This business was founded with his partner Eddy Lepp. His approach (what he called \u003cstrong\u003esolid-state fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e) delivered visible white, pillowy mycelial growth on mulch and faster breakdown in living beds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlan launched \u003cstrong\u003eGro-Kashi\u003c\/strong\u003e, which set the bar. Later, a past employee of BuildASoil named AJ built on that legacy with Kashi Blend at Growing Organic. When that chapter closed, we came full circle: Alan rejoined us. Together, we set out to make the best bokashi for gardens, treated like a premium culinary experience for your soil from start to finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s Inside (and Why It Matters)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePremium High Phos Rice Bran\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEM-1 (Dr. Higa’s original)\u003c\/strong\u003e to drive consistent, proven fermentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood Vibes Paramagnetic Basalt rock dust flour\u003c\/strong\u003e for coenzymes and trace mineral synergy along with paramagnetic energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsect frass\u003c\/strong\u003e as an additional food source for the biology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall percentage of Redmond sea salt\u003c\/strong\u003e to round out the fermentation ecology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic cane sugar molasses\u003c\/strong\u003e (never the cheap stuff) to feed the process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It’s Crafted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented, dried, and finished with care by Alan, whose process has been refined over years of hands-on work.
