- In this video, I show you how I make IMO 3 [indigenous microorganisms] using oats, rice bran, and woodchips
IMO3 is a process in Korean Natural Farming where we are making a microbe rich compost to introduce to our soil for diversity
I am always down for feed back and critique, if you see me say or do something wrong, I am always down for correction as I am just a beginner in Korean Natural Farming utilizing this practice on my vegetable farm
So far I have seen great results from a previous IMO 3 + IMO 4 application on my farm and I am noticing a great return and harvest from my leafy greens
Let's learn and grow together :)

I have my IM02 but for some reason I just found it really intimidating to start IM03. All the natural farming handbooks work in such gigantic quantities and your videos make it seem so much less intimidating. This video had actually given me some confidence to try.
failure is the best teacher. success only proves you can follow instructions.
I’m glad you are doing it in winter cause I don’t live in Hawaii .. either !!
I appreciate your clear, concise instruction without longwinded commentary that others do. I like the editing of your videos. With my adhd, I can watch you and maintain my focus. You are a great teacher and mentor. I'm subscribing.
Frfr! Same bro, a 40 min video on collection of IMO1 is absolute torture 😫. This dude was great in The Walking Dead and his knf videos are even better!
Your videos are extremely helpful. Makes it more fun!
You are awesome, I learned this back in my sustainable ag. class and just started back trying it many years later ❤!
John, way to go! I'm finally getting to making my first IMO3 so fun to see your video.
Thank you my friend for this video. It was wayyyy more clear and helpful than trumps videos or drakes. I was not clear on the materials, now I am and I highly appreciate that.
love your passion just starting my knf journey
Good explanation/demonstration!
Dear sir,
I have a question that how to make humic acid
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽🌈🙏🏼🌹
Looks great brother !
Love your channel bro! Keep up the solid content!
I appreciate the support!
Awesome Content, you make it so simple to understand
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the video, I had no idea
Merci pour le partage
Thanks for sharing this quality video. I am just starting to get into IMO and not sure how far I am going to go with it. I want to definitely be able to spray my plants with it. I want to do a garden with Masanobu Fukuoka's technique and throw a whole bunch of seeds, and spray with imo and get some superfoods!
Do you mix imo3 to make a spray or could i just use imo2 and water? What do you recommend?
The color on that ohn 😍
I’m still at a loss for what the ultimate purpose of IMO is. I’ve watched Chris Trump’s entire series.
I think your method looks simpler thanks for sharing
thanks
7:10 your facial expression is exactly how I felt when I made my IMO3
LOL it was such a beautiful thing to witness :)
Awesome video John! I was in Chris' class last September too and am just starting my first IMO 3 pile now after multiple IMO 2 collection attempts. Gonna try mixing 4 collections into my IMO 3. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you!
Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Do you have a video where you make IMO 2?
Wow you “kinda” made IMO3 🤣
Thanks for the video it was “Kinda” helpful.
Great video, my IMO 3 pile is rolling right now, and I am curious about how you store it?
I saw that in India they store it in bags made of natural fibers, but I felt like the IMO would want to just take over that carbon source. What are your thoughts on that?
where do you find large amounts of rice bran?
thankyou for the video i have my imo2 ready. what may i ask is the substrate they taught you to use originally when you took nkf classes. also for me and others who see this can you mention other grains and substrates can i use rye do i have to cook b4 like in imo1 or keep raw? also. do you have to use a bran of some kind like a whole and a crushed food or can i just use like oats per say and just add sticks and leaves. or do i need some type of brand. if you could make a vid of you explaining all the different substrates you can use together. so people can have options on what they have availabile. and i am guessing you can use imo 3 in a compost tea but could you show how you would add this to the garden would you break up the clumps or keep them whole. when top dressing Thankyou again peace and blessings
what a nice questions but no answer :(
If I collected the sample from a tropical environment, does it matter if the temperature outside is over 120? Or dod I make the batch indoors?
A bit like mixing cement, but on an organic level ❤
hey bro,can i ask u...hoq make humid acid?do you make video how make humid acid?
How do you store imo3 for future use?
Would it be OK to use softwood shavings instead of woodchips?
Damn idk about my imo 2 it always go liquidy any ideas guys? I add more sugar and it just go all moist, even if it's colonized
what do u think the temp was outside when you did this?
Hi wat type molasses we can use for fermentation surgarcane black strap molasses are unsulphur black strap molasses reply me pls
Where can I preserve imo2 & imo3 for long period
What did you use for humic acid.. store bought?
I was given some humic acid when I attended a natural farming course, I think it was from a local source.. I'm not too sure who exactly it came from but I also have store bought humic acid
Before watching this video making IMO3 seemed a bit intimidating, but your video answered a lot of questions. I see you use oats, rice bran, and wood chips. I would like to implement KNF on our farm in Costa Rica, but finding oats and rice bran might be difficult. What other materials could I use? Thanks for your help!
potatoes, maybe sugar cane?
