Even pet waste can be recycled with Bokashi
I’ve had a few questions lately about cat litter and how to use it in conjunction with Bokashi. There’s a lot of good information here on Bokashicycle, a great US-based company working with Bokashi in many applications. But the basic principle is sprinkle some Bokashi bran in your cat tray now and then, it willContinue reading “Even pet waste can be recycled with Bokashi”

Bokashi + leaves = a bucket full of soil!
Leaves are something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. Quite possibly because I have a hell of a lot of them to rake up. FINALLY we’re free of snow here and after nearly six months of being covered in white stuff a hopefull green-brown lawn has appeared. But winter surprised us last year (doesn’t itContinue reading “Bokashi + leaves = a bucket full of soil!”
Create your own Eden!
Isn’t it a great picture? Check the website here, it’s just excellent. A bunch of councils in New Zealand have gone together to produce this site and it really works. Simple, friendly, and pedagogic. Suddenly all this Bokashi stuff doesn’t seem so hard any more, it’s just a good-old down-to-earth way of creating your ownContinue reading “Create your own Eden!”
Good spot to find EM reference material!
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. Right there in the middle of an incredibly grey, incredibly urban jungle, cars rushing by on all sides, these guys have created a community garden. And the thing is they’re doing it all in bread crates. Stacked on timberContinue reading “Urban gardening. In bread crates!”

DIY Bokashi buckets — Swedish “green buckets”
Been meaning to post these pictures for ages! This is how we do DIY buckets in Sweden. It just doesn’t get much simpler than this! Plastic buckets with a neat lid and newspaper to take up the liquid. The buckets are standard off-the-shelf buckets — local manufacture and you’d probably find one in every homeContinue reading “DIY Bokashi buckets — Swedish “green buckets””
