Bokashi

One way of reducing synthetic chemicals in your permaculture garden is by using Bokashi (fermented organic matter). It adds beneficial plant friendly microbes to your soil. These microbes are the foundation of healthy, productive soils. Increases nutrient availability to your plants. 

The bokashi microbes break down organic material and soil amendments into plant available forms. Bokashi was developed in the early 1980s by Dr. Teruo Higa, a professional at the University of Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan.

Limited stocks available and very affordable‼️ Just send a PM to BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
