Eco enzyme is a multipurpose liquid and its applications cover household, agriculture, animal husbandry etc. It has many household uses both in the garden and the kitchen: general cleaner, air purifier, insect repellent, laundry cleaner, skincare, organic fertiliser, anti-fungal leaf spray, pond water purifier etc

Belinda will talk about how to successfully make it at home and everyone could prepare a container of ferment during the workshop. There will be also samples of finished product to take home and use straight away.

Eco-enzyme was developed by Dr. Rosukon from Thailand. She has been actively involved in enzyme research for more than 30 years and encourages people to make eco-enzyme at home to ease global warming.
