Backyard Composting and Bokashi Basics Workshop – Ramona

Join Solana Center for this FREE 2-hour workshop where you will get an introduction to using the bokashi method (the word “bokashi” is a Japanese term meaning fermented organic matter), as well as the basics of traditional backyard composting. The bokashi method involves using a particular group of bacteria that preserves your food scraps until you’re ready to compost them. Using trial-tested advice and demonstrations, our experienced educators will teach you all you need to know about incorporating bokashi into your backyard compost pile. 

All pre-registered attendees who are residents of unincorporated San Diego County can receive a free kitchen scraps container.

In this workshop, we will cover:

• What is bokashi and how does it work?
• The benefits of using the bokashi method
• What is composting and why it is so important
• How to get started on your own backyard compost bin
• How to incorporate bokashi into your compost bin and your garden

Composting benefits for your garden and living a greener life include:

• Knowing where your food scraps are going and keeping them out of the landfill
• Knowing exactly what went into your compost
• Using compost in your garden to increase soil water retention, and as a result, saving money
• Increasing soil microbiome & overall soil health for happy plants
