Just like we use IMO to inoculate soil, we can install IMO into the bedding of barns and other animal enclosures to create living floors. The concept is to install a floor that mimics a healthy forest floor made of leaf litter and spongy soil, which composts all organic matter quickly and efficiently. It’s easy to make. We build a bedding system with sufficient organic matter and inoculate it with high concentrations of soil biology, IMO, taken from healthy local soil. The

IMO, Indigenous Micro-Organisms, is the foundational technology of Korean Natural Farming. It is the application of high concentrations of soil biology taken from healthy, local soil. It is installed as a complete ecosystem. MO is efficient because: 1. Soil biology is installed in high concentrations. 2. The soil ecology is installed as a complete, intact ecosystem. 3. A single application can be enough. It allows plants to live in their Natural State and acquire their own nu

Good soil has a rich layer of topsoil. It has good tilth, which is the physical condition and quality of soil as it relates to plant growth.

The soil is altered from a fallen state to one of health and fecundity. This is the medicine for sick and damaged soil.
