Are you familiar with the abbreviation EM?
EM - Effective or Agronomically Beneficial Microorganisms .
Baikal EM-1 is familiar to me, I water houseplants with Baikal additive. When I do this systematically, the plants go crazy ...
In the garden I added it when watering, but several times, it did not get worse, but I would like to know more, thus increasing motivation ...
I suggest you read with me and decide. If you do, tell me ...
Finding their living land - what could be more important for those who strive to live in harmony with nature and grow on their land onlyenvironmentally friendly products.
The health of the owner is in the health of his land!
Many gardeners note that the lasting effect of the useEM biotechnology observed in the second year of use, while others notice it after 2-3 weeks.
It all depends on the initial conditions: soil composition, processing methods, fertilizers used, the amount of organic matter introduced, climatic conditions, water regime and others, all of them cannot be foreseen.
Long-term observations have shown that even starting to applyEM drugs in July-August, many summer residents were shocked by the change in the appearance of the plants, as if they had breathed an additional charge of vitality into them. The number of new ovaries and fruits increased sharply, the plants ceased to hurt, and their fruiting continued until the very frost.
What is the secret of such success, and what should we do? The most important thing is to shift all the main work to microorganisms, and we just need to create conditions for them for normal life. It is necessary to give them organic waste as food and stop digging the earth with the overturn of the formation.
It is desirable to loosen only the top layer of the soil (5-7 cm), inhabited mainly by aerobic microorganisms, which need oxygen for life. Thus, we stimulate their development. In addition, by loosening the top layer of the soil, we do not violate its structure, providing water and air permeability, thereby preserving fertility.
Let's give up digging the earth, we will only loosen the upper fertile layer, saturating it with oxygen, and we will feed the inhabitants of the soil with various organic waste, supporting their vital activity.
And yet, every year the ecological situation on our planet is deteriorating more and more, and therefore all soils suffer, especially those remote less than 200 km from large industrial cities. To cope with pollution, on the scale of your summer residence and are designed toEM - Effective or Agronomically Beneficial Microorganisms.
So, what effect do microbiological drugs have?
- They increase the content of agronomically beneficial microorganisms in the soil;
- Heals the soil, as they inhibit the growth of phytopathogens, increasing the number of antagonistic microbes;
- Improves soil structure;
- Improve the mineral nutrition of plants;
- Isolate biologically active substances and stimulate plant growth, increase plant immunity and yield;
- Improves the quality of the fruit.
SHOULD REMEMBER! All microbial preparations contain living organisms and the conditions for their use must be strictly observed.
- The introduction of drugs into the soil or spraying on plants should be carried out in the morning or after rain, but in no case in sunny weather, since the sun's rays have a detrimental effect on microorganisms and can reduce the effectiveness of the drugs.
- The temperature also affects the development of microorganisms, therefore, it is advisable to apply the drug to the soil in warm weather.
- Spraying of plants should be finely dispersed, since large drops easily roll off the surface of the leaves.
- The effectiveness of any microbial preparations increases with the simultaneous use of organic fertilizers and observance of crop rotation.
The soil in my garden is, to put it mildly, not very good in structure. Hence the problems with fertility. When arranging a warm bed, of course, it is necessary to spend some effort, and, frankly, considerable. But the end result is definitely worth it. Let's analyze this “epoch-making” event step by step.
First of all, you need to select excess soil from the garden along the contour and in depth. It is clear along the contour of the garden bed, especially since there is a fence made of boards. But it is necessary to deepen at least 40 cm (if you want enough heat to be released during the decomposition of organic matter). When removing soil, you can study its structure in sufficient detail. We have a large number of large stones and a close (at a depth of about 15-20 cm) location of clay layers.
So, the soil has been removed:
Drainage branches are laid at the bottom:
And then comes a period of imagination and opportunities, but with the obligatory observance of certain rules: it is necessary to re-layer "green" (grass, any weeds, food waste), "brown" (hay, straw, leaves, cardboard, cotton cloth, sawdust, husk cereals) organic matter and a small amount of soil. Such a puff cake must have sufficient moisture. To speed up the process of decomposition of organic matter, Shine-3 is added. I added Shine-2 to the holes when planting tomatoes.
Let's continue the "preparation" of the beds.
A layer of birch sawdust:
Inverted turf layer:
Food waste:
Leaf layer:
Hay layer:
Weed layer:
Soil layer:
Due to the large number of stones, I had to sift through the soil. For this I used a plastic vegetable drawer with a shallow mesh).
The following photos show the "temperature" advantage of a warm bed.
