Learn how to Purify Water with Microbial Mud Balls

Miki Katagiri, Dee Dee Maucher and Shig Matsukawa, Artists

Join Miki as she makes mudballs made of bokashi and dirt. By fermenting a concoction of molasses, effective microorganisms and water and later mixing with dirt, these mudballs break down lignin, fibers, cellulose, and chitin and suppresses pathogens in water. Simply put – these mudballs can break down the bad stuff in water and make it potable!
