Namaskar Shashi -

For EM resources and technical advice in India, contact
Sanjay Agarwal at Maple Organics.

mapleorganics@sancharnet.in

Maple Organics is the EM distributor for India, based in
New Dehli and Derha Dun.

Keep in mind that in India compost is being made with EM, with BD,
with Worms, and with aerobic methods such as NADEP.

You have a lot of resources and examples to draw from in India.
Compost piles made with coir will need a good amount of manure
to balance the C:N ratio.
Best regards,

Steve Diver
