Jenny Harlen of Jenny’s Bokashi Blog joins us from Sweden, a veritable Bokashi hotbed, to explain how it works, how to do it, and how it benefits you, your garden, and the environment. If this sounds suspiciously upbeat, it only gets worse (or better): Jenny also recounts how the Efficient Microorganisms (EM) at the heart of the Bokashi process have also been used to restore degraded agricultural fields, clean up contaminated sites near Chernoble and Fukashima, and rejuvenate polluted waterways.

Too good to be true? Maybe. But maybe not.
