How to make OHN

1. After the rice harvest, cover
the rice stump with a filled

1. Go to the hills, forests, valley
1. Prepare Angelica Acutiloba,
cinnamon bark, licorice, garlic and
ginger to this ratio: 2:1:1:1:1. The
garlic and the ginger are
supplementary ingredients.

2. The three main ingredients

1. Fill a wooden lunchbox (preferably made
from Japanese cedar) with hard steamed rice…
3. Bury the lunchbox in the local bamboo

three main ingredients in three
separate jars and fill up to the 2/3
level with rice wine (or beer) so that
they are completely soaked

Use IMOs continuously field

After practising Korean Natural Farming techniques for 2-3 years you can get lazy with regard to
collecting and making IMOs. This laziness begins with the premature assessment that the fields
have improved to the point where the effort is no longer necessary. From there it is a short step
to the decision that a little bit of rice wine or lactic acid bacteria will suffice. However, this is far from true.

The MOST important thing in the soil is the primitive diversity and power of indigenous
microorganisms. Farmers who fail to use IMOs properly cannot expect to see continued results. Relying
on few substances such as rice wine, despite its being natural, can contribute to disturbing the balance.

Diversity is essential

Modern science was faced with a dilemma as it found out more and more about microorganisms. At first
microorganisms were classified into two categories; the good and the bad. Scientists tried to selectively
use what they considered the beneficial ones. Many of the bacteria products you see on the market today
are the results of such efforts. However further research has revealed that it is very difficult to classify
microorganisms as either good or bad. Additionally, it is extremely difficult to achieve sustained,
long term, safe effects using selective microorganisms.

So what do we do? We collect leaf mould and soil from all four faces of the mountain, from the
summit, the valley and the trench. We then mix it and culture it in rice bran.

ANAEROBIC
FERMENTATION
Feed the Effective Microorganisms

• Air – Oxygen is not needed, must be compacted and

contained or wrapped
• Water- keep the moisture between 30%-40%
• Feed stock- C/N ratio 30:1, must have balanced diet
• Structure/bedding- closed pile, wrapped or in air
tight containers, pails, drums
• Allow 2 weeks for fermentation then work into soil
and wait 2 more weeks for decomposition to
complete.

Nutrient Dense Food

BEYOND Organic
• There is a movement for high quality food
• High vitamins, high minerals, high sugar
• This food has healing powers
• Brixo as an indicator
• The refractometer

The Brix Scale

A relative index of food quality

Within a given species of plant,

the crop with the higher
refractive index will have a:
•higher sugar content
•higher mineral content
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
•higher protein content
•greater specific gravity or ORAC rating is a laboratory analysis that provides an overall measure of a
food's antioxidant activity. The higher the ORAC score, the greater is the
density
food's antioxidant capacity. ORAC tests are often used to compare the
antioxidant activities of different foods (fruits, vegetables, juices, wines, etc.).
This adds up to sweeter taste,
Poor Average Good Excellent higher mineral density and more
nutrition as well as food with
6 8 10 12 lower nitrate and water content, Specific Minerals $$$
a lower freezing point, and better

grandfather, son-of-Mikel, started with draft horses and later my grandfather
converted a Ford car into a tractor. They eventually moved to the city and my
dad went on to college and practiced engineering. I grew up in the city.
