Bokashi

The manual of Japanese style urban composting

Not everybody has the space or garden to create a compost heap. Bokashi is the solution.

Bokashi means “organic matter” in Japanese. The word also signifies a method of composting that helps all waste peelings and trimmings but also off-cuts of meat, bones, leftovers and paper towels give back its best. The big advantages? It requires little space and is odor free perfect for people living in small apartments with no garden who want to reduce waste or live a zero-waste lifestyle as well as they can.

This attractively illustrated, simple and practical guide explains all you need to know about bokashi: its history, the fermentation process involved, how to do-it-yourself, how to nourish it, how to create a powerful fertilizer and how to use it.
