Awesome cheers!

This is the kind of info we need. Theres so much right under our noses that we can utilise in our gardens/farms.

Munns also make some excellent dry fertilisers that i have used in the past. This one is great: https://www.munns.com.au/71/product/7...ertiliser.aspx

This water saving stuff is also great for pots and hanging baskets https://www.munns.com.au/72/product/9...ot-basket.aspx

My nearest Mitre 10 don't stock the gogo juice but they had other neutrog products. I'll have to make some calls. That Munns dry stuff is interesting, high P than N, think I'll grab some of that for early flowering and the veggie beds.

Have you tried bunnings?? every 1 Iv'e been to stock it.

The problem i;m haveing is the EM, can't find it any where and not much available via google either locally.


Another thought was to buy some of the "bokachi" starter you buy at bunnings and try some how to culture the "EM" from that. Maybe if we soak it in some water and add molassis we may get some "culture" of it.

Any one with suggestions???

Cheers Johnny

Sick, there are 3 bunnings nearby so easy done.

I haven't found any EM1 in melbourne, but someone has to stock it. In the meantime Im very happy with free lacto culture!

Will definately be buying one for sure, as there is still a lot of food stuff going to waste in my house hold that can't be put into the compost or worm bin's. It would certainly help to enrich the compost when finnished.

So do you recond that the EM could be cultured from this system?? as I would also like to start with some FPE etc. I also dabble with veg's in the garden organically so any other type of organic amendment is good.

I think EM is quite a specific blend so being able to recreate it is doubtful.

Thats not to say you wont come up with something good and useable.

I know we can make the bokashi bran using EM1 and molasses plus active ceramics but the other way round... not sure.

You can buy the EM1 online here:

This is a good list of stockists around the country.

Thanks Silver, I did find info on eco-organics, but my local "suppliest" operates out of a private residence address and was not answering the phone as well.

Have just checked out reeco's web site (I did not find this one in my google search) and it looks good and going by the Po Box address it looks fairly close as well. I will ring them and see if they have a retail shop nearby etc.

Once again thank you.

Cheers Johnny
