  I bought the book in Italian published by AM Terranuova. It is a practical book full of very detailed recipes. I come from a much wilder philosophy of agriculture, that is, I am inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka but I am willing to compromise and I would like to know the section regarding soil microorganisms well and use it. I admit that I did not have the patience to read the whole book. I performed IMO1 and then the "white mold" as per your recipe (now I do not remember the procedure and the book is in my father's garden) I put it in a composter containing manure composed of two years of meadow grass dried a little hay straw forest leaves dried vegetable scraps (i.e. IMO2). Now, after having turned it 3 times and two months of time, it seems almost all transformed into a slightly coarse but nice dark soil and an almost neutral scent I would like to know if I can add some wood chips from branches even if they are not fresh and that could also come from the trunk of the plant given that it is a company that makes wood chips or how I could use wood chips in Korean agriculture. thanks

• 
  @nigelpalmer3439Ай бұрын

  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.

  Hi! I'm trying to do almost the same as you and with similar space. For clarification, you cut the grass to the bare minimum (do I really have to cut it?). You put minerals right on top after soil testing. You put the lots of hay on top. Then, you water or rainwater and add IMO biology to it. You leave it through the winter for 6-9 months and remove the hay to plant potatoes. My questions are do I have to cut the grass under beforehand? Do you put the IMO 4 directly on top of the hay and how much IMO did you use in a week for that space? Should I start in August? Thank you so much! ❤

• 
  @nigelpalmer34392 ай бұрын

  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.

  Hello Nigel! I am writing to ask until when, before harvesting a vegetable or fruit, can foliar sprays or fertigation be applied? The question is to avoid ingesting nitrates or substances that are not digestible for us humans. I would also like to ask if the answer to the previous question also applies to dry pelleted manure dissolved in water with the right dilutions given as a foliar spray or in fertigation.

• 
  @nigelpalmer34392 ай бұрын

  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.

  Am binge watching your videos ; omg i never expected to see someone who gets that close to the soil coming into the public eye! I'm always crouching or kneeling, at work or on my allotment - if i ever have to write a book it'll have to be titled "Oh thére you are!" as clients and allotmenteurs say when they find me, dressed in greens n browns, in the greenery. I find the close contact with the soil a must; get your hands (and feet) dirty, smell the soil and plants, hear the busy-ness among the plants and in the air, observe all the critters you come across and move them to a safe space if you can't avoid disturbing their habitat. Just a wónderful "place" to be. As i have to content myself with an allotment as my only growing space, i'm a bit restricted in what i can allow to grow and how tall. So all fluffy-seeded or otherwise overly keen plants have to come out and are put on the paths. As it happens, the neighbouring plotters provide me with this path material by being generous with their "invasive ones" 😄. Lots of self-seeding going on, on my "foraging allotment", including the deep-rooted ones, to encourage soil life to go deeper via their rhizophagy cycle. Scorzonera, melilot, burdock, fennel, chicory. Looking forward to reading your book! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚
