What if the biggest thing holding back our soils is the way we think about "waste"?
We recently revisited the compost bays at at Egwood to see the results of introducing Bokashi fermentation — and the transformation has been incredible.
🎥 This video shows the complete journey:
➡️ Before – the original composting system
➡️ During – creating and managing the Bokashi heaps
➡️ After – the finished result and what happens when nutrients stay in the system rather than being lost
Traditional composting breaks organic matter down.
Bokashi fermentation helps preserve it.
More carbon. More nutrients. More biology. More potential for the soil food web.
The real success wasn't just in the compost bays. It was in the shift from seeing organic materials as a disposal problem to seeing them as a resource.
Because healthy soils don't start with fertiliser.
They start with how we value the materials we already have.
Huge thanks to everyone at Ark at Egwood for letting us come back and share the story.
