IMO #3 with Chris Trump. Natural Farming on our farm.

[@biomei.solutions]

I will be adding a bunch more videos over the next three months. Please subscribe so that you are notified.

[@biomei.solutions]

Great question Karry! In Natural Farming literature it is very ambiguous. I chose our rate based on coverage and 'wetness' of the leaves. We apply liquid IMO full strength at a rate of 20gallons / acre. This rate is for an orchard, but because it is undiluted I believe this rate would still apply for a row crop situation, though I might dilute by 50% and double the rate (same IMO/acre, just more water). I would do this so that you get more of a drench effect. I used this rate for grassland treatment with Great results.

[@biomei.solutions]

karry fisher, there was a bug to reply to your comment... :(

[@Masterthunderlb]

Do you sell your Imo? I live in Laie on the north shore. I would love to come check you out.

[@Dugsigabeerah]

why not to say thank you, as you know poor guy like me from third world country would never ever have access to these kinds of information i do appreciate and thank you again.

[@biomei.solutions]

I am glad you like it. I hope it is helpful

[@hortihorteae]

I live in Malaysia. The climate here is more the same as Hawaii. I learned a lot from your channel. Thanks Chris Trump. Your information help me in understand more about KNF.

I Feel an intuitive connection to this extraordinarilly earth connected methodology to Natural Farming..C.T. is my favorite resource of the many because of how the process alone of collecting microbes has given me wagonloads of food for my imagination thinking about how this art science is working in my garden...Thanks and Peace to Chris Trump ! ! 🤔🤗🌄

[@samiamm5764]

Having just built my first compost brewer out of a 55G drum, that brew tank u got just blew my mind 🤯 it’s a beautiful beast!!

[@darkbulb367]

The cool thing about composting in a 30 or 55 gallon worm tower is that they're easy to move. I can put them around a tree that needs a little help, a little break from TX sun soil drying, a little help w/ nutrition, attract a little earthworm population to the root system of the tree, that sort of thing.

[@AlexRawlings]

I am soooo happy to hear of this being sprayed on the trees instead of pesticides!

[@ricksolosailor5804]

Thank you so much! Pure admiration. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and process freely like this. Beautiful life you have going.

[@sarahweatherley5798]

Thank you so much for these fantastic videos! I'm getting this started in Cockatoo Australia and have learned so much from your teachings. I just think it's all really good, amazing stuff and I can't wait to see what it's going to bring. I' ve always loved growing, fermentation, tinctures, growing mushrooms and microorganisms, weeds, medicine, puting back and so on ..... It all finally fits into one full circle of nature and production of beautiful things. With sixty acres of cleared land, bush forest, and a spring, healing this cleared with its own forest power through growing is a dream. So thank you again for your wisdom.

[@CHANTIP]

can we buy your finish product? where? thank you

[@tylerharry6319]

Thanks for the info Chris, but i gotta ask, why do you need all those ingredients? Couldn't you just take your IMO 1/2, mix with some sugars and water, and make a tea in order to propagate the microbes? Or in the case that fungi won't propagate in water, couldnt you just take some organic rice meal and mix that with the IMO1 for colonization? Just not sure why you need like 8 different products just to make imo3.

[@joybaisden2574]

Is there a good book on this? I am not on a farm but would like to make this for my 2 acres. I have 5 raised beds and fruit and nut trees.

[@MrRoarke420]

Curious about spraying at the end of the day, or so it seems. Are you concerned about fungus?

[@lyquach1149]

Thank you for sharing.

this is so beautiful.

[@jerrysnelling8665]

Great video! Most Natural Farming seems to be done in Hawaii. I have a permaculture farm in the Tennessee mountains. I obviously don't have the same plants to make the formulas. How can it be applied here?

[@biomei.solutions]

+Jerry Snelling the beauty of NF is the philosophy and science is centered in using indigenous resources. I am currently apply NF principles in Boise, ID on a 2 acre farm. It works here just the same as in Hawaii. Farming is different here, but the NF principles are the same. Let me know if you run into any specific questions.

[@jerrysnelling8665]

Thank you Chris! I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out!

[@briansakurada2823]

[@santoshainguva2649]

How do you made humic acid

[@karryfisher4563]

Chris, we are doing something very similar, we are using only the waste from our property along with waste from our local Grain Mill waste facility. I would say the only difference is that we also add biochar to our IMO3 making stage. We make IMO4 as you do and sprinkle IMO3 between weeks. So, my question is, how many acres do you cover with your batch please?

