Summary

In this video, the creator demonstrates how to make a homemade compost activator, known as MOL (Micro-Organism Liquid), to speed up the composting process. MOL is made by fermenting materials rich in carbohydrates, glucose, and microorganisms, such as banana peels, rice washing water, shrimp paste, and coconut sugar water. The video explains the benefits of MOL, including its use as a compost accelerator, organic fertilizer, and pesticide. The creator shares step-by-step instructions, emphasizing the importance of proper fermentation, temperature control, and the use of local materials, offering a simple and sustainable solution for organic farming.

Takeaways

• 😀 Compost activators can be made at home using natural ingredients like rice washing water, banana peel, and shrimp paste.
• 😀 The abbreviation MOL stands for 'Local Microorganism,' a fermented material containing microorganisms that benefit plants and soil.
• 😀 MOL serves three main purposes: as a compost activator, liquid organic fertilizer, and organic pesticide.
• 😀 Microorganisms involved in MOL fermentation include fungi, bacteria, and viruses, some of which are beneficial to humans and plants.
• 😀 Key ingredients for making MOL include carbohydrates (e.g., rice washing water, cassava), glucose (e.g., coconut sugar), and microorganisms (e.g., shrimp paste, stale rice).
• 😀 Microorganisms for MOL can be sourced from animals (like golden snails or cow urine), plants, or commercially available products like EM4 or Yakult.
• 😀 To make MOL, ingredients are fermented in bottles for about 1-2 weeks in a warm, dark place, allowing air bubbles to form during fermentation.
• 😀 After fermentation, MOL can be used as a starter for making more MOL by adding fresh carbohydrates and glucose.
• 😀 When using MOL as a compost activator, it should be diluted with water (e.g., 1 part MOL to 30 parts water).
• 😀 MOL can also be used as a liquid fertilizer or organic pesticide, with different dilution rates for each application (e.g., 1:50 for fertilizer, 1:60 for pesticide).
• 😀 The size of the ingredients and temperature of the environment affect the speed of MOL fermentation, with warmer temperatures accelerating the process.

Q & A

What is a compost activator and why is it important?

A compost activator is a substance that helps speed up the composting process by introducing beneficial microorganisms. It accelerates the breakdown of organic materials in compost, making it decompose faster and more efficiently.

What does MOL stand for and what is its function?

MOL stands for 'Micro-Organism Local' and refers to a mixture that contains beneficial microorganisms. It functions as a compost activator, a liquid organic fertilizer, and can even serve as an organic pesticide.

What are the key ingredients in making MOL?

The three main ingredients in making MOL are carbohydrates (for energy), glucose (for easier digestion by microorganisms), and a source of microorganisms (such as shrimp paste or stale rice).

What are some sources of carbohydrates that can be used to make MOL?

Some carbohydrate sources include rice washing water, cassava, wheat, banana tree trunks, banana peels, potatoes, bran, and noni.

Can you list some sources of microorganisms for making MOL?

Sources of microorganisms can include golden snails, shrimp paste, stale rice, cow or rabbit urine, Yakult, yogurt, fish, and moldy bamboo leaves. Even products like EM4 can be used.

How do you make MOL at home using shrimp paste and stale rice?

To make MOL, you mix ingredients such as banana peels, shrimp paste, stale rice, rice washing water, and coconut sugar water in a bottle. After mixing, ferment the bottle in a warm place for about a week or two, ensuring to open it daily to release air bubbles.

Why is it important to close the bottle during the MOL fermentation process?

Closing the bottle is essential because the fermentation process is anaerobic, meaning it does not require oxygen. Keeping it closed ensures the correct conditions for microbial activity and prevents contamination.

How does temperature affect the MOL fermentation process?

Temperature significantly impacts the speed of fermentation. A warm environment speeds up the process, while cooler temperatures (such as in winter) can slow it down, potentially causing fermentation to take longer.

How should MOL be diluted when used as a compost activator?

For compost activation, MOL should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1 part MOL to 30 parts water. This concentration helps accelerate the composting process.

How do you use MOL as a liquid organic fertilizer or pesticide?

When using MOL as a liquid organic fertilizer, it should be diluted even further, with a ratio of 1 part MOL to 50 parts water. For pesticide purposes, it can be diluted to 1 part MOL to 60 or 70 parts water, depending on the plant's response.
