So... I just heard a couple of days ago about the JADAM method...

Since then I watched 10 YouTube lectures on JADAM and read 107 pages from the 341-page JADAM Organic Farming.

I find this method fascinating, and was wondering if anyone here gave it a try and got some results?

I am a little concern about the use of salts (or seawater) in JSM - so hoping someone already tried this and have some results to share...

I should add that I’m in a dry, hot, moderate climate, altitude of 1,200m/4,000ft, alkaline soil, and on an island (Tenerife) - so getting seawater is soooooo easy...

Thank you in advance.

I made the JADAM sulfur.  I have a life time supply now.  5 gallons mixed water to JADAM at 100:1. It did the job for my Asian Pears that were getting attacked by Cedar Quince Rust.

If you never heard about JADAM, here is an introduction from the developer of JADAM:



If you do have any experience with JADAM - I’d LOVE to hear from you... about your own experience.

JADAM is not natural farming. It's hydroponic based organic farming and pests are inevitable. It's a good system if you just want recipes. It can be cheap if you have lots of cheap water and cheap buckets, barrels, pipes, pumps etc.

Personally I prefer Natural Farming. It's cheaper and a lot less work. And the results and incomparably better. If you want more info ask me why.

The JADAM method uses sea salt.  SEA-90 which is highly recommended in the soil forum by Dr. Redhawk, is very low in sodium.  It has like 95 minerals in it and although it does look like salt it has very little "Salt".
