I have been experimenting to improve the soil at the garden with Bokashi. It is food waste from my kitchen compressed in a special bucket with bokashi flakes (macrobiotic things living in?!). It is something you can buy and I was curious how good they do to poor soil like the one in this garden (it is otherwise very sandy). It usually takes me ~2 month to fill with vegetable peals and cut outs. I usually do not put cooked food wastes (and there are hardly one!) or meat products. There are egg shells though. After it is filled completely, I let it sit in room temperature for 4 weeks, then I bring it to the garden. It needs to be buried inside the soil for another 2-4 weeks (depending on the temperature) before it becomes completely like soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, when I open it, the surface is covered with fungi. I am not sure if this is microbe from the Bokashi flakes, or the mushrooms I put in (I cook a lot of mushrooms. When I the bucket around into the soil, I can see the food waste still keeping the shape. at this pint, it does not look like soil yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made sure that the hole is deep enough so the animals do not dig it up. place the content of the bucket and cover it with the soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 3rd time I buried Bokashi bucket this year. I have checked the previous hole and you do not see any food waste, but dark humus looking soil. I guess it is doing something good?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
