El Sol Brillante and Down to Earth Garden hosted four staff members from the Queens Botanical Garden to go deep into our bokashi composting process. Our resident expert led them through all aspects of the bokashi process from creating the bokashi to feeding worm compost bins, and even how to improve growing vegetables. Between the two gardens, we’ve diverted almost 70 tons of food waste since 2009 using the bokashi method of recycling food waste. You can learn more about our process here.
