Hey there!

in my garden community we want to make activated EM. Does anyone know much about EM and could help me?

I was wondering, if it is possible to make EM-1 from activated EM? We dont always want to buy EM-1 in the store as it it quite expensive and we'd like to be self.sufficient. I'd be happy about any ideas of how to continuiosly make activated EM at home.

Thank you

Hi Robert,

I recon like in the fermenting of Asian Kimchi or German Sauerkraut we starting always from scratch or using only once a starter from active Kimchi because the microbiological balance cannot being kept as you want to.
Some Organisms are more dominant than the others and could take over the show.

Another point is for me that you might get some unwanted Bacteria's migrating and those create a disaster on your livestock...

Pennywise saving might end up in Dollar wise foolish.

I am also "not rich enough to buy cheap" but when it comes to microorganisms which are raised in clean sterile laboratories I step back, let the scientists and doctors do their job and pay cash instead of effort.
