um, before it fruits, he's talking about

22:20 growing it and cutting it. But ultimately it's, it's, I found that it's a challenge to do, you know, like in Korea, Korea soils, you can probably do it in my place where it's so tropical. What's worked better for me is to, um, is to, uh, let's see, let's switch this back over. Um, is to use the wild grasses. So where he has a cover cup like this, and then I'm just cutting it with, so I have a sickle bar mower that cuts versus trying to just, you know, mow and cut it and shred it all into like tiny bits, like a wood chipper or grass, grass mulcher.

22:56 I use a sickle bar in a lot of places where I just cut the grass and drop it. So it's these long stalks being cut right at the bottom and drop down. And that, that can help do this same function that master Cho is always talking about. And using the wild grass is a way to, um, you know, where, where if you don't have, you don't want to sow corn and do these things. Corn is interesting for a number of reasons, because it actually, um, the stalks are really carbonaceous and when they fall, they, they actually create homes for the microbes on top. But so, so does the grass. So does a lot of other

23:31 things. So it's, um, you know, it's, it's about, um, you know, doing, doing what works for you, but we may as well finish, finish up watching that little bit of that clip here and see what, see what's going on. So, the idea is not the fruit, the idea is to cover the soil, 3 to 4 centimeters, which is about 1 and 1 half inch depth. And then, that will prevent any weeds grow. That's the idea of that prevent the squeeze and you cover that to prevent this evaporation and things like that. So he's basically talking about mulching with corn.

24:18 Rice is good because rice has a particular microorganism in it. So those two kinds he recommends. And then cut them both together. We will go to the next corner. the time because he has to work too and so we're gonna listen doite stealing the persimmons

25:11 so yeah so that one there let's see yeah so that was that nice you know forest farm that we saw You know, I realized when I went to, um, to Korea and, um, you know, to, um, you know, that was my first time going there. So I didn't film everything that I probably should have and could have. And I lost some of that film, um, just cause it was on, uh, you know, as those back in the day, man, that's before digital camcorders that was being recorded on tape actually on a Sony, um, uh, camcorder.

25:46 Um, so, um, so someone's asking here, um, yeah, you know, I mean, basically, basically, um, you know, chop and drop, he's mulching with it. The corn, the rice for, for various reasons have a lot of things, but essentially you want to get your own, um, ground cover together and have that so that, um, that, that's what's making that, making the difference. um so um and then uh kind of on a on a different subject here um you know uh smoky floyd is asking can i use lab on this child of mine after her stinky feet and shoes absolutely um just um put

26:29 put some lacto into the shoes and it really should do a whole bunch to eliminate the odor it's that's a classic thing to do you know odor elimination is is very important put it in your laundry as well so anytime you're putting you know your clothes on your child it's they're covered in lactobacillus which are the knf protectors right and um and yeah it's it's very compatible with human beings um it's very you know beneficial uh you know it also helped to reduce some foot fungus if she's having those types of issues. And, um, yeah, so,

27:08 yeah, so some interesting Korean videos that are building up a family. Um, yeah. Um, yeah. So healing earth remediations is saying, I would love to go through and watch all your videos, video lineups with you live with you live replays in Q and a after each video. It'd be so awesome. Um, so yeah, if you have any questions about that, um, that video that we, I just showed, um, you know, master Cho talking there in the field up in Korea, um, love to have those. Um, and, um, and which dilution is that on the fabrics? Um, you know, when I, when I do my

27:53 laundry, I put in about two tablespoons of lactobacillus into the, just straight into the washing machine and to the clothes. And it is super saturated. It has sugar in there, but it all gets washed around and doesn't really stain my clothes when I pour it on top. And if you look at more commercial things, like even Tide and stuff is starting to put lactobacillus in there. But as you know, if you make the Korean natural farming KNF protectors, you actually get a broader family and these are probiotics that help to clean up all kinds of

