In this way, a natural, ecological and sustainable fertilizer is ensured that enriches the soil biologically, transforming it from an inert substrate to a fertile, living soil.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1118 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/marimurtra.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_8591-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1117 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/marimurtra.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_8546-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>In order to produce the Bokashi for Marimurtra, the following ingredients have been used: heather remains and rice husk flour as carbon sources; chicken manure from our resident flock of Catalan heritage chickens, cow dung; and ordinary garden soil, clay and rock meal.<br \/>\nWater with beet-sugar molasses is added until a homogeneous mixture results. Then it is covered with a tarpaulin and allowed to ferment. Since it is an aerobic process it must be stirred often to keep it oxygenated.<br \/>\nThe fermentation is relatively rapid, taking between 15 and 20 days. It\u2019s a fast-performing fertilizer that provides a large quantity of microorganisms to the soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word Bokashi is Japanese, meaning fermented organic matter.
