“The totally natural way to reduce, reuse and recycle organic waste”

Recently I was invited to present a talk to a group called Woman in Farming about the role of ZingBokashi in waste management down on the farm.

A common issue was unpleasant odours from their waste water or septic tank systems Much of these are as a result of use of antibiotics and domestic chemicals –in particular some laundry products.

Compost Zing is proven as a useful tool in controlling odours in septic systems and often is combined with EMA or activated EM. This combo can be used in old-style septic tanks as well as in the modern chambered types.

Regular usage results in the following benefits.

• Significant reduction in unpleasant odours from both open and closed systems.
• Improved operating efficiency
• Reduced surface crusting
• Reduced sludge accumulation
• All natural
• The combination of all these factors will assist or help in improving the overall operating efficiency of all septic and waste water systems.
• An added bonus is having the cleaning period extended

Often when systems are overloaded smells will also appear when there has been none for some time.

This often occurs when family members or visitors arrive and septics systems can easily become ‘out of balance ‘ during this time.

Regular usage of either Compost Zing and or combined with EMA will improve the function of your septic systems.

ZingBokashi has now available a natural soft phosphate called Mainphos Guano for usage in the garden. Sourced and mined from caves in Indonesia, this product is certified organic by BioGro [no 5135]. It contains numerous nutrients essential for plant life and without the toxicity of other man made superphosphate fertilisers.

Advantages:

• Can be used effectively at planting as it contains sufficient soluble phosphate to produce an initial kick start.
• Has no nitrogen and a high phosphate content to focus plant energy on production of flowers, fruit and vegetables
• Phosphate is one of the 13 essential elements for plant growth and development and makes its contribution through a favourable effect to many plant functions such as root development, flowering and fruiting.

Mainphos guano contains 9% phosphate in both a soluble and slow release form plus 21.96 % calcium, therefore it has little effect on soil acidity.

Usage:

• For best results apply to garden soils at 40gms [approx ½ handful] and lightly rake into soil the surface.
• Or when transplant seedling simply add a teaspoon into the bottom of transplant holes before adding transplants. Water lightly afterwards.

This product is packaged in convenient 3 kg bags and will give coverage of up to an area of 75m2 .

Storage:

• Keep dry

Ideal for root crops such as potatoes

ZingBokashi is pleased to advise that we have available for release, a new product. This product has undergone extensive field trials and has produced excellent results when added to

• potting media incorporated at 5% by volume -resulted in a higher value fertiliser effect.
• glasshouse soils – helps reduce soil borne diseases.
• garden soils – speeds up the breakdown of crop residues and green crops when       turned back   into the soil.
• soil as a side  dressing – assists in the release of nutrients and  increases soil biomass

Research has also shown that fertiliser usage can be reduced over time when EarthZing is used on a regular basis. EarthZing is all natural and contains beneficial microorganisms, fishmeal, seaweed meal humates and basalt rock flour incorporated into plant based byproducts. EarthZing is a ‘living’ product and provides nutrients and stimulatory compounds to growing plants resulting in

• Increased shelf life
• Intense colour
• Increased flowering
• Increased water holding capacity of soils.

The product is packaged in convenient 2.5kg bags and this will cover an area up to 60m2. Note:  EarthZing should be stored out of direct sunlight in a cool place. ***  Order now for Spring garden preparation
