How can the farm make its own fertilizer and prevent pollution at the same time?
Once again, the key is in the can.
Organic matter is recovered from garbage and reused, before it can release gas the air, by decomposing it first.
Put simply, decomposed organic matter, AKA compost, is nature’s best chemical free fertilizer.
Composting pulls carbon from organic matter by breaking it down and storing it in soil, where it cannot escape. Carbon is captured there, for the long-term, and delivered to plants. This stops the release of methane gas (one of the worst greenhouse gases) before it is released into the air as decomposing matter in a landfill.
Disposing of food waste, yard waste and other organic garbage this way creates 100% organic fertilizer made onsite. That means no chemical or toxic waste and no transportation or application costs.
Besides these great things, compost is used worldwide to restore depleted land and stop desertification.
Compost is also a high commodity to the organic growing consumer.
Carbonscraper farms use in vessel composting to break down waste.
This method of decomposing organic matter is quick, odorless and produces 100% organic fertilizer.
How does it work?
It all starts with Bokashi, an anaerobic fermentation method of breaking down waste that destroys pathogens and breaks down organic matter within a matter of weeks, (not months like traditional methods).
Anaerobics for the win.
Organic matter breaks down very quickly, taking about 2 weeks to complete a cycle (other methods take three months or more.)
Bokashi methods break down meat, bones, fish, dairy and solid fats, none of which can be included in regular compost.
Bokashi creates useful liquid and solid components at the end of its cycle. Both products are used at the farm and excess is sold for profit.
Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi does not emit any emissions as it decomposes.
The method has no scent and never touches the ground, so there are no vermin to worry about.
Bokashi is different.
Bokashi composting uses effective microbes (EM) in an anaerobic (air tight) environment. This allows any kind of organic matter to be broken down efficiently. It also means that even things that are not acceptable for traditional composting can be decomposed.
BokashiCycle has perfected the method of large-scale Bokashi fermenting. Their machines are specially configured to grind organic matter and inoculate it with effective microbes (EM). This matter is decomposed by the microbes in their special holding bins for two weeks. The organic matter is then drained, separating both useful, nutrient dense liquids and solids. The liquids are used as fertilizer. The solids are mixed to make soil used at the farm.
BokashiCycle works with the farms to accommodate any size operation.
Compost is not just dirt.
Compost is nutrient dense, filled with beneficial microbes and can improve depleted lands, even stop desertification.
After garbage has been sorted and compost has been made with it, compost is mixed with soil and brought over the farm building.
