Grow-Kashi uses bran inoculated with that culture as the starter for the whole ferment. One caveat: in a four-year Swiss field trial, living EM performed no differently from sterilised EM, and the small gains seen came from the bokashi substrate rather than the organisms (Mayer et al., 2010, \u003cem\u003eApplied Soil Ecology\u003c\/em\u003e).
