I am dabbing with a number of Korean Natural Farming methods. I have had a successful IMO 1 collection and was wondering... why not use the IMO1 for leaf mold soil/ potato in JMS. It has the microbes and has the complex carbs from the rice. Maybe add a bit of potato for a boost. Comments are welcome. I will keep you posted on the results.
You probably could. Leaf mold is easier to get though, and the most useful part of IMO 1 is becoming IMO 2 3 and 4. 2 is stable, 3 and 4 are integrated with local soil & biology. Culturing IMO 1 in a liquid with starch in it doesn't have any of these benefits.

Did you try it out? If so, what was the result?
