KNF is Korean Natural Farming Documentary here is a short clip for educational purposes from the full documentary "In Search of Balance" featuring Ginger John, Connor, Drake
My family have been farming all their lives, i have only 2 years experience but have recently practiced KNF past year and a half im already growing bigger better plants then all of them. KNF is the future!!!
most likely it was the nutrients in your soil you bought, in gardening its always first up then down then slowly up again :-) here we call it beginners luck.
This was a very interesting video. It always amazes me that human kind is fighting so hard against nature, when really everything we need is right there. KNF has got it right, we should all be gardening/farming this way. GREAT VIDEO, thanks so much for the info!
To be fair, it's roughly as toxic than epsom salts which people take internally as a laxative. But that said I hate the stuff, it smells gross and I sure wouldn't want to drink a glass, for one it would give you diarrhea. It has it's uses and doesn't deserve all the fear mongering it gets.
@@bryanhumphreys940 I'll believe it once I see proof of people guzzling it down without health problems. Until that day happens I'll just conclude that epson salt is safer.
@@bryanhumphreys940do your researching before you comment on the subject! Stop spreading stupidity. The cancer studies that could not find the link between cancer and glyphosate is the one that was payed off by the devil himself ( Monsanto)....
@@mydear6788 Cancer risk =/= toxicity. It's a different mechanism. I wouldn't be surprised to find out glyphosphate is carcinogenic. The point I was trying to raise is that biochemistry is complex. People that compare Monsanto to the devil aren't adding anything useful to the conversation. Biology, nature, chemistry, all of it are far more complex than a simple aversion to amoral corporate entities.
It cant. You need soil to host microbes and give them food. Those microbes are soils microbes, they are not used to lives in water, they will not trive and maybe die without soil.
TH-cam is acting like a smart microbe, dishing this info to people who are wanting it. I’m going to IMO the shit out o the land I’m looking after. That depth test was incredible
Hi! I come to see your videos while searching for Ingam's classes. I have also heard about Master cho's practices here and ther but never got chance to listen to his classes from him. I tried to watch the videos on your playlist but it's hard to understand the translators english, do you have any videos with subtitles? Also I should ask this, after learning from KNF and Elaine's lessons what is best and interesting things u learned from both?
I have EM first time. (Have to look up IMO) and want to know how warm the soil needs to be to use it. Please advise where to find this info? Last frost in zone 8 is May.
No more important work in the world than what these people are doing - how we grow our food has an incredible effect on the our health and the health of the planet
My channel is dedicated to the disaster of no till chemical farming that lives 50 feet from my house. It cost me years of my life as doctors have no clue what to do with chemical exposure in my country. It was three other countries that saved my life telling me the truth and what I could do. I continue to grow on my small farm as my neighbor continues to threaten to destroy it. I seek for new land to grow. But the three years I’ve been living soil growing the results are amazing. Till the spray comes. Awesome video it sent four years old and we have not moved forward like the rest of the world
Ginger John used to utilize free labor from people on welfare. His shacks were torn down by the state after his practices were revealed. I'm glad to see he's a natural farmer now but he has shady origins. Married into the Dillingham family which was one of 5 missionary families who took over Hawaii. I'd like to see what he is giving back to the native Hawaiian people whose land he is making so much money off of.
