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.
