This is our dog Tim. He’s a Norwegian Lundehund, almost five years old now. Full of beans and a truly lovable character. Lundehunds are a breed under rescue, some 50 years ago there were only a handful left on earth, huddled on a stormy island in the Lofoten archipelago on the far NW coast ofContinue reading “Tim the dog…and his Bokashi diet”

Watch my tomatoes grow!
Gabriel the gardening angel (great name!) is growing tomatoes, and you can see here how she’s comparing the healthiness of a couple of her plants — Tomato with Bokashi and Tomato without Bokashi. (Sounds almost like something on the menu of a flash café. Or the title of a still life painting…) Tomato-with-Bokashi has gotContinue reading “Watch my tomatoes grow!”
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”
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”
What’s Bokashi got to do with lunch?
Today we had fresh homemade pasta. For the first time ever! (Thanks Jamie Oliver…) Not only was the pasta fabulous, it was astonishingly simple. 400g of flour on the bench, 4 eggs cracked into a well in the flour, mix and stir and knead. Grind through the benchtop machine. Ready! But the second best thingContinue reading “What’s Bokashi got to do with lunch?”
Bokashi in Motueka
…and where the hell is Motueka, you ask? Ask any kiwi, they’ll tell you. It’s a great little town on the top end of the South Island of New Zealand. A paradise really, with a fantastic coast, laid back lifestyle and nice climate. When I was a kid I had a friend who always wentContinue reading “Bokashi in Motueka”
Can bacteria juice save the world?
Not my headline but I wish it was. A truly excellent blog by Holly Jean Buck from October 2008 — well worth reading if you’re in the least interested in Bokashi, in EM, in the ecological future of our planet. Read it here on “The Walrus”, which bills itself as Canada’s best magazine. Holly JeanContinue reading “Can bacteria juice save the world?”
Bokashi on base in Okinawa
Sometimes there’s an unexpected twist in the tail. I clicked on this link expecting to find a classic Bokashi tale — how Bokashi was discovered inadvertently by Professor Teruo Higa in Okinawa in the early 1980s and has since spread to virtually every corner of the globe. Still on a smallish scale, but the messageContinue reading “Bokashi on base in Okinawa”
A Los Angeles apartment-dweller’s adventures with Bokashi composting
I know there’s a lot of people who live in apartments and would love to get into Bokashi composting but don’t know quite how to get started or if it would be the right thing for them. Here’s a woman in LA who does a great blog on Bokashi, she explains all the ins andContinue reading “A Los Angeles apartment-dweller’s adventures with Bokashi composting”
A kindred soul in the Bokashi world
You get into a lot of interesting conversations when you bring up the subject of Bokashi. I have to admit I often feel like a bit of a nerd, but the subject of taking care of our soil and our waste and our gardens is relevant as hell so often I just dive on inContinue reading “A kindred soul in the Bokashi world”