28:29 things, help your digestion, help all kinds of things happen. So yeah, and just, yeah, you can put some in a spray bottle and spray the shoes. That would be a good solution there. Yeah, and just dump it in. The goofman just dumps it in me too. I mean, I do. And then I also use the soap that I make. Um, and, and also the other thing that I've realized if you put lactobacillus in your, um, in your laundry is if you leave it in the washing machine for a day or two, it doesn't get stinky. Like it does if you didn't use it. Um, so, um, and, and you can,

29:08 you can still use your other detergent. I, I, I highly recommend you don't use detergents because as those wash out from your water, like from your house into the water supply, detergents are gnarly on the environment. So I recommend you use soap instead of detergent. Um, if you, you know, if you can avoid it, um, do avoid it because detergent is, uh, it, it really changes the way water works and, um, kind of is not that great for the environment, but soap just straight up Castile soap like Dr. Bronner's and or, you know, the way Jadam makes it where you're just

29:44 taking, you know, Young Song Cho makes it where you just take oil and lye and heat them up and then add water, you know, like make a liquid soap. It's really good on the environment. So, so I just use soap and, and lactobacillus and I try not to, you know, put detergents. and thomas in florida is saying he uses lab on the clothes his kid pukes on or ends up getting crap on yeah because there's pathogens in those things that's why the vomit um smells kind of gnarly um and yeah it's um yeah and yeah i wish you knew about it when you're young playing hockey

30:28 yeah because in in teach go go go to the hockey rink and just be give make some lactobacillus and go there and give it to the parents of the kids playing hockey today and be like, hey, look, here's this stuff. And then, you know, if this works for you and you want more of it, come take a little workshop with me and I'll teach you how to make this. It costs pennies to make, you know. So go there and help all the hockey moms and teach them about it. You know, talk about getting people that maybe, you know, so often I'll find people and they'll be like, well, I don't farm. It's like, yeah, you do.

31:00 You're farming your guts and you're farming their microbes in your clothes. and you're farming all these things. And so talk about getting into a new group of people that are, you know, maybe not even aware of natural farming. Talk about growing this family, growing this clan. It's reaching out to people where they can find these uses where, you know, if you find this miracle of lactobacillus through hockey, it's like, wow, you know, and you'll find out how many other things that has applications in your life. And it's a great

31:32 way to get people, you know, thinking about sovereignty, you know, getting off corporations, selling you, you know, Tide and whatever, you know, what is it, Johnson and Johnson selling us all these chemical. It's like, man, you can make a lot of these things at home. I got a little thing that's stuck in my throat. Hang on. That was a, I was drinking my smoothie while watching that video. yeah and Tyler saying there's no mold this year it's like yeah lactobacillus IMOs keeping the everything in balance that ecosystem because no mold is the one um and uh thank hey thanks for

32:14 healing earth remediations and um for access to the videos you know they're on the youtube channel but there's also I was looking through and I was finding all this all this video footage that's not even on the YouTube. And, um, it's just on this hard drive here where if I look at this thing here, it's like, there's all kinds of, um, videos that didn't, didn't make it out there. Um, but, uh, you know, some, some of that marked my most valuable footage, you know, coming from, um, from the original, um, um, you know, trips, trips to Korea and stuff. It's like those,

32:58 those things, man, they, they, you know, I have so much, uh, so much footage and I wish, I wish I had more footage. Let me, let me switch this screen over here, but, uh, I wish I had more of this footage here. Um, oh yeah, it's going to like loop around and loop around. Look at that. I got it. But, um, this was our original 2011, um, teacher training. Look, there's Ginger John, Drew Young, Jenny B. Um, yeah, ISIS. All, uh, and, um, the guys from Kohala up there and, uh, you know, he taught us all the solutions. This is how I learned all this

33:39 stuff, you know, doing hands-on and getting slapped. Um, you know, when I, when I did it and, um, You know, but I just have, you know, so much footage here of, you know, I was also looking through here, you know, talking about raising the family up. But, you know, when I used to work here at the school garden with the kids, you know, growing food with them. That doesn't look like our best nursery photos. but this is when you give kids iPads. This is what they take pictures of. But working with these kids, growing all this food, you know, taros, cassava, bananas, all this stuff out here,

34:23 you know, mulching, like Master Cho was saying, mulching. This was wood chips that we got. But, you know, to this day, this garden is, you know, different and is still a food forest because of the impact I had. This was a field before I got there, you know. But what could be better than growing food with kids. And I think it's funny. Look at this. This is our greenhouse. It was probably the worst of anything because it's like you take away nature. You take away the rain and you try and do this irrigation. You try and do this stuff away and it's not nearly as good.

