OK, so I have a soft spot for stories from New Zealand, but the thing is they’re doing a really good job downunder in getting kids involved in Bokashi composting and growing. Here’s a nice little story from the Scoop news site in NZ talking about how kids at the Te Kainga Whaiora Childrens HealthContinue reading “Bokashi kids in Gisborne”

Bokashi in sunken beds
Here we’re busy building raised beds to get things to grow in this arctic climate (and they are definitely the way to go. Warm, well-drained soil and no digging or weeding required — perfect!) But in a decidedly warmer and drier part of the world, somewhere in the US, these guys have made a massiveContinue reading “Bokashi in sunken beds”
Bokashi thread with kiwi flavour
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”
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”
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”
Bokashi in Shangri-La!
Just the word Shangri-La conjures up some long-lost dreams of paradise, but in real life its a hotel chain in Malaysia. Which is working hard with EM and Bokashi to improve its environmental efforts. Recently the chain’s Tanung Aru hotel resort and spa on Kotakinabalu (yes, I know this is turning into a hide-and-seek geographyContinue reading “Bokashi in Shangri-La!”
Bokashi campaign in Yorkshire
 Yorkshire Council is doing it’s bit to help locals get their food waste back into the soil where it belongs. The less food waste going to landfill the better — for everyone. The deal in the council’s East Riding is that local homeowners get a subsidy on wormeries, kitchen caddies, home composters and bokashiContinue reading “Bokashi campaign in Yorkshire”
Bokashi in Kiama
Kiama is a great spot by the beach not so far south of Sydney. My aunt and uncle live there, it’s the ideal retirement spot for them with beautiful beaches they often walk along and some spectacular rainforest in the hills behind the coast. Best of all, not the manic daily life of the city. AndContinue reading “Bokashi in Kiama”
Going green, green, greener in San Franscisco
Strange that I just read a story about flower power in connection with San Francisco in the sixties. Now there’s a new kind of green peace happening on the streets there. Compost to the people. Or rather, people to the compost. Breaking news that I picked up on Jonathan’s US food waste site is thatContinue reading “Going green, green, greener in San Franscisco”
Bokashi in the Philippines
I’ve picked up a few bits of news recently from the Philippines about the inroads being made by Bokashi and EM. Partly I think they can be put down to someone somewhere being on the ball and getting the information out to the press, but that doesn’t always have to be such a bad thing.Continue reading “Bokashi in the Philippines”
