ROOTED IMPACT

  • Foundation & Mission: 100% of the funds generated by Bokashi K’áax go directly to FSV’s social mission: supporting indigenous communities and vulnerable groups in Yucatán.
  • Regenerative Value: Nourish your garden with a fertilizer that promotes the preservation and restoration of the ecological balance in the Mayan region.
  • Mayab’s Wisdom: This fertilizer is a bridge between Japanese technique (Bokashi) and the ancestral resources of our land (Forest Soil, Wood Ash).

SCIENTIFIC QUALITY & STABILITY

  • Controlled Fermentation: Produced through a rigorous aerobic process with temperatures kept under 60°C (140°F), ensuring the preservation of beneficial microorganisms.
  • Biologically Active Fertilizer: This is not just simple compost; it is a stable ferment that enriches soil microbiology, ideal for organic gardening.
  • Unique Formula: We use Manure, Wheat Bran, Dry Leaves, and Powdered Charcoal, among other organic products, to guarantee a high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC).

BENEFITS FOR YOUR GARDEN

  • Sustained Growth: A balanced, slow-release supply of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).
  • Living Soil: Improves structure, aeration, and water retention, making the soil “friable” and easy to work with.
  • Dual Purpose: Ideal for orchards, pots, and nurseries. Its stability ($pH$ 6.0 to 7.5 and absence of ammonia) makes it safe and highly effective.

Quick Start Guide: Applying the Ferment

Bokashi K’áax is a concentrated and active fertilizer. Follow this guide for best results:

Step 1: Before Planting/Transplanting (Integration Protocol)

  • CRITICAL Recommendation: Incorporate Bokashi K’áax into the soil 15 days before planting or transplanting to allow the product to fully integrate.
  • Vegetables/Flowers: Mix 100 grams (approx. 1/5 of the 500g bag) per square meter. Incorporate superficially and water.
  • Large Pots (20L or more): Mix 50 grams (one handful) with the topsoil of the pot.

Step 2: During the Growth Cycle (Maintenance)

  • Established Plants: Apply 30 grams (2 tablespoons) around the stem, without touching the base directly. Repeat every 4 to 6 weeks. Important: Water immediately after to integrate the fertilizer into the soil.
  • Young/Fruit Trees: Apply 200 grams around the base (at the drip line), 4 times a year (at the start of each season). Important: Water immediately to integrate.
