BBC Features Bokashi – A Game-Changer for Scottish Farming?

Martyn Richards response to the work going on in Scotland:

I’ve been following the work of Andrew and Seonag Barbour at Glen Fincastle with great interest. Their innovative approach to using bokashi to improve their farming practices is truly inspiring. I recently had the opportunity to listen to their BBC Radio Scotland interview and was blown away by the potential of this technique.

Bokashi, a fermentation process using beneficial microorganisms, offers a sustainable and effective way to manage manure and enhance soil health. By treating manure with bokashi, farmers can reduce harmful emissions, improve nutrient retention, and create a healthier agricultural environment.

The Barbours’ experience has shown that bokashi can be easily integrated into existing farming practices. Their use of woodchip as bedding and the simple technique of covering manure stacks with plastic have proven to be highly beneficial.

I encourage all Scottish farmers to listen to the BBC Radio Scotland interview and learn more about the potential of bokashi. It’s a game-changer that could revolutionize the way we farm in Scotland.

Let’s work together to create a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future.
