Can you tell me a little more about the microbes in the EM product? Are they decomposition types mostly? Do they contain mycorrizhae, or contribute to their generation?

[88simran]

@skislock They are "fermentative", "synergistic" and most notably: "Facultative" microbes"> they have shown to boost the growth of present mycorrizhae 4 times in controlled tests...

the fermenters aid the decomposers (not rot or putrefy which is a process of oxidation, these guys are anti-oxidizers).

in a bottle of EM there is anywhere form 6 to 30 different microbes, all synergistic and facultative. u will most importantly find : Lacto bacilli, yeast, and purple photosynthetic bacteria...

I have been reading about Bokashi made from your EM. Could you have put that into the bag of clippings instead of the EM liquid? Why would or wouldn't you want to do that? Does making Bokashi make the EM different ?

[88simran]

@skislock The bokashi itself is a medium or "substrate" for the beneficial microbes in EM to inhabit. the liquid medium is much more potent in regards to initiating fermentation on substrates such as clippings or bran etc... where as a bran bokashi (for example), when dry, is ideal for inoculating your food scraps to ferment in a bucket : partially because of the moisture requirements for fermentation of this sort...

To use bokashi to initiate a grass clipping ferment would likely be too costly

[skislock]

@88simran It is probably my lack of science background prompting these questions, but they keep coming. 1. Why couldn't you just spray a little of the EM on the waste as you fill a bokashi bucket? 2. If you were to dry the grass clippings that you fermented, would they have similar innoculating properties to the bokashi powder made from wheat bran, or have they changed to something totally different. I appreciate your time on this.

[88simran]

@skislock indeed, a natural progression of thought....

From EXPERIENCE or "hands on" U will find your answers...

I humbly give u guide lines from my experience.

[88simran]

it was sprayed with the concentrate including some water. the drying out of th grass is to achieve a good fermentation. minimal wetting was a clear directive...

[ParapaDrifter]

you don't put water in it?
