FAQ's

Below are a few of our most frequently asked questions...

Good Grow’s bokashi is inoculated with Lactobacillus, which will essentially ferment your food waste in an anaerobic environment. Because the food waste is fermented, it will halt the rotting process. This process is similar to pickles and kimchi! Once your food waste is inoculated, it can be buried. This process also helps speed up the breakdown process for quicker, less manual composting.”
