Current EM carrier mix:

As you are probably aware, it is the microorganisms in the Bokashi One Mix that are at the core of the Bokashi One composting system. The dry ingredients mix are simply a carrier for the microorganisms.

In recent years due to drought it has been harder for us to source some ingredients for the mix, rice hulls are now so scarce that we have decided to substitute some with sawdust.

The mix will look a little different, however you can rest assured that this change has no negative impact and Bokashi One Mix will still be of the same excellent quality.
