Bokashi

Here at Rush Hemp Farms, we use Bo-kashi to help our plants grow. Now you can bring the soil food web to anything you grow at home.

Bokashi is a process that converts food waste and similar organic matter into a soil amendment which adds nutrients and improves soil texture. It differs from traditional composting methods in several respects. The most important are:

• The input matter is fermented by specialist bacteria, not decomposed.
• The fermented matter is fed directly to field or garden soil, without requiring further time to mature.
• As a result, virtually all input carbon, energy and nutrients enter the soil food web, having been neither emitted in greenhouse gases and heat nor leached out.
