Black (brown) sugar is one of the ingredients needed for making garbage enzyme.
This kitchen waste is another ingredient used for the production of garbage enzyme.
These bottles contain kitchen waste with black (brown) sugar and water. Fermentation will take place in the bottles for 3 months. Then after filtration and removal of the residue, garbage enzyme is obtained. The residue can be used again for a new batch of production by adding fresh garbage. The residue can also be dried, then blended and buried in the ground as a fertilizer.
Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand. Garbage for making enzyme does not include paper, plastic, metal or glass materials. Avoid oily cooked food, fish or meat residue. Orange peel, lemon peel or pandan leave will produce better scent. The ideal colour of garbage enzyme is dark brown. Add in same amount of brown sugar to re-ferment if the enzyme turns black. It may have white, black or brown layer on top of the enzyme, ignore it. If you encounter worms in the container, leave it for a while and close the cover tightly. If you have not gather enough kitchen waste, you may fill up the container gradually. The 3 months fermentation period start from the last day you add in kitchen waste.
1. Leave some space for fermentation.
2. Make sure the container is airtight.
3. Release the bottle cap at least once a day for the first few weeks to let out built-up gas; gently shake the bottle to mix the garbage; then tighten cap again. (More gas will be emitted during the first few days. Once there is not much gas emitted, you don't have to do this everyday. This also depends on the size of the container and room temperature.)
Uses of Garbage Enzyme
Garbage enzyme has many uses for the environment, agriculture and even in homes.
