ECO ENZYME DIY
Before you throw away fruit or vegetable odds and ends next time around, do remember to turn them into multipurpose enzyme solution – Eco Enzyme, an excellent household helper which is an effective household and laundry cleaner, air purifier , car wash cleanser and even organic fertiliser . It is easy to DIY fresh kitchen waste at negligible cost, producing effective multi-purpose solution that is useful and beneficial to the environment.
Choose to use cleaning products made with chemicals, we are polluting the underground water, rivers and the surrounding eco-system. Conventional cleaning products contain phosphate, nitrates, ammonia, chlorine and many other harmful chemicals. The accumulated effects of these chemicals that are released from every households contaminates the environment.
Let Eco-Enzyme be your best household helper. Discover the miracle of Eco-Enzyme. We can protect and care for Mother Earth from the kitchen by making and using Eco Enzyme.
Here’s how:
CONTAINER:
1. Prepare an air-tight plastic container. Do not use glass or metal containers that do not allow expansion caused by gas released during the fermentation process of enzyme.
2. Dilute sugar in water, follow by adding your kitchen waste. Use only fruit and vegetable dregs. Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residues (make those your garden compost materials). To make fresh smelling enzyme, add orange/lemon peel or pandan leave etc.
3. Leave some air space for fermentation.
4. Make sure the container is air-tight.
5. During the first month, gases will be released during fermentation process.Release the pressure built up in the container to avoid rupturing.
6. Push the floating dregs downward every once in a while.
7. Place at cool, dry and well ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight. Let it ferment for at least 3 months before use. Filter and it is ready to use.
8. After 3 months, extract out the water and leave only the sediment. The sediment can be dried to become fertilizer or may leave it for next fermentation.
9. The ideal color of eco enzyme is dark brown. If the color turn to black addsame amount of brown sugar to re-ferment it.10. It may have white, black or brown layer on top of the eco enzyme, ignoreit. If you encounter worms in the container, leave it for a while can close thecover tightly.
11. If you have not gather enough kitchen waste, you may fill up thecontainer gradually. The 3 months fermentation period start from the last dayyou add in the kitchen
TAKE NOTE!
- Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.
- Garbage for making enzyme does not include paper, plastic, metal or glass materials.
- The ideal colour of eco enzyme is dark brown. If it turned black, add in same amount of sugar to start fermentation process again.
- It may have a white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it. If you encounter flies and worm in the container, leave it and the chemical reaction of enzyme will dissolve them naturally.
- Make full use of eco enzyme residue:
a) Reuse for next production by adding fresh garbage.
b) Use as fertiliser by drying the residue, blend it and bury in the ground.
c) Grind the residue, pour into toilet bowl, add some brown sugar and flush to help purify sewage. - If you have not gathered enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually. The 3 month fermentation period start from the day you place your last batch of kitchen waste.
- The longer it takes, the better it gets. Harvested Eco enzyme will never expire. Do not store in the refrigerator.
- If every household utilised their garbage to produce eco enzyme, it can stop kitchen waste from polluting our land and meanwhile ease global warming. You can help change the climate!
