I have not tried that. I imagine the food processor would not like it.

Easy answer is to make IMO3. The book provides uses and experimental ideas. Other searches may help. You can also use your imagination. IMO 2 is a great refrigerator stable biological source.

Yes, decant per instructions, dilute 1:1000 to start and see if your plants like it.

Yes you can make tomato leaf fpj. Not all plants may like it though.

1:1000 up to 1:500

Cooking removes organic material and water.

How closed. Use a cloth so it can breath. Tough to tell with so little information, but generally I would not worry about a mold on a fermentation. When you are ready to decant simply remove the mold on top.

@@nigelpalmer3439 Thank you , Nigel, it is sealed completely, as was done by another youtuber ( to avoid the fishy smell). I will put a cloth on top instead.

@@dorothyfu7540 Sounds good

So glad you are experimenting. Sounds like you are having successes. All forms of carbon can be added to the compost pile. Wood chips from small green branches have fungi that will help the compost pile. Not turning the pile will promote fungal rather than bacterial digestion. I use wood chips when adding very nitrogen rich material like manure or freshly cut grass. Maintain a balance of C:N:P:S as you build your compost pile is important.

@@nigelpalmer3439 I read other pages of your book: interesting! I successfully made imo 2 despite not having respected all your parameters as a scientist😅. I can't find any information on how to use imo3 in compost or rather: once the compost becomes "mature" do I spread it on the soil, on the surface, being aerobic or do I have to mulch it? (if I use the no-dill technique). or is it better to incorporate it into the first layers of soil and then mulch? now here in Italy we are facing a very hot summer: min. 24 * C and max 32 ^ C and more. Happy gardening! thanks!

@@marcobel2919 I use imo3 to make imo4. We see those temperatures here as well. The tomatoes and peppers like it!

@@nigelpalmer3439 Dear friend, thanks for the quick reply and I am following your recipe to prepare imo2. He stays outside in the shade in a ventilated area. Five days have passed and the scent is still the same as at the beginning: a good caramel scent, I think it is precisely that of brown sugar. From the book I do not understand what kind of scent it becomes when it is ready. (Here it is precisely 32° and the minimum instead 24Centigrade.) I thank you for the assistance and I hope that my questions can also be useful to other people.

@@marcobel2919 You are on the right track. Keep up the good work.

Many have asked about using other forms of sugar for this recipe. Just like with baking the water content of the sugar is important to the fermentation process. It is suggested to use brown sugar, organic if possible, first to understand what is expected, and then experiment with other sugars.

Any size will help. Lately I use a kitchen sieve to sift the shells added at transplant or during the winter months, larger sizes to the compost pile. Adding crushed shells to your growing space is a low cost and effective part of a long term mineralization program.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Comfrey and water - 5 years, dandelion leaf mold 1.5 years, carrot tops .5 years. The longer periods were for information. Shorter times will provide results as well.

@@nigelpalmer3439 Thank very much! Is that why the book recommends 1 to 20 as a dilution for aqueous extracts and 1 to 500 for fermented juice, so as to have approximately the same nutrients fed to the plants? Jadam gives 1 to 100 as a base for JLF. Thank!

@@jongermani Yes. Jadam is a great reference.

Your plants will not mind the smell.

It may be. Try it and see if your plants like it.

Bones, shells, feathers, wool, what else is in your back yard..... Close waste gaps and feed your soil, your plants and yourself.

You do not have to cut the grass. Apply a thin layer of IMO4. You can put the IMO on top, but remember that it is alive and needs water and housing to thrive. Be sure to water or have rain shortly after application. Some mulch wont hurt. Simply adding the hay and waiting 6-9 months works too.

Well done. Thanks for taking the time to translate. Perhaps you are reading the Italian translation of the book then? Fermented plant juices and vinegar extractions are not toxic in the dilution rates prescribed so not a concern. A few days should be okay, but there may be regulations that are to be considered. Residual materials in the foliar or fertigation equipment might be though. Manure on the other hand has biological components that would be a concern and are better suited for the compost pile.

