Bokashi Glossary Definition
bokashi method: the utilization of microorganisms to ferment an organic matter, solid or liquid. Specifically, it is the use of Effective Microorganisms (EM) with other ingredients (as microbial feed and for nutrient and other properties: antipathogenic, antioxidant, bioremediant, etc.) to ferment different types of organic matter. The resulting bokashi (fermented organic matter) is then applied to soil, water, or as an animal feed. The purpose of the bokashi method is to multiply the microorganisms (in population and diversity via fermentation), improve the organic matter content in soils and provide greater bioavailability of nutrients.
