I’m a coco/salts grower that has recently become more and more interested in growing organically using soil and compost. I’ve been reading “Teaming with Microbes” and recently read a book about bokashi composting and it blew my mind. I thought that the idea of making your own compost to add to your soil sounds incredible. I’ve got some bran fermenting at the moment and I’m currently planning my outdoor grow for the upcoming season and I wanted to run by a few ideas with the community. My plan is to add some amendments to a locally sourced organic soil blend, mixing in my pre fermented bokashi food waste and letting it cook before transplanting.
I have some used soil from last season that I wanted to try this with and was wondering if anyone has ever grown using bokashi compost?
My plan was to mix my amendments and add 3-4 table spoons per gallon of soil to make a ‘Super Soil’, filling my pots half way with this mix then topping the pots with the unamended soil. Has anyone ever grown using a tiered style like this and if so can you offer any advice?
Thanks all!
