[Digestion] EM Effective Microorganisms and AD

[Paul Harris]

G'day Wayne,

As has been commented elsewhere any attempt to use "designer" microbes 
in an anaerobic digester is likely to be swamped by the microbial 
ecosystem being fed to the digester unless the feed is sterile/sterilised.

My attitude (almost certainly not shared by all group members, but I 
hope we can agree to differ!) is that nature has sorted out a system 
over thousands of years and we are not likely to make it hugely better 
by a bit of fiddling. It is a bit like the argument between artificial 
and organic fertilisers - organic has a lot of micreonutrients missing 
from synthetic formulas and similarly EM may not have the synergies 
needed for AD.

Happy digesting,

HOOROO
