Frequently Asked Questions
-
What's the difference between Acitvated EM and the fertilizer that I can make using Planttonix Bokashi?
When combined with plant or food matter, our Bokashi transforms these materials, fermenting them into a liquid fertilizer that is rich in nutrients. It is shelf stable and is only activated when combined with organic matter. Our Activated EM activates SOIL, unlocking the nutrients already in them.
-
How does Planttonix Activated EM increase plant vitality?
Our Activated EM works just like a probiotic that you would take for your own health, except it’s designed for plants (although you can also consume it, with benefits!).
There is a lot of new research coming out about how this could drastically change the way we use pesticides and increase plant production in a healthy, life-supportive way. To learn more about these studies, click here

How long will it take for me to see that the Activated EM is working?
You will start seeing increased vitality within about 7 days of using Planttonix activated EM.

How do I make a Bokashi bucket?
Great question! You have 2 options - with a tap, or with drainage holes. Full details here.
-
How long does Planttonix Bokashi take to decompose?
Once the contents of your Bokashi Bucket have fermented, it typically takes about 2 weeks to break down. Large volumes can take a bit longer.
Please be sure that you follow the instructions on this page so that your Bokashi fermenting works correctly. -
What does it mean to "sequester carbon"?
Carbon Sequestering is removing carbon from the atmosphere and in this case, “placing” it back in the soil.
Traditional compost piles generate heat as they oxidize carbon, which escapes into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. With our Bokashi, you are eliminating the heating process and instead fermenting your compost so that virtually all of the carbon returns to the soil where it is “sequestered” - which means “taken in”.
