Fermented bran: composition and benefits, how to cook with your own hands

Under the fermented bran is understood an organo-microbiological preparation that activates the processing of plant or animal residues. It is produced from organic raw materials through deep fermentation processes with beneficial microorganisms. The finished composition is added to the soil with manure or used independently as a top dressing. Thanks to its use, it is possible to increase the content of organic matter in the soil.

What it consists of

Fermented bran is also called bokashi. They belong to the well-known microbiological top dressings, which are capable of restoring the natural fertility of any type of soil in a short time.Bokashi are bran that has just been fermented by beneficial microorganisms. Most often, rice and wheat bran is involved in the process.

Due to the presence of valuable microorganisms in the composition of the substance, it improves the structural characteristics of the soil, increases its fertile characteristics, provides complete plant nutrition and copes with many pathologies that provoke pathogenic microorganisms.

Why do we need fermented bran in agriculture

The drug can be used in many ways:

1. The product is used to prepare the soil for planting and fertilize plants during the growing season. The composition is applied in its pure form, without additional processing. This is done in spring and autumn.

3. The composition is used to clear land for cultivation.
4. The tool is used to make compost. It can be used outdoors. It is also suitable for indoor use.
5. In the form of tea, the composition can be used for making under the root. It is also used in public utilities.
