bokashi = fermented organic matter
Basically, bokashi is about applying microbes and organic matter to soil.
The bokashi method is the use of microbes to ferment organic matter.
A goal with bokashi is to build living soil => self-sustaining, self-balancing soil.
The overall purpose goes beyond soil and into environmental applications.

The Bokashi Method to Prep Your Soil 12/14/2024 Sat 1-4pm

By Admin, 19 October, 2024

Saturday, December 14, 2024
1 pm – 4 pm
at Down to Earth Garden, 546 E 12th St (by Ave B) [map]

We will cover application guidelines on the bokashi method for preparing your soil whether in late fall, during the winter, or early spring.

We will make Activated EM (i.e., the bokashi microbes, aka bokashi spray) which is one of the main microbial applications to soil and organic matter (including fall leaves, plant clippings, twigs/branches, and food waste).

Down to Earth Garden (a GreenThumb community garden) has had a combined bokashi composting system with El Sol Brillante since the fall of 2009.

Co-sponsored by LUNGS (Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens), lungsnyc.org, and El Sol Brillante, elsolbrillante.org.
