Evaluation of bokashi fermentation leachate as a biofertilizer in urban horticulture – inorganic plant nutrient content in bokashi leachate and its effect as a fertilizer on pak choi

My goal is zero waste / smell-free composting, so it's not an issue for me that bokashi leachate seems to be low in nitrogen.

I will likely use the leachate as a drain cleaner.

Bokashi Composting update!

I don't have the latitude to try and fail with a DIY system (I'm allergic to mold) so I have gone with prefab.

I contacted Canadian company Bokashi Living, and their Bokashi bins are BPA- and PFAS free. That's a good start.

My new (single) bin arrives this week (I don't generate a lot of food waste, a 2 week hiatus on occasion won't be a hurdle).

I'm excited to get started.

@BrambleBearSnoring Hey, I found the recipe! DIY #EcoEnzyme

"WHAT IS ECO ENZYME?

Eco enzyme is an alternative to #Bokashi zing or sprinkle, and is used to accelerate the fermentation process.

It is produced by fermenting organic kitchen waste, particularly fruit and vegetable scraps, with sugar (often brown sugar or molasses) and water. The fermentation process typically takes around three months, resulting in a dark brown liquid with a strong sweet and sour fermented scent, rich in beneficial microorganisms.

Eco enzyme can be used in many ways, including cleaning, fertilising plants, purifying water, unblocking household drains, and even as a natural pesticide. It works by breaking down waste, improving soil health, and enhancing microbial activity.

Make Your Own Eco Enzyme

1. Prepare an air-tight plastic container – avoid using glass or metal containers as they do not allow expansion caused by gas released during the fermentation process.

2. Prepare your ingredients:
• 10 parts water (fill up to 60% of container)
• 1 part sugar
• 3 parts fruit and/or vegetable scraps

3. Dilute sugar in water, then add your kitchen waste (fruit and vegetable scraps only, avoid using oily cooked food, fish or meat). For a fresh-smelling enzyme, add orange/lemon peel or pandan leaves. Leave some air space for fermentation and ensure the
container is air-tight.

4. Open the lid daily for the first month to release gases, and push the floating scraps downward occasionally. Place the container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight.

5. Let it ferment for at least three months before use.

6. After fermentation, filter the solution. You can reuse the leftover residue for the next production by adding fresh food scraps. Alternatively, bury it in the ground.

7. The leftover solution is now ready to use on your Bokashi. Use it in exactly the same way you would use a sprinkle – spray sparingly on top of the new food scraps you add, before squashing it down [which is how #LacticAcidBacteria is used as well]. It can also be diluted for use as a cleaner or fertiliser.

TIPS
• Do not use glass or metal containers that cannot expand.
• Only use fruit and vegetable scraps for making the enzyme.
• If the enzyme turns black, add the same amount of sugar to restart the fermentation process.
• Ignore any white, black, or brown layer that forms on top of the enzyme.
• If flies or worms appear in the container, leave them; the enzyme’s chemical reaction will dissolve them naturally.
• If you don’t have enough fruit and vegetable scraps initially, fill the container gradually. Let the eco enzyme ferment for three months from the last addition of scraps.
• The longer the fermentation, the better the enzyme.
• Harvested eco enzyme never expires and should not be stored in the refrigerator."

Valmiin Bokashi-multatehtaan avaaminen on aina yhtä suuri ihme: upeaa, mehevää multaa! Ja joo, on myös kananmunankuoria (joista kasvit tykkäävät) ja jotakin muutakin, mikä ei ole kadonnut muhevaan, mustaan multaan. Mutta ihan supermultaa tämä on. Se odottaa nyt tuossa terassilla kesäkukkia, jo ruukkuihin jaettuna.

Uusi tehdas on nyt tekeytymässä, ja tuolla odottaa vielä yksi täysi bokashi seuraavaa. Tänään tyhjentämäni bokashi-sangon vien nyt kaupunkiin, niin voi taas unohtaa taloyhtiön bioroskiksen.

Ai niin, bonuksena vielä bokashi-neste, jolla voi lannoittaa niitä kesäkukkia ja parvekekukkia ja kasvimaata ja…

#WordOfTheDay : Bokashi

#Bokashi is the Japanese name for a fermentation process that converts food waste into healthy soil for the garden and liquid that can be used (in diluted form) as a power food for plants.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to make their own #compost, and you happen to have children (the kind of #human that leaves a lot of food waste), bokashi may be recommended for you!

#mrsCleyton would have had no idea how to use bokashi.