Dog food can be used
Being new to your channel absolutely ignorant about the way you garden or cultivate de soil. It would be really useful if could please give a 15-20 seconds explanation of what is IMO3, plant matter etc. Please 🙏🏼
I'm impressed with the white fungal growth! Why does it go over 120 degrees (if you don't turn it)? The MO can't self-regulate?
The bacteria will send it over 120 and it can damage the fungi.
i am from australia, a pretty dry climate, after about 2-3 days the pile seems to dry out, even when well covered.
i break a few lumps open and the inside of the lumps is moist but no mycelium.
normally when i notice the pile drys i carefully with a spray bottle add some more moisture, is this un nessacary ? i am starting to think, when the only moisture left is inside of the lumps, the mycelium spreads inside of the lumps, going after the moisture ?
when i make imo 3, i get mycelium on the outside of the lumps, but not the inside, do you have any input on this ? is it because i add extra moisture ? does the mycelium go in search of the water inside of the lumps that are still moist when the outside is dry ?
do i keep doing what im doing, but let them dry out longer ? i can get a good amount of mycelium covering the entire outside of the lump, it just does not move inside very well.
i have played around with different materials i can access locally for cheap, so far oats have performed the best, are oats fine to use as a media for imo 3 ? do you have a few different reccomendations on what media could be used, so i could possibly find the cheapest local alternative for me ? thank you very much,
Why do use brown rice vinegar?
how do you use it.?
DID the Oats Sprout On You During The Process If So Does This Hurt The Process I Used Rye Instead Of Oats I Did Ise Rye Oats Rye Flour Rye Seed Should I Have Not Of Used Rye Seed Please Let Me know They Sprouted I Am 36 Hrs Into My Imo3 Thankyou Peace&Blessings.
what were the solid ingredients ???
he looks like Glenn :)
Where do you get sea water? (If you don’t live near the actual sea.)
same here, wondering of sea salt in water works
Like your channel. Could you add bio char to it when you're making it?
Definitely include biochar, great question.
Can you explain what is the meaning of
1:500
1:1000
1:30
Was it volume or mass?
Sorry just my head hanging about the details.
The amount of input(fpj,o.h.n, fish, vinegar..etc) to water.
Yes so the ratios are just a dilution of how much of each natural farming input I use per gallon of water. You don't use a lot of each one to whatever it may be that you are doing
If you were to split the gallon into 500 parts, one part of that is 1:500 same with 1000 or 25 or 2... 1:2 so three parts, one parts to two or five hundredths
Hey John, were you in the september class? i plan on going up again this september and doing the soilsmith thing if i can. I am trying to bring a couple people with me if possible.
Hey Toby! Yep I was there!! I was planning on returning but I'm not sure what my schedule is looking like right now, but I sure hope so!
@@johnknf Cool, hopefully I will make it again. I just finished an imo 3 pile and have to bag it up for storage. As soon as the wind dies down I am going fishing and gonna start some FAA.
@@tobymaples7646 awesome brother! Keep me posted! I gotta get a batch of FAA started as well!
@@johnknf i am gonna go catch some invasive carp to make some FAA with. They get upwards of fifty pounds here, but on average i catch them around 10-15 lbs so i should only need a few lol
did you make your own humic acid?
I did not make my own humic acid. When I took a natural farming class, my teacher had some humic acid he gave to us
Can I use granular humic acid
what if the temp goes above 120, what then?
Sea water??? Like salt water
My IMO3 is supper hot I live in a tropic environment and its day 5 and its 130 f I turn it two to three times a day
how to make humic acid
do you prefer jadam or knf?
I integrate both practices on my farm. I don't really have a preference on either or, I just have to learn and understand a little bit more on both practices this year since it is the first season I am utilizing both practices. I will use mostly KNF to feed my plants with the inputs and work on IMO4, while in JADAM, I will be using the JWA+JHS as my emergency pest control if I come into any problems this season and JMS will be primarily for my brassica crops as I have seen great results using JMS on my red cabbages :)
@@johnknf I'm in the same boat this year to next year I'm going all in with jadam, can't believe it's been around for so long and the world isn't using this yet
I don't have OHN, I cannot buy or get humic acid where I live.
So, it is not something I can do?
I have IMO2.
If you have some fresh compost, just run some water through the compost gently. If you collect that liquid you'll have humic acid.
No video shows how to apply using imo3. Could you show us how to apply with imo3
absolutely. I am working on an IMO 1-4 video series at the moment and hope to have it out by the end of this month. I will use IMO3 in a Liquid IMO tea to soil drench my garden and store the rest, and then I will take the imo3 into imo4 to apply to my garden. I hope to have it out soon to show you guys
What if i dont live by the sea
Sea 90.
Add Sea salt to water for mineral content. You can find ratio online x Tbs. To gallon
What a IMO3?
It would be very kind of you if you could translate it into Spanish, many people would like to learn, thank you very much
Isnt happy with the foodstore
OHN ?
How long can you store IMO 3?
