Ingredients

  • Fresh milk (or 4 L whey)2 litres
  • Fresh cow dung10 kg
  • Molasses2 litres
  • Activated MM solution2 litres
  • Wood ash1 kg
  • Clean water20 litres

How to make it

  1. Step 1

    Into a 30 L drum put 2 L fresh milk, then add 10 kg fresh cow dung.

  2. Step 2

    Dilute 2 L molasses in 20 L water; add it to the drum along with 1 kg wood ash.

  3. Step 3

    Add 2 L activated MM. Stir until uniform and remove any wood chips or debris.

  4. Step 4

    Do NOT add acidic fruit juices (lemon, orange). Use fresh cow dung from an un-vaccinated cow, kept out of direct sun.

  5. Step 5

    Cover the drum firmly with a metal ring fastener so no air enters.

  6. Step 6

    Fit a hose from the lid into a bottle of water — an airlock that lets gases bubble out while keeping oxygen away.

  7. Step 7

    Store under shelter, out of sun and rain, for 25 days. Do not open before then.

What it is

A Bio-ferment (Biole) is a fermented liquid organic fertilizer: liquid organic materials worked on by Mountain Microorganisms — yeast, fungi and bacteria — which transform them into plant elements, vitamins, organic acids and other growth substances. Sprayed on the crop, the nutrients are absorbed through the leaves right away. It is a microbial soup that re-establishes the ecosystem's microbial balance and makes plants more resistant to pests and disease.

On the Nutritive Cycle: Biole is an all-stages input — a balanced backbone tonic that nourishes crops and steadies soil microbial life throughout the season.

When to use it

  • Any growth stage — a foliar tonic to nourish crops and boost resistance.
  • Dilution — 1 L bio-ferment : 1 L water (or 10 L : 10 L) in a 20 L spray pump.
  • Before use — shake the container well for a uniform mix; open, measure what you need, and re-seal immediately.

Materials

  • Fresh milk — 2 L (or 4 L whey)
  • Fresh cow dung — 10 kg (un-vaccinated cow, kept out of sun)
  • Molasses — 2 L; wood ash — 1 kg
  • Activated MM solution — 2 L; clean water — 20 L
  • 30 L drum, metal ring fastener, hose and water bottle for the airlock

How to make it

  1. Load the drum. Put in 2 L milk, then 10 kg fresh cow dung.
  2. Sweeten and add ash. Dilute 2 L molasses in 20 L water, add it plus 1 kg wood ash.
  3. Add the microbes. Stir in 2 L activated MM until uniform; pick out wood chips. No acidic juices.
  4. Seal. Fasten the lid airtight with the metal ring.
  5. Airlock. Run a hose from the lid into a bottle of water so gases bubble out and no oxygen returns.
  6. Wait 25 days. Keep under shelter, away from sun and rain. Do not open before day 25.

Signs it worked / troubleshooting

  • ✅ Good: steady gas bubbles rising through the water-bottle airlock as it ferments.
  • ⚠️ No bubbles = poor seal or weak MM → check the lid and airlock are airtight.
  • 🚫 Opened early or contaminated with acidic juice = spoiled batch → keep it sealed the full 25 days and avoid citrus.

How to store

Keep the sealed drum under shelter, protected from sun and rain. Ready at 25 days; open only when needed and re-close immediately. Apply diluted 1:1 with water.
