BOKASHI AUSTRALIA
Bokashi Australia genuine bokashi made with certified Effective Microbes (EM), beware of imitations
image
If you have….
* Tried worm farms without success ·
* Had enough of foul odours ·
* No room for a large compost bin
But you still want:
* To recycle all your food waste?
* To produce 100% natural fertiliser every month?
* To produce 100% natural liquid soil conditioner every week?
Then the Bokashi Australia compost system is for you Click here to see the video
Small and compact enough to keep in your kitchen, the Bokashi Australia compost system takes all the waste you can’t put in a worm farm or are troublesome to compost.
Meat, fish, citrus, onion, dairy products etc. even bones! (Bones still have a lot of nutrient in them; after you bury the Bokashi compost, the bones will eventually surface, just pick them out then, easy!)
The Bokashi Australia system ferments your kitchen waste using Effective Micro-organisms (EM). Fermentation prevents the waste from rotting and putrefying, because there is no putrefaction, there is no foul odours or insects!
Fermentation is similar to pickling. A pickled onion still looks like an onion after it is pickled, the waste in the bin will still look the same only the lignin or fibre in the waste will be broken down. Fermentation produces no heat therefore all energy is retained, when done inside the bucket, it requires no turning, produces no leachate and minimal greenhouse gases.
As opposed to conventional composting, fermentation is sweet smelling and does not attract insects, flies or rodents.
The Bokashi Australia system uses Bokashi to ferment your food waste; Bokashi is a mixture of Wheat bran, Pollard and Rice hulls that are fermented with certified Effective Micro-organisms (EM), molasses and water. After fermentation the Bokashi is dried using a special process exclusively designed for Bokashi Australia, beware of imitations that do not use genuine EM .
The Bokashi compost is ready in as little as 1 week after the bucket is full and produces a very high nutrient value end product which is high quality soil conditioner.
The Bokashi Australia system ferments ALL your kitchen waste using Effective Micro-Organisms (EM).
This includes:
* meat
* fish
* citrus
* onion
* dairy products
* even bones!
After 2 weeks the waste will have broken down into rich nutritious soil conditioner, which can be spread around the rest of your garden.

EM AUSTRALIA
Effective Micro-Organisms (EM)
What is EM?
EM is the abbreviation for (Effective Micro-Organisms also known as Effective Microbes or Efficient Microbes) and is a combination of various beneficial naturally occurring micro-organisms, EM contains beneficial organisms from three main groups: photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast. These effective micro-organisms secrete beneficial substances such as vitamins, organic acids, chelated minerals and antioxidants, when in contact with organic matter they change the soil micro flora and fauna so that disease-inducing soil becomes disease-suppressing soil.
The anti-oxidation effects of these micro-organisms pass directly to the soil or indirectly to plants maintaining their NPK and CN ratio. This process increases the humus content of the soil and is capable of sustaining high quality food production.
Effective micro-organisms were developed over many years in liquid form by Prof. Dr. Teruo Higa of the University of the Ryukyus and finished in 1982. At first EM was considered an alternative for agricultural chemicals. But its use has now spread to application in environmental, industrial and health fields. It must be stressed that EM is not a synthetic chemical or a medicine but a microbial formulation.
The benefits of Effective Micro-organisms
By improving soil and plant health, EM assists in germination, flowering, fruiting and ripening in plants thus increasing yields and quality of produce.
EM also enhances the efficacy of organic matter as fertilizers and assists the photosynthetic capacity of plants (allowing them to use more of the light spectrum).
Other beneficial effects include the suppression of soil borne pathogens and pests, and the ability to suppress weeds thus reducing the reliance on chemicals as control.
Both conventional and organic farmers have taken up the use of EM Effective micro-organisms. EM cuts fertiliser costs and in time also reduces the volume of weeds. As EM effective micro-organisms work largely in the anaerobic sector they are especially effective in areas where problems such as putrefaction, sludge and offensive odours occur.
