I wondered if bokashi and EM was as wonderful as people said, so I bought a bottle of EM and tried it. I wasn't a good scientist as far a writing down the details, but here are the results. The two pepper plants were planted from the same six pack about two weeks ago. I put a pine cone in front of each plant to help you distinguish them from the other random seedlings I need to move or weed. The one on the left was planted on top of fermented scraps. The one on the right was planted in regular clay soil. I was amazed at how the one on the left had wider, greener leaves and looked healthier/bigger than the other plant that looked identical to it only two weeks ago when I planted them.

I would invite others to try it out and post pictures of with and without EM.
