EM-1 Mudball Test

Dog-Run Waste

Experiment was started on 8/27/10.

Waste from a dog run including, sand with urine and feces.

“0” = no EM mudball (control)

“1” = one EM mudball

“2” = two EM mudballs

Test by Shig Matsukawa (NYC EM-1), Barbara and Susan at El Sol Brilliante Garden, NYC.

The latest observations from 10-12-2010.

The 10-12 observations (last photo) shows that the jar with 2 mudballs has the best improvement so far.

– the “0” jar still has a strong urine odor, the bottom half is very dark, and floating stuff looks like oil/polluted scum.

– the “1” jar has a weaker but still noticeable odor (similar to a wastewater treatment facility), the bottom was clearer than “0”, and the surface had some matter but more of algae-like rather than polluted.

– the “2” jar was the clearest of the 3, undetectable smell!!, and the surface looked more alive with algae rather than polluted-dead.
