Activated EM

By Admin, 20 May, 2024

The term, "bokashi microbes," refers to the microbes in bokashi. For instance, the Activated EM, which is a liquid of microbes and is part of the bokashi method, could also be bokashi microbes. It can also be used when referring to it for many different applications, especially when not using it as a spray (where "bokashi spray" wouldn't apply). "Bokashi microbes" as a bokashi lexicon, can make it easier for people to understand what it is (in contrast to saying, "Activated EM").

The term, "bokashi spray," is used to contrast with "bokashi sprinkle." Both terms are used in regards to fermenting food waste, that is, as fermentation starters to make bokashi food waste. The bokashi sprinkle is bokashi bran, a granular solid material, and therefore, is sprinkled onto food waste. The bokashi spray is Activated EM, a liquid, and therefore, is sprayed onto food waste.
