SUMMARY:Bokashi Workshop - Part 3 - Bokashi & Soil
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, the bokashi food waste and bokashi FPE (fermented plant extract) that were made in Part 2 will be ready to use. We will apply them to the soil\, as well as apply the EM•5 that was made in Part 1.

SUMMARY:Bokashi Workshop - Part 2 - Bokashi Ferments
DESCRIPTION:The two bokashi ferments (bokashi sprinkle and bokashi spray) made in part 1 will now be ready to use.\nWe will use them as follows:\n• To compost plant clippings and branches with the bokashi spray (non-food waste composting).\n• To amend soil with the bokashi sprinkle and bokashi spray.\n• To make bokashi FPE (Fermented Plant Extract) from fresh cut weeds using the bokashi spray (takes 2 weeks to ferment).\n• To treat food waste to make bokashi food waste (what we’ve been doing since 2009) either using the sprinkle or the spray (takes 2 weeks to ferment).

SUMMARY:Bokashi Workshop - Part 1 - Bokashi Gardening
DESCRIPTION:An intro to the basics of bokashi gardening and soil care (towards creating a living soil—see postscript below).\nLearn the two main ways to make the basic bokashi ferments:\n a. the bokashi sprinkle with wheat bran (aka bokashi bran)\n b. the bokashi spray (a liquid bokashi ferment\, aka Activated EM).\nWe will also make EM•5 foliar spray (another type of liquid bokashi ferment with garlic and hot peppers) which is used to spray on plants and trees\, as well as treat the soil.\n\nThese bokashi ferments will take at least 2 weeks to ferment before they’re ready to use. \n\n\nWhat is living soil? Soil that’s full of life (microbes\, worms\, insects) and is self-sustaining and self-balancing.\n \nSelf-sustaining: as in a forest\, no one feeds a forest\, microbes break down organic matter at all stages (from freshly dead to fully decomposed plant matter and all other organisms) providing a full range of nutrients.\n \nSelf-balancing: when microbial life is dense in the soil in population and diversity\, they keep pathogens (disease-causing microbes\, but which have their ecological role) in check and can perhaps function beneficially (for example\, in the human gut\, E. coli\, a pathogen\, naturally exists\, and when our body\, their environment\, is healthy\, i.e.\, with a healthy gut microbiome\, they actually produce vitamin K and anti-pathogens against other pathogens; when we’re sick\, esp. from food poisoning\, their population explodes and change function producing toxins).\n\nSoil can be made into living soil by various methods. The bokashi method is one way to facilitate building and maintaining living soil (or close to living soil).\n\nAt its very basic\, bokashi is about applying microbes and organic matter.\nThe bokashi method\, however\, involves using microbes to ferment organic matter.\nDuring fermentation\, all kinds of microbes multiply and produce metabolites.\n\nMetabolites are both 1) necessary for the microbes metabolism and 2) byproducts of the microbes metabolism.\nOne group of microbes may use one set of metabolites to produce other kinds of metabolites which are then used by other microbes.\nMetabolites includes nutrients (micronutrients and macronutrients) and other beneficial substances.\nOn average\, a microbe can produce 50 unique metabolites and anywhere from 3\,700 to 16\,000 metabolites in total depending on species.\n\nMetabolites\, when in abundance\, can give foods vibrant colors\, enhanced flavors and aromas.
