Photos from yesterday’s Feb 19,2011. Brunch, Bokashi & Mud Ball workshop at Jimmy’s No. 43 on 7th St. in the East Village, NYC.  Our next date there is March 12, 2011.
We had the workshop in romantic cozy “bar lighting” which worked out well but not for the camera.

Step 1: Scooping topsoil for Fermented-Food-Fertilizer-Pot

Step 2: scooping Fermented-Food-Fertilizer

Step 3: adding top layer of soil to Fermented-Food-Fertilizer-Pot

Step 1: Bokashi – Portion out the bran, dip into “Activated” JImmys 43 brunch bokashi and mud balls ’11

Step 2: Mixing the activated good microbes into bran.

Mixing until it holds a shape when squeezed

Step 3: Bagging the bokashi in “anerobic” ziplock

Baggies of bokashi. Dated for 2 weeks ready.

Smelling last workshop’s boakshi.. now fermented and ready. Ummm.

bioremediation notes on good microbes. Mud balls next.

Shig’s Mobile Education System expanded.

Enjoying the deelicious local beer from Long Island: “barrier”

We ran over time.  Lots of questions being answered. Lots of information to be shared. (I always learn a lot of new info)  Again, we had very active and engaged participants. March 12 We start at 1 sharp so we can start mud balls at 3:30.

By good fortune the next group in the space was a trio rehearsing for a blue grass competition at Theater 80 (sold out). Since they were expecting no guests we just cleared the stage area for them and we could pack-up while they played. Did anyone get their name?   Amazing!
