Products for your home

Coming Soon!  New product line and/or  labelling from SCD available late September 2009

Yes it is possible and even desirable to replace the majority if not all the chemical products (artificial chemical that is because everything is of chemical nature) and often toxic which we use daily, either to clean, preserve, disinfect, cure, fertilize, sanitize, to control and eliminate (insects, parasites) etc.

OK! So you really want to but how?

Remember that our grandmothers (great-grandmothers for some... OK, grandfathers too) did not have all these improved oxy-super-powerful-ultra-anti-bacterial-even-more-powerful-than-ever-grease-removers AD nauseam, and yet their homes breathed cleanliness. The "feeling of freshness" did not come from an aerosol can but was real. Some of the products we propose to you in our store were once used by our ancestors sometimes without even being aware of the reason of their effectiveness. Other products are the result of scientific research, simple observations or rediscoveries of what Mother Nature created herself.

Let us start with the Effective Microorganisms (EM), the main product of our shop, and see to what extent these tiny beings can facilitate our existence. It is disconcerting! You will appreciate the qualities of Effective Microorganisms (EM) for all your housework. One has only to think of the many problems generated by pathogenic bacteria often the source of bad smells or putrefaction. The good bacteria help to control and even eliminate these nuisances.

How to culture EM and extend it up to 22 times its original volume and activate the microbes for better results.

Supplies: EM innoculant, molasses, pH paper, airtight plastic container for extension / activation, thermometer, heat source (optional), EM Ceramic Powder (optional for soil applications), and measuring unit.

Ratio: 1 part EM, 1 part molasses, 22 parts clean pure water (no chlorine), 1-2 Tsp/gallon EM Ceramic Powder (optional). This translates to ¾ cup EM, ¾ cup molasses and 1 gallon of water. If unchlorinated water is not available, let tap water stand in extension container for a couple days to allow the chlorine to evaporate off.

Procedure: Bring 22 parts water up to 120 degrees then dissolve the molasses in the water. Let cool to 110 degrees or below and add EM. Place into plastic extension container. Make sure that there is minimal airspace in the container after the mixture is poured in. Activating EM (Extended EM, or AEM) is a mostly anaerobic process; thus the presence of excessive oxygen is not desirable. Keep the extension as warm as possible. If you can keep the EM between 85-95 degrees it should activate in approximately 4 days. Depending on your technique and extension conditions, it may take anywhere from 4-14 days. You know the EM is ready when it the pH drops below 3.7. If your pH does not drop below 3.7, either the process is not finished or your EM did not extend properly and should be discarded. If your pH continues to drop (to 3.0 or even 2.0) this is perfectly normal and the EM is fine. As the EM activates it may “off gas” so you might need to “burp” it by unscrewing the lid and letting the built up gasses escape. If done in a glass container, the built up pressure may break the container. The end product should smell slightly sweet and pickled. Remember that EM is alive and does not like to be shaken or stirred any more than we do. The more caring and love that you incorporate into the process the better the extension you will end up with.

Note: EM Extension, unlike the bottled EM, is best used within 7days. It may last up to 1 month but should be used within this time. Do not try to extend an EM extension. We cannot guarantee the results. If you are making large quantities of extension and it is not feasible for you to heat large quantities of water don’t worry, as these are live organisms the rules are flexible. First put some water into the extension container, heat a few gallons separately and dissolve the molasses into it, then add it to the extension container. It is very important that the molasses is completely dissolved. Note here that the EM should never exceed 110 degrees since yeast begins dying at 115 degrees.

Dilution Ratios for Application: These also are only guidelines. You may change the ratios to suit your personal circumstances.

1. Agricultural applications: 1: 300-1,000 parts water

2. Waste treatment: solid wastes: 1:100-5,000 (drench and compost it)

3. Liquid wastes: 1: 10,000 parts liquid wastes repeated every 7-14 days

4. Animal Probiotic: 1:10,000 parts water

Household Uses:

The presence of EM discourages mold, fungus, and harmful bacteria from taking root on household surfaces. EM also helps to eliminate odors from pets, cigarette smoke, and odor-causing bacteria.
