EM-5 Now Available through BuildASoil.com 

Formula EM-5 is a versatile tool in your garden and is typically home made. We realized that most gardeners needed Formula EM-5 when it was already too late for them to start brewing it all up and fermenting it. After we realized this we set out to create a product that would only include the very best ingredients and be shelf stable. Below we provide the recipe to make your own for free but have found that most people prefer to purchase our Pre-Made and Shelf stable version instead.

Ingredients in our Formula EM-5:

Purified Water, Organic EM-1, Organic Apple Juice Concentrate, Organic Grape Alcohol, Organic Yucca Extract, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil. This is safe to spray on flowers when diluted and is best used throughout the growing season.

Formula (EM5) RECIPE for home made:

As always, we are giving you the recipe to make your own spectacular homemade plant wash. The fermentation extracts properties out of plant materials and the alcohol and retains them in the liquid. The EM1 in the recipe is the fermentation catalyst. This is an all-natural concoction that can be made by anyone and is not harmful to humans or animals. It combines water, EM1, a distilled spirit, molasses, and vinegar. The most successful programs with BAS Plant Wash involve alternating its applications with Activated EM1 and EMFPE. The essential oils that are the active ingredient in the BAS Plant Wash are exempt from EPA registration as a minimum risk pesticide.


The formula for one gallon of EM5 is as follows (1:1:1:1:20):

  1. 3/4 C EM1
  2. 3/4 C Molasses
  3. 3/4 C Vinegar (white or apple cider)
  4. 3/4 C distilled alcohol (vodka, whiskey, tequila)
  5. Add some other plant material (fresh hot peppers or garlic...or fresh herbs that have known pesticide properties like mint leaves, lavender, eucalyptus, mella luca, neem, etc.)
  6. Fill the gallon container with warm water (110-120ºF)
  7. Seal and ferment until pH goes below 4.0

Spray EM5 alternately with EM1 or Fermented Plant Extract through a hose-end sprayer.

Often people will set up an informal program as follows (Diluting the AEM1, EM5, or EM FPE with 500 parts water):

Week One: Apply AEM1, 1 gallon for 1/2 acre property
Week Two: Apply EM5, 1 gallon for 1/2 acre property
Week Three: Apply EM FPE, 1 gallon for 1/2 acre property
Week Four: Apply AEM1, 1 gallon for 1/2 acre property


This pattern is repeated throughout the growing season.

Directions:

Use 1 ounce per gallon for normal foliar spray use in container gardens.

Use up to 8 ounces per gallon for problems such as the growth of algae, odor-causing bacteria, and mold stains.

Use as general house hold cleaner for any purpose.

Highly recommend!!
I honestly cannot put words how much this stuff has helped my sunburn. It smells good, instantly make the burn feel better, and lasts a long time. If you need something, that’s a little bit better than aloe vera 10 out of 10 would recommend this one!!!

URGENT NOTE: Test in a small area first! Worked, but I'm covered in a rash from contact dermatitis.
You may want to test this stuff on a small area first before slathering it on. I had a bit of sunburn on my face and after showering, applied the gel and it worked great! Then.....contact dermatitis. My whole face blew up in a rash. Unfortunately, this didn't happen until the second day and I had already used the gel on my arms and legs as well. My face has cleared up, but the rest of me looks like I rolled around in poison ivy. I want to scratch my skin off. Pics don't do it justice. This is day 4 of the rash breaking out, so it's cleared up a little and I plan to borderline OD on benadryl this evening before I scratch my skin off. I wish I wasn't allergic, because it truly did work for my sunburn. I've not peeled at all and I was rather crispy.

This stuff works!
My wife and I just got back from Cancun and after being at the pool/beach for 6-8 hours every day, we ended up a little burned. We used sunscreen, but still ended up a bit burned. This stuff was a lifesaver! Took the sting out of the burn and after about a day the redness turned to tan. Definitely buy this!

Soak It All In!
Used this for our trip to Mexico in February 2026 to Huatulco. Wow, That place is hot!! I love the sun and usually I don’t burn. I may go red, but it softens to a brown. My husband on the other hand is Dutch so we have 2 colours: porcelain white and lobster red! This concoction was wonderful. It aided in cooling the burn and the menthol felt very refreshing and soaked in quickly. I didn’t feel any residue, and I know our skin was well nourished. I bought my first bottle through Amazon in Canada. But looking for more, I checked out Amazon in the US. Even after the exchange and shipping, I actually got this product at a more convenient cost through the US. I would highly recommend this product.
