Jadam organic Farming & Gardening : The Way to Ultra-Low-Cost Agriculture, Make All-Natural Fertilizer, Pesticide and Microorganism Inputs Yourself

What is visible (plant) represents what is invisible (root)
We all want high yield. For a plant to produce an abundance of fruits, its
nodes should be quite short with new shoots coming out continuously. That
provides a large number of flower buds and fruits. This difference can pro-
duce more than a ten-fold difference in yield in the same type of crop. The
root should extend wide and deep for the plant to produce new shoots for
fruiting. In one word, high yield is the total area of the root that comes in
contact with plant food (fertilizer). Many people think that simply applying
abundant base fertilizer (fertilizer that you put in before planting) and addi-
tional fertilizer (fertilizer you apply after plants start growing) will produce
more shoots. That is wrong. It’s like having only prepared a 2-meter (6.6 ft)
deep foundation and trying to raise a 10-storey building! Farming begins with
simple principles. What is visible (building) represents what is invisible (foun-
dation). Plants are smart; they look at where they are growing and grow only
to the extent that is possible.

Soil Management

3. Make your soil like leaf mold
Find the secret to soil management in nature. Look at the soil formed from
leaf mold in the adjacent mountains, ields and forests. It has been there for
thousands of years. ese places close to your ield have the environment most
closely resembling your ield. JADAM believes leaf mold is the ideal soil. Or-
ganic farming is all about inding answers from nature. Below are the three
tenets of soil management in the JADAM organic farming: 
•
Microorganism composition of my ield should be identical to that of the
leaf mold in the mountains
•
Organic matter in my ield should be abundant like the leaf mold in the
mountains
•
Minerals in my ield should be diverse like the leaf mold in the mountains
Soil on left is full of contaminants trapped in compacted soil layer. JADAM organic farming
changes that soil into the soil on right; soil from the mountains. Just do as nature does; that is
the answer

JADAM Organic Farming 
Farming will be always difficult if soil compaction and chemical contami-
nation are not dealt with. The only solution to soil contamination is microor-
ganisms. Just like microorganisms purifying contaminated water, our
home-cultured indigenous microorganisms will be put into the soil to dis-
solve contaminants and turn them into plant nutrients. When soil contami-
nation is serious, one-time application of microorganisms is not enough.
JADAM recommends applying microorganisms to fields regularly (3-4 times
a month) throughout the year by mixing them into irrigation water. See the
results for yourself.