Entdecke die Welt des Mini-Bokashi! Keine Biotonne mehr nötig: Fermentiere Küchenabfälle platzsparend und umweltfreundlich. Dein Schritt zu einem nachhaltigen Haushalt! 🌍🌿
#Bokashi #Nachhaltigkeit #Umweltfreundlich

https://erdeundernte.de/mini-bokashi-anleitung-kleine-kueche/

Ein Mini-Bokashi mit 5 bis 8 Litern passt in jede Küche und fermentiert Gemüseschalen, Kaffeesatz und sogar kleine Mengen gekochter Reste. Nach zwei Wochen hast du Dünger für Zimmerpflanzen, und der Sickersaft wird 1 zu 100 verdünnt zur Gießkanne-Geheimwaffe. Wenn du zwei Eimer im Wechsel nutzt, läuft das System kontinuierlich ohne Pausen. #bokashi #gartenpraxis #selbstversorgung

Guten Morgen @ErdeUndErnte. Mich interessiert, was unter "Streu" verstanden wird?

Gleichzeitig möchte ich diese Gelegenheit nutzen und mich für eure Arbeit und Geduld bedanken. Für meine Vorratskammer suche ich immer wieder passende Tips.

Mini-Bokashi im Eimer: Abfälle klein, Streu drauf, Gewicht flach auflegen, Deckel schließen – sauber und geruchsfrei. #bokashi #gartenwissen

Geçen gün ofiste waffle dağıtıldı, ben de hayatımda ilk kez yedim (hâlâ veganım), herkes o gün yedi ve belki bugün sorsan hatırlanmayacaklardır bile. Bense o günden beri çalışıyorum; personelden muz kabuklarını istedim, kırmadılar sağolsunlar, çöpten kabukları ayıkladım, belki 10kg kabuğu eve taşıdım. Solucan ve bokashi komposarı yapıyorum evde ama kabuklar öyle çoktu ki, takviye yöntemler araştırmam gerekti. Meğer sadece suda 1 ay bekletilerek de çok verimli bir bitki gübresi elde edilebiliyormuş. Potasyum zenginliği dolayısıyla. Ben de bu işe giriştim, nihayet bugün tüm kabuklar bitti.

Vi har turen att ha en intakt jordkällare på gården. Jag har börjat förvara bokashi-kompost där under vintern som bidrar med gödsling under vår och sommar. Nu tömmer jag bokashi-hinken som ska in i köket i hinkar som får stå och jäsa i jordkällaren tills våren kommer.

Hat jemand Interesse an Bokashi-tee oder #bokashi erde?

Habe 3 litee Bokashi-tee abzugeben und demnächst auch einen Eimer bokashi erde

DIY'd a bokashi bucket! Been using bokashi for years with great results in the city, but just throwing food scraps in the garden compost on the land. Feels quite wasteful -- diluting potential good-quality compost with bad.

Initially wanted it fancy like a commercial one, with.a little tap for emptying out the liquid. Couldn't figure out how to make it work. Budget constraints favor simplicity too, esp. since we'll need a couple more once this is full.

Derzeit probiere ich viel mit Effektiven Mikroorganismen und hoffe auch so, in einem überschaubaren Zeitraum genug Kompost für meinen Balkongarten herstellen zu können.
Hier ein erstes Ergebnis. Allerdings mit Küchenabfällen aus dem letzten Jahr, die schon zum Teil verrottet waren.
Es ist und bleibt ein spannendes Thema 👍

So. Hab gerade erstmal wieder einen #Bokashi-Eimer gestartet...

Dann hab ich in absehbarer Zeit wieder eigenen Kompost und Dünger und weiß, was drin ist...

Hatte ich schon länger vor, bin aber immer wieder drüber weggekommen. Jetzt aber... Ich werde berichten.

And then there is #Bokashi - I can see that this would work but I live in a small open-plan apartment and think the smells might be overpowering? https://www.treehugger.com/what-is-bokashi-composting-5088917

I just ordered a little composter, #bokashi style. I can reduce my waste output even further! I have serious plans to get planters for my balcony, I hope to make the soil for it myself. Though it'll take forever for me to fill that bin.

I'm currently 3D printing a watering can.

What do fermented food scraps smell like?

This is the best composting system for balcony gardening.

Det är är pinsamt och skamligt. De sista tomaterna som legat inne för eftermogning är nu bortom räddning. Till mitt försvar vill jag säga att de inte kommer att slängas på riktigt, de åker ner i bokashihinken och blir näring till nya tomater nästa år.

Nach Tagen der Ältestenversorgung und -bespaßung gibt es kaum etwas Entspannenderes als Erdhaufenbewegung und #Bokashiversenkung (#Bokashi sind fermentierte Küchenabfälle). Das Satt-und-glücklich-Hochbeet ist nun auch bald gefüllt und wartet auf Kartoffeln, Bohnen, Minze und Bohnenkraut, wie es Frau Klein von DerkleineHorrorgarten (via Instagram sowie über das #Blogsofa entdeckt und begeistert verfolgt!) empfiehlt. Bin gespannt! #EndlichWiederHochbeet und #Gartenzeit

Todos y todas con las manos en la #tierra aprendiendo a devolver nutrientes a los #suelos degradados. Todo un éxito el taller de #bokashi y #ensilaje (reproducción de microorganismos de bosque).
