Using Bokashi in The Garden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Hi Folks! In this video we wanted to show you another use of the Bokashi Fermented kitchen waste. This ferment is made from items that you normally don't put in a regular compost pile such as meat scraps, bones, dairy refuse etc. Using LAB in a 1:20 dilution we inoculate the waste before packing into our bokashi buckets. In this video we show how we can use it in the garden and just how fast and complete the materials are decomposed.

Before I was introduced to no dig and no till I was practising the burying of kitchen scraps all over my garden. What I did I would chop the scraps into small pieces, cut papers and bury them. I would irrigate the soil twice per week and cover it. When the time comes for planting everything has disappeared and my soil is fluffy and black. It helped me because I didn't have enough money to buy fertilizer and my vegies grew up big and healthy.
you can still do it with no dig, just add a layer of cardboard on top, and top of that some soil/compost
@@thegreatest3651 Yes, that's for sure. I do practice no dig now and it helps me a lot because I don't do that hard work I used to before. Thanks!!
Thank you for your knowledge. Thank you for showing us to use bokashi for going green. I didn't have a father to show me the things to procreate. Your good people. Lord bless you and yours. You people in California please learn from him. He is the Advenger of the Earth. 💞🙌🏾🙏🏾
I'm just starting my bokashi buckets this year 🤩 Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Thanks for the tips on dry environment. I'm in central high desert oregon, need to do that.
Another excellent video. I've been binge watching your Korean natural farming videos after the initial aerobic digester one. I would love to know your perspective on how things grew in this bed after burying the bokashi. I only bury Bokashi in the beds that I harvest sweet potatoes and potatoes from but have been wondering if the disruptive nature of the dig is worth the pay off of burying the Bokashi in the other beds? Wondering bc it seems like the easiest way to manage the Bokashi pre compost (although I'm in the process of trying to make one of your aerobic digesters now!)
After trying the burying techniques I have found that it really didn't have much affect either way on my soil which already had a fair amount of organic material in it, I agree for running a no-dig method I think the soil disruption probably isn't worth it. I believe at this point that either using a aerobic digester/soil factory method if you don't have access to a compost pile system or using it in a regular compost pile during the composting process is probably the best method. I have also seen reports where people have added it to their worm beds too.
My beds freeze rock solid in winter- East coast zone 7a. After 3 weeks I layer with garden soil in large bind tiles Spring.
Good to see. re digging in the bokashi and no dig. How about putting the bokashi ferment on top of the bed then mulch with 4in/10cm of urban waste compost. At least that way you preserve your no dig soil structure. ??
This is a cool idea! I want to try it this spring in our veggiegarden! Best Wishes from Silke from Bavaria
That's an interesting try. Although my urban waste compost has issues with being a bit woody and retaining moisture. But maybe using homemade would work better.
@@silkebaumhauer107 have you guys tried this method for no-dig bokashi?
Lots of really great info ! I been learning about KNF from you and a few others on here . I was wondering your thoughts on trying to grow corn using just KNF because it takes a lot nitrogen to make nice big ears ? I have grew a nice patch of corn using just my urine . I been bored this winter so I'm messing with fermenting urine , wood ashes in biochar and a few other things . What I have found a little crazy you can't smell urine it smells kinda sweet lol . I'm not sure how it will work but I can always just add it to our compost . Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday !
Good idea. They'll probably love it. I've been learning and experimenting too. Did you put LAB in it? I did that last year with LAB and wood ash with great results. I haven't grown corn yet, but I'm thinking about doing it this year.
@@laneeacannon1450 Yes I used it from sauerkraut because I had it on hand
Becareful using urine to fertilize the one who's urine it is need to be completely free of any pathogen or disease
@@jktriple_g_129 I been using urine for over 20 years and I never had issue so far .
@@AaricHale u must be pretty healthy to use it and have all nutrition optimal
Have you tried making JLF using food scraps? Just wondering if it's easier than making bokashi. Would love to know your thoughts.
Wonder what JMS would do in the bucket?
@James Triplett I did an experiment of using the LAB plus sprinkling compost/leaf mold soil on each layer or addition. I noticed no difference in the fermentation product other than more white mold on top. Basically within the kitchen waste the LAB becomes dominant and I'm guessing using straight JMS which has a high protozoa and bacillus type bacteria might not lacto ferment as well. Protozoa being mostly anaerobes might keep the system out of balance and putrification may gain the upper hand. In other words we might just create a bucket of food waste anaerobic compost... Which takes much longer to become useful
