Making IMO 1 or Capturing Indigenous Microorganisms In Your Backyard

Local biology may be harnessed to stimulate the soil, to fill it with the life that abounds locally. One way to capture this valuable resource is in a box filled with cooked rice. This is referred to as IMO 1 in Korean Natural Farming, Indigenous Microorganism number one. Preparing, setting and checking the trap are demonstrated and a final box of IMO 1is presented.

For mineral and biology amendment recipes that you can make at home for free or low cost that close the waste gaps check out my book "The Regenerative Grower's Guide to Garden Amendments" available from Chelsea Green Publishers.
