A friend made a few bottles of garbage enzyme and gave me one last month. It had another month to go before I can use it. The organic waste was banana peel, orange peel and other fruits that she can't recall. It looked like this
 |
| 2nd month, more or less |
 |
| more than 3 month |
What happened in the bottle?
Bacteria will produce enzyme to help breakdown the fruit. That's why it looked squishy and all mushed up.
Why is making garbage enzyme is the GREEN thing to do?
What is being produced during the enzyme production?
O3 reduces heavy metals (not the music genre) in clouds. Clouds that trap a lot of heavy metals appear darker so more heat will be trapped on earth. More heat trapped means our earth get hotter (as in temperature and not physical appearance)

| the white stuff seems to be forming on top of the bottle |
NO3 is good nutrients for plants.
Why do we have to put sugar in the mix?
Sugar is food for the bacteria. Forgetting the sugar is a cruelty towards them.
Why do we have to leave for more than 3 months?
3 months is a reasonable dateline for the bacteria to finish the job. Most of the of the organic waste has been broken down after this period. the liquid is clear with less sign of activity (probably the bacteria are lazing around with nothing to do..hahaha)
What can we do with the liquid after 3 months?
Fertilizer, of course but some say cleaning agent and much much more. It maybe a good cleaning agent, and deodorant (but the smell.. phew! no thank you)

p/s ; I just made one bottle today using the leftovers of the zesty meter activity, wanna see? Click here and here for the weekly updates
