This is amazing, following so that i can try to understand benes for hydro, having tough time with resources but making headway
I think when Cho created this method he did so with the intention in mind of what most Korean farmers had on hand readily at the time...it is! And I didn't want to derail your thread, it was just because I believe the graphic is accurate and you don't hehe
You know, I used to be all enthusiastic about this method, as it seemed so unintrusive.
Taking small handsful of that forest soil, as mindfully as it can be done, is more intrusive than that...
But I have also heard, from different sides, that the thing with the rice as medium is to be taken with a grain of salt?
A certain kind of microbes will attach to that starchy rice, maybe a different set than what you may need or want in your soils, or what would be representative of that forest soil?
What's your take on that?
I'm sorry I have no sources on this, it just keeps cropping up
