    If you use Celcius instead of Fahrenheit to measure temperature 120 F is about 47 C. You don’t want to bake your beneficial bugs.

    you need to buy a ’starter culture’ – kida like sourdough, and then you can brew up your own ‘tea’ from the concentrate. $12 for a small bottle from EM America.

    The main difference …
    The main difference between EM (effective microorganism) and the microorganisms found in compost tea is that EM contains anaerobes that allow the Bokashi to ferment and pickle, as opposed to compost tea organisms which are aerobic creatures.

    I messaged the guy …
    I messaged the guy and he hasn’t answered back. I’m thinking the method is similar to making compost tea, but his starter might be more complex. I’m thinking in order to get optimal results, you have to buy the cultures (they are called EM)

    thanks for posting this. a vendor list for the ceramic particles would be helpful.

    i would think that it would be smart to wear a superfine particle mask as you add the ceramic particles and to continue to wear it until you have finished adding and mixing in the liquid. It can’t be healthy to breath in ceramic particles!

    This would otherwise be great, but is pretty useless without knowing how to make the microbe mixture.
