- John from www.growingyourgreens.com/ goes on a field trip to EM Hawaii in Honolulu, Hawaii to learn more about EM1 aka Effective Microorganisms. In this episode, you will learn what is Effective Microorganisms and why you may want to use them in your garden. You will discover this OMRI (organic) listed product that has a wide variety of applications from gardening, farming, composting, smell control, insect control, disease control and more. You will SEE John drink this natural and organic gardening product.
John will also share with you what makes EM1 unique over other microorganism or biologic products out there and why it is different than making your own compost tea or using IMO's. You will also discover other uses of EM1 around your home, in your garden or at your farm.
You will discover how EM1 can help speed up the breakdown of food waste into nutrients for your garden and even help to clean up rivers, lakes, and ponds that have sludge and slime build up.
After watching this episode, you will have a better understanding of the EM1 product, and if it is something that you might want to use in your garden to be more effective.

Another good and interesting video and you're spot on to focus on the importance of microbes in growing produce and for a healthy environment. I'd like to also highlight how you can create all the microbes you need from your own kitchen, garden and animal waste. A few chickens and/or a good compost system, and encouraging worms in the garden is all we need to encourage a thriving environment for good microbes to live and in turn the garden to flourish - all for free! Cheers :)
Will EM1 suppress or rid of root mealy bugs?
I've used EM-1 for several years. A little goes a LONG way!!! Its great stuff, enriches the soil that I've also worm composted. Thank you John - - - way to go!
+Christine Beauchamp EXACTLY, its just an additional smaller organism breaking down those worm castings even further. This is literally getting to the point where plants can start direct feeding from this zoo of life.
I make mine by buying one bottle of em1 then I use my rice wash water and bottle it, I add one ounce of molasses and shake it up, then I add an ounce of em1 from the store, and just let it sit for a week or two burping it every day. Easy way to turn one bottle into many bottles..it will bubble up and have a snap to it when you open the bottles everyday, it’s important to open them and let the gas out, or it will explode haha, did this by accident.
Thanks for the tip, using rice water is brilliant
Spot on John!!! Excellent video ~ such an inspiration. We've been using EM in our orchard as part of our holistic spray for a couple of years now and we're super happy with the results. It just keeps getting better and better. It's been a year since we started applying it to our veggie garden and have seen great results, too. We just started incorporating it into our composting process as well. Super stuff!
Interesting about the probiotic soap. Thank you for mentioning that. We just ordered more EM from Terraganix, so we'll have to include the soap with our next order. Shipping is a tad bit high.
A garden/soil geek we know in Canada used EM to help resolve a debilitating IBS issue. His health has greatly improved as a result. Certainly, this is not the "miracle cure", but it sure is great stuff and helps to take garden soil health and personal health to the next level :)
Thanks again John for being such a great soil health advocate.
Out of all the salesmanship, when John mentioned "genetic potential" he got my attention. It's something I've been experimenting with in my garden and finding what my plants genetic potential might be. If they don't have the right environment that won't reach that potential, but with the perfect soil and nutrients (like the double banana) the plant will reach that genetic potential and we don't know what that is unless we get the DNA of our plant. I like it when John is on the cutting edge of human and plants needs. Kim
I've learned so much watching your channel over the past year! Keep up the great work man! 👍👍👍✌
So glad you talked about EM1 I really think it's important too
love your videos john! I love your passion, it's contagious. keep it up man.
John you are a godsend with your wealth of info you share with all of us. "Man, I'd love to drink this stuff instead of kombucha" this was so funny! Loved your whole reaction to drinking the microbes. :) God bless you, John.
thank you again for sharing this video about em1, this will help me to produce and create the best garden soil for my food crops... also i am learning and teaching about this in my upcoming garden season... thanks for everything... william
Excellent info John! I just ordered a bottle from amazon. Thanks!
INDIGENOUS. 1: produced, growing, living, or occurring naturally in a particular region or environment
Thank you so much for such a good source of survival data!!!!!!
Was hoping to see how one goes about applying it in the garden, compost, etc...along with visuals of preparing it, etc. Another practical application video on this would be great, thanks!
Thanks John! Great video!!
Hi John,back in the day for us old timers bought EM1 starter culture, brew it up with black strap mollasses and azomite. Good then same holds true today, Good stuff. If you haven't had an A bomb vaporize your soil it still has S.B.O.s Their soil based organisims adds strains you might need to make a chain stronger. The French say O nevermind, Good Stuff
I'm from Brazil. I'm Amaury jr . Adorable explication. Congratulation!!!!
really good info.
Thumbs up for the Bluth's Frozen Banana Stand shirt. Arrested Development is amazing! There's always money in the banana stand...
In Indonesia, we further process the EM-1 up to EM-4, some farmer even use EM-5.
Wisnu Wiradana what’s the difference between the different formulas please?
Great video. Greater explanation.
Ok, brother, if you can do it, so can I! But I mixed in some em 1 with cran-raspberry juice :) I'm about to drink it... Not Bad At All!
