Bokashi

Fermentative decomposition, as with Bokashi, not only breaks down the woody and fibrous materials in as little as 8 weeks, it does so while retaining almost all of the nutrients. These nutrients would normally be released into the atmosphere as harmful emissions during traditional aerobic composting or leached into water courses causing pollution.

• RETAIN MORE NUTRIENTS

• NO HARMFUL EMISSIONS

• BREAKDOWN ORGANIC MATTER

• INCREASE SOIL ORGANIC MATTER

• READY IN JUST 8 WEEKS

Bokashi is the Japanese word for “well fermented organic matter”. Bokashi is the most energy efficient way of breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients. The fermentative decomposition creates a nutrient dense end product that can be used as a soil improver.

Effective Microorganisms (EM®) added to the organic matter work by way of competitive exclusion to create an environment in which fermentative anaerobes can dominate. This dominance leads to the break down of complex organic substances into simpler soluble organic ones creating a pre-digested food for the soil.

The microbes also produce bio-active substances, like enzymes, vitamins, antimicrobials and phytonutrients which favours the development of plants and helps prevent diseases.
