Just had to share this excellent reference site. There’s a long list of documents (in English) on a lot of different EM applications — agriculture, animal husbandry, aquaculture, construction… Knowledge is growing in all of these areas and while much of it is widespread and in many different languages, you can start to see howContinue reading “Good spot to find EM reference material!”

Urban gardening. In bread crates!
A couple of months ago I wrote about a project in Berlin that really inspired me.

White Christmas…
So if you were dreaming of a white Christmas this is how it would have looked! Pure unspoilt paradise, but so unbelievably cold. Hope you all have a wonderful New Year — and may it be green start to finish!
Bokashi in a bag! Perfect for Christmas leftovers
There’s something I’ve been wondering about for a long time: can you ferment Bokashi in a plastic bag? So I’ve been testing it over the last months. And I have to say I’m quite excited about the result. Because it works every bit as well as a bucket once you get the hang of it.Continue reading “Bokashi in a bag! Perfect for Christmas leftovers”
