Effective Microorganism Concentrate is a potent liquid culture of beneficial microbes — the same kind of biology at work in a Bokashi grain system, but cultured and concentrated far beyond it. Soil Supply Co. grows and concentrates our own microbial consortium under controlled conditions on a continual basis, so every batch ships with a high level of activity. The microbes are facultative, meaning they thrive across a wide range of conditions, including the low- to no-oxygen environments where they outcompete pathogenic and problematic microbes and leave little room for them to take hold.
As they work, these microbes produce lactic acid, enzymes, cofactors and other secretions that break organic matter down and liberate nutrients and vitamins for healthier plants and soil. That makes it a genuinely versatile tool: drench it into soil to assimilate amendments faster after top-dressing, speed up a compost heap, help plants recover from waterlogged roots, deodorise septic systems and standing water, or use it undiluted in place of Bokashi grain to break down kitchen scraps or start your own Bokashi culture.