The video had good Info, but I saw two problems I struggle with. Roundup may cause cancer. My issue with that is why aren’t farmers, the people that use it more, actually suing or dying? Why is it I see people from the city the one in lawsuits? The second issue is roots. Maybe some plants don’t have deep roots because of chemical nutrients added to the top. But when farmers add manure it’s also on the top of when they add liquid manure it’s on the top. The other thing is corn would flat out die if they didn’t develop deep roots in dry states where they may go a long time without water. If they didn’t develop deep roots they should die because of a lack of water in some places. Maybe someone here can explain why farmers using roundup don’t die or sue roundup like people living in a city. Hawaii is a nice state. There’s no pivots there haha. While their farming practice may work there it’d be nice to see them apply it to Nevada or Utah actual dry states and see if it still works with less water. Sometimes when you don’t have water the ground hardens so much you can’t simply stick a probe in the ground like they did in the video. Maybe the documentary does explore using the method around the world and not just wet areas.
11:34 if you can't understand what he's saying from the scientific aspect just watch Avatar a couple times... maybe you'll then understand the spiritual aspect, which is what he is talking about...the seemingly metaphysical with backup from the science. That which we don't yet understand nearly resembles magic.
Stop using chemicals, start using these microbes. Add inches of compost each year to bring up the fertility and organic matter. Let it come back to life.
Just quit the chemicals and grow organically. I bought a farm that was chemically destroyed by old time farming likely 60 years ago. I bought it and have farmed organically for 40 years. The soil is now rich in life and is ORGANIC.
Ginger John had windowless shacks that let rain inside for his workers. Those workers were not paid and in fact gave him their welfare checks. When this was discovered his shacks were torn down. I truly hope he has actually changed.
It is baffling to me how important it is for people who are trying to reform the food system to conflate food and medicine. Yes. Eating unprocessed food is important to being healthy. But like, kale isn’t gonna save someone from stage 2 Syphillus or set a broken bone. It’s just so reductive..but I suppose one must tell oneself all kinds of shit to work for starvation Joe
Yes, their are times when babies are allergic to mother's milk. They throw up the milk everytime they drink some. Now, my theory is the mother is eating something baby is allergic to and it is in the milk. Or they are missing one of the enzymes to properly digest the milk. That was my daughter's problem. My milk was the lesser of two evils so the doctor encouraged breastfeeding. She threw up all formula.
I love the natural farming philosophy, techniques and the community, I just wonder why all these natural farmers look like they’re from the walking dead. I mean, i know they are way healthier than the average Joe but their looks are not convincing. Not hating, just truthfully confused. Maybe I’ll come to the answer when I’m a bit older and wiser to see beyond the superficial.
@@PureKNFDrake hey yeh, but it’s just my opinion though and I’m sure you’re super healthy. I have friends who are fruitarians, again super strong, lean and healthy, but they don’t look what we would conventionally consider healthy..I don’t know, it’s baffling.
Yes .. no fertilizer and pesticides.. no tractor parts .. whole nation will starve .. try Cuba .. they became 85 percent self sufficient when the US decided not to sell them pesticide, fertilizer and tractor's parts .. bs ..?
My family have been farming all their lives, i have only 2 years experience but have recently practiced KNF past year and a half im already growing bigger better plants then all of them. KNF is the future!!!
It’s funny the future is in our past.......
Would you post a link to your favorite KNF video?
most likely it was the nutrients in your soil you bought, in gardening its always first up then down then slowly up again :-) here we call it beginners luck.
This is awesome, thank you for sharing.
Excellent content! Sharing on Support Local Hawaii.
This was a very interesting video. It always amazes me that human kind is fighting so hard against nature, when really everything we need is right there. KNF has got it right, we should all be gardening/farming this way. GREAT VIDEO, thanks so much for the info!
I'm so excited to find your videos and combine this knowledge with Geoff Lawton's permaculture teachings.
"it's safe to drink a quart of it"
"I won't drink it, I'm not an idiot"

