This series of articles on How to Start KNF is not meant to give you recipes. It’s meant to teach you how to cook. So far, we have covered the basics on how to start practicing KNF. This is a quick review of the basics before we cover more advanced concepts. Level one of How to Start KNF focuses on setting up the systems. It’s about setting goals, learning skills, and starting things that take time to be ready for use. IMO is the foundation of the soil, and the foundation of

In Nature, plants grow abundantly without applied fertilizers. They do so through circular, self-reinforcing systems that recycle nutrients, build organic matter, and make minerals biologically available. These systems run on living soil.

Farmers who grow food without fertilizers, whether on small plots or broad-acre land, share this same foundation. They begin by establishing biolo
