Gin distilleries are finding clever, sustainable ways to reuse their waste — turning leftover liquid, grain, and botanicals into compost, animal feed, and organic fertilizer. With the help of Effective Microorganisms like EM-1, Actiferm, and Organo Fresh, what was once waste is now a valuable resource for farms and gardens.

Dealing with dog poop in a small garden can be a challenge—but with the bokashi composting method, you can safely and sustainably turn pet waste into a soil conditioner for ornamental plants. Whether you're a seasoned composter or new to the idea, this guide walks you through how bokashi fermentation works for dog waste, step-by-step instructions, safety tips, and the best tools for odor-free, eco-conscious disposal.

In bokashi systems—especially those processing green waste—sharp drops in pH can disrupt the delicate balance of beneficial microbes, leading to poor fermentation and unpleasant odours. Aegir sea shell grit, a natural calcium carbonate buffer, plays a crucial role in preventing these swings. By gently stabilizing pH, Aegir supports a thriving microbial ecosystem, enhances nitrogen retention, and improves the quality of the final compost—whether you're working anaerobically in a sealed bucket or aerobically in a garden heap
