The plastic bottle does not swell up.

Does that mean it's not

fermenting?
The botiles swell when carbon dioxide is generated by microbial
activities. Depending on the condition of the fermentation, it may
not always be generated. Even if there's no gas, fermentation is
taking place as long as it smells swest and sour. If a pH test paper No.1
shows 3.5 or below, it's ready to use.

or drain pipes. Diluted EM solution should be used up in a day.

What s the white film that appears on the surface of Activated EM-17
When there s air in the container, yeast gathers up to the suríace
and produces white film, but there is no problem using it. However,
being exposed to the air for a long time gradually changes the
quality. It is recommended to use it as soon as possible.

º What does it mean to "expand EM" ?

By feeding the microbes in EM, they become

1 bottle of EM-1(500mi) can make about 20 bottles

(500ml) of Activated EM-1.
The quality s not exactly the same as EM-1, but it works in the
same way as EM-1

EM -1 is a basic product consisting of 3 kinds of beneficial

microbes that live symbiotically. The microbes in EM- 1,
with some feed, work actively and increase their number . º Why do you have to expand it?

It is best to give feed that contains

sugar, amino acids, and minerals in good balance.

Amino acids

Molassess doing so, you can save money by expanding EM at home.
Molassess is a byproduct of sugarcane. It contains not only
of sugar, but also amino acids and minerais in good
