Nature (natural farming) vs. man

Methodology	Man’s way	Nature (Natural Farming)
Land preparation	Ploughing – hard work, breaks up the natural structure of the soil, kill beneficial earthworms and other microorganisms in the soil that are free cultivators.	No ploughing or tilling – plant the right kind of plants and crops to work together to till the soil using their roots, naturally, and to feed the microorganisms and earthworms that will do the work for us.
Fencing	Expensive metal or concrete fences.	Live fencing using the right kind of plants that will not only be valueable bio-mass, woord, soil stabilization, soil erosion control, wind breakers, timbers, and also natural feeds for all.
Weeding or burning organic matter.	Herbicides or complete weeding. Farmers are worried that the weeds will compete with the crops they are growing. The herbicides will not only kill the “weeds” they want, but it will also kill the microorganisms in the soil. Burning the dead leaves or other organic matter also kills off beneficial organismisms and waste those organic matter that is a free natural resource for the farmer.	Weeds help build soil fertility and balance the biological community in the soil, which helps the crops grow better. It is more strategic to choose which cover crops (previously known as “weeds”) to grow alongside our crops to act as free mulch to preserve soil moisture, to have food for the earthworms, and to attract beneficial bugs that can help the farmer; rather than killing them all off.
Chemicals / fertilizers	Farmers are depending on expensive chemical fertilizers or feeds from major corporations.	Farmers can mimic nature and make their own feeds and fertilizers.

What is the difference between organic farming and natural farming?

FARMING SYSTEMS
	CONVENTIONAL	ORGANIC	NATURAL
Description	This system uses the commercially produced fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, feeds, antibiotics, etc.	This system uses organically produced fertilizers as the means of fertilizing the plants. Pesticides and fungicides are also applied when needed and in controlled amounts.	This system brings the soil and the environment back to its original form where nature works for the production of its needs.
Profitability	On Horticulture, the first few years profit is high. But with the continued use of chemical inputs such as commercial fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides, the soil’s nutrients become degraded so that over time its profit goes down too. For livestock, profit is very slim due high capitalization.	Profit can be high but can be eaten up by the high amount of inputs.	For Horticulture, the profit is high and will increase yearly. For livestock, profit is also high due to low labor requirement and low consumption of feeds.
Productivity	On Horticulture the first few years, the production is high but as soil becomes degraded, production goes down as well. For livestock, production is good, but its life’s span is short and the food source is not safe for human consumption.	Low and slow.	Production is high and increases yearly.
Sustainability	For Horticulture, it destroys the soil and the environment. For livestock, it is very slim and fragile.	Can’t sustain for the next generation.	Can be beneficial for the many generations to come.
Use of pesticides and chemicals	Encouraged	Discouraged but allowed.	None what-so-ever! Chemical fertilizers isn’t directly harmful to our health, but because they cause the plants to grow quickly, the plants have not absorbed all the necessary nutrients, making it an “empty” product. Pesticides kill pests, but it also kill necessary microorganisms on plants and in your body.

So where to begin?

Concoctions, or inputs, are the first step to making sure our crops receive the nutrients they need:

LAB - Lactic Acid Bacteria

The germicide you need that promotes the growth of fruit trees and leafy greens, boosts gut health and is a part of the no-smell livestock system.

LAB refers to a large group of bacteria that produce lactic acid as a by-product of their digestive system. LAB are probiotic bacteria that are beneficial for many types of life. Among other things, applying LAB cultures to your soils can help to accelerate organic matter decomposition, enhancing the release of plant nutrients for absorption.

OHN - Oriental Herbal Nutrient

Create an immune system boosting tincture to help your plants and animals combat disease.

OHN is a liquid root-drench that has highly anti-pathogenic quality. It works to prevent disease-causing fungi and helps to improve the overall vitality of your plant.

IMO - Indigenous Microorganisms

The most important input in all of Natural Farming. Get the most fertile land possible with indigenous microorganisms.

The various stages of IMO 1-5 represent different stages of collecting, storing, and then propagating cultures of bacteria and fungi to introduce into your substrate and/or soil.

• IMO 1 – Collecting beneficial microbes out in the field.
• IMO 2 – Preparing the microbes for storage.
• IMO 3 – Inoculating a suitable (carbon-based) carrier.
• IMO 4 – Preparing a usable and active substrate – usually indigenous soil.
• IMO 5 – Incorporating nitrogen-rich fertilizer material, a suitable final compost mix.

FPJ - Fermented Plant Juice

This enzyme rich creation gives your animals and plants the much-needed energy burst to thrive.

The final ferment will have all the good stuff present: nutrients, hormones, proteins, aminos, and enzymes

FFJ - Fermented Fruit Juice

Promote ripening in your crops with fermented ripe fruit that can also be used for livestock.

FAA - Fish Amino Acid

Fish Amino Acid is one of the best plant fertilizer possible and naturally repels insects

It is an amazing food source for fungi especially, helping to boost fungal growth. The amino acids found in FAA (as well as performing their own functions) also contain forms of nutritional elements for the plant, like nitrogen.

WCA - Water Soluble Calcium

The calcium dose your plants and livestock need to prevent cracking, prolong storage life of crops and increases the ability for plants and animals to absorb vital nutrients.

WCAP - Water Soluble Calcium Phosphate

The highly plant available phosphorous dose needed to help your plants transition from vegetative growth to fruit production. WCAP can also help regulate plant metabolism.
