We realized that most gardeners needed Formula EM-5 when it was already too late for them to start brewing it all up and fermenting it. After we realized this we set out to create a product that would only include the very best ingredients and be shelf stable. Below we provide the recipe to make your own for free but have found that most people prefer to purchase our Pre-Made and Shelf stable \u003cspan\u003eversion instead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIngredients in our Formula EM-5:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurified Water, Organic EM-1, Organic Apple Juice Concentrate, Organic Grape Alcohol, Organic Yucca Extract, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil.

The fermentation extracts properties out of plant materials and the alcohol and retains them in the liquid. The EM1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in the recipe is the fermentation catalyst. This is an all-natural concoction that can be made by anyone and is not harmful to humans or animals. It combines water, EM1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a distilled spirit, molasses, and vinegar. The most successful programs with BAS Plant Wash involve alternating its applications with Activated EM1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and EMFPE. The essential oils that are the active ingredient in the BAS Plant Wash are exempt from EPA registration as a minimum risk pesticide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"article-content\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe formula for one gallon of EM5 is as follows (1:1:1:1:20): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3\/4 C EM1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3\/4 C Molasses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3\/4 C Vinegar (white or apple cider)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3\/4 C distilled alcohol (vodka, whiskey, tequila)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd some other plant material (fresh hot peppers or garlic...or fresh herbs that have known pesticide properties like mint leaves, lavender, eucalyptus, mella luca, neem, etc.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFill the gallon container with warm water (110-120ºF)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeal and ferment until pH goes below 4.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpray EM5 alternately with EM1 or Fermented Plant Extract through a hose-end sprayer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften people will set up an informal program as follows (Diluting the AEM1, EM5, or EM FPE with 500 parts water):\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeek One: Apply AEM1, 1 gallon for 1\/2 acre property\u003cbr\u003eWeek Two: Apply EM5, 1 gallon for 1\/2 acre property\u003cbr\u003eWeek Three: Apply EM FPE, 1 gallon for 1\/2 acre property\u003cbr\u003eWeek Four: Apply AEM1, 1 gallon for 1\/2 acre property\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pattern is repeated throughout the growing season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirections:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse 1 ounce per gallon for normal foliar spray use in container gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse up to 8 ounces per gallon for problems such as the growth of algae, odor-causing bacteria, and mold stains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse as general house hold cleaner for any purpose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"BuildASoil","offers":[{"title":"Quart","offer_id":47972112302258,"sku":"ecl1788064496278","price":19.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 Gallon","offer_id":47972112335026,"sku":"uml1788064496279","price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":47972112367794,"sku":"zil1788064496280","price":34.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/2419\/8322\/files\/formula-em-5---all-natural-garden-cleaning-concentrate_1.png?v=1788064500"},{"product_id":"thrive-probiotics-yah-whey","title":"Thrive Probiotics Yah-Whey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYah Whey by Thrive Probiotics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRevolutionary liquid probiotic crafted from the Whey of Kefir\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWant bigger bottles?
