E.M.

Everyday, I ask my second years, "What are we doing today?" and each day they tell me, "We don't know." because in R.G. it does not help planning ahead because something always happens to make you forget that plan and do something entirely different that day.  But...  There is one day in the week where we always do the same thing, for certain, that day is Wednesday.  Each 3rd day of the week, we spray E.M. so I've been working with this substance for almost eight weeks and I'm still not sure what it is.  What I understand so far: this is a liquid that disables flies but is harmless against humans.  You can drink it and it won't do anything to you but smelling it will make you rethink your idea of drinking it.  It smells like a brewery or a shebeen and I mean that in the worst way possible.

So the way I believe it works: this substance is sprayed onto walls and all places that flies are likely to sit on and lay their eggs on.  Now this substance makes the outside layer of the egg thin so the fly hatches earlier.  Now a fly needs time to spread it's wings and some time for them to dry.  Suddenly, it's life cycle within the egg is cut short and it comes out before it's wings are ready to spread, so they dry stuck to positions that make it impossible for the fly to fly, thus making it a walk.

EM also helps with smells so that is why we also distribute it down drains, toilets, etc...

Receive how much EM
Drains: 3-5L
Toilets: 1L
Basins: 250ml
Baths: 500ml
Showers: 500 ml
Cribs: 500ml

When spraying EM, we mix 1L with 10L of water.

Here are some pictures of me doing the EM things...

A bit clueless at first.

Practicing.

Looking pretty stupid.

Getting the hang of it.

Finally, enjoying it.
