ULC/KNF for pasture restoration
The answer
From the KNF library
Drake's closest library answer is for a 24-acre pasture. It has three steps: drench with diluted seawater, drill in fish, and apply disgustingly cheap JADAM microbes. (Office Hours Ep. 26, 23:30) Fish is the step your plan does not name. (Office Hours Ep. 26, 23:30)
The Pure KNF Manual says plant-based KNF Foods can fool soil microbes into believing exudates come from a mature, functioning plant above them. (Pure KNF Manual, p. 37) That is the reasoning behind feeding pasture soil with plant ferments.
For drone spraying, Drake gives pasture a lighter half rate, about 12 gallons per acre. (Office Hours Ep. 93, 34:56)
For a doubting farmer, Drake says a low-key 'try this' works better than a lecture. (Office Hours Ep. 41, 25:10) Drake's own IMO-fed pasture looked visibly different from the neighbor's pasture next door. (Office Hours Ep. 61, 54:42)
The library says nothing about timing before rain, fermented urine, or cost per acre.