35:00 Look at our stuff outside, our sugar cane or cassava. You know, and I use this weed mat to lay it down and then we'd pull it up. And we'd also use this tin to kill the grass back and then slowly just moving it forward leapfrogging it forward and then planting into these fields that we'd create you know um and then we you know here's us planting more cassava and sugar cane and interplanting those things and teaching the kids about that um oh man that's what happens when you give kids ipads Bye.

36:03 some banana trees, sweet potato, some banana trees back there and then we have a papaya tree over here. Papaya tree over there. We have some more sweet potato in the beds over here. We got sweet potato beds right here. And then over here we have some, hey, over here. She would come over here. We have some paracchio. We have some paracchio. Here is This is our main pond with most of our tilapia. Breeding pond. This is our breeding pond. We have most of our tilapia now so they can breed and have more generations. And then over here we have our baby plants that we're waiting for to grow.

36:48 We have lots over here. Because we want to grow, right? Over here we have some tea, obviously. We have a daisy. We have a sunflower over here. some lettuce in these two pots, some corn, and then over here some flowers, over here we have some taro, this is another jade we find, and then over here we have, this is our random tree, and this is our mountain apple tree. And over here down these wood chips, those we put over there so that the wood rope Do not eat them the rose beetles yeah rose beetles sorry okay um over here we have our compost pile our gravel pile so that's what we use to level up

37:41 the tilapia um pigeon pea or tea we have another banana tree banana trees and down there down there and then down and then down there we have our compost pile get away and over here is our wood chip pile we have a spy spy on us we have a wood chip here we have some wood chip so yeah i mean this this here working with the kids i don't know i mean yeah how excited they are to show the garden man talk about building a you know family a good clan it's like you know just I volunteered down well and volunteer I got paid to do it but started working with an after

38:28 school program with those kids and then you know they those kids that was that's long enough ago that they just graduated high school like last year so those kids are now out there in the real world, you know, um, doing stuff and hopefully this had some sort of impact in their life. And hopefully this, you know, was growing, you know, but that's, that's what I, that's what I used to do these days. I'm here on the farm here doing, doing that same thing for myself, but being out there teaching the kids, you know, helping, helping them, um, uh, you know, grow and learn.

39:05 And hopefully they have some sort of sovereignty where they know, okay, I can grow taro, sweet potato, you know, all the things they showed you, you know, it's just so fun to play with, with kids and, and teach them about, about this. And, you know, I mean, the family, the connection, you know, that's, that's the thing is I go back, I go back on this hard drive and I go look at all these things that I've done. And it's like, it's like, you know, sometimes I'm like, man, I, you know, what am I doing with my life? And then I realized it's like, well, you know, I don't know.

39:36 I mean, I've done a lot of good stuff to teach kids and I, you know, every day I try to continue to refine myself, to be that inner person, to be somebody who can bring peace and love to the world. And, you know, I'm not, I'm not necessarily working with those kids anymore because the, actually the school environment was really pretty gnarly. I mean, I was a great influence in their life. I mean, if you just look at this, like I just let kids be natural, right? So, um so like here's here's just them playing like this is our our area but like look look what

40:13 they're doing here let me see here yeah i gotta like look what they're doing they're just riding chairs around and stuff you know like i just let kids be kids you know and then and then they'd help out you know to grow these things and you know i think this looks like an adult volunteer day but um that was like tristan um but you know just letting kids be kids and cruise around and you know mulching and and doing these things and you know giving them a natural environment where they can they can hang out and and do do things and show them and you know so often today we're like

