To make JADAM Microbial Solution (JMS) I put 4 gallons of tap water in a 5 gallon bucket. I waited 2.5 days for the chlorine to dissipate. I added compost, boiled potato, yeast, and molasses. I waited 2 days, and there was foam on top. As I understand it, that means the solution is ready to use.
But here is the problem: I am supposed to dilute the solution 10 to 1, or even 20 to 1. But all I have is tap water. I have nothing to hold 40 to 80 gallons of tap water to wait for the chlorine to dissipate. Not knowing what else to do, I diluted the JMS with straight up tap water. I might have killed all the microbes, but oh well.
What should I have done? Everybody seems to say not to use the undiluted JMS. But I wonder, if the JMS was disbursed over the soil, not poured on the plants directly, or even poured very near the plants, would it still be dangerous.
Maybe I should give up on the idea.
