I have learned about this about a year ago. We have seen the video, probably

the same that Samba Prabhu has mentioned.

 

I started propagating this to my parents who own a small land. My mother has

tried EM and is very pleased. Although she didn't understood at the

beginning the specifics and made some mistakes, I will tell about them a few

lines below.

 

EM can be VERY effectively used for processing sewage waters. It eradicates

the smell completely, kills patogen microorganisms. One doesn't have to wait

too long before he can use it as compost - now it takes just a few weeks.

When watching the video I was very impressed to see how sewage water was

running through a small city; no one would believe it had such an unclear

origin. At this time I thought this might be the way to deal with the

problem on our vedic farms. Meanwhile my mother adds a little bit of EM

solution into the basket with the well known stuff (sorry, my small

dictionary which I have right now at hand doensn't have this word and

there is no smell whatsoever. Because this stuff is like nectar for these

Effective Microorganisms , they eat all organics very quickly.

 

One mistake my mother made was when she wanted to douche tomatoes' leaves in

order to strengthen the plants and protect them from disease. She decided

the more EM solution she uses the better, so she put 10 doses instead of one

in the basket. On the next day she discovered the leaves were gone - EM had

eaten them.

 

Now she is using strong solutions to fight weeds. She douches them with

quite concentrated EM solution - 1:1000 if I am not mistaken. The little

micro-guys consume the weeds in a few days turning them in first class

organic stuff. She will also water the land in November and in early Summer.

In this way one kills the weeds and their roots and prepares the soil. Of

course it's not applicable where perennial plants grow as EM will eat them

too.

 

Also usually it takes some time for cow dung to be ready for utilisation.

With EM the proces takes only 2 weeks.

 

Of course it takes some years for EM to help significantly improve the soil.

 

I myself am don't have a land. But when watching the wonders (EM was also

tested in one North Russian laboratory in Buryatia, and the results are

very impressive) I felt an urge to get a land and try this.

 

There are many wonderful things that can be said of EM. But I wanted to

share only things which I have seen myself.

PS One friend of mine is using EM for curdling milk! In Russia EM comes in

30 ml bottles. One bottle per 15 litres of milk. The results are wonderful

- the yogurt is tasty and improves one's body PH. Again because of my bad

English I cannot find the exact words.