40:50 you know the kids are just plugged into video games and things and i'm just just scrolling through all these things but you know it does take adult volunteers and good people to come and mentor their lives, but really, you know, um, just, just doing, doing those things, looking through these hard drives, finding, finding this stuff of, you know, the good I was doing in the world and continue to do, and always trying to turn myself into that superior person and see where, you know, what's, what's best and what, what can I do? And it's just amazing to

41:22 always look back at these things and to see, you know, what, what, like, like, like this video, So he, you know, I got one more here. You see how it's going right there? That's what pickaxons are meant for. Right here. So let's dig right there. I think we'll find them, yeah? And Mary working. Help teaching them how to dig up food from the ground. You know, here's, we're digging up a cassava here. And they also did use pickaxons. They also have hammer drills for the shipping ground. I'll take that. Oh, I got the jack on there. Jack, I guess. I guess.

42:07 What? Aren't you guys going to collect the whole... What is it? You want to do that? What are you guys looking at? I don't know. It's something you don't want to do. You know, and the thing with kids, too, is you got to be patient and just let them do it and learn, you know? You could just be like, oh, here, I'll harvest this and just rip it out of the ground for them. But what's more important is teaching them how to do this and how to dig up this root. I mean, talk about them feeling like they're empowered. You know, look at this. There's one right there.

42:39 You think one broke off? Yeah, it's over there. All right. Quentin gets it out. So instead of using a pickaxe, these are hands. It's a better tool. Yeah, it's over there. Quentin, put the pickaxe on, use your hands, get in there. No, it's over there. Yeah. That's not it. Yes, it is. Oh, yeah. Oh, somebody. Oh, somebody. Oh, somebody. Come on. Come on. Come on. Oh. Alright. Oh, sorry. Is that a problem? And right now, Jake and Miss Mary are holding up a cassava root. Dun, dun, dun, dun. And this is Quintin. Healthy starch. Remember that.

43:22 so yeah i mean just i don't know teaching kids doing that it's like man this is this is good um so um anyway i gotta just just reminiscing on this with you guys it's it's kind of fun it's a good day for this you know teaching kids this um and uh tyler here is and he did some tests on a five acre block of Chardonnay, which had mold issues forever. And that's our worst mold spot using leaf, veg spray, lab and 300 gallon spray. We've done three applications and there's no mold this year. So, um, so in a vineyard situation where, you know,

44:10 think of how many vineyards are out there and how many people drink wine and it's like concentrated, you know things so if you got fungal spores in there like it's like no mold this year with what tyler's saying that you know on his on his um garden it's you know it's natural farming he's using here that's awesome so anyway just kind of scrolling up seeing that um yeah um and so let's see um uh so hs hjs divine hands is asking can you use fruits with mold starting to grow for uh for a can of food like a plant juice and um it's best not to you want to use fresh stuff um the whole

45:03 point is you want to get the good microbes that are growing on the outside if you're getting a bunch of mold to break it down, it's not going to come out as good. Um, so avoid stuff that's already rotten before you use it. Um, you know, um, and yeah, let's see. Um, um, and Shaman King is asking, can I use the seed solution to help germinate coconuts? Do I have to remove the husk? And, um, I don't, I know, I don't think coconuts will sprout without the husk. I would not, I don't know, maybe someone who like, I propagated some coconuts before and

45:42 I'm usually just like, when I find the coconut, I mark the top with an X so that I always put that X the same way up. Because if you take a coconut and that you found and you rotate it after you, after it's been sitting for a while and you want to sprout, it won't sprout as well. So you try to keep the same orientation up and to set it down. And, um, and then I would just soak it as is. and soak it for maybe 12 hours in seed soak solution with the husk on, and it'll absorb into there and do fine. Coconut has taken an extremely long time to sprout,

46:17 but I would not take the husk off to sprout the coconut. I don't think it'll grow. I don't know if you husk it. and it'll it'll absorb through the husk into its into its outer husk it'll absorb it in there you don't I don't think you need to split it open and spray it in I think keeping it intact is actually that's the way the coconut's naturally designed to do and another thing with the coconuts is you know soak it with a decent amount of seawater in it too you know coconuts float across the ocean and seawater really helps soak them up. And sometimes Juan Santa is saying,

