'Soil Food Web community meets KNF - Korean Natural Farming'

38:22 Jan 2, 2022 0 0

'There seems to be a tension between Living Soil / Soil Food Web community and those who are exploring KNF (Korean Natural Farming) techniques.  For the living soil community, aerobic is good and anaerobic is bad. They seem to think that KNF is anaerobic, and therefore bad.   KNF is not anaerobic. KNF fermentation techniques do involve O2 exchange at the surface of the ferment.   KNF is about introducing indigenous microbes - those microbes that are already present in nature in a particular area of land or part of the world. The goal is to increase the soil organism diversity of both of both bacteria and fungi.  With any technique, in the words of the immortal Scott Skamnes (scottolagranola), the microscope don\'t lie. You can mess up a compost tea as easily as you can mess up a KNF brew. But if you follow either path, look under the microscope, and see a bunch of good microbes, well.....  I asked Wendy Kornberg, Founder & CEO, Sunnabis (a cannabis farm and brand in Humboldt) if there is tension between the Soil Food Web and the KNF communities and, if so, where the misunderstanding comes into play and if she can help make peace between the two communities.  Wendy studied KNF with Chris Trump and is currently teaching a 6 week KNF seminar in Humboldt.'
