If you are a proud owner of a Bokashi Organko, you’ve surely heard of effective microorganisms (EM) before, right? These tiny creatures also go by the name of beneficial microorganisms (also microbes) because they are tiny and we all benefit from them. However, before we dive into the benefits of...
Did you know that 34% of all municipal waste is bio-waste? Even more concerning is the fact that 57% of that is not recycled. As such, most organic waste ends up in landfills where it decays slowly and thus emits large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere and attracts all sorts of pests and bad...
When most people hear about composting or compost, they think of piles of organic waste (such as leaves, grass clipping, etc.). And, while that is still the most common type of composting, anaerobic compost applications have grown in popularity.

Have you eaten yogurt before? How about sourdough bread? Perhaps sauerkraut? They are all end products of the fermentation process. This natural way of chemical breakdown of organic material by bacteria, yeasts, or other effective microorganisms (EM) can be started on its own (wild fermentation)...
