How to use EM in horticulture
Soil enrichment:
Work into the surface (approx. 5-10 cm), dilute 30 l of EM-A with 300 l of water (1:10) and spray. These measures must take place at least 14 days before sowing or planting. The germination of weeds is also stimulated by the EM-Bokashi and EM-A solution spraying, therefore the weeds must be dealt with mechanically prior to sowing or planting.