EM effective micro-organisms are used in arable farming, vegetable production, orchards andViniculture. Using EM in fish breeding waters and ponds brings both an improvement in water quality and sludge reduction.
The micro-organisms in EM are able to convert the decomposing material derived from the settling organic matter such as leaves, algae, pollen, seed, fish food etc. This optimises the water quality and produces an excellent environment for fish breeding.
How EM was developed
Sanko Sangyo in Okinawa-Japan introduced and launched the research and the business of EM Technology 25 years ago. Prof. Teruo Higa of The University of the Ryukyus, joined to develop EM Products in early 80’s. Since then, Sanko Sangyo is devoted and dedicated to produce safe and high quality EM products for its customers to contribute in protecting of human and environmental health.
Their expertise has seen EM developed for use used in the following areas:
Bioremediation
* Industrial solid wastes / sludge
* Council wastes / waste
* Industrial effluent
* Sewage sludge
* Sewage water
Deodorisation
* Industrial odour/tannery odour
* Sewage odour
* Live-stock shed odour
* Poultry farm odour
* Indoor odour
Agriculture
* Reclamation of saline effected soils
* Reuse of saline ground water as irrigation water
* Organic farming
Using EM Technology, hazardous metals-laden mineral sludge can be converted into non-hazardous biological sludge for safe disposal and use as bio fertilizer in agriculture and as soil conditioner in the remediation saline-alkali lands.
EM Technology, can eliminate foul smelling odours emitted from the stagnant industrial and sewage water.
EM Technology, can be used to reclaim saline-alkali soil and hazardous groundwater can be made fit for irrigation purposes.
Farm refuse and animal manure can be converted into Bokashi compost for use in organic farming.
EM and Environmental pollution:
Industry produces 3 types of pollution
1. Air pollution with gases and smoke
2. Surface and groundwater pollution with the wastewater (effluent) loaded with various types of salts and pollutants.
3. Land pollution; with the solid waste buried in landfill sites.
Using EM Technology can help to:
* Convert industrial sludge into bio-sludge for safe disposal or application as bio-fertilizer in floriculture, parks and lawns.
* Deodorise the strong odours of industrial effluent, tanneries, sewage, solid waste, council waste etc.
* Prevent the breeding of flies and mosquitoes
* Reduce the concentration of pollutants in effluent for its safe disposal and an extra treatment can make the effluent reusable for watering of flowers and lawns.
* Control surface as well as groundwater pollution
* Diminish the pollutants in sewage water and clean it further for safe disposal.
* Compost council waste for reuse.

Recycling of kitchen waste and Council Solid Waste
Local councils in the treatment of solid waste landfills have used EM Technology around the world. The motto of "acting locally" can be taken quite literally if we were all to incorporate the use of Effective Micro-organisms at home by treating all of our food and green wastes "locally". Solid wastes are inevitable in today's society, but how we manage the waste is the real problem, not having them. Getting rid of items that still have some usable value is not management, but waste. Waste incineration leads to problems with air pollution as well as relying heavily on fuels to produce high heat for the process to work properly. Materials that go into landfills include, but are not limited to, green wastes, food wastes, metals, plastics, construction debris, etc.
Local council landfill sites are managed under strict regulation requiring covering, dust control, odour control, and leachate management for air and groundwater protection. Landfill managers are concerned with these factors as well as compaction rates as well. Landfill gases are required to be captured as they could be explosive and are often flared because they are loaded with impurities that prevent them from being efficient energy sources. Increasing compaction rates and cleaning the gases with Effective Micro-organisms so they can be used would save taxpayers millions of dollars per month on a national level.
Food Waste
Do you compost? Have you bought one of those expensive big rotating drums? Do you have piles of materials in your yard that you wish you could just compost quickly? How would you like to not have to turn piles of waste materials and turn that stuff into soil ASAP? Are you limited on space? Here is a way to increase the amount of materials you can recycle without going through the work of composting, speed up the process, and get the materials you have now turned into rich soil conditioner fast!
