Thanks. Fits my general "mantra" in life. Keep it simple stupid. What did she say specifically that turned you off molasses in feedings?

overfeeding microbes can be bad...
not just her's either.. read it in other books as well

Well, if I were using it often I would probably slacken off, but as little as it gets fed, not too concerned with it. Thanks for that info though

i never had a problem with it, when i use to use it... used it in the last couple weeks of flower...
but after readin about the soil foil web made more sense not to use it...
dont think using diluted molasses once a month would hurt it tho...

Minus the generalization of an entire country. I don't care if OP is from the United States, it's still unnecessary and not relevant.


Most of the info I've saved or bookmarked has already been posted but here is a few links and IPM attachment from BAS.

https://confessionsfromthesoil.wordpress.com/tag/korean-natural-farming/ - Another KNF resource but has some nice pictures for more visual learners

Awesome files @NaturalFarmer & @bizfactory nice links. The Op has since been booted off here multiple times, though no doubt if he has another email address he'll sign up again under another name and start running his mouth. I'll know as soon as I see someone losing their shit because no one is paying attention to him.

Kinda Old School, but I'm surprised that no one mentioned Robert Rodale (Rodale institute, Organic Gardening and Farming magazine, etc), or, Ruth Stout, the mulch queen.

As I get older and more broken down, I'm tending more and more to Ruth's viewpoints (Mulch, mulch and then, more mulch). Check out any of her books.
