One of the things I’m trying out in village is Bokashi Composting. (http://www.reap-canada.com/bio_and_climate_3_4.htm)
I ventured out into the bush with my hoe, my dog, and the obligatory small boy. This small boy, however, is very small, almost 3. Omar is (I guess) my nephew and really wanted to go out to the bush. After we found his shoes and shirt we were ready to go. Since he’s so strong he carried the hoe.
We had a great time going out and looking under trees for the special worm casting dirt I need. Omar is a very good helper, and always informed me when Pondo ran off to do his puppy thing. And I got worm dirt.
We came back and broke up the dirt. Omar helped me mix it with the coos bran I had acquired earlier. He helped pour the water and make a nice muddy mess. That’s one thing 3 year olds are good at.
I made the plant juice the same day, and it’s busy fermenting in my hut.
The worm dirt mix molded like it was supposed to, and now it’s hanging in my backyard ¾ submerged in a bucket of sugar water.
After the juices are ready, I’ll add them to the compost pile and mix it up. I think we’ll try and use the compost and juice on the field behind the compound, and try is on an area of the peanut field we’re going to plant.
