EM Solution
In August 2007, Mr.Abdullah (Jamof Sdn. Bhd), taught me to produce EM Activated Solution (EMAS) using wastes from fruits and vegetables. The ingredients are fermented for 1 weeks before the solution is extracted. The EM solution can be used in many ways..
EM (Efficient Microbes) is a balanced culture of beneficial (probiotic) bacteria.
Applications include:
Composting
Soil remediation (garden tonic)
Household hygiene
Animal Husbandry & Silage
Farming
EM works as a soil tonic and a compost activator. It contains food-grade probiotics that can safely ferment food waste into super-nutritious soil, and help re-establish the complex soil ecologies responsible for delivering nutrients and anti-oxidants to plants.
EM can also be used as a cleaning or hygiene agent can also contribute to a healthy home through its antioxidant qualities and its ability to exclude pathogenic bacteria.
EM is produced through a natural fermentation process therefore it is not chemically synthesized or genetically engineered. EM is sold as a concentrate and can be added to water and applied as is or activated and extended up to 2000 times its volume.
Hot to Prepare EM Activated Solution (EMAS):
Materials % of the total volume for 100 little
・EM・1 5% 5 little
・Molasses 5% 5little
・Clean water 90% 90little
Process of preparation
1. Mix molasses and EM in water
2. Pour the mixture into a clean plastic container or drum, close tightly and keep in a warm place.
*A suitable temperature for fermentation is from 30℃ to 40℃.
3. From about second day on, gas may form as a result of the fermentation process. Loosen the cap to release gas generated a few times during the fermentation process.
4. EMAS is ready to use, 7-10 days after preparing it. When the pH of the solution drops below 4.0(ideally it has a pH around 3.5) and when it has a sweet –sour smell like EM・1 and has changed color from black to reddish brown.
