Garbage Enzyme

More facts on garbage enzyme:-

Credits goes to Dr. Rosukon and Dr.(H) Joean Onn for sharing this valuable knowledge

What's Garbage Enzyme?

Garbage enzyme is a complex solution produced by fermentation of fresh kitchen waste (fruits and vegetables dregs), sugar (brown sugar, jaggery or molasses sugar) and water. It is dark brown and has a strong sweet sour fermented scent. Garbage enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications covers household, agriculture, animal husbandry etc.
Garbage enzyme is developed by Dr. Rosukon from Thailand. She has been actively involved in enzyme research for more than 30 years and encourages people to make garbage enzyme at home to ease global warming.

Garbage enzyme is the solution to recover our ozone layer and lower the global temperature.

Change Climate
From day one you start making garbage enzyme, its catalyses process Will release ozone gas (O3). O3 can reduce carbon dioxide (C02) in the atmosphere and heavy metal that traps heat in the cloud. Hence heat can be released from the Earth, reducing greenhouse and global warming effects. Enzyme convert ammonia to nitrate (NO3), a natural hormone and nutrient for plants. Meanwhile it converts carbon dioxide to carbonate (C03) which is beneficial to sea plants and marine life.

Discover the endless benefits of this Earth-saving enzyme you can make in your kitchen. It is rewarding to heal the Earth.

Save money:

Turn kitchen waste to DIY natural house-hold cleaners.

Multiple usage:

Natural household cleaner; air purifier; deodoriser; insecticide; detergent; body care; car care: organic fertiliser, etc

Reduce pollution:

Methane gas released from disposed garbage can trap 21 times more heat than CO2, worsen the global warming condition.

Purify air:

Remove odour. Dissolve toxic air released from smoking, car exhaust, chemical residues from household products, etc.

Purity underground water:

Enzyme that flow underground will eventually purify the river and the sea.

Natural pesticides:

Reduce mosquitoes. flies, rats or cockroaches etc.

Anti-bacterial and virus:

Natural antiseptic for your home.

Prevent drainpipe blockage:

Release residues accumulated in the pipe of basins or toilet bowls

Close tight - Keep 3 months (Open daily to release gases for first month)

==================================================
||Ingredients || Ratio || Example 1 || Example 2 || Example 3 ||
==================================================
||SUGAR || 1 || 1KG || 2KG || 0.5KG ||
==================================================
||VEGETABLE || 3 || 3KG || 2KG || 0.5KG ||
==================================================
||WATER || 10 || 10Litres || 20Litres || 5Litres ||
==================================================

Here's how:

1. Use an air-tight plastic container.
2. Dilute sugar in water, follow by adding vegetable and fruit dregs.
3. Leave some space in the container for fermentation.
4. Close it 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 garbage downward every once in a while.
7. Place at cool, dry and well ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight Let ferment for at least 3 months before use.

Take notes:

1. Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.
2. Garbage for making enzyme does not include paper, plastic, metal or glass materials.
3. Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residues (can be used as garden compost material), To make a fresh smelling enzyme, add orange, lemon peel or pandan leave etc.
4. The ideal colour of garbage enzyme is dark brown. If it turned black, add in same amount of sugar to start fermentation process again.
5. It may have a white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it. If you encounter flies and worms in the container, leave it and the chemical reaction of enzyme will resolve them naturally. Close and seal the cover tightly.
6. Make full use of garbage enzyme residue:
>> Reuse for next production by adding fresh garbage.
>> Use as fertilizer by drying the residue, blend it and bury in the ground
>> Grind the residue, pour into toilet bowl, add some brown sugar and flush to help purify sewage
7. 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.
8. Garbage enzyme is at its best after 6 months of fermentation. The longer it takes, the better it gets. Garbage enzyme will never expire. Do not store in the refrigerator.
9. Help protect our ozone layer, if every household utilised their garbage to produce garbage enzyme, It can stop kitchen waste from polluting our land and meanwhile generate enough ozone gas to ease global warming. You can help change the climate!

Direction for use:

Garbage enzyme can be used diluted with water at a specific dilution ratio.

FOR GARDENING OR FARMING:

Dilute to 1000 times with water for use as natural insecticides, herbicides, pesticides and organic fertilisers. Also can be used to stimulate plant hormone to improve quality of fruits and vegetables and to increase crop yield.
Spray on land for 3 months continuously to improve soil quality.

Save on household cleaner and bodycare:

For shampoo, dish wash, laundry liquid etc: use enzyme to multiply and to reduce chemical residues.
Ratio = 1 part enzyme : 1 part detergent/cleaner : 10 parts water
Washing vegetables: Add 30ml (2 tbsp) enzyme to 1 liter water. Soak for 45 minutes.
Floor cleaning: Add 30ml (2 tbsp) enzyme to moping water. To clean and sterilise.
Car care: Add 30ml (2 tbsp) enzyme to water tank to reduce car temperature.

12 Vegetables with the Most Pesticides

Sweet bell peppers are atop the list of vegetables found with the most pesticide residue; on a single pepper, there were 11 different pesticides found. The peppers also had 64 pesticides, in total, found on the sample.

The tests, conducted by the Environmental Working Group (recently named as one of our Best of Green award winners, as the Best Natural-Health News Website) and published as part of their Shopper's Guide to Pesticides, are part of the group's ongoing efforts to educate the world about the environmental health implications of what we consume and use every day.

Celery ranks #2 on the list, with the highest of percentage of samples test positive for pesticides -- a whopping 94.1 percent -- and the highest likelihood of multiple pesticides on a single vegetable, with 79.8 percent testing positive for more than one pesticide. So, though celery is one food whose price has recently risen, it's worth it to find it grown organically.
