Bokashi in and around New York City

bokashi = fermented organic matter 
In essence, bokashi is about applying microbes and organic matter to soil. 
The bokashi method uses microbes to ferment organic matter. 
A goal with bokashi is to build living soil => self-sustaining, self-balancing soil. 
Bokashi is more than just about food waste. 
It goes beyond soil and into environmental applications.
