GARBAGE ENZYME!!!

We are so used to cutting vegetables, peeling fruits and throwing the rotten leaves and peels away. Have you ever thought of how to make use of this perishable waste? The ‘easiest’ and ‘laziest’ way is to dump them into a pot, let them rot and throw the rotten, black, slimy paste onto plants or fruit trees as fertilizers.

There is actually another way of making use of this perishable waste. Think: “You can turn waste into a thousand and one uses.” How can that be possible, rite?

I’ll show you how. Then, I’ll tell you how to use them and at the same time, preserve the environment and lessen the impact of global warming. See? One good thing leads to another……. Furthermore, cost is minimal.

What is garbage enzyme? It is a complex solution obtained from fermentation of fresh kitchen waste (fruits, vegetables) together with brown sugar and water. This is developed by Dr Rosukon of Thailand. She has actively pursued research in making enzyme solution work and encourages people to make it so as to change the climate. Dr Rosukon started it and we need to continue it.


How to make Garbage Enzyme:

Things you need:-
 A plastic container
 Brown sugar (unprocessed sugar)
 Organic/kitchen waste
 Water

Ratio of brown sugar, kitchen waste and water:
!!! Just remember - 1:3:10 !!!! The magic numbers are 1:3:10.
1 kg of sugar
3 kgs of kitchen waste
10 litres of water

If your container is smaller, then 300 gm sugar, 900 gm kitchen waste and 3 litre water. Got it?

In a big container, throw in kitchen waste (cut into smaller pieces), brown sugar, water and close the lid. Simple? Yes, it is. Remember to open the lid and let the air out daily for the first week to let out the ………gas…. If not, you might find your container had expanded due to the production of gas as the waste ferments inside the container. If you happen to see any worms around the rim of the container, don’t worry, just throw in some more brown sugar and close the lid.

That’s it! Done! Leave it for three months and extract the solution which can be used in one thousand and one ways.

After 3 months, extract the solution from the residue. The residue can be used as fertilizers. The solution is actually multi-purpose. It can be used for anything. However, it needs to be diluted with water and mixed into cleaning detergent for an effective clean. Example, mix enzyme with shampoo and water and shampoo your pet dogs. Pets will have more hair and the hair texture is more silky and lustrous. Sound like a shampoo commercial, ain't it? Well, it's true. For use as a deodorizer, mix enzyme with an antiseptic and water and spray. It kills odour. I find mixing enzyme with clorox and water and spray onto bathroom walls and toilet bowls makes cleaning bathrooms a much easier job. It can also be used to spray garden plants. But a word of caution, do not use hot water to dilute the enzyme. It will disturb the enzyme solution.

It’s all about you and your effort to make Mother Earth a greener and healthier place for you and your future generations. From the day that you started making garbage enzyme, you are already improving greenhouse gas and ease global warming. When you open the container, you will smell something sweet, sour and fermented, a scent similar to the smell of alcohol. It’s not unpleasant. This smell means that the enzyme is releasing ozone gas which can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and reduces the heavy metal that traps heat in the cloud.

This should be a joint effort where everyone makes enzyme and use it. The more this garbage enzyme gets into drains and rivers, the cleaner will be our rivers and seas and thereby saving the earth. Remember, it saves money too by cutting down costs of expensive chemical detergents!

Pass the word around! Get everyone involved!