Someone made the KNF free to download in PDF format. Reading it right now. My personal home garden is about to have a really good turn out.
Where do find this
Can you share the link?
Just look up Korean Natural Farming pdf, it'll be the first link on Google
Make sure to throw some support to the guy that wrote it when you can.
Hi friend thanks sharing your good information and very nice farm
Was that Taro he said was good for babies?? That is extremely high in oxalic acid and need good processing! Nice to see people taking care of earth!
Yes! Kalo is good for babies. Its healthy and its a starch so it will help bulk them up.
Excellent video, thank you
Great video opened up my eyes
very smart process
Wow!!! Best video yet love it.
Amazing! I'm going to be trying this this year!
How would korean natural farming works in a hydroponics set up?
I am now so intrigued with KNF...
It cant. You need soil to host microbes and give them food. Those microbes are soils microbes, they are not used to lives in water, they will not trive and maybe die without soil.
Dual Root Zone hydro/aquaponics 👍
This is so cool! I'm excited to watch the documentary. Is "Drake" the Drake from the video? Thanks for posting!
Thank you for this amazing documentary, what beautiful dedication you all have to building healthy ecosystems! Where can I watch this film?!

Good information for me. Thanks
Man - it's about time that KNF received it's just reward! Well done Drake! Makes me want to re-up my Netflix account.

In search of balance is no longer available on Netflix but i found it free on Pluto tv.
Sweet. I enjoy watching it
I am trying to learning
I’m so excited ❣️🌿
Beautiful!
Would be nice to know what they're doing -- we're getting little bites of info, not much solid technique.

"In Search of Balance"
Cool🎉
The coconut tree has either low magnesium content or other issues. Treatment is required.
The short variety?
Great video thank you for the upload! 🌞👨🌾❤🤙 #feedyourzipcode #knf #notillfarming #permaculture

look up the pdf on knf
Wilayahnya kq seperti di Indonesia ya..
Drake, this looks amazing. This preview even sums up KNF in a very understandable nutshell. Good job, I'm going to check it out as soon as i can.
No more important work in the world than what these people are doing - how we grow our food has an incredible effect on the our health and the health of the planet

Thank You! The work you are doing is truly awesome, thanks for showing the way... blessings
What did Drake drink? Worm juice or IMO?

Would like to see this done on a farm in southern Arizona
Maybe you are the one? Long live the natural farmer!
Rhe best mircobes follow korean farming
Korean people are genious.
👍👍👍
Well done sister!

What kind of milk do you use can you use almond milk or does it have to be like regular whole milk
Milk from animals works better
@@PureKNFDrake what's the name of that plant 🪴that's good for the babies and is it anyway to get it to Ga,USA
Dr Max Gerson says .. Soil is our external metabolism
praise jadam.
well done brother!
I always use Red Wigglers, Alabama Jumpers, Blue Indians, European Nightcrawlers, African Nightcrawlers, and various Earthworms in my soil.
Thank You Drake
Does this also apply in planting in pots as we are living urban.
I made IMO with insect frass. It produced a rainbow of colors
You onto something IPMOlook it up they mix the rice together with insect frass and voila you stay winning, enjoy the rabbit hole
it's on amazon prime video
Respect!

Avatar sucked
What can we do on a farm where chimicals have been used to transform it into an organic farm?
Stop using chemicals, start using these microbes. Add inches of compost each year to bring up the fertility and organic matter. Let it come back to life.
Just quit the chemicals and grow organically. I bought a farm that was chemically destroyed by old time farming likely 60 years ago. I bought it and have farmed organically for 40 years. The soil is now rich in life and is ORGANIC.
Soul microbes is the answer
Notes
6:10 imo?
Back to Roots.
Drake must grow some great pot!
ginger john is a legend
:)
Surely there's something better than brown sugar even the rice
Ginger John had windowless shacks that let rain inside for his workers. Those workers were not paid and in fact gave him their welfare checks. When this was discovered his shacks were torn down. I truly hope he has actually changed.
Im korean so this isnt racist but if korean natural farming is so good why is north koreans starving
it's from Japan?
why is it called korean natural farming if its from japan. The name is misleading
jay park its most famous in hawaii. Go figure?
han kyu is korean but his sensei are japanese..adopted system then developed
@jay park It's political, as you should well understand as a Korean. It has nothing to do with the topic being discussed here.

Such insight!
No baby has milk allergies to their own mother's milk! None! That is all fallacies.

Do you even lift bro? John is a vegan. 😬💀 You really don't think i look healthy though?
@@PureKNFDrake hey yeh, but it’s just my opinion though and I’m sure you’re super healthy. I have friends who are fruitarians, again super strong, lean and healthy, but they don’t look what we would conventionally consider healthy..I don’t know, it’s baffling.
yawn..another offshoot of the bs organic movement.
Yes .. no fertilizer and pesticides.. no tractor parts .. whole nation will starve .. try Cuba .. they became 85 percent self sufficient when the US decided not to sell them pesticide, fertilizer and tractor's parts .. bs ..?
