TAKING A QUICK LOOK AT COMPOSTING

Taking A Quick Look At Composting And Effective Microorganisms Or EM

by Clifford Woods

Traditional procedures for making compost takes anywhere from 1 to 2 months. However, these days there is something widely available that can help reduce this process into just 3 weeks.

Thanks to composting and Effective Microorganisms (EM), improved soil condition and ultimately agricultural productivity need not take a very long time to be enjoyed.

Reasons why the use of compost is highly beneficial vary. Primarily, its addition helps enhance the health and fertility of the soil. It contributes to the improvement of the types and amount of microbes present in the soil, valuable in more ways than one. Ecological risks are also reduced as the use of synthetic fertilizers hazardous to the environment is eliminated.

Because it enriches the soil and enhances its quality, agricultural productivity is improved. It is said that EM is being utilized by organic farmers in over 150 countries worldwide, and its effectiveness is backed up by a lot of scientific investigations. This approach actually relies on a liquid culture of certain microbes that are known to be "facultative anaerobic organisms".

In layman's terms, these are life forms that can live in conditions not only with normal oxygen levels present in the air, but also when there are low levels of the gas available. These organisms present in EM are also known as "fermenting microbes". The name alone reveals that they are also responsible for fermentation process, necessary for making bread, cheese, yogurt, salami, beer and many others. The liquid culture needs to have the right blend of microorganisms to work.

Yeast, lactic acid and photosynthetic bacteria are the main groups of microscopic life forms that are major role players. There are also some other wild ones added into the liquid culture. With the right facilities and raw materials, the creation of this popular organic fertilizer is not impossible. However, it can easily be purchased from various manufacturers.

The fact is Effective Microorganisms is a trademark of the EM Research Organization, Inc; In the US as well as in other countries. However, there are many other similar products readily available to organic farmers. While for sure there are numerous excellent ones out there, it's also not unlikely for rip-offs to be around that may yield less satisfactory results.

Scientific researches have found that the use of EM can provide many other results than just improving the soil's quality and health. It has been found out that this organic compost is valuable in helping crops beat diseases such as botrytis. Protection against weevils and other commonly encountered stressors by farmers also help ensure the well-being of plants.

The Composter allows you to compost indoors without all the mess and odors.

It's easy to see why composting and Effective Microorganisms can be beneficial to one's agricultural productivity. There are also many other wonderful EM uses around. They may be used for cleaning polluted water and cleaning sewers. Organisms present are helpful in sanitizing medical facilities and dealing with oil spills. As mentioned earlier, it is used for fermenting purposes, allowing for the production of many fermented
food products. EM is also known to be highly effective in controlling insects, as well addressing odor and preventing certain diseases in animals.

THE SOLUTION IS EFFECTIVE MICRORGANISMS

The Solution Is Effective Microorganisms

by Clifford Woods

The technology on effective microorganisms is a mixture of beneficial bacteria and yeast. The top soil can be improved by the addition of these foreign substances. It has proved to be an impressive option all over the world. The know-how can be applied in human health, agriculture sector, livestock rearing and industrial waste treatment.

The skill aims at increasing the number of beneficial matters in soil. The result of the expertise has many advantages. It increases the microbial health in soil and promotes a healthy environment for plants. The bacteria are responsible for fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the earth. They accelerate decomposition of organic wastes and residues. The microbe can be used as an important tool in the manufacture of organic fertilizers.

The ability is extensively used in the livestock sector to enhance the quality and quantity.A disease suppressive microbe is developed when this method is adopted. The matter is introduced into the animal bodies in order to produce antibiotics. These antibiotics are necessary for a good animal health.
There are many examples of bacteria that are used in plant production. Better yields are enhanced in agriculture with the incorporation of this system.

The technology is a mixture of several non engineered matters. Lactic acid bacteria are used to metabolize sugars by fermentation process. Photosynthetic bacteria convert the sun energy into sugars. They can also convert nitrogen gas in the air in a form that the plants can use. Enzymes and antimicrobial substances are particularly crucial in plants.

