How does Bokashi-fermented waste improve soil health compared to just burying waste?

When you bury raw food waste, it decomposes slowly and unevenly, often creating pockets of anaerobic (oxygen-starved) decay that can attract pests and produce harmful gases like methane. In contrast, Bokashi-fermented waste is pre-digested by microbes, so when it’s added to the soil, it:

Decomposes faster: Microbes in the waste immediately go to work, enriching the soil.

Feeds soil life: Beneficial bacteria and fungi thrive on the organic acids and nutrients, improving soil structure and fertility.

Enhances nutrient cycling: Bokashi breaks down nutrients into plant-available forms, so your garden gets an instant boost.

The result? A healthier, more resilient soil ecosystem.
