Here’s a thread on Bokashi composting that’s worth having a look at if you’re curious on what people out there in the “real world” think. Actually I think many of the postings are from New Zealand –my old homeland 🙂 but also a country that’s become a Bokashi hotspot in recent years. As you can seeContinue reading “Bokashi thread with kiwi flavour”

Greenhouse Bokashi — also a hit!
This is the result of another of winter’s Bokashi experiments. Super success and well-worth trying for anyone with a greenhouse. And with a winter season to deal with… We grow tomatoes in buckets in our greenhouse and at the end of the season there’s a lot of tired soil to get rid of. Plus allContinue reading “Greenhouse Bokashi — also a hit!”
Summer dreams — in a store nearby!
W’ve had a bit of a winter pause on our blog here, sorry about that — we’ve been snowed under on all fronts it seems. But life has returned to this stubborn part of the world and any day now the last scraps of snow will melt and we’re in the green. Relief! On theContinue reading “Summer dreams — in a store nearby!”
Bokashi in Vietnam
(The picture relates to shrimp farming) I work as a translator (Swedish to English) so I have to admit to being a real snob when it comes to machine translations. But I just changed my mind. I got curious when I picked up the following newsclip from Vietnam and was thinking of publishing here, askingContinue reading “Bokashi in Vietnam”
Snow Bokashi?
See that black bag there between the doors? That’s my latest Bokashi experiment. Snow Bokashi… Yep, you can see I’m getting desperate. Not just me but quite a lot of us up here in the frozen north, we have to find ways of making soil even in mid-winter. At the moment I can’t even findContinue reading “Snow Bokashi?”
Bokashi chooks
If there’s one thing I’d love to do when I grow up it would be to have a bunch of chooks running around the yard. We have the space, but right now looking out at all the snow my head just spins with the practicalities of it all. Build a barn? Heat it? HEAT IT??!!Continue reading “Bokashi chooks”
10 tips for reducing food waste in 2010
Pic: http://www.toonpool.com I know Bokashi is about making soil out of what you can’t eat in the kitchen. But it’s just as much about tossing less stuff. Carrot peelings are one thing but you can’t help feeling a bit embarassed when you tip what should really have been dinner into the bin. Happens to theContinue reading “10 tips for reducing food waste in 2010”
Yet another snowstorm… spring seems far off
Low level activity here on this blog. Which is not to say I haven’t been thinking about bokashi, about compost, about soil, seeds, plants and… SPRING! Not many minutes pass in a straight line without green-coloured thoughts passing through my mind. We’ve seen nothing but white now since early December. It’s like a Christmas cardContinue reading “Yet another snowstorm… spring seems far off”
Nothing but snow
We well and truly have winter here now. No garden in sight, even the fence has gone under. Christmas has been a start-to-finish snow storm, and today we tried to shovel ourselves out of the house and open up channels to the wood sheds, the outdoor laundry shed, the bokashi workshop. Dig out the car,Continue reading “Nothing but snow”
Pelle’s Bokashi buckets — in Czechoslovakia
Pelle is a Swede living in Czechoslovakia. Home for the time being is the farm where he lives with his wife and her family — ducks, geese, hens, fish, sheep and a dam or two. The sheep and hens are happily eating Bokashi these days — that’s right, kitchen scraps that have been fermented inContinue reading “Pelle’s Bokashi buckets — in Czechoslovakia”
