ROOTED AND RISING
In LEVEL ONE we covered how to overcome the problem of needing inputs when it takes time to make them. We covered the first steps to take, the beginning goals and skills you will need, and tips to help you plan your KNF journey. Since you can’t start with everything, we covered which inputs to start making first.

In LEVEL TWO we discussed the Groundwork used to start practicing KNF, the soil, the seeds, the genetics, and the animals.
How to KNF Groundwork
In covering the Soil Foundation, we went into detail about Indigenous Micro-Organisms (IMO), including how and why they form the foundation of this system of Natural Farming known as KNF.