[@arthurwong991]

Hi Chris, where can we buy the big tank for making liquid IMO as per your video on large scale spraying? We have a 100 acres durian farm. Thanks

[@arthurwong991]

Is JADAM JMS inferior to this liquid IMO? As the steps is much easier to make. In addition, we wanted to prep another 100acres vacant land for planting somewhere next year. What's your recommendation on the prep regime? Thanks in advance. Cheers mate

[@turnerrobert87]

When you make the liquid brew, how much imo3 do you use per gallon, and then how much of that do u spray per acre?

[@biomei.solutions]

+Robert Turner (Mr. Turner) hey man, I apply about 20 gallons per acre for an orchard. I would 5-10gallons/ acre for row crops. Here is a link to a "how to: Liquid imo" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJeoq5mmqNKFoq8 That might help determine amounts per gallon.

[@holokai21]

Question;What type tree are you spraying?Working up in Pupukea on O'ahu could use some tips what type trees benefit from IMO?We have Avocados,mangos,U'lu,Apple bananas,Lime,Tangerine,Lychee,Longon,Dragon fruit(Pitaya)some Coffee,Cainito.

[@biomei.solutions]

+w. scott Hamilton everyone of those would benefit :) I am spray macadamia nut trees. Just make sure that you get a ‘fungally dominated’ IMO for tree application. Bring in wood chips and humid acid for IMO3 :) hope that helps man.

[@Tolbertwa]

Hi Chris, It's me again. Hope I'm not a pain in your butt yet. Also hope you and all your family are well. I wondered about using spent beer grains as a carb and saw dust as a carbon for my IMO3 base. I can get then moth consistently and free. I figured I could mix have the sawdust (kept as dry as possible) ready before I got the grains once I get them I could mix them together using the sawdust to absorb as much of the moisture as possible. Hoping i could get a good mixture in terms of C:N ratio, and in terms of moisture level concurrently. I guess I'm just wondering if there was asny reason that those two ingredients would not be good for IMO3.

[@wendykornberg3934]

William Tolbert did you try this?

[@XbullzX1]

I do not understand from watching this video what materials to look for in MY area. Are you using Macadamia nut because that is a carbon material? Am I just looking for carbon materials in my area?

Hi Mr. Trump, I would like to ask if you have a manual or a bucket list of all the ingredients from IMO 1 to 5, during my OJT in the Farm here in the PH, we have very limited resources and information about the NFS, on my field study I used FAA as my foliar fertilizer on my lettuce and the root got burn. I don't know if the cause of burn is the amount or dosage or the formula. I'm not so sure about the FAA if a made it correctly or not. Thanks for your help in advance Mr Trump for a piece of advice.

[@biomei.solutions]

+Freddie,Jr. Barcelenia I am sorry you had damage on your lettuce. FAA in Natural Farming, is use at a rate of 1ml/liter water. Please watch the videos IMO 1-4 that I made and then ask me your questions then :)

SWEET mixer! I have a 6X6X4' high compost bin for initial breakdown & then I load into either 30 gal or 55 gal plastic drums which with major holes and rabbit cage wire in the bottom are essentially big assed worm towers. This means to turn my shit I either shovel or rake it out of the main bin. OR I'm raking it out & dumping it out of a barrel, stirring, raking, shoveling in fresh medium to break down and then loading the drum back up. A little bit of work.

[@martusia9333]

Hi Chris, Great videos. I was thought to store IMO #2 with a lid on top with no air coming in. You have covered your IMO's with only paper towel and store for 3 years?. Can you tell more about that, please? Is that tank specifically designed for natural farming? Where did you get it, if I can ask? I'm from Hawaii Big Island. I have only 7 acres and I just started doing natural farming. Your videos are awesome. Love it. You have a new subscriber :)

[@biomei.solutions]

+Marta Wilson breathable is better for the storage of IMO2. :) For 7 acres check out my "how to: liquid IMO" I don't think you need a big tank like mine. You probably want to aim at making 40 gallons at a time. Have fun with KNF!! Thank you for your encouraging words!

Imo why not

[@gilshelley9183]

I am an agronomic soil scientist. A word of caution about aqueous vegetative extracts "compost tea". First: the finish extract contains very little, if any, nutrient value in lab analysis. When compared to groups receiving an equal amount of water on the same schedule the two groups are indistinguishable. Secondly: these malto-lactic fermented solutions can be dangerous. E. coli, salmonella and even cholera have been incubated this way with deadly consequences in Korea and Taiwan. Compost does not have these issues and is generally recognized as safe and effective.
