Hi Permies,

I had some really great feedback on the ebook I posted here a little while ago on Seed Saving (https://permies.com/t/229630/Garden-Seed-Beginners-Guide-Seed - scroll to the bottom for the most updated pdf).

So today I'm posting another similar styled guide. This time on Bokashi composting. And as a teaser I have started on a sequel to the seed saving guide covering some more advanced techniques.

Bokashi is an easy method, can be done virtually for free and can be adapted to suit almost all homes big or small. I've been doing this for a number of years. You can add your Bokashi to your regular compost. Dig it straight into your garden (I'm a no-dig convert these days so I don't do this any longer) or process it in a "soil factory"

As always let me know if you spot any errors or issues. It somehow doesn't feel as "polished" as the last guide but if I don't get it out it will just sit on my laptop for a few more weeks.

As with the last guide I probably will post it for sale later but it will always be free on this post. Be sure to scroll down to find the comment where I have uploaded the latest copy after any edits.