@@nigelpalmer3439 Thank you! Yes I am reading the Italian translation of your book, great and thank you for having it translated. Does what you wrote about toxicity for fermented juices and vinegar extractions also apply to aqueous extractions and to extractions with fermented leaf compost with the dilutions written in the book? I talk about toxicity mainly for private use and then also for sale. A few days do you mean 2-3 days?

@@jongermani No, does not apply to other extractions where the biology is not controlled. Vinegar will kill biology, fermentation selects specific biology.

@@nigelpalmer3439 Okay thank you very much! For the fermented juice and vinegar so 2-3 days of waiting is enough to be safe?

@@jongermani Safe from what? People consume fermented products - kombucha, sauerkraut... and vinegar extractions - salad dressings... all the time?

Do not wash. There are no excess salts. Salt water from the ocean diluted 1:30 is a great plant mineral source.

@@nigelpalmer3439 interesting, good to know

Usually and indication of too much moisture. Try again!

No need to follow any mathod blindly u can catch this white mold anywhere no need to go to forest even inside ur kitchen cobert and rice also not necessary u can take vermicompost and oats powder and keep it inside ur house

Go Billi. There is more going on in a cubic foot of soil than any of us will ever understand, but the thrill of trying is worth it. Thanks for sharing.

@@nigelpalmer3439 ikr - i just let other people try, i really enjoy their findings but only have memory for the gist of things. Which doesn't take away from the sheer awe and joy. (oh and i forgot knees 🙃 Not to go home till the bats come out, and even then, if there's a nice bright moon... May your life continue to be beautiful 💚

@@nigelpalmer3439 Thank you!

Burns off organic matter and removes water so vinegar can get into the small spaces and react.

@@nigelpalmer3439Ooooh, thank you that makes sense!

Yes, but there may be smells depending on what it is you are cooking.

Cook shells to remove organic matter and water. Too fine will clog foliar sprayer.

You are welcome

Natural area yes, but local like your back yard! Harness the biology in your back yard and bring it into your growing space which may not have the same diversity.

Dont need any forest area for this imo u can make it inside ur house too because it catch only this white fungus which is a decomposing fungus and it present everywhere , it doesnt have any maichoraiza or tricoderma or other beneficial fungus except this decamposing fungus and many times it also attract black harmful fungus in forest area

To early to tell, but in nature elimination is not the goal, only balance. I find quack grass to be a useful "weed" for many reasons. See mineral analysis of quack grass fermented plant juice on page 188 for instance.

Thank you very much!@@nigelpalmer3439

Seaweed is an excellent mulch. Don't rinse it. Listen to your olive tree! Apply 2-3 inches thick. Will deter slugs.

Both as well as for the local inhabitants. She is part of our landscape.

@nigelpalmer3439 I bought your book a couple years ago. Love it its a go to this time of yr especially. Stay well

Thank you @@LittleJordanFarm

Most of the fruits and vegetables you will test will be in the 0-30 range.

@@nigelpalmer3439 Thank you!

I am sorry but I do not understand your question?

Good questions!

@@nigelpalmer3439 thanks. Will you be addressing them in the future?

I discuss these topics and more in my programs.

Tough to comment with so little information. Where in the world are you to find fresh plants to ferment this time of year? Yes, start over.

Thank you.

I have not used Molasses.

You are welcome! and about as far away from me here in Connecticut USA as possible!

Rock dusts for clay and minerals, IMO 4 for biology. Book is available in English, German and Italian. Check out my website for details. www.nigel-palmer.com/ in the book tab.

My email address is nigel@tiosn.com if you would like to contact me.

No water.

If you mean over cook the shells, not likely.

Mix one part leaf mold liquid to 20 parts rain water.

You are welcome.

With and without air. There are many differences, too many to explain here. Would you like to zoom? Sorry but speaking English required.

Ambient temperature. Same temperature as outside where it will be used.
