The Story of Garbage Enzymes-GUI

After my last post about Composting, I want to share about how to make fruit waste become utensil cleaner, fertilizer, etc. Happy reading :))

The story of Garbage Enzymes…

Garbage enzyme is a multi-purpose solution made from the process of breaking down organic wastes. This is a good way of turning kitchen waste into useful materials instead of letting them end up in waste dump!

How to make garbage enzymes

Step 1: prepare materials (ratio 1:3:10)

For example if you’re using a 5 litres plastic or glass container, you would need:

300g of brown sugar (ratio 1)

900g uncooked kitchen wastes eg. Fruit peels, vegetable scraps (NO MEAT!) (ratio3)

3000ml water (ratio 10)

Step 2: Mix brown sugar, fruit/vegetable scraps and the water in the plastic/ glass container. Shake well!

Step 3:  Leave containers in a shaded, cool, dry place. Open the cap to release gas once a day for the 1^st month. Recap the container to prevent files from getting in! For the 2^nd and 3^rd months, release gas builds up whenever necessary

Your Garbage Enzymes will be ready for use after 3 months!

(Leftover scraps after finishing the solution can be composted and used in planting your herbs and vegetables for food… completing our Food Cycle)