Effective Microorganisms also known as beneficial microorganisms, improve soil when they are introduced into soil. The possibility of plants doing well is there which promises abundant crop yields. They reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides making them particularly friendly to the environment.A possible sustainable agriculture is likely to be enhanced, with the assimilation of these creatures.They are safe for human, plants and animals.

Foods that are modified using this technology have proved to be an antioxidant. They are friendly on the digestive system. Yeast is significant because the formation process involved produces vitamins. This is an essential mineral that are required by the body. The food products made through this method is safe and full of nutrients supplement.

The nutrients do protect from free radical stress and pollution. They suppress disease that may develop in human bodies and build enzyme capacity. There are high chances of the human body being detoxified by the continued use of foodstuff that contains this bacterium.

The system has made it easy for many people all over the world. It allows you to compost meat and dairy products. This system is frightfully common in urban centers. Flower gardens and fruits grow faster hence income increased even by 150%. The labor involved is low.

However, it should be noted that microorganisms may change the power of hydrogen in the soil. This may have negative effects to the soil. Substances to ecosystem can be disruptive and potentially destructive. When using the effective microorganisms, care should be taken to avoid soil erosion in plants. Good results are achieved when the technology is used together with mulching.

TIPS FOR A CLEAR POND ALL YEAR ROUND

TIPS FOR A CLEAR POND ALL YEAR ROUND

By Clifford Woods

You have done all the work to create your beautiful pond. You've got the correct, colorful fish and the pumps are pumping, the plants are "just so" and you start enjoying. You then do all the right things. Add the chemicals and things recommended and one day your pond is not as clear as it was. You cannot see your fish and worse - it's all green!

Oh no!
Well, here are some no chemicals tips for a clean, all natural, organic pond that you and your fish will love!

The first point is NEVER put any chemicals what-so-ever in your pond. They damage the environment; destroy natural vegetation and they can HARM your fish! If you are currently using chemicals, it is strongly recommend that you cease using them. At the very least, they are not safe for the environment.



Use effective microorganisms - always! Some kinds of microorganisms help us, but other kinds give us trouble. Among microorganisms, there are good bacteria and there are bad bacteria. Good bacteria clean water, produce cheese, bread etc. and are of help to our health. Bad bacteria contaminate soil, pollute water and air. They cause sickness and disease and degrade health. So, look around. Do a little research and locate some effective microorganisms that you can use in your pond. Your fish will love you for it.

No Ultra Violet Lights - ever. Ultra Violet light does reduce the bacteria in the pond; however, the UV cannot tell the difference between the good bacteria and the bad ones. Because of this, a UV light kills the friendly bacteria in the Pond and in any effective microorganisms you are using - right along with the bad guys!

Use your dechlorinator. If your water is chlorinated or every time you add fresh water to your pond; dechlorinate. Chlorine is not good for the microbes in any effective organisms you use.

Plants and animals are not likely to store chlorine. However, laboratory studies show that repeat exposure to chlorine in air can affect the immune system, the blood, the heart, and the respiratory system of animals.

Chlorine causes environmental harm at low levels. Chlorine is especially harmful to organisms living in water and in soil; so, use your de-chlorinator!

No sludge build-up! When effective microorganisms are used regularly in ponds, about every 6 weeks or so all-year-round, the black, stinky, smelly sludge build up on the bottom of ponds does not seem to happen.

Good practice. Some good practices when dealing with ponds are: a) Calculate the gallons of water in your pond correctly. Use a calculator - The formula is: length x width x average depth x 7.5. This ensures that whatever you are adding to it is being added correctly to your pond. b) If you have heavy rains, double the dosage of whatever effective microorganisms you are use. c) Do not fertilize your pond plants. This also fertilizes the algae - and we do not want to be doing that!

Using effective microorganisms, at the recommended dosages, all-year-round (every 6 weeks or so) and keeping your pond dechlorinated whenever you add fresh water, will give you: a) Happy fish, b) Thriving and beautiful plants, c) No green water, and d) A clean, healthy, beautiful pond all-year-round!
