hello and welcome to my thread so today i like to show you the great use for your grow by using EM•1®Effective Microorganisms.





http://www.emamerica.com/index.php



EM•1® is a liquid bacterial product made of three groups of bacteria: Yeast, Photosythetic Bacteria, and Lactic Acid Bacteria. EM•1® works together with beneficial microbes in the area to which it is added, creating a synergy among microorganisms and larger forms of life including insects and worms, pets and livestock, and people. All products with using EM Technology® contain EM•1® in some part of their manufacturing process: EM•1®, PRO EM•1®, Dr. Don's®, EM® Ceramics, EM•1® Bokashi, etc.

Since its introduction in 1982, a variety of applications have been developed in over 100 countries. We have put together a video that runs through some of the most common applications with EM•1® to give you an introduction to the world of microbes.

So what is this EM (Effective Microorganisms)?



Effective Microorganisms, or EM is one of the most popular microbial technologies being used worldwide now. EM was first discovered by Dr. Teruo Higa, professor of horticulture at the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan and it's products have been on the market since 1983.
By now EM is produced in over 54 countries (including New Zealand) and consists of naturally-occurring beneficial microorganisms. These microorganisms can easily be classified into three major groups: lactic acid bacteria (commonly found in dairy products), yeast (e.g. bread, beer), and phototrophic bacteria.
The use of Effective Microorganisms Technology has broadened in the last two decades from agriculture to water treatment, odour control, animal husbandry, human health, and numerous other industrial treatments.
Research has shown that the inoculation of EM cultures to the soil/plant ecosystem can improve soil quality, soil health, and the growth, yield, and quality of crops. Also when used in animal systems similar benefits have been shown. These microorganisms have a reviving action on growing systems and are completely safe to use.
A number of these microorganisms have long been familiar to the medical sector and the foods industry and are extremely useful for people, animals, plants, the soil and water. Naturally, EM Effective Microorganisms are not genetically engineered. Over the years, the completely harmless and safe nature of EM has been confirmed during a range of research both in Japan and other countries.
In general there are three types of microorganisms:

  • Decomposing/degenerative microorganisms
  • Opportunistic/neutral microorganisms
  • Constructive/regenerative microorganisms
EM (Effective Microorganisms) belong to the regenerative category. They can prevent decomposition in any type of substance and thus maintain the health of both living organisms and the environment.
Degenerative microorganisms behave in a manner that is diametrically opposite to that of the regenerative group.
The opportunistic/neutral microorganisms constitute the largest category. They follow the group which dominates in a system (See illustration below for a better understanding).
Therefore, when a milieu is created in which regenerative microorganisms prevail, the opportunistic microorganisms follow the constructive processes. Accordingly, the use of EM opens up completely new dimensions in many areas of our day-to-day existence. EM influences the microbial world in a way that ensures that regenerative microorganisms predominate. An environment is created in which by means of fermentation, microorganisms play a positive role with regard to plant growth and quality and soil fertility. Fermentation is stimulated with the result that decomposition disappears, i.e. soil is created in which regenerative microorganisms prevail, leading to optimum results, the prevention of disease and the production of high-quality products.
The employment of EM has met with an extremely positive echo among both conventional and organic farmers. EM cuts fertiliser costs and in the course of time also reduces the volume of weeds. As EM effective microorganisms work largely in the anaerobic sector and they are especially effective in areas where problems such as putrefaction, mal odours and sludging occur.
Effective Microorganisms are utilised in arable farming, vegetable production, fruit farming and viniculture. EM in ponds, biotopes and fish breeding waters bring both an improvement in water quality and sludge degrading. The microorganisms in EM are able to convert the decomposing material derived from the settling of organic matter such as leaves, algae, pollen, seeds, fish food, etc. This optimises the water quality and furnishes an excellent environment for fish breeding.

If you are new to organic gardening, this site is for you, too, although many of the products that I offer will be foreign and may even seem strange. I sell superior quality and mostly certified organic products such as effective microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi, compost tea brewers, sea minerals fertilizer, liquid kelp fertilizer, humic acids, liquid fish fertilizer (hydrolysate) and blackstrap molasses. The pages of this site will point you to some essential and truly wonderful resources that will change your outlook on gardening and life, and teach you more about the products I offer. I also love talking about anything to do with organic horticulture, so please contact me if you have questions about anything.
For those who already possess knowledge of soils, the role of microorganisms, biostimulants, Reams' nutrient ratios, and all of this other fascinating stuff, you will find here the fundamental products to assist you in bringing ecosystems towards balance. I am not referring to so-called 'organic fertilizers' that are mostly unnecessary and often harmful, but rather the microbial products, biostimulants, important mineral sources, and the emerging field of energizers.
And while I have noticed that other businesses offer a confusing array of hundreds of unnecessary products, I believe that the small list of essentials here in the pantry are mostly all that is needed in terms of off-site amendments. Browse through this site and, in my opinion, you will see where the future of organic horticulture is heading. When I was running my previous organic gardening business, I found that it was difficult to find many of these products, especially in Canada. I hope to fill the void. Enjoy!





this sites have helped me so much but all you need is to buy em and the thing you need are in all natural food shops or garden show but i hope you look at all of this sites you will want to use this more then man made ferts

:hump:enjoy haha555:hump:

alright so i got EM & Extra Em i guess that's EMa or whatever. What should I do with it? to make soil? do you put it in the soil beforehand so that it has time to start reacting? how have you used it can you be specific with amounts and perhaps a soil mixture? I think i can get fresh bat guano and worm castings in it too.?? do you have a complete EM/Organic dialed in? thanks

by the way was that bio vitamins you meant to say? that if you use Em with bio "vitamins" then you don't need any other fertilizers?