Awesome info
But how do you keep the microbes you add to the soil happy/alive? With nutrients like in compost rock dust etc?
making the water "wetter" is from adding yucca extract, it helps depolarize water so it doesnt bead up, good for sprays and good for penetrating dry soil. the plants also take up water and food faster
BigNastyreborn is this by affecting the surface tension?
***** basically yes- and if you've ever rubbed yucca slime in your hands, you know that it suds up kind of like soap. So it is probably a surfactant and lipid soluble to some extent.
***** thanks,
Josh at Boogie Brew needs to sell this stuff. I mean... how can he claim to be a one-stop-shop without it? LOL I'm going to have to work this stuff into my boogie brewing schedule.
Thanks again John! Great information!!
I bought something very similar to em-1 (different bacterial strain but same) as this as was recommended to me, but as a beginner medical MJ grower I have a few questions maybe someone can answer: this type of product is not a fertilizer so can I still use compost teas (like boogie brew) as my main fertilizer? Also will I need to add mycoryzae product on top of the bacterial root inoculate and organic compost tea fertilizer? any advice would be helpful . Thanks!
Good information John!.
I start with rice water.And end with mixing it with bran.And do you have to put it in a news paper or brand or stuff for it to a tick to it.
Thanks for wonderful video i m from nepal, for couple of month i have used this solution weather does it works or not
Where do you get EM1
Can you use it for flowers? I love beautiful fliwers also!!
since you're drinking it, does the plastic bottle leach estrogen disrupter / BPA or is it BPA-free?
so that it can be stored, how to deactivate (put to sleep) the microbes that live the liquid media, because all this time if I put it in a plastic bottle the bottle cap always explodes, even the bottle can break when tightly closed
Can you share me how to do it? I come from Vietnam. Thank you so much!
Can i add em1 to pigeon manure tea while composting it?
Hey John, where do we get the happy balls or I think you called them Gaki Balls?
Use it in your aquaponics too
If u add em1 to a aquaponic system, is it safe? If safe, could it be used to break down fish poop and would you add it straight to the water or spray it in the media beds or seperate poop in a filter and then break it down separately?
John, do you know the fermentation bible by Sandor Katz? I think you would like it....
I make something.I don't know what it is at each stage.Can you explain the process from step 1 through the end result?
And what each step is called??
I made my own. It kind of tastes like plastic, however, I brewed it in a glass container. Is that taste normal?
Hmmm....I wonder how this would work if I put it into my rainwater barrel. Has anyone ever done this? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
I've been searching the inne webs for DIY EM methods. Does anyone know where to find information on how to make EM at home? Would this be the same as LAB in Korean Natural Farming? Thank you in advance to anyone that has any information.
Can you take this along with kefir?
How about algae in bird baths

Soil health and the value of Diversity.
Excellent video can humans take EM1 into the body as a probiotics.
NPK UNIVERSITIES ,harley smith will explain in great lengths but understandable to the layman.....thanks john for vid
If you already have sourdough culture you can use that it is exactly the same without the purple photosynthetic bacteria!
I create my own EM 1 for my garden. But sometimes I buy EM 4 which is more and more effective than EM 1. (Since it takes a long time to make EM 4 liquid)
sar please you make video for fish probioct
We use to grow organic giant vegetables 2 ft carrot- 2.5 in dia lettuce- and many others but could not sell them. People said they were to big. Market wouldn't buy either to big they said. What a shame.
michael kindscherm harvest them earlier when they are smaller so the market will buy them.
John...I have free range chickens. Can I spray this on the chicken poop in the coop ? Or...can I spray it on the chicken poop after I put it in my compost or garden ?
xtreemflame you can to both, and you can feed bokashi grain to your chickens, mine love it
Off the video topic but I know John doesn't have time to review the comments in his older vids but I need HELP. My garden is FULL of *soil centipedes*, by full I mean 1 in every 2 hands of soil. There are so many I'm afraid they're going to kill off too many of my good critters and worms. Can I do anything organically to get rid of them??
Easy. Get chickens, ducks, geese, ... and away they go ... and they turn into poop fertilizer!
***** It could mean you have thrips gnats or potato bugs. I would leave them alone, as nature will run its course and if there aren't enough pests, the centipede population will dwindle. They may have hatched recently and will die off once they don't have prey. Compost tea can balance out the number of pests and bugs especially if you are putting shrimp or crab shells into your compost tea to create chitinase.
+Eric Potter I think diatomaceous earth would be your best bet.
Do your sale it
Oh, and I have to tell you. I can't get a good rock dust in my area. Shipping is pricey. I do however have a log splitter. So now, I buy lava rocks and with a special plate on the end of my wood splitter I'm crushing my own rock dust. ; )
Amazon has #44 micronized azomite for $46 with free shipping.
***** some people find areas where wind has blown dust off rocky areas by wind erosion, sweep or scoop some up, and compost it in a hot pile. Good way to get minerals. Also if you have access to piles of dead seaweed, compost in a few garbage bags of that. Make sure it's legal to do that, or fines can be huge.
