So after fermenting for over two years, I finally filtered my pumpkin FFJ. Smells like molasses and vinigar, no mold or mildew.

I am surprised how long my LABs have kept going must be a year now, and they are still creating pressure in my bottles with probably only 10% mollases added to volume of LABs.

You should see some effects! I used lab at the
rate of one teaspoon / gallon on some garlic. Do you know if regular nettles work, or has to be the stinging type? Iād have to walk for those to get enough. Soā¦I have fish parts and brown sugarā¦but no IM4 or OHNā¦ can I still make FAA? I see yr pic for FPJ project. Lots of things growing your way. All i have available currently is grassš£! Canāt wait for spring!

Can someone explain IMO collection in short? Whats the food source in the collection box? Are there any good natural sources of IMO i can find in the woods? Leaf mold maybe? Alsoā¦ this shutdown has me looking for alternative sources of ingredients required for this type of growingā¦ can i replace the rice? The brown sugar? Would maple syrup work? Some other grain maybe? I guess Iām talking about LAB here regarding the rice, but brown sugar seems to be key, and Iām betting rice has other uses in knf?

I used stinging nettles because itās what there is here in quantity. I have read in many other sources that you can use comfrey, dandy lion. From what I have understood it can be also grass, but that would be a good source of nitrogen. You want to use the parts of plants as a base and source of what your plants need. Hope Iām making senseā¦
Havenāt used the labs yet.
You could always plant flowers or use fruits indigenous to your area.

Do you have a dehumidifier? Itās a rather effective way of gathering bacteria 
I made mine by using white rice soaked for 24h in dehumidifier water. Strained the rice and transfer only the water into a clean jar covered with a cloth so it can breathe. After some days I used 1 part of this water to 9 of milk and let the magic happen.

Cultivating nematodes by using a Petri dish with vents
Place a live mealworm in petri dish and pour in some water inoculated with neamatodes ( not enough to drown the mealworm )
Wait till mealworm dies and turns dark in colour , then bury in soil
Mealworm will explode soon after with hundreds of fresh new neamatodes getting to work in the soil
I havenāt tried this yet but sounds fun lol
Oops , probably better if that was somewhere else as itās not really knf : )

Sort of in the same fashion as KNF in that youāre using nature for natural reactions.
Nice link to @hempyfanās paper. Itās one of the most exhausted sources Iāve ever seen. Heās got the cycle of life in there. I put that at the very top of my bookmarks a long time ago. Iām about to start using it more myself now on my place. Iām slowly getting there.
How have you been bro? I never see Justcozz anymore. I stop in over there but Iām over here more. peace

Sounds like I need to get back into it. I remember browsing through it and hitting special areas, and loving the vibe he added to it. I need it for my whole place. Iām going to rely heavily on it for a roadmap. peace
