Soil is the lynchpin to life as we know it. It’s where carbon is stored, where all life comes from and returns, and it’s also the living foundation for all life on land and sea. If we want to restore our environment, economy, and health FAST, we have to work with soil and not just in one area, but in ALL areas. We have to make SOIL a permanent part of our culture.

Your intermittent smiling goes from heart-warming to “what kind of crazy is he?!” xD
It's the dimples for me.
Yes, I use EM and brew it at home. It helps. I can see the result from my plants that be able to absorb nutrient better after grow the same plants for a while. I can see that my Pertunia, Supertunia, Trailing bamboo, Ferns and Hoya grow fast and lush. I love using it because it's so organic.
right i began to read your book , really good...impressive...learning so much thank you
Morning, Matt! Fast forward 3 years, and here I am. I am so grateful to be in your class! The first few chapters in the book, although tedious to read, gave me few AH-HA's. So, that's why that didn't work! We all need to have a good foundation, and I want to thank you for stepping up and taking to time to write the book, and teach these classes to help us build that foundation. You are much appreciated.
This one took me on a journey! 🍄😉
Guru of awesomeness
Glad to hear your take on prebiotic and EM.please keep me on your mailing list. I made EM and forgotten about it. I must have missed the benefits. I wanna do again. I don't remember trying it on my plants.
There's a machine that dispenses EM for free behind Yongsan-gu office in Seoul. Never knew what they were.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just Followed, thank you so much for what you’re sharing, so digestible and well done. Love and chi
Great information Matt!!! Yes I use it! In some traditional ways and some experimental. I use it to make my own Bokashi grain, I use it in my hot compost after I hit 15 days over 130, I am experimenting with it in a type of “ comfrey tea” that doesn’t stink (10 days in, so far 👍), I spray my garden, fruit trees and lawn with it, I use it in several KNF processes and I take it every day. Now the stuff I take is LAB and I’ve looked at it under a microscope and it is predominantly Lactobacillus Acidophilus and yeast. For gardening and compost I add a little bit of PSB ( photosynthetic bacteria) that I culture as well.
hey man, can i ask you if u can share the process of culturing PSB? Is it on youtube? do you have some scientific/empirical information regding the % of each main microbe (lab,yeast,PSB)? This is THE question Im having now. so thanks in adv for yr thoughts and time!!
@@damianl04 if you want the % of microbes I would suggest looking at the labels of EM1 and Photosynthesis Plus. The two retail products that most closely match what I culture. EM1 is the retail equivalent to KNF LAB, Photosynthesis Plus is PSB. Both processes can be found on UA-cam. Chris Trump’s ( how to lab ) and Agri Life ( how to do photosynthetic microorganisms ) give the basics. I’ve learned that LAB can go off and blow up the container if you get the brown sugar mixture wrong so add more. PSB isn’t volatile but stinks like rotten eggs and the water used needs to be from a local stream or lake. Not tap. That’s a good starting point for you.
@@itsasickness4939 thank u so much for the info!!!
Great video bro. We have to talk again some time
Wow, big words Matt!
Nice!!! I’m gonna try this
I use em -1 good stuff and I also use the Bokashi innoculated with em-1 in my chicken food and coop and compost pile as well as my garden I recommend that 👍
hey Matt! love your content, mostly your smiles and stoked laughter!! your enthusiasm is totally infectious :)
you mentioned leaving the microbes for a couple weeks until the pH drops low. does this affect the acidity of the soil? we already have quite acidic soil so i wonder about that.
thank you! keep up the great work!!

I am from #Pakistan
Love to watch your lectures (see your video presentations)
I love EM ❤
i love dudes excitement
Great explanation.
Hi Matt.
I'm using my on my compost pale.
This is how:
-Make a woodfire
-next day get you carbom and nitrogen to make your compost pale where you did the fire.
- ad EM and basaltic crushed each layer.
You will see the result.
Thanks
Smart fellow..!
Hey Matt, would adding a diy airlock to the container lid be detrimental to the process’ at hand?
I’m new to permaculture and every other word is foreign to me, but this is a whole new cool world!
Great video as always! EM5 from build a soil is great is a co op product
Great information , keep going 👍💐
Thanks KJ! I appreciate it!!
Matt, it looks like that’s water kefir, not milk kefir. Is that accurate? Can they be used interchangeably or are they used in different ways?
Is it water kefir? Looks like it
Love the info thank you for sharing.
Is EM and lactobacillus bacteria the same thing?
Where is the answer?
i use brown sugar mix EM1 with water and after 2 weeks it turn out like kombucha, is kombucha part of EM ? and then i take 1 tea spun of fermented EM1 add to my aquarium, after 2 day i notice the fish water is ultra clear and the glasses of aquarium is clean and clearer and all the fish and aqua plants are heathy...
Hehe there's many ways to make these kinds of brews - I interviewed someone that said they used rotten watermelons to do it in one country. The yeasts in Kombucha are key because it's an ENDOPHYTIC plant growth promoting fungi. They rock and are endophytes in so many plants.
EM balances soil and water ecosystems with its action. It turns N compounds into amino acids.
6:20 bio - ceramics.... does this have anything to do with the vast amounts of clay pottery pieces found in the terra - preta? Is there a method to use and work with the clay shards and the charcoal? i am thinking the bio-char and clay work together to make the black earth are productive as it is....
You are SPOT ON - but there's more to it that I only learned more recently. The clay was from the Chicha pots, they were brewing corn beer and cooking them on low heat over these pits, and the elder grandmother was monitoring everything and SPITTING in each pot!! The pots were not perfectly baked like today's uniform pottery we see, so they'd break more easily and soak up water more easily, so they would be holding the microbes from the fermentation and grandma in them as well. ADD TO THIS that in the Amazon we have facultative soils... we have the perfect situation for something like EM to appear.
Wish I could like your questions TWICE!! It's the kind of thing I think about all the time lol ;)

