Happy Farmer™ Bokashi - 1 Gallon
Product Description
Bokashi has many uses as an efficient microbe.
Traditional uses include as a 1) compost starter, 2) fermentation starter, 3) soil conditioner and as a 4) beneficial microbial inoculate.
Ingredients: Water, wheat bran, rice bran, molasses, and efficient microbes.
Bokashi is made by fermenting wheat bran with molasses and (see below for specific instructions) and has been traditionally used by Japanese farmers as a soil amendment to increase the nutrient level and microbial diversity of the soil.
Bokashi can be used as a microbial inoculant in situations where a liquid inoculant would be less effective such as in composting food waste and in compost toilets. When using with Happy Farmer Kitchen Composter: Use one bag of Bokashi for each Happy Farmer Kitchen Composter. To reduce the fermentation time and create an even more powerful compost, just add 1 tablespoon of Terra powder to a two pound bag of Bokashi.
When used directly in soil: In general, apply HAPPY FARMER BOKASHI at a rate of 200 grams per square meter on the surface of the soil. For soils that have low fertility or little organic matter, use up to 1 kiligram per square meter. Sprinkle in house plants one or two times per month.
When you use HAPPY FARMER BOKASHI to maintain high populations of beneficial and efficient microbes in the soil, they will:
Promote germination, flowering, fruiting and ripening in plants
Improve physical, chemical and biological environments in the soil and help to eliminate soil-borne pathogens and pests
Enhance the photosynthetic capacity of plants and ensure better germination and plant establishment
Increase the effectiveness of organic materials as fertilizers
