Patrick Smrz is a garden designer. He first came across EM in 2005. "My wife picked up a bottle of EM-Active to try out." Partrick Smrz started his first trials with a very difficult indoor plant. "I watered the plant with EM-Active but didn't give it any other special attention.
Some time later I noticed that the plant had grown and flowered; that was when I decided to try it out on water plants too. I found it helped them to take root much better. These initial experiments convinced me. Since then, I regularly use EM in my garden centre and recommend it to my customers."
Engelbert Bergmaier-Russman was named "Gardener of the Year" in 2010 and operates a nursery business with 4 sites. He first heard about Effective Microorganisms in 2004, did some more research and was very impressed. Convinced of EM's benefits, he implemented them across the nursery overnight.
"To this day I have never regretted taking that step; quite the opposite. I am truly impressed by the many benefits and positives they have brought," explains Mr Bergmair-Russmann. "Not only does using Effective Microorganisms save money and effort, it's also all done without any chemicals involved: when we work with nature instead of against it we all benefit."
The Schützenhofer's family business in Rohr im Kremstal (Upper Austria) specialises in vegetable production, herbs, ornamental plants and floristry. It has been using Effective Microorganisms since 2003. The family has put together its recipe for a low-maintenance garden.
There are many good reasons to mulch, i.e. put plant materials on the soil: Less work for you, protection for beneficial organisms and combating pests, recycling "waste materials", humus development, and mulched areas are more visually appealing.
For a long time Ahrntal and, in particular, Sand in Taufers have tried to juggle the requirements of a region which focuses heavily on both agriculture and tourism. Searching for a solution to this problem, a group of dedicated people from our community, mainly primary and middle school teachers as well as some community leaders and the composting site, initiated the use of Effective Microorganisms about 2 years ago.
EM is short for Effective Microorganisms. They consist of a mixture of beneficial, naturally occurring microorganisms, such as yeast, lactic acid cultures and photosynthesis bacteria, which have also been used to prepare and conserve food since time immemorial.
Organic Gardening - EM Garden
The greatest possible success in the garden can only be achieved by working with nature rather than against it - the more natural, the better. The proven technology of Effective Microorganisms (EM) ensures a successful start to the gardening season.
The "Small garden pack" and "Let´s go green" packages make this start easier.
With nature as a role model - The better care is taken with plants and trees now, the stronger and more resistant they will be for the entire season - EM horticulture. Multikraft products with Effective Microorganisms (EM) provide the optimal basis for this. Healthy soil and strong plants are the prerequisite for vigorous plant growth and splendidly thriving (vegetable) gardens. Besides the soil fauna - insects and worms - it is above all microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) that influence the growth and health of plants. Especially the microbiology in the root area (rhizosphere) is responsible for a sufficient and - what is even more important - for a balanced supply of nutrients to the plant. The use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides disrupts natural cycles and inhibits soil life - especially soil microbiology.
Poorer growth and higher susceptibility to pests of the plants are the result. By using EM technology via the irrigation water, the soil is enriched with a regenerative microbiology and root growth is promoted. Nutrients are made more available to plants, and the plants can make better use of fertilisers - ideally organic fertilisers. The soil becomes crumbly, more fertile and can also store water better. These are now ideal conditions for good and healthy plant development. EM Active", "Terrafert Soil", "Terrafert Leaf" and "MK 5" are liquid concentrates that are added to the water or sprayed on directly. They promote germination, flowering, fruit set, ripening and strengthen the entire plant as well as its resistance to fungal and pest attack. It is precisely the use of such biological aids that promotes the colonisation of beneficial insects, which provide additional support here. The nutrients present and supplied in the soil are also better absorbed and fertiliser is reduced.
