I came across your website as I was looking toward larger scale bokashi operations...and it's amazing! I will be implementing something like this, on a slightly smaller scale, here in the States on a piece of property I have an option to purchase. Bloody brilliant work lads!

Can you plz tell if we can use this process to ferment cow or chicken manure with plant waste as dry matter ? Or this process cant be used to compost manure ?

Hi Ajay, We usually keep the heap covered for up to 3 months. We don't do any agitation during the fermentation. We mix all ingredients thoroughly at the start and treat with EM and cover for 3 months. Once finished it is ready to be applied. Thanks
