Benefits of using Planttonix Bokashi

In the Home

Composting is a great idea, but it’s often smelly, messy and can attract rodents. Bokashi solves these problems with a simple and effective process that makes being eco-conscious easier. Simply place your Bokashi bucket somewhere convenient, and once your waste has fermented (in about 14 days), pour the fertilizer wherever you want to improve the health and vitality of your plants. Benefits include:

  • Quick and easy to implement

  • Simple to start and use in all seasons

  • Productive

  • Odourless

 

For Pet Waste

We all love our pets, but did you know that their waste contributes to the production of harmful methane gas? It also contains parasites and toxoplasmosis which can run off and cause harm to water, and to humans who consume it. With Planttonix Bokashi, you can transform their waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer that is great for plants.

  • Help to decrease methane gas production

  • Keep water and water reservoirs clean and free of parasites

  • Transform your pets waste into a powerful fertilizer

 

For the Well-Being of the Ecosystem & Generations to Come

On Vancouver Island alone, each household produces about 1000 pounds of food waste annually. This “garbage” is driven in trucks to the dump, where it adds to greenhouse gas emissions and takes up valuable space in landfills. The disposal trucks also add to harmful emissions through the burning of fossil fuels. This happens day in and day out. So by using our locally-made Bokashi, you’re helping to eliminate greenhouse gases, sequester carbon and eliminate unnecessary food waste. You’ll feel great using it because you’re helping our planet, future generations, and your plants will thrive!

  • Stop contributing to the harmful emissions from waste emissions (dump trucks)

  • Help sequester carbon through the fermentation process

  • Help protect the environment and future generations

 

Benefits of using Planttonix Activated EM

A Powerful Probiotic

To fully understand plant health, we must also consider microorganisms. In the same way that we humans harbour microbiota in our digestive tracts, plants are heavily colonized by huge numbers of diverse microorganisms, from their leaves to their roots. Our EM activates beneficial bacteria’s that effect nitrogen, iron, phosphates and other important compounds, vastly improving soil and plant quality.

  • Activate beneficial compounds

  • Increase biodiversity of healthy bacteria’s

  • Eliminate the need for harmful pesticide’s


 

Unlock Vital Nutrients

A healthy soil is a living, dynamic ecosystem, teeming with microscopic and larger organisms that perform many vital functions. This includes converting decaying matter to plant nutrients (nutrient cycling); controlling plant disease, as well as insect and weed pests. Soil structure is improved and can supply more essential nutrients, more water, more oxygen and improved root support, encouraging a flourishing environment for plants.

  • Improved nutrient cycling

  • Improve soil structure

  • Hold more water and nutrients in your soil

 

Pest Control

Insects cannot digest healthy plants, because unlike humans their digestive tract is less diverse in enzymes and they are only able to digest in a very simple way. Studies have even shown that if you put a healthy plant and a sick one beside each other, the insect will choose the sick one. So, when a plant is injured or unhealthy, it releases certain signals such as electromagnetic, chemical or odours, letting insects know that it is ready to be broken down. This relationship helps both plants and insects to thrive in nature. Our Activated EM vastly improves plant vitality, and combined with the correct planting strategies, your plants will be passed over by insects looking to eat.

  • Improve plant vitality so that bugs will not be attracted to them

  • Decrease the need for harmful pesticides in soil and water