47:04 sometimes when I make the can of food, the juice is very thick. It has too much sugar in it to ferment properly. Is it okay to dilute? No, just leave it thick. Don't dilute it until you're ready to use it. If you add water into it, you will activate the thing and it'll rot. So the whole point is to deny it water because those are vital hormones and enzymes that you want to keep in a preserved state. So thick fermented plant juice like a can of food is good can of food. Don't add water. Don't dilute it. and yeah and and as Thomas said use 30 to 50 percent of the weight of material for for the

47:52 initial mix and you'll get better results sometimes some folks on the internet show like adding way too much sugar and it's better to be a little bit less sugar there so So, yeah, and then PostUp Media is saying just let the coconuts float in the maintenance solution. You can leave it for like two weeks and they still sprout. They're sealed cocos. They're all sealed cocos that float. So he's probably been doing that down in Panama. And what's up, PostUp? Good to hear from you. Yeah, so those are the, you know, listen to someone who's done it and he's done it.

48:30 But I haven't really been sprouting many coconuts. And when I do, I just put the coconut down on the ground and it sprouts by itself. But yeah, if you're trying to get a coconut farm together and do a little bit more, why not? So hopefully you guys today are enjoying a little bit of this. Let's see, what else do we got here? um you know other other interesting things here um yeah i know i don't even put it on the ground i just put it on the top the coconuts and they they sprout um you know looking back at some footage that i had

49:19 let's not read in um you know like look at this little micro brewer that i had at one point in my going, you know, I see this is an airlift pump doing it around. I haven't been running this thing lately, but... And that thing was pretty messy. Should have put a better lid on it. But just, um, Oh, my pigs. Hey, this is suit and tux. This is old stuff. But, man, look at, like, the farm. This is my barn area.

50:02 If you look at this, like, before photo, like, this whole area, we've now turned this thing into, like, a full-on, like, you know, I was using an A-frame to try to get things and trying to plant corn to follow Master Chose things, but it doesn't really work that well. The grass here is too nuts and the soil is too poor. And the wild grass is better just to chop and drop that. You know, here you can see I'm trying to chop and drop corn and trying to do master chose methods. But it's too hard. Going through here, looking at my microscopes, my lactobacillus coming up next to it.

50:40 You know, it's all kinds of stuff. Let's see here. yeah this is oh man looking back at these old photos like you know you if if you if you look at this same place today it is just you know like nice little rainbow coming over but this right here that whole orchard is huge now and this um you know this area well this is actually a grass field there's actually a building right here now um but it's like it's just amazing to see let's see here let's not look at all these photos just randomly going through photos with you guys

51:21 um but man been you know doing this since forever that's that's 2013 you're looking at and you know another another um thing that i did back in the day talking about growing the family and growing the things up is um is this project here where we we went out and i got all these these folks to rally to um to plant downtown helo so this is the streets of helo this is our downtown area and um you know just kind of got quasi permission to do it and brought a bunch of plantings down and showed people and you know just getting people into natural farming and where they

52:06 may not have experience or land or areas to do it they're able to join in and to do these things um you know and you know just getting you know my friends and every everybody just to come out and and huli kalima that is huli kalima it's kind of funny shout out to lakea here um but yeah just you know planting food and getting getting ourselves and healthy and building community and building life together, you know, like this is, you know, talk about building the family, building the clan, you know, I did this here in Hilo,

52:53 but you can do this anywhere around. And, um, you know, even at night, my friend Glenn and I coming down to spray microbes at night and, uh, you know, just all this stuff, man. It's like, This is the inspiration. This is of anything that I want to remember on September 11th. It's all the good things that we've done to bring sovereignty to each other. It's all the good things that we've done to bring, you know, life and beautiful things. And, you know, and shout out to, you know, Wayne Bird here coming all the way from California to Hawaii to come to the K&F symposium that we put on in 2015.

