Bokashi compost can be made from everyday kitchen waste that is cut up into small pieces and other sorts of organic materials such as straw, weeds, crop wastage, animal manure hay and mown grass. The fermentation process ensures that rotting and bad smells do not have a chance.Tapping–off the collected juices at the base of the bucket is recommended every 2 days.

Repeat this process until the bucket is full. 8. Draw off the liquid that has accumulated in the base of the bucket. Dilute this liquid at a concentration of 1:100 parts water. This can then be used as plant feed for house and garden plants. Or alternatively poured undiluted down the sink to clear pipes. 9.

This bokashi compost can either be directly applied to the garden (dug into trenches) or collected in a covered compost heap in the garden.
This appliance is designed to achieve optimum activation of Effective Micro-organisms. The activator, that has a built in heating element, ensures a constant climate, resulting in the proper fermentation. The appliance can, for example be placed in the kitchen in order to regularly prepare a new batch of activated Effective Micro-organisms.

EM is a combination of useful regenerated micro-organisms that exist freely in nature and are not manipulated in any way.

\n\nWhat makes EM unusual is the combination of aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms. The meaning of aerobic is living with oxygen and anaerobic means living without oxygen. The scientific world has always accepted that these two groups could not possibly live side-by-side because the conditions for survival are completely opposite. Both groups, however, naturally occur in the soil.
\nBefore the discovery of EM, the natural assumption was that aerobic micro-organisms were the “goodies” and anaerobic the “baddies”. This, however, is a misconception. Both groups contain elements of both causatives and suppressors of diseases. Effective micro-organisms control the disease causatives.
\nThe aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms both have in common the ability to change substances into antioxidants. These substances hinder the process of oxidation such as occurs in rust and rotting and are therefore beneficial for improving the health of soil, plants, humans and animals.

The Effective Micro–organisms can be fermented and baked in clay to form the products known as EM ceramics. The micro-organisms cannot escape from the clay. Their positive activity can therefore be retained for a long time. EM ceramics are therefore excellently suited to be used in water. In baked clay the effective micro-organisms work at an optimal level. All of their properties are preserved. Moreover, if the organisms have enough food they will multiply. Once the process of multiplication has started, the newly-formed organisms will not be retained in the clay but are free to move where they want and perform their natural functions.
\n"; database[5].Resellers = ""; database[5].Picture = "The EM ceramics are placed in water and have an immediate effect on the water through a process of resonance. The longer that the EM ceramics remain in the water, the better the results will be. The recommended amount of EM ceramics depends on the amount of water. The EM ceramics must amount to one thousandth part of the water mass. Therefore, one cubic metre of water will require one kilogram of ceramics.
\nWhere larger and constant masses of water are concerned, such as ponds or swimming pools, the amount of ceramics can be reduced by ten to twenty percent.

The healthy soil is portrayed as an extremely complex living organism. The soil life is filmed in wonderful natural colours with the use of an electronic microscope. The message coming from the film is clear: recognise the importance of sustainable agriculture and learn the nature of the soil life in order to completely understand it. The soil is a vulnerable living organism. In order to ensure a sustained productivity and stability, the soil must be continually fed. The film covers various aspects such as an introduction to soil science, soil microbiology, sustainable agriculture, agricultural ecology and invironmentology. The film is suitable for all levels of agricultural colleges and universities. The film is also appealing for the general public and of course the keen gardener.
