Usage

+ Layer by layer method: Divide Microferm, Aegir, and Edasil between the layers.
+ Ensure sufficient moisture in the pile and seal it tightly.
+ It is possible to treat the silo passages as a Bokashi pile:
         => Add manure systematically and cover the pile with a tarp.
         => Distribute Microferm, Aegir, and Edasil between the layers.
+ Allow fermentation for 8 to 12 weeks before spreading the resulting humus in the pasture.

Dosage

 

1 Bokashi kit is suitable for fermenting 2 tons of manure or other organic material.

Per ton of manure or organic material:

  • Microferm: Use 2.5 liters of Microferm diluted with approximately 10 liters of water per ton.
  • Aegir: Apply 10 kg of seashell lime per ton.
  • Edasil: Use 10 kg of clay minerals per ton.
  • Vulkamin: Apply 10 kg of volcanic minerals per ton.

 

More about Bokashi

 

In the conventional method, which is familiar to many, manure is collected and piled up. The manure remains undisturbed in an oxygen-rich (aerobic) environment. This method causes oxidation and a significant increase in temperature, resulting in a substantial loss of nutrient value and energy (carbon and nitrogen). As a result, the ecological footprint is large and highly detrimental.

On the other hand, there is the Bokashi method, which involves controlled fermentation. This means that organic material is pre-digested by Effective Microorganisms in an oxygen-poor (anaerobic) environment. The temperature remains stable to preserve the nutrient value (carbon and nitrogen) and create sustainable humus that is rich in nutrients and bioactive substances (antioxidants, organic acids, vitamins, etc.). The Bokashi method offers a more sustainable and efficient way of converting organic material into valuable humus while preserving its nutritional benefits.

 

Tips

When you squeeze the mass in your hands and no water comes out, you have the correct water-to-dry matter ratio.

  • Too wet = risk of rotting. Cover it well and add extra organic material.
  • Too dry = microorganisms won't distribute properly. Pour extra Microferm mixture on top.
  • Wood-based bedding is less suitable for Bokashi production.
  • Fermentation is an oxygen-free process, so compact the pile well and seal it tightly.
  • If the Eco-box method is already being used in the stable, the Bokashi method will work even more effectively on the manure pile.