53:38 You know, look how many people coming out just interested. And, you know, looking back at this makes me nostalgic. Like maybe I should do this kind of thing again. You know, it's like standing room only in here. You know, so many good people assembling to do just like great things. And the Farmers Union, you know, Vince Mina who just stepped down. And just, you know, all the great things we've done over the years. John's wife, Jackie, introducing a guy from KTA. you know these videos of richard perrella which i featured last week of just

54:12 um you know he's talking about his his natural farming experience how he's done this you know and just having people show what they're doing you know this this if we can build this up as a family as a clan get more of this going you know i mean i guess it starts with me but here you are you know here looking at this and uh you know it's happened right i'm just you know i'm showing you this here today as a little bit inspiration um and yeah spring at night you know when no one else is around doing those things you know but putting putting on little workshops wherever

54:54 you're at um you know just just showing people you know um you know and this uh kim here you know rest in peace bless her soul you know showing people how to make a can of food and all these like leslie all these all these folks that are now leaders in the kf movement are there watching and seeing, you know, from her as an original person, you know. Dr. Park showing the IMOs here, you know, and just Cherub who helped put all this whole thing on, and, you know, here's the whole deal. Like, everybody just really enjoying Mike DuPont overwatching from the side, the godfather of KNF.

55:42 You know, Ginger John showing his experience turning IMOs. Vince talking about something. Who knows? And just, yeah, I mean. And so, if in your IMO4 you have really nice visible fungal growth, but then you also get a little bit of the accent of bacteria, what do you is that still good to use? How do you know when it's gone too far? But if you use it, because, you know, nobody can just look at it and say you cannot use this one because there's some dead bugs. So, yeah, I don't know. I just kind of reminisce here and show and share. You know, this hard drive is full of stuff, man.

56:26 From years and years, it's got almost 20 terabytes of data and information and things. And one thing I did want to show and share right here, I know it's kind of getting a little reminisce on this. Hopefully you guys are enjoying this here a little bit. But I do have, you know, this here. Let's see. So here's a little bit of drone footage. And you can see I was burying fish out here into here. This is my farm right now. and this this this was actually uh uh 21 so it's a year ago now july of you know and and i gotta i

57:11 gotta fly the drone again um to get out there and do this but basically you know all these things since i've been putting the fish in drilling fish into the holes but then also dropping fish with wood chip piles and doing all that this whole thing has become better and i also want to show you right here if you look at this this is my I collect rainwater off this roof into this 375 gallon tank or 275 gallons and then from here this um this pipe comes down and out and this pipe is um let me see if I can zoom in on it a little bit here um this pipe comes down and out and I can put

57:52 it wherever I want so I put a bunch of my natural farming solutions in here seawater all those things and then I'm running it down on this pipe and I can disassemble it and put it over here over there and I'm drench flooding down here to try and really stimulate this area so this little system here is made you know drenching and feeding this field way easier and so so all these kinds of things you know of bringing the natural farming in and I gotta I gotta do a drone overflight here pretty soon on that same field. You can see the way it's changed. And also, while I'm on this,

58:30 this field over here right above me, this pasture has gotten way better since I've been rotationally grazing and also trying to do some treatments out there. But, you know, the improvements, one nice thing is to get a drone and fly it over and see your improvements. And another project I've been working on this week is going down here to this river and putting in some hydroelectric to bring the, you know, there's a huge waterfall right here, but bringing the hydroelectricity down so that we can run it back up and get that going because, anyway, yeah, you need that. My flat Florida is envious.

59:12 Yeah, and also, you know, Eyewitness knows what happens out in this pasture, right? Some good microbial action out there. and Healing Earth Remediation talking about burying whole fish. It's really amazing. And one thing, I don't think any of this... Let me see, I'll transition this back over so you don't see me cruising around. But I don't think any of this footage made it out of any of this here. But let's see, do I have any of these that are done? I don't think I even published any of these. I was going to do a project where, in fact, we were doing an AVA project together,

1:00:01 Suze and I, where... So we were, you know, none of this footage actually made it out. I was going to put together a whole, you know, we're going to do AVA and put it out. But, you know, we're augering holes in, and then Suze is taking the fish. Which hole are you going to next? And I'm going to mute this a little bit so that, you know, but we augered all these holes in, and then she's putting the fish in, in each of the holes. And, you know, and then that's the result that you're seeing over there. and then after the fish

1:00:48 goes in you know then it's oh no I didn't want to rename that undo you know so then we're throwing IMOs on top you know and And putting IMOs into the holes so that we're also, you know... Oh, my boots looked good back then. Those have seen some use. So just, you know, putting the fish, then putting the IMOs, then re-bearing that, and just getting these whole systems to work, you know. It's a great way to inoculate these fields and get everything fertile.