*****
well, we have ferocious winds where I live. Mostly sand. Ash is another good way to get minerals. Fines for composting dead seaweed? Lol. I know what that's about. I ignore policy enforcers and code enforcers. You just have to know how to deal with them. They are after the "legal entity" not the human being.
***** there are some wind-swept caves not far from here, and on the floor of the caves is fine powder which is basically azomite. I go on hikes there and take home a small bag once in a while, and run it through the usual composting and vermiculture before it ends up in my soil.
*****
I tried my lava rock crusher today and it works well. There is no effort and is pounded to a fine dust. It should immediately release into the soil.
We should have lunch. I'm The Green Garden Chick or some call me That Green Chick. I recently decided to start a youtube channel. Let's visit and discuss greens.
How is EM-1 different from bokashi tea that you can make yourself?
888zzz what it comes down to, is the % of each type of friendly bacteria (mostly lactobaccili of various types, or any one of 30 or so common friendly soil bacteria), and whether your brew contains any pathogenic/disease bacteria. Professional brews are tested for this. DIY brews are hit or miss and could be dangerous even. I make my own - rule of thumb is to go crazy with a good aeration strategy. I learned this after I nearly killed my entire garden foliar feeding it with bad compost tea... I have a good quad air pump and also a PVC pipe I used to blow into the mix daily like a didgeridoo! And I stir any muck off the bottom whenever I pass by. I try to deplete it before making more. I don't want to create the next flesh-eating bacteria by leaving my brew going for ten years unchecked.
Oh, so you mean they shouldn't be spraying the farm fields around my house with ammonia? Idiots! They call themselves farmers. They don't feed anybody anything good. This is why people need to grow their own heirloom organic fruits and vegetables. My husband met one "farmer" that didn't know that the seed comes from the plant. This guy was 60 years old. Really pathetic. Thanks for your vid and keep up the good work sharing the truth with people.
I think you are generalizing a bit to much. Farmers are the backbone of our society.
Dumy Jobby
I live in canada and for the most part they all do the same. They work for the corporations now and are under contract and must follow the instruction to a tee. You don't understand how they work. I Do. If they get subsidies as most do they had better follow the contract to the letter.
Farmers are the reason why food is on the table for most people in America. My grandpa is a pecan farmer in southwest Georgia. He knows all about pecans. My don't know what "farmers" your talking to but not all of them are like that.
farmboy319
the ones around me are like that. It's corn or soy and all meant for food for livestock. All monsanto garbage.
***** it has taken the honor and dignity out of farming. It's like they've mechanized the farming, and now they are trying to mechanize the farmer.... But the tide is rising against this. People know better.
Let us know what that did to your digestion, good or bad. :)
Bro u really need to do something with that hair I know the girl likes u but please do something with the hair for her..
john now you look like you're 17 years old
let's have a party where we only drink EM1 and no alcohol allowed
Dear
I am going to use super mudball for a water lake , how much time does it take to reduce oders of water.
How can you make your own microbial inoculant i.e. EM-1?
***** well, i know you can buy a mother culture and make more.
Oolong Johnson thanks,
***** np. i also saw a thread on permacultureresearch forum about people making it from pond slush which was cultured. There is also apparently large concentrations of purple photosynthetic bacteria in the liquid of pitcher plants (the carnivorous plants)
I have the same shirt he is wearing lol
Russell Chapman lol
Let's us know how those shots change your digestion. Lol
THC Titan it's probably not much crazier than drinking kombucha, kefir, kvass, kimchi, or other fermented foodstuffs.
I mixed my chicken drink with EM, and it gets healthy
HEY JOHN GOT ANY POT PLANTS?
That's good but how to make EM is a great deal, don't know how???
Nice videos man, hey I got some organic pork castings juce for you ,see how strong are these microbes
You always say WOW! and mmmmm. Are you sure that not some other drink you are drinking? You are good!
Did he say "essential" microorganisms? Does he mean effective?
since when is EM-1 "their" product? its a KNF input that is hundreds of years old......
Xanode Kind was inspired by a Japanese guy
Is it vegan?
Your videos are too long. Informative, but too long. You could get to the in at least half the time easily.....
Holy moly. I was listening across the room and your lack of any knowledge of what or why this product might work is astounding please stop trying to give advice till you understand it completely. yes beneficial microorganisms are essential to a symbiotic ecosystem however your continuing on and on with absolute manure shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Instead of being a shitty human. try helping instead of hurting.....You are better than that....I thought it was a great Introduction to Microorganisms.
I am so glad you found it educational you should try eight grade.
Holly Molly, if you’re so clever why don’t you take the time and make a video explaining the principles John is talking about, at least he is trying to educate. All that you want to do is listen from across the room, with a mask on. You’re the one that needs an education because you don’t know how to spell ecosystem correctly.
Because I am not trying to sell any snake oils that claim they are the only source of Natures Ideal composition of pathogens..... and its obvious from the fanboy replies here that any `enlightenment would have minute retention.
+Havana Woody you should try the 3rd grade its spelled "eighth" You stupid clown.
