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

Make them in the same environment as the crops.
We make liquid fertilizer
to provide nutrients to our crops and these nutrients are produced by mi-
croorganisms. If you make liquid fertilizers in the same environment as the
crops, then the microorganisms that become most active in that environment
will multiply. Then you have crop-tailored fertilizer. Remember that it is the
microorganisms that produce nutrients for the crops. They are the chef. If
you change the chef, the taste, quality and nutrients of your dish will change.
Eat a strange new food and you may even get sick. Consequently, do not

hastily attempt to change the chef for your crops. Our chefs are extremely
sensitive to temperature. Changes in temperature will cause changes in mi-
croorganisms. Changes in microorganisms will cause changes in nutrients.
Making of both microorganism solution and liquid fertilizer should be done
in ambient temperature that is same as the crops’. Common sense has no less
power than advanced science. 
Liquid fertilizer machine is a useless piece of metal; all it does is cause inan-
cial burden and headaches. Furthermore, I ind no reason to have two separate
machines for microorganism culture and for liquid fertilizer. People use ma-
chine because they think it can make liquid fertilizer in a short period of time.
After all, it seems to produce fertilizer in as few as two days when ifteen are
otherwise the norm. ere is a trick here that you have to be cautious about –
did the machine really break down the ingredients that fast? Did you really
make a complete liquid fertilizer? Unfortunately, the answer is no. What does it
mean to say that the liquid fertilizer is complete? It means that the ingredients
that were put in (e.g. wild grass, fruits, leaves, etc.) have turned into liquid and
have disappeared – except for some substances like lignin which are not easily
broken down by microorganisms. At least 70 percent of what was put in should
no longer be visible. However, look at the end-product of these liquid fertilizer
machines. You open one after the speciied period and you have this wonderful
chocolate-colored liquid with sweet aroma. You say to yourself “Mmmm. What
a great smell! is must be an awesome fertilizer!” Well, is it? 
e best way to judge whether the liquid fertilizer is a success or not is to
look at what has happened to the main ingredient. Has it decreased in volume?
Only when it has decreased in size does it mean that it has been broken down.
Observe closely. e ingredient would have bloated in water and only become
larger. Most of the ingredients put into these machines are not broken down
completely. at chocolate-colored sweet liquid is just molasses-mixed water
with a hint of the main ingredient. e result is just a big joke, and an expen-

sive one at that! You bought 400-500 dollars’ worth of ingredients. e mo-
lasses, wood vinegar, microorganism solution all cost you at least 700 dollars.
is method of farming does not make farmers rich; it only makes them poorer. 
But for some reason the government continues to provide subsidies to
farms for the purchase of these machines. Machine manufacturers have
gained influence and now they make sure that the purchase of their machines
becomes an essential part of the government policy. Meanwhile, farmer-
friendly, low-cost, easy and effective methods of farming are completely ig-
nored. Sadly, all over the nation, farms have bought and installed these
counter-productive microorganism machines and liquid fertilizer machines.
Yet, many take great pride in such awesome achievements in organic farming,
where the electricity bill alone will cost a few thousand dollars a month and
cannot be sustained without government subsidies.