1:01:36 So, you know, is there some... And then bearing it back over, you know. And this is a lot of work. You know, I found easier ways to do it. But let's see. And then some drone footage. Everyone loves the drone footage. And this is, you know, showing, you know, while she's working, I'm over here filming. And that's what happens when you do YouTubes, man. It takes about twice as long, and you're about half as productive. so I haven't been um I haven't been doing that much YouTube lately of you know just to do this

1:02:18 project alone to film it took about twice as long to do you know and it's kind of nice because you get to share it with other people but it's kind of not nice because it's like oh man you know I just want to get things done you know it's like with the kids and stuff um so anyway um Looks like our time is up. And, you know, I just today, you know, I'm trying to show, inspire, show you a little bit of what I have going on, what I've done in the past. You know, building this family, doing what we're doing. You know, let's see. You guys, any more questions here? You know, yeah, you guys are good.

1:03:02 I mean, it's truly we're building a community. You guys are able to answer each other. um and how far is the pig pen and chicken coop from your house that's a good question let me go and show you one more uh drone flight here um let's see where's the drone of the farm and i will try to pick one that is a over flight let me see here um and hang on one sec um yeah let me see oh let's see um I mean this here here uh so let's see here do I have one where I'm flying over the whole way I mean probably one of these let's see here

1:03:52 yeah okay so I'll just I'll just show this one real quick here and uh end end the episode with this footage here which is just you know so i'm taking off here this is um right now currently i just took this drone off from right outside of where i'm sitting right now and then this field here is uh pasture right now this is where we were doing that ava um plantings here um however you know this is like this is an older footage this is from Well, it's 2022-01, so we're doing the AVA out here. I'm currently sitting right here in this building right now, talking to you.

1:04:38 You can see our rotational grazing we got out here on the upper field. There's the orchard coming in. This is my neighbor's land up here. Yesterday, I was fixing a pig hole right here. A pig had been coming in and tearing up this whole field over here. Um, and so we've been fixing that. This is my, my parents' house, their greenhouses, their farm down here, my farm mostly over here. And then over here on this side, this is the barn. This is where the pigs and chickens are. It's a little cattle barn there, but this is where we're growing all these bananas and putting in the food forest up here.

1:05:18 And so this is the, this is the barn. And I go up here every day and take care of my pigs, animals, everything. and down there is the waterfall so a little bit of an overflight to see kind of you know the land and everything going on here and um you know um so yeah so anyway I want to thank you guys for tuning in um you know hope you had a good week hope you're doing well and um you know, hopefully this was inspiring to you. See this, build the family, build the clan. It all starts with a superior person. That person just may be you. In fact, it probably is. And so, um,

1:06:04 I need a quad to get around. It's called, it's called a biped actually. And it's just two feet. Um, and, uh, I wish I had a quad. If anyone wants to, you know, super chat, $10,000, $14,000, I'd pick up a quad gladly, you know, could add 30% to that because YouTube takes it. Also want to shout out to Healing Earth Remediations and Jennifer for throwing down super chat. You guys make this happen. It's always, you know, I got a lot going on in my life and, you know, resources that come to me help me become an even more superior person.

1:06:36 So if you like my superiority, you know, hit that thanks, you know, or just do what you're doing. You know, I, you know, invest that money in your natural farming and teach somebody and then send me those photos so I can share this and build this bigger community. I want to thank you just being who you are, showing up, doing what you're doing. And remember, bush knock down the towers. Love you all. Have a great week. And long live the natural farmer. See you next week. Aloha.