On the left is an ordinary garden bed in the open field. On the right is a warm garden bed in the open field.
The difference on the basilica was very clearly visible. It was sown in a greenhouse on a regular bed, and in open ground on a warm bed.
Left - basil in a regular bed in a greenhouse made of cellular polycarbonate,
on the right - basil on a warm garden bed in the open field.
And this is how the plants grew on a warm garden bed.
Growing carrots
For the successful cultivation of this root crop, it is necessary, in particular, to create optimal starting conditions. We cannot influence the weather conditions in any way, therefore we carefully monitor the temperature regime of the soil, but not to the detriment of its moisture content. I will practically explain how to do this using my own example.
As soon as the bed has cleared of snow cover, I cover it with a dark polyethylene film. At the same time, moisture remains under the film and, at the same time, the temperature of the soil rises. An accompanying bonus is cutting off rapidly growing weeds from sunlight, which is a depressing factor for them. I keep the film in the garden for about 2-3 weeks. When the soil layer warms up to about 12 degrees, I sow the seeds prepared in advance.
Preparation from emyan.
I pour seeds into a half-liter jar half-filled with water. Stir thoroughly. I remove the floating seeds. You can add a little table salt to the water to increase the density. Then I move the seeds into a small cotton cloth, twist the ends of the cloth in such a way that it looks like a bag. I pour water warmed up to about 50 degrees (so that my hand can “tolerate”) water into the jar, and start rinsing the seeds. At the same time, essential oils are washed off from the surface of the seeds, the water is painted in a characteristic color, a specific smell is felt. The procedure can be carried out 2-3 times. The seeds are dried.
Sowing seeds.
If the soil in the bed is dry, it is necessary to moisten it well enough to a sufficient depth. When the top layer dries out a little, make grooves with a compacted bottom with a small cut of a board with a flat end surface.(The depth of the groove is about 2-3 cm, the distance between the grooves is 15-20 cm). With the help of the seeder, seeds are placed at a distance of 5-6 cm from each other.
The seeds are covered with compost (soil) and compacted a little by hand. The garden bed can be covered with a thin covering material.
Due to unfavorable weather conditions in 2014, I carried out planting of carrots on June 12-13. Thanks to the above technology, the seedlings of the culture appeared in one week.
Cucumber cascade
It so happened that in 2014 I planted cucumbers quite late, even for our region - on June 20: one plant - with seedlings, and three - with seeds. Planting was carried out in a greenhouse made of cellular polycarbonate 4 meters long. The cucumber bed turned out to be 4 m long and about 50 cm wide. Only 4 plants were planted here. I planted 3 seeds in the holes. After germination, I left the strongest ones one by one in the hole.
Later, plants from seeds caught up with a cucumber grown by seedlings. Two cucumbers of the Emerald Stream variety, two - Herman varieties. As it developed, I did not pinch the plants of these varieties, only tied up lateral shoots (there were not many of them, about 5 per bush). As you can clearly see, the plants do not shade each other.
Cucumber care consisted in the following: mulching with chopped nettles, foliar feeding (spraying) - once every two weeks with a bio cocktail, root feeding - once a week (with liquid from EM-silage and horse "Orgavit" solution) 0.5 liters each ( before fruiting). There was no watering at all.
Results: 134 fruits were harvested from two German bushes during the season.
Cucumbers Herman
From two plants "Emerald Stream" - 16 fruits with a total length of 5.5 meters of very good quality and taste.
According to my observations, the optimal size of the "Emerald Stream" fruit without deterioration in taste should be 40-45 cm. And although the cucumber of this variety is considered a salad, it is perfectly subject to canning in pieces). The last cucumbers were harvested on September 22nd.
A fool grows weeds
Smart is the harvest
And the wise - the Earth.
(from the piggy bank of folk wisdom)
A poem about agriculture (10.11.2012)
The foolish weed grows everywhere,
And the smart one is the harvest.
My friend, do you agree?
But no, so boldly object.
The sage can't just
Standard to do:
He loves not the harvest, no,
And he cares for the Mother Earth.
The earth feeds us and gives us water,
And he thinks for us:
Can't grow
In Siberia, pineapple.
In the far North will not give
Corn on the cob:
The culture is gentle, and there
Harvest is not a burden.
All kinds of fruit and greens and a bug
Born only there
Where Mother Nature will permit
Where it will be useful to us.
Or, behold, a cultured gardener
Saves the vegetable like this:
I stood over the garden all day -
Dropping out the weed.
