Learn the Okinawan tradition of Bokashi composting! Bokashi ‘pickles’ your waste, stops rotting and smelly odors, and enriches your soil! Collect your food waste, sprinkle Bokashi on top and cover. During this one-hour demonstration you’ll learn about the problems with landfill dumping and begin to repair our broken food cycle using Bokashi.
