This episode is with returning guest Chris Trump. He’s a student of Nature, and regarded as one of the leading experts in Korean Natural Farming and it’s adaptations around the world.
In this interview Chris shares a bit of his story of how he got involved in natural farming and why he started teaching it. I ask him about the qualities he sees in successful natural farmers, and we dive into philosophy.
We also get into a more detailed discussion about Indigenous Microorganisms aka IMO. I refer to his videos, which you can find on Youtube.
I highly recommend you look at his videos if you are even remotely interested in probiotic growing, it really helped me to look outside the box, and connect in with Nature.
We also talk about the difference between Effective Microorganisms aka EM and IMO and a bit about what you see under the microscope. Chris turns it around and asks me about my journey of natural farming.

051 - Probiotic Musings, Science & Philosophy with Ben Klenner
In this episode I’m flying solo… talking about my thoughts on living a probiotic life. It’s a question I ask myself regularly, and I challenge you to have a question that you ask yourself. It’s a form of meditation; asking yourself a question over a period of time.
Join me as I share a little more of my journey from the last year or so, and where asking this question has taken me. I delve into science, its applications and its limitations, and compare it to traditional eastern thinking, specifically Traditional Chinese Medicine. I go into the wisdom of nature, an ancient knowledge that expresses itself in the patterns all around us. Observing these patterns and rhythms with a curious mind and heart can lead to the understanding that we are all connected.
I then share some of the books that have influenced me in the last year or so.
These include:
Braiding Sweetgrass
Robin Wall-Kimmerer
Walden
Henry David Thoreau
One Straw Revolution
Masanobu Fukuoka
The Girl Who Sang To The Buffalo
Kent Nerburn
Little House On The Prairie series
Laura Ingles Wilder
One I forgot to mention is:
The Secret Teachings of Plants
Stephen Harrod Buhner
In summary, I believe we are supposed to be connected through our senses; to plants, to animals, to microbes, to each other.
To have the humility to admit we only know a fragment of what life is, and the willingness to trust Nature, and to trust what I call God; the Creator.
I hope this, like other episodes, inspires you to dig deeper, to ask your own exploratory question.
Thanks for being on the journey, and I’d love to hear from you!
May the beneficial microbes be with you.
Until next time,
Cheers
