TeraGanix TCM Plant Growth, Microbial Inoculant Concentrate (1 Btl = 32 Gal), Soil Conditioner, Root Enhancer, Liquid Probiotic for Soils & Plants, Seed Germination, Garden, Lawn Care (32 fl oz)

This is not so expensive when you factor out that you only mix one tablespoon per gallon. I have used this company's product for years, and it is absolutely AMAZING how well it helped everything to grow. It grew grass where grass would hardly grow because there was almost no nutrients in the soil since we cut off the top of a hill to build the house. Also it was clay soil! After adding this, the ground cover began to grow very well. I began to use it on everything: Ornamentals, vegetables, trees, everything! It is especially good for transplanting things. My expert gardener friend warned me that certain plants would not transplant well. I transplanted them anyway using this product, and the transplants were successful. I am a huge fan of this product based on the years I have used it and the results I have seen. I had a huge property and planted thousands of plants over several years and saw the results that this gives on a variety of plants and trees. Tip: buy the gallon size. It is half price of the quart size when you multiply it out! I am not given any compensation whatsoever for this review. This is a product I believe in and it is well worth the money. You can buy the quart size to start, and once you see the results, next time by the gallon size!

Keeps my garden in high gear!

i have been using EM1 for six years now and tell everyone about its many uses. Currently my nonprofit is using it for experimental hydroponics systems being developed at Arizona State University in the EPICS student engineering program. At home I tested it first on houseplants to produce LOTS more blooms than before, small scale food gardening in soil, making bokashi with it and using that in composting kitchen garbage for the food garden, and spraying it on my heirloom tomato plants to get rid of white flies (too acidic for them to lay eggs). I even used it to help a 5th grade student grow a comparison garden to win a blue ribbon in her science fair project showing how much it helped grow plants bigger and produce more than the control group of same food plants. After reading "An Earth Saving Revolution" by Dr. Teruo Higa who developed it, I now tell others about its uses around the world. I'm now going to explore regenerating deserts by softening the rock hard soil here in Arizona and other desert locations to develop swales and grow food forests. After testing it in multiple uses I highly recommend it. It can be shared with others by using the freely available recipe shown on YouTube to stretch it by very simply fermenting with blackstrap molasses and water.

TeraGanix EM-1 is a must-have for any gardener. This microbial inoculant concentrate is super easy to use and has transformed my garden. With just a small amount, my plants are healthier, stronger, and more resistant to pests. Plus, it's eco-friendly and works with any gardening method. If you want a garden that'll make your neighbors envious of your garden, give EM-1 a try

Seems to work very well. I discovered this product when reading The Holistic Orchard, by Michael Philips. I make 1 gallon of activated EMs using 3/4 cup of this bottle, 3/4 cup molasses, and 2.5 tbs fulvic acid (for shelf life) and 110 deg water per the instructions on their website. 1 quart of EM1 lasts me 1 year for my 1/10 acre orchard. I spray almost every edible with this mixed in Philip’s Nutritional spray (neem, fish hydrolysate, seaweed extract, Comfrey tea, etc. plus some Epsom salt), after insuring I’ve saturated my fruit trees. It takes me about an hour, every 10-14 days in the spring to mix and spray. But it is worth it to me to have organic and fungicide free food for my family and friends. The last bottle said it expired Oct 2018, but was still fresh with a PH around 3 in Apr 2019.

I used this in the garden and around the chicken coop. In the garden for helping to build the soil and around the chicken coop for odor. IT works incredibly well for both of these tasks - verdant garden growth, regrowth of grass, and no odor in the ground. Plants that were in pots and slow growing burst into life. IT is a fantastic product. But a warning. Three times amazon has shipped me bottles that were expiring within a month. It took hours of chatting with them to try and get it resolved, which was incredibly disappointing - including them telling me to discard the expiring bottle and then them rebilling it to me because they didn't note that it was to be discarded. I still feel very frustrated and slighted by Amazon. I still haven't gotten a second bottle because of this mishap because I'm kinda convinced they will send me an expiring product.

I give it three stars for the purchase experience and for the great amount of excellent information available on TeraGanix's website about how to use it and how to activate it to extend the amount. I have just begun using it, so the jury is still out about whether or not it will actually perform as I hope. UPDATE: I purchased this product in July 2014 and a comment about my review from another Amazon user inspired me to provide some feedback about my experience with it. I originally rated it three stars as explained above, but I am raising it to five because this product has been excellent. I garden in central Florida, in very nutrient poor, sandy soil. In addition to regularly amendments with compost and manure, I was seeking a product that would provide nutrients in a liquid form and would contribute to a healthier soil structure. That is what this product promises and that is what it has delivered, for me anyway. My clay soil has actually begun to look like rich loam and to retain that structure through several seasons. This was NOT the case before. I am also finding worms when I dig in my garden. That was not happening before. I also use the EM-1 as a foliar feed and am finally enjoying vibrant plant growth during these brutal late-spring/pre-summer days when most plants struggle. Also, not the case before. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but considering it feeds both above and below ground and a little goes a long way, I feel it is worth it.

Great for making Bokashi composting system better. Check internet for measurements of water, molasses and EM. Add to old grain, bran, barley, sawdust and even shredded paper to make a live compost for plants

Great stuff easy to activate EM-1 in seven days. I sprayed and added it to my feeding and two days latter I noticed a difference in color of leaf and growth of the plant.

Have been making EM fermented for plants and smelly sewage drains. Big bottle will last me for a long time.
