Turning Food Scraps Into Liquid Gold for the Garden 🌿
Our small backyard homestead takes a big step forward today — we’re finally turning our everyday kitchen scraps into one of the most powerful fertilizers you can make at home. This is our first Bokashi compost bin build, and it’s the start of creating real, sustainable nutrients for our tiny backyard garden.
In this episode, we show how to:
• Set up a Bokashi compost bin from scratch
• Turn food scraps into nutrient-rich “Bokashi juice”
• Create an easy compost system for small backyard gardens
• Make liquid fertilizer that boosts plant growth fast
• Reduce kitchen waste and support a self-sufficient lifestyle
This step-by-step project shows how simple it is to turn an ordinary bucket into a fermentation system that breaks down food quickly and produces a powerful fertilizer for your raised beds, vegetables, herbs, and seedlings.
If you’re researching Bokashi composting, how to make homemade fertilizer, or how to start a simple compost system in a small suburban space, this episode walks you through the basics and shows how it all works in real life.
