What's going on everyone? Welcome back to another episode here on the Epic

Gardening Podcast. We are back with Marco Thomas who is a natural farmer.

You can find him at microbes by Marco.com.

And so we're talking today about a topic that I've actually done quite a bit about.

It's Bococashi.

I call it Bocashi composting and it's a method where you're taking an

inoculated brand and using that in layers with your food scraps and then from there you can direct bury

that in the soil and it breaks down really quickly

and it kind of plugs into the soil food web as all those microbes really start to

devour it.

But I'm curious, Marco, in your world of natural farming, how does it fit into the overall equation or philosophy

um with with kerosia I really I encourage everyone to do a kakashi as you know

Kevin I mean it's it's really easy do, you don't have any odors, you know, and so good use of your food scraps.

One thing that I did here is because I have, and it's not a large property, but I have a piece of property and I got it and I wanted to build all my soil from scratch, you know, with soil and parts of it that I gathered and use and so one of the things I did was I made a relationship with the local salad

shop and I get all there like a barrel of their veggie scraps every week or so.

And so I started Vokashi in those and what I do with Vokashi is I like to just mix it right into my soil pile and kind of build up my soil just with pukasha.

Gotcha and so how does that look practically like how are you how are you getting

it how are you working in those salad scraps and then how does that

eventually make it into your soil?

Yeah so basically I just keep a pile of soil going off to the side you know if I ever need

a scoop or two here in a bed, I have a pile already going.

And so once I have a full bakashi bucket, I just basically dig down into that pile,
