Transform your garden and composting routine with your two-week-old Bokashi compost. Despite its unchanged appearance—similar to how pickled onions still look like onions—the science behind its transformation is what makes it a complete game-changer for your soil:
- Microbial Magic: LIVE Bokashi bran introduces beneficial microorganisms to your waste, kick-starting a fermentation process that breaks down the organic matter into simpler, more accessible nutrients.
- Acidic Environment: This process lowers the pH, creating an acidic setting that speeds up decomposition and wards off pathogens.
- Nutrient-Rich Soil: When added to the soil or compost, these pre-digested nutrients are readily available to plants, boosting growth and soil health.
- Ecosystem Boost: Introducing Bokashi Fermentation/Compost improves microbial diversity in the soil, leading to better structure, fertility, and overall garden resilience.
In essence, Bokashi composting turns your kitchen scraps into a superfood for your garden, enriching the soil and promoting a vibrant ecosystem below the surface.
Here’s how to use it effectively:
Here’s how to use it effectively:
- Mix with Garden Soil: Dig your fermented compost directly garden soil. This introduces beneficial microbes, speeding up decomposition and enriching the soil. Wait a couple of weeks before planting new seedlings to allow the compost to neutralise.
- Add it to Your Compost Heap: Adding your Bokashi Fermentation/Compost to your compost heap, especially in systems like the Green Johanna, injects a microbial boost that breaks down organic material faster and creates a richer compost. *This method makes Bokashi so easy to deal with at all times of the year as well.
- Wormery Integration: Feed your worms with Bokashi compost. It’s pre-digested, making it easier for worms to process and enhancing the quality of your worm castings.
- Soil Factory Method: Combine your Bokashi Fermentation/Compost with soil in a container to create a nutrient-rich mix. After a few weeks, this becomes an excellent amendment for potted plants or garden beds.
Using Bokashi compost is a straightforward way to enhance soil fertility and improve your composting process. It’s a sustainable choice that benefits your garden and the environment.
