[compost_tea] EM additions
Elaine,
You said in your ezine........."...........One thing we've been doing is ad=
ding certain facultative anaerobes into the compost and tea. The specific o=
nes are in the inoculum called EM, and are lactic acid-producing bacteria a=
nd proprionic acid-producing bacteria. Rather like a protection just in cas=
e the tea has too much food, or gets too warm, and oxygen becomes limiting =
- these facultative anaerobes out-compete human pathogens even in limited o=
xygen conditions............"
I am not sure where I can get an EM inoculum however would using yoghurt ha=
ve the same sort of organisms??
regards Mike Harvey.
