Korean Natural Farming (KNF) Workshop

The Korean Natural Farming (KNF) method takes advantage of indigenous microorganisms (IMO) (bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa) to produce fertile soils that yield high output without the use of herbicides or pesticides.

In this workshop, you'll learn, through theory and practicals, how to use the KNF method in your cannabis garden.

What you'll learn in each class:

Class 1 beginner

Theory:

Evolution of KNF

Microbial Theory

Practical:

In this class, we will make Lactic Acid Bacillus Serum (LABS) for your plants and livestock.

Class 2 beginner

Theory:

Application of KNF inputs 

Practical:

In this class, we will strain and procure our LABS, and make a highly active fermented plant juice (FPJ). 

Class 3 beginner

Theory:

Compost: "the answer"

Composting Correctly 

C:N ratios

Sourcing Input Materials 

Practical:

In this class, we will extract our FPJ, begin turning the plant material into Vinegar, a great stimulator and cleanser. Next, you will make your very own, craft Fish Amino Acid (FAA), this will be taken home to ferment for at least 6 months. 

Class 4 beginner

Theory:

Building Living Soil, mulching and mycology. Permaculture and regenerative farming, what's the story? 

Practical:

This class will begin in a secret location where the class will collect undisturbed indigenous micro organisms IMO1 and head back to Futurama to make IMO 2. 

Overview

***************************

Class 5 Advanced

Theory:

Hügelkultur, Horizontal Soil Systems and other advanced soil systems. The role of Calcium in Plants. 

Practical:

This class will focus on making Water Soluble Calcium (WCA) and discuss dry amendments and when to use them. 

Class 6 Advanced

Theory:

Vermiculture, and how for example, nematodes and microarthropods build structure in our soil and process nutrients into water-soluble forms. We will cover Nutrient Cycling in more depth. 

Practical:

In this class, we will make an enzyme, vitamin and nutrient-rich Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ) and an input many find surprised to learn about, fermented Sea Water. 

Class 7 Advanced

Theory:

Alternative uses. 

Misconceptions. 

Accountability. 

Education. 

Practical:

This class will be all about OHN. Back to front, top to bottom, students will know exactly how to make and use Oriental Herbal Nutrients. Thereafter, we will extract our delicious FFJ! 

Class 8 Advanced

Theory:

BRIX levels, beneficial insects, companion plants, trap plants, decoy plants, cover crops and dynamic accumulators. How KNF and the soil food web interact in Synergy. KNF at scale. 

Practical:

In this class, we will turn IMO2 into IMO3 by inoculating fermented bran. We will also make liquid IMO.
