Hi - I was just wondering if anyone used this stuff in their chicken's feed? It stops the chicken poop from smelling too much and breaks down faster (I guess). I have a neighbor with a sensitive nose and I was thinking about getting some, but I thought I'd check with you all (because it's not cheap!)
This is the advertisment I found:
"Bokashi - Active
Chickens are like a 24hr composting system; what they eat one day drops out the next bursting with nitrogen for the undoubted benefit of your vegetable patch. However, the droppings are acidic and over time this acidity can slowly build up, traditionally the way to treat this was to add lime to the soil.
But now there is a way to neutralise the droppings at source using the catchily named Effective Micro-organisms. The microorganisms are mixed with molasses and bran, allowed to ferment and then dried to produce a stable product. This sweet smelling mix is known as Bokashi and can be fed daily to your chickens at a rate of 5% of the weight of their feed and sprinkled on the dropping tray under the perching bars. Your chickens will love it and just thinking of all those millions of little organisms working away improving the soil has just got to make you feel good too.
