n KNF, formulas are designed to guide plant growth, using Fermented Plant Juices (FPJ) as the active ingredient. Plants are lightly misted, no more than once per week. Leaf tip FPJs are used for vegetative growth, green fruit FPJs for fruit development, and so on. The patterns are straightforward and easy to follow. Unless your plant lacks distinct growing phases. Some have vegetative growth, flowering, and fruit, all happening on the same plant at the same time. How do you u

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

Clearly, the loving farmer is going to have healthier plants. It does not matter whether plants can read human emotions and react to them, although they probably do. As scientific tools improve, scientific experiments increasingly show that plants respond to stimuli, including human interaction. The fact is that the loving farmer, doing the same chores, is giving plants better physical care. Your attitude drives your actions. In order to have better health for your crops, you

The purpose of Fermented Plant Juices (FPJ) is to capture and preserve the biochemical profile (hormones, enzymes, and cofactors) to direct growth using Biochemical Signaling Technology. Plant material is collected and fermented at defined growth stages, then applied to crops to trigger corresponding growth responses. FPJ directs plant growth. It is important to clean (rack) and store FPJ properly to preserve these qualities. Racking, or separating the fermented serum (FPJ) f

As a grower, deciding how to feed plants can make everything better or make everything worse. Many people follow conventional wisdom, not understanding what they have decided or even that alternatives exist. This knowledge can directly affect the bottom line. Modern growing techniques offer prescriptive solutions, directives really. The grower does not need to make many decisions, only to follow directions. • Fertilizer Rates • Soil Test Recommendations • Nutrient Deficiency

I made an FPJ of this herb for personal use. It is documented in a video on our YouTube channel: Natural Farming Field Notes. I follow Korean Natural Farming (KNF) techniques and the Hawaiian Lunar Calendar. This guide is extensive and meant to serve as a reference. As an adaptogen, Tulsi is a plant that helps the body adapt to stress and restore balance. As an FPJ or tonic, tulsi may act as an adaptogen, balancing the immune system of plants just like it does for humans.

The most valuable skill in farming can’t be bought, bottled, or scheduled. It isn’t proper planting, fertilizing, or pest control. It’s learning to recognize patterns and respond to them in a timely manner. Recognizing patterns enabled humans to settle, grow food, and build civilizations. The right action at the wrong time has zero reward; the right action at the right time produces abundant results.

FPJ, Fermented Plant Juice, is NOT A FERTILIZER! It is used as a Biochemical Signaling agent. It is used to signal plants what to do. It is
