ere will be minimum nutrient loss. It is easy and simple. Best of all, it works.
e indigenous microorganisms in the leaf mold will actively break down the
ingredient and turn it into an excellent liquid fertilizer. But there is one prob-
lem: the smell. We have been told constantly by the experts, the scientists and
their books that if things are going good there will be a good smell. Smell has
become the criterion for judging what is going well or wrong. What happens
after farmers follow the JADAM method? ey try it out and soon detect an
obnoxious odor. ey are worried. “Something has gone horribly wrong!”
Relax. It is only natural that leaf mold + water method smells. If it is ani-
mal-matter containing high nitrogen, the smell will be awful; wild grass and
plants are less-offensive. If you wish, you can add phyllite powder or charcoal
powder to prevent the fumes from permeating. But then I have to ask: why is
bad smell a problem? Since when did we accept a sweet smell as the criterion

cestors farmed with these scents for the past few thousand years. Smell was not
