Adapting Horticulture to Climate Change: The Role of Bokashi Composting in Green Waste Management
As climate change accelerates, UK horticulture faces new challenges and opportunities. Warmer temperatures are enabling crops like figs and almonds to thrive, but extreme weather events demand innovative adaptation strategies. Bokashi composting offers a sustainable solution for managing green waste while enriching soil health, improving water retention, and enhancing plant resilience. By integrating Bokashi into their practices, horticulturists can create a more sustainable and climate-resilient growing environment
Glastonbury Bokashi with spoilt hay
A 700-year-old farm in Glastonbury, West Penard, is undergoing a remarkable transformation using sustainable practices like Bokashi composting and microbial restoration. Faced with challenges such as waterlogged soil, failing septic systems, and leftover moldy hay, the farm is turning to regenerative agriculture to restore soil health and reduce waste. By repurposing organic materials and leveraging Effective Microorganisms (EM), the project highlights innovative solutions for sustainable land management. Join Martyn as he visits Tom to build a Bokashi heap, exploring how these methods support long-term farm regeneration.
