EM.1

EM.1(effective microorganisms) is a mixed culture microbial inoculant composed of several species of beneficial bacteria, yeasts, and fungi whose synergistic actions, either directly or indirectly, produce a wide variety of substances called antioxidants for organic agriculture practices, livestock management, environmental management, organic cleaning for pit latrine management, sewage treatment, industrial degreasers, and odor management.

EM.1 has now gained popularity in more than 300 countries around the world and is now being used in the fields of medicine, crops and animal production, and industrial waste management as a microbial inoculant.

Cleanups

Regardless of how many chemicals you use to disinfect and kill harmful bacteria, you cannot kill all of it since we are continuously living in an ocean of microbes. However, you can use EM to control and balance beneficial and harmful bacteria. Use it to clean up your house by spraying and wiping the floor in every corner of your kitchen and bathrooms. This will promote the activities of good microbes and reduce static electricity that increases the accumulation of dust. You can also freshen the air in your rooms by using EM in your house to eliminate bad odors.

Washing Clothes

Adding EM into your washing will ease the removal of dirt and sebum from clothes. Further, you will not need to use fabric softeners since clothes will become naturally softer and smoother. Meanwhile, discharging wastewater that contains good microbes will promote the natural purification power of nature.

Kitchen Waste Recycling

Kitchen waste can be recycled using EM.1, which is rice bran fermented with EM・1. With the help of a treatment bucket, you can reduce your daily waste while producing organic fertilizer full of nutrients. Properly used, EM can prevent the organic waste from becoming rotten, thereby eliminating foul odors.

Gardening

Fertilizers made from kitchen waste fermented with EM.1 can be used in your gardens to enrich soils with nutrients and beneficial microbes that will work in concert with the natural microbes existing in garden soil. Plants will grow in a healthy way, resistant to pests, and free of chemicals. Thus, garden produce will be safer for consumption.

Using your EM1 Garden

Dilute EM1 Garden with water, from 1/100 to 1/1000 dilutions. Soil and Plant Drench: Add 10ml EM1 to a 10-liter watering can, and thoroughly wet soil and plants (apply to 10m² of the garden).

Pets

As they are 100% natural and safe, EM.1 can also be used for your pets. Spraying EM or using it to bathe your dog or cat will reduce the use of chemical products and help to stimulate and balance beneficial microorganisms in their bodies. Their hair will also be softer.

Elderly People and Babies

You can use EM.1 for washing babies’ cups or plates and even their toys. Children and elderly persons will be kept safe and comfortable in an environment free of foul smells and full of beneficial microbes that will help to control sanitation problems as well.