And he does not know in any way
From spiritual simplicity
That in vain piles up: Mother Nature
Does not tolerate emptiness.
Go to the field or the forest
Find a piece of land
So that it was dug up, and so that there
The plants did not grow.
And if there is baldness, she
Wrapped in foliage -
Summer coolness for the land
The warmth of the earth in winter.
Put your palm into the soil -
You will feel the comfort
Warm and humid at hand
For greenery - a resort.
Why, smart gardener,
For so many long years
You carry the Earth to Mother
Are there many bitter troubles?
Live in harmony with Nature,
And take care of the Earth.
We did so much harm to her,
And, like, not enemies.
Give the enemy a shovel
And fertilizer too,
So that your beloved granddaughter is
Healthy and good-looking.
The Earth will return your love
A story, believe me
Will open with a generous hand
For Fertility a door!
Good luck. Love the Earth - the nurse!

Reading this brochure can be very important in your life. The story of Effective Microorganisms is widely spread not only in Russia, but all over the world.
It will focus on a new direction in agriculture, EM-biotechnology. Although it cannot be called completely new, it has been known for a long time, and the new is, as you know, the well-forgotten old. EM biotechnology promotes intelligent farming and a sparing attitude to nature, aimed at restoring and increasing the humus layer of the soil, by supporting the vital activity of its inhabitants, and in particular, microorganisms.What are microorganisms? These are the smallest living creatures that you and I do not see, and whose dimensions are measured in thousandths and millionths of millimeters. Although they are doing a tremendous job.
Only a man was born, he is surrounded by microbes. Every centimeter of our body surface contains tens of millions of microorganisms. The human intestine is inhabited by 1/3 microorganisms (more than 70 species). In water, every cubic kilometer of water contains tons of microorganisms. In the soil of the northern regions, up to two tons per hectare, and in the southern regions, up to eight tons per hectare of biomass of microorganisms - by weight, this is a whole herd of cows. And depending on what types of microorganisms prevail in your soil, it will be less or more fertile. The use of preparations of the EM series will allow you in the shortest possible time to achieve an increase in the number of agronomically beneficial microorganisms on the land plot.
The first preparations of the EM series - Effective Microorganisms were created more than 20 years ago by the Japanese microbiologist, Professor Higa Teruo. And have been widely recognized all over the world. More than 110 countries use this technology to increase yields and improve the quality of their products. And people can grow tasty and rich harvests only on healthy, fertile soils. So what is "healthy soil" and what can we do to improve its fertility? To answer this question it is necessary to imagine the soil as a huge organism in which life "boils". First of all, how did the soil form? The first earthlings are microorganisms. They settle on rocks, stones and begin to create soil - they create organic matter, this is how the primary soil is formed. What is soil? This is the top fertile layer of the earth, these are living organisms, this is organic matter-humus and this is the mineral part. A biological circuit takes place there, which ensures life on the entire planet. What does biological circuit mean? Plants take food from organic matter, destroy it, and then return to the soil in the form of organic matter.
So, the more beneficial microorganisms on our site are, the healthier and more fertile the soil will be. Moreover, this will happen in a natural way, as it happened in nature from time immemorial. And our task with you is not to interfere with these processes. When should you start using EM biotechnology? You can start using our products at any time of the year, as we offer various methods. Such as: preparing compost at home in winter, preparing soil for seedlings, soaking seeds, growing seedlings, preparing the soil in spring, accelerating composting, protecting plants from diseases and pests, eliminating odors in country toilets, watering plants during vegetative growth, autumn tillage and much more.
