I thanks to your amazing tutorials have made my first batch of JS & JWA and applied it twice across this weekend thus far. I noted something called anthracnose excuse spelling issues if any and we also use antique goat fertiliser our farmer landlord donated, so we noticed some leaf issues. We have been working the mycelium from local forest also doing the potato froth bacterial sprinkle and rice IMO this past year as the soil was mostly rocks and drought dehydrated. We now have all the jadam materials and supplies finally, It's taken a year amongst projects for saving enough to get irrigation and it's nearly there.

I have Norwegian ancestry, so I'm not sure what we'd smell like to each other, since I know that's "a thing". I try to be "practical", even if I'd like to be a bit more whimsical about life.

My garden sucks this year. In Oregon, and even my arugula isn't more than 6" tall and is already starting to flower. None of my lettuce or spinach are really growing. My tomato plants still aren't more than 8" tall. Only my beef steaks are that tall. The other 3 varieties are only like 3" tall. Haven't grown since I planted about 3 weeks ago. Pepper plants, okra, onions, etc aren't really growing. Only thing that might be growing is my cabbage plants. Beets aren't doing good, nor is the cucumbers, zucchini. I can't get flower seeds to germinate very well. I'm using my JADAM that I started over a year ago. Added some store bought fish fertilizer yesterday. Have some urine that I tried with the JADAM and a fish as well as chicken manure solution I started back in Feb and March. I guess my light compost I added and leaves last Fall wasn't enough. I think my potatoes are starting to grow pretty good. We didn't get hardly any peaches, plums, or pears started this year. Last year our trees were loaded and this year I have less than a dozen on a couple trees and no plums at all. Even the old apple tree that was loaded last year has some fruit on it, but only about half the tree has fruit. This year appears it might be worse than it was last year. Last year was my first year trying to JADAM stuff, but thinking I might have to go to using fertilizers. I'm sick of not getting much out of my garden and spending so much time watering, weeding, etc. :( Our gardens area we are using hasn't been really used since we moved about between 2012 and 2022. The last 2 years have been the worse gardens I have ever have.

May be the preowner used chemicals. Make not only Jadam fertilizer make Kadam microorganisms from earth, potatoes and salt. Use it every two weeks to water or spray.

I use potassium soap for that . The old-fashioned one without further chemicals.

Also, a man like you, paired up with a woman like myself... could make a difference in places like Moscow or Beijing, for examples... do reach out. I need a new sense of purpose in life after this break-up. I worked in a hospital for well over a decade. I did nothing but night shifts in hospitals.
