the idea behind jadam is to help farmers get away from the commodification of fertilizers
the proof is in the agricultural success reflected in profits and costs invested.
in my research listening to several regenerative agriculture podcasts and reading a lot of peer involved feeds, where many scientists and data savvy people chime in... nature is never just anaerobic or aerobic. these phases changes thru out the seasons, like wet and dry. there are times soil is competely water logged in the rain, anaerobic. and other times the soil more dry during the summer or less rainy months/ aerobic. so again everything has their purpose.
jadam encourages soil biologic diversity, thru low cost means. which is why gathering leaf mold is encouraged. that biology is comprised of diverse decomposers, which help make nutrients available and in an ideal circumstance help the diversity so less imbalances arise from any one less favorable microbe taking over.
one of the main inputs of jadam is microbial solution, where you would brew/culture anaerobically leafmold with the soil you are using and even bits of the type of crop you are growing, to focus the diversity in favor of your growing media and crop... feeding it merely sea salt and starch such as cooked potatoes...
if you want to use compost and or compost tea, that's fine. granted its a translation from korean, so its easy to miss certain nuances. but the idea is to recommend something practical, like you don't need to make compost or buy expensive brewers.
i've done both, used air brewed compost teas, and brewed anaerobic compost teas. in my experience I would favor the Jadam solutions, due to accessability, and from the success its had on my cash crops as well as my own food garden.
following this experience and research, i've come to favor compost extracts which is just mixing quality and compost and water. you can use a brewer or do it by hand, aka very accessible... and if i do make a tea in contrast to compost extract, i would use very little food.
what i'm saying is everyone can have as diverse a toolkit as they like, but its important to focus on whats practical and available to you.
now I choose both, jadam and soilfoodweb style compost extracts. I don't think I need more than that, besides good organic matter and mulch