Modern microbiology has proven in practice that with the help of Effective Microorganisms (EM) it is possible to control soil fertility and productivity, and this direction is partly an alternative to the use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides. The proposed technology is based on a reasonable form of farming aimed at restoring the humus layer of the soil. This technology has been introduced in Russia for the sixth year already, and has proved to be the most efficient and less costly. We have thousands of followers and invite you to try it out at your summer cottage. Today in Russia several enterprises are engaged in the development and production of microbial preparations of multifunctional action. This area of microbiology, which studies the various communities of microorganisms and their relationships in the process of soil biocenosis and the impact on the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans, is beginning to attract the attention of serious people.The pioneer in this market in Russia was the drug "Baikal EM-1" produced by Ulan-Ude, then the drug "Vozrozhdenie" of Moscow production appeared, the drugs "Stimulin" and "Zorka" are produced in Stavropol, the drug "Baikal EM-1-U" is produced in Kharkov ", In St. Petersburg drugs" Extrasol "and" Batsilon ", in Siberia" Bizar "," Rizoplan ", and others. Today, in view of the prospects, such drugs are being developed by many Russian institutes. For many years at the Department of Agroecology and Microbiology of the Novosibirsk State Agrarian University under the leadership of the head. department, professor, doctor of biological sciences Nadezhda Nikolaevna Naplekova, the most fertile soils of the Siberian and other regions of the CIS were studied. In the scientific laboratory, active cultures of agronomically beneficial microorganisms were isolated, ensuring the health and fertility of the soil, capable of increasing the energy of seed germination, accelerating the growth of plants, improving their nutrition, increasing immunity and thereby ensuring an earlier and plentiful harvest. As a result of long-term painstaking work of Siberian scientists-microbiologists, the newest microbiological preparations of the EM series for the restoration of soil fertility of the BakSib brand (Bacteria of Siberia) have been developed. In addition, scientists studied the effect of BakSib biological products on increasing plant resistance to diseases and on improving the taste and nutritional qualities of fruits, as well as their ability to significantly speed up the composting process. All these studies are documented, the effectiveness of drugs is scientifically proven and substantiated. Since 2005, BakSib drugs have received official State registration in the Russian Federation. The Novosibirsk corporation EM-Biotech is engaged in the production of BakSib brand drugs.
Biological products "BakSib" are produced in the form of a dry substrate (specially prepared wheat bran), seeded with a multifunctional complex of agronomically useful cultures of microorganisms and products of their vital activity. Biological products "BakSib" are produced in three modifications: "BakSib R" - a preparation for growing seedlings, potted plants and flowers, "BakSib K" a concentrated form of the preparation for further dilution with water and introduction in the form of an aqueous solution in open and closed ground as a root and foliar feeding (their second name is EM-2, Shining-2), BakSib F is a preparation for accelerated preparation of organic fertilizers (EM-3, Shining-3). Many experienced gardeners and large farms from the Far East to Ukraine have already tested them for several years on their plots, were able to see and evaluate the results of their action.
For the production of our products, we use only high quality raw materials. Agronomically beneficial microorganisms isolated from soils are not subjected to genetic manipulation and are selected according to two characteristics: on the one hand, as plant growth stimulators, and on the other hand, as inhibitors of phytopathogenic microflora (suppressing the development of harmful microorganisms and fungi). And I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that microbiological technologies do not guarantee a quick effect. It takes years, if not decades, to restore soil fertility. And we suggest that you do not stop using EM biotechnology on your site for three to four years, even if at first you do not observe too noticeable effect. And since we still have to live these several years, why should we deny ourselves the pleasure, watch the revival of the land on our site and, along the way, enjoy the collection of large harvests of tasty and healthy fruits? All over the world, organic farming, based on the use of natural, environmentally friendly organic fertilizers such as manure, bird droppings, peat, compost, as well as various green manure and microbiological preparations, is gaining increasing popularity. Microbiological, or microbial, preparations are not only compatible with organic fertilizers, they increase their capabilities several times!
By saturating the soil with nutrients of organic fertilizers and useful soil microflora, you provide food not only to plants, but also to the earth, improving its structure, increasing biological activity and, as a result, significantly increasing its fertility. The earth begins to gradually revive, gain strength. By conducting organic farming on your site, you are growing your land! Ancient Chinese wisdom says:
"The foolish one grows weeds, the clever one grows the harvest, and the wise one grows the earth!"
Finding their living land - what could be more important for those who strive to live in harmony with nature and grow only organic products on their land. The health of the owner is in the health of his land! Many of our followers note that a stable effect from the use of EM biotechnology is observed in the second year of application, while others notice it after 2-3 weeks. It all depends on the initial conditions: soil composition, processing methods, fertilizers used, the amount of organic matter introduced, climatic conditions, water regime and others, all of them cannot be foreseen.
Our long-term observations have shown that, even starting to use the preparations of the BakSib series in July-August, many summer residents were shocked by the change in the appearance of the plants, as if they had breathed an additional charge of vitality into them. The number of new ovaries and fruits increased sharply, the plants ceased to hurt, and their fruiting continued until the very frost. What is the secret of such success, and what should we do? The most important thing is to shift all the main work to microorganisms, and we just need to create conditions for them for normal life.

And yet, every year the ecological situation on our planet is deteriorating more and more, and therefore all soils suffer, especially those remote less than 200 km from large industrial cities. To cope with pollution, on the scale of your summer cottage, EOs are called upon - Effective or Agronomically Useful Microorganisms. Good luck and Success, dear gardeners.
