I have recently discovered JDAM, Korean organic gardening; and the first thing I am going to try to implement is the JMS, microbial solution.
This is an extremely simplified way to grow your own microbes for soil health.
The most important ingredient is leaf mold. I journeyed deep into the woods to gather leaf mold from under old oak trees. I gathered from several different locations.
I also added some
compost from my garden, as well as some fresh veggie scraps of lettuce, tomato, and sweet pepper. I chose these since I had them already, and am growing these crops.
Boiled potato is used as food for the ferment, but grain could be used as well.
I next mixed the solid ingredients with enough rain water to blend.
Finally the mixture is diluted to 5 gallons with rainwater and one cup of aquarium water.
It should be ready to apply within 24 hours at 75 degree average temperature.
