EM-5 made with KNF inputs ?
From the KNF library
The library has no recipe for EM-1 or EM-5, so it cannot say whether KNF inputs match them.
Drake describes KNF protectors as lactic acid bacteria made from milk. He sprays them early and often when rust and anthracnose take hold. (Office Hours Ep. 87, 54:25) LAB can also be cultivated from rice wash water and unpasteurized milk. (Unravelling the Mysteries of KNF, p. 63)
OHN is made from licorice, angelica, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon. (Unravelling the Mysteries of KNF, p. 63)
For a cleaner, Drake's KNF Cleanser mixes one part finished KNF fruit food with two parts water. It ferments three to six months, until pH drops below 2.4. (Office Hours Ep. 66, 1:09:35)
The library says nothing about EM-1, molasses as a LAB source, the sea salt swap, OHN in place of liquor, or use on equipment.
