Southern Oregon Bokashi, Dry - 13 lb

Southern Oregon Dry Bokashi is a microbial soil amendment and composting aid made with beneficial microorganisms grown on a grain substrate. This 3 lb bag helps break down organic matter and make soil nutrients more accessible to plants, supporting an active root zone.

Controlled drying places the microorganisms in a dormant state, allowing reactivation for up to two years after the production date. The dry format also absorbs some excess moisture in kitchen composting.

Microorganisms and soil benefits

The blend contains symbiotic lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and photosynthetic bacteria. Its proprietary bacteria and production process support beneficial microbial activity. The product is designed to:

• Break down soil nutrients to improve plant access and help reduce fertilizer needs.
• Increase microbial activity in soil and, when used as a foliar spray, on leaves.
• Improve soil aggregation and water-holding capacity, helping reduce runoff and erosion.
• Support plant photosynthetic capacity, growth, and larger flower sets.
• Help suppress soil-borne disease and pests.
• Speed up composting of manure and organic waste.
• Provide polysaccharides, micronutrients, beneficial enzymes, and organic acids.

Compatibility and application pointers

Can be used alongside organic fertilizers, synthetic fertilizers, and other mycorrhizal products. When using synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, observe these precautions:

• Do not apply synthetic fertilizer and Bokashi at the same time. Apply fertilizer first, then wait a couple of days before applying Bokashi to reduce osmotic stress from fertilizer salts on the beneficial microorganisms.
• When using synthetic fertilizers, increasing the Bokashi inoculation rate may help offset detrimental effects on microorganisms.
• Do not apply Bokashi in combination with petroleum-based pesticides; its microorganisms may neutralize those compounds.
