This is one of the ways we innoculate our garden beds and fruit trees around the farm with Indigenous Microorganisms from the forest, also known as IMO (Indigenous Micro Organisms) in Korean Natural Farming.
We apply this brew on new garden beds every few weeks for the first month or two. Once our beds are well established we apply a few times per year.
Our plants love it. Indigenous Microorganisms are essential in the nutrient uptake of plants and can make a huge difference even in nutrient-deficient soils.
There are many other (more involved) ways to replicate and propagate beneficial soil microbiology from the forest onto your garden, but if you want a quick and easy way, this recipe will definitely improve your soil biology.

Here are a few things to consider before you book your stay with us:
We are located in a rugged area, surrounded by rainforest and by the sea. Our farm is not ideal for very young children. If you wish to come with young children, they must be supervised by an adult at all times.
If you have any dietary restrictions, food allergies, or special diets please let us know below to make sure we can accommodate your needs.
We are located on Isla Solarte, on this island, there are no stores, bars, restaurants, or shops. If you need anything special during your stay be sure to bring it with you.
We recommend you bring: a headlight, bug repellent, and a good book in case of rain :-)
Some of the trails can get muddy during rainy days, we recommend you bring hiking shoes or boots if you want to walk on the trails and around the farm.
If you would like to enjoy the night scene, keep in mind we may not be a good fit due to our secluded location. Most bars and restaurants are located on the main island.
