 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.

Getting Started with KNF Step 1

KNF Inputs for Beginners 

 

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.

Then we took a deep dive into IMO technology, including where and how to collect, IMO boxes for collection, setting up the collection, and how to properly collect IMO. We discussed why rice bran is used in IMO-Step 3 and how to make effective substitutions.

 

We discussed how to install IMO and build the Soil Foundation. We discussed using IMO for animals as well as plants.  We even discussed how to build a Soil Foundation if you're having trouble making IMO.
