Product can be used with the Bokashi kitchen bucket. Additional information about Effective Microorganisms The Bokashi bucket in which we ferment kitchen waste is the end product of years of research by Japanese professor Teruo Higa. He discovered that good bacteria can be activated by administering Effective Microorganisms. In doing so, he distances himself from current agricultural techniques that are based on killing harmful micro-organisms with large quantities of chemicals. With Effective Microorganisms, Professor Higa has discovered that good bacteria revive and suppress harmful bacteria. EM is based on research and experience and is used worldwide in professional agriculture and horticulture. Effective Microorganisms ensure balance in the areas of environment, health and food supply. EM is a composition of various micro-organisms, each with a specific task. This includes yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. They all occur in the wild. EM is all about activating the good bacteria, instead of killing them with chemicals as is common. In the Bokashi starter, the main ingredient is wheat bran that has been fermented with EM-Active. This can be recognized by a sweet and sour smell, comparable to the fermentation of wine and beer. Product specifications Bokashi starter - wheat bran with EM - 2kg Item description Bokashi starter - wheat bran with EM - 2kg Item number 8717677724093 Version 2kg Product type Bokashi Starter Country of origin Netherlands What is Bokashi? Bokashi is the Japanese word for "well-fermented organic matter". The organic materials are packaged airtight. This allows a fermentation process to take place, producing useful metabolic products from micro-organisms. This preservation technique preserves the energy in the product. Just like sauerkraut, the Bokashi has a higher nutritional value than the non-fermented organic substances. Bokashi is suitable as a soil improver and is a source of nutrition for micro-organisms that live in the soil. These therefore settle permanently in the soil, multiply and dominate over the harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi present. Traditionally, Bokashi is used in Japan to increase microbial diversity in the soil and to provide plants with bioactive nutrients, such as growth hormones, antibiotics, vitamins and amino acids. This gives plants more essential energy and greater resistance to harmful bacteria and fungi. The neutral micro-organisms that first chose the previously predominant harmful micro-organisms in a disease-causing soil will now join the effective micro-organisms of EM. A disease-causing soil thus becomes a disease-suppressing soil. Within agriculture and horticulture, this is the most effective, sustainable way to get more benefit from the soil. Bokashi starter: Basic product for your own soil improver. To help you make the unique soil improver yourself, a basic product has been developed, called Bokashi starter. The main component is wheat bran (a conditioned residual product from industry), which has been fermented with EM Active. The beneficial microorganisms from the EM Active have converted the bran into a high-quality fermented product with a remarkable sweet and sour smell. The Bokashi starter is a solid product and is preferable to the EM Active liquid for the production of GFT Bokashi. With EM Active there is a chance that the moisture content of the GFT Bokashi becomes too high. For this reason there is also designed a special kitchen bucket that can drain excess moisture, the so-called Bokashi Kitchen Bucket. With the help of Bokashi starter you can turn your own organic waste into a soil improver that promotes nutrition, structure, water and air balance and life in the soil.