This is a deeply....deeply complex web we are speaking about.
Charcoal has its CAC (cation exchange capacity) allowing the capture of both negative and positive ions. This gives it the ability to capture and hold several different minerals as well as nitrogen & phosphorous etc. It can also hold water and provides a living space for innumerable types of microbes. It is like one stop shopping for plants and trees.... (Side Note: The indifferent burn rates of that charcoal likely provided a level of fertilizer as well. I have seen this in my own making of bio-char when portions of the charcoal was not fully burnt and still retained some tars and oils from the wood.)
I was unaware that the clay pottery was used for fermentation. I knew they were used as cooking vessels and were quite porous and would break due to the heat of cooking. The clay is undoubtedly holding some mineral content in it's structure as well. As you mentioned....it can hold water and was a living space for microbes. Microbes lovingly inoculated into it's structure by the fermenting of beers (and probably other foods)... and human bio-me thanks to grandma...
Throw in some refuse - bones , manures, flotsam and jetsam from the lives of the people and you have quite a mix to fuel the soil life and whatever is growing in it.
Add the above factors to the facultative soils (microbes capable of switching from aerobic to anaerobic) and you have a whole new meaning to the term 'living soils...'
I think about this sort of thing a lot too. I am glad there are others folks trying to unravel this system so it can be incorporated into our food and medicine production. The more people looking into this the better....
Want to homebrew EM or scale it up just like we are? You can at home - I have recipes in The Permaculture Student 2 Textbook & Workbook, and you can download the textbook (all 450 pages of it!) for FREE, so you can DIY this at home at any scale! I'll be diving deeper into this in the new Permaculture Soil book and course, but this is a perfect place to start: www.thepermaculturestudent.com/download-ps2-free

MATT POWERS ONE MAN WITH A DREAM!! Fight on brother the love is real
Hello evr,my mom started using EM since 2016 and still happy and proud about them,recently she worked with a family where two woman with covid occasionally had contact with her, of course cover by mask but there were a lot of contact by passing things foods ecc... my mom said that every morning she drank and spray them in all rooms for preventive reason and divine product EM protected her from being infected, she is good and Thank to God we all are good! so EM really a goog product but not for everyone because if u start use them u should believe in their force and power otherwise u would just waste your money one litre of them cost 30 evro u could also activated them it means u will alter their biostructure, so i think all people before and after illness of covid should use them,probably for strong effect it's prefer use not activated but EM1, so sad that much of person not know them!
_Is it one of antioxidant_
YES :) It's an incredible antioxidant: that's primarily how it works :)
@@ThePermacultureStudent_Thank you Sir_
can you please make a video of you making EM 1 Matt?
I have in-depth how-to videos with EM, Bokashi, and Biochar in the advanced course with Cuauhtemoc Villa, so that's why I haven't made one, BUT I've been chatting with one of the field researchers for Dr. Higa - he helped develop EM2 and has videos of original applications, testing, etc. I'm going to be getting access to this footage and digging deeper with him. He was talking about the issues with EM - how it needs constant refreshing and how that was a drawback. He's currently working on new organic preps. It's all so fascinating!!!!!! I hope you join us in the new course and book!! :) :) :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattpowers/permaculture-soil-science-and-solutions-book-and-course
Thanks Matt :)
Ive been really wanting to do this course, i think i might look into doing it
I'm making my first compost, but it tends to compact so the bottom will smell.
Will my EM1 brans do anything good if I add them to my compost?
I have Bokashi, Biochar, composted cow manure, organic soil, forest soil, Vermicompost, Kelp, Kefir, Lots of dry leaves, leaves from the forest, cardboard and a bit of chicken manure and European Nightcrawlers in the compost. Trying to get biodiversity
I'm using the finished compost as a dirt layer in a dirted tank (aquarium)
It will prevent "smell" which is gassing off Nitrogen and other nutrients.
@@ThePermacultureStudent Ok thanks. I'll turn the thing and add it to the bottom layer
what is the name of that guy that teaches about biochar?
Cuauhtemoc Villa or Michael Wittman
Good video Matt,,thanks for sharing...by the way i did research on EM against agriculture and wastewater.
Thanks Matt, can you use EM on people?
There are definitely products for that - one is called EM Gold: www.teraganix.com/EM-X-Gold-p/2102.htm
Which is better fermenting em-1 aerobic or anaerobic
You have to do it anaerobically - the facultative actions let it digest the CO2: it's really cool and amazing!
@@ThePermacultureStudent @Freddie's Farm sir i got question..not related to em-1..but maybe you have knowledge about trichoderma harzianum and how to ferment it..or can you give me someone who i can talk to about trichoderma..thanks sir..
