with no foul odours or bugs. This rich<br />

compost has twice the nutrient value and<br />

moisture of traditional compost, with<br />

none of the inherent issues associated<br />

with regular compost.<br />

What makes your products unique?<br />

We produce the only probiotic bio-intensive<br />

soil amendment in Canada. We inoculate<br />

non-GMO <strong>Canadian</strong> wheat bran<br />

with beneficial microbes, add a plethora<br />

of vitamins, minerals, organic whole<br />

food complex, amino acids, and special<br />

agri-minerals mined in northern Ontario<br />

and then put the mix through a unique<br />

fermentation process. The end product<br />

is a true living, organic, soil amendment<br />

that can be used with organic or<br />

conventional growing methods. Bokashi<br />

PRO-GRO actually kills pathogens and<br />

coliforms in the soil and plants as well<br />

as create a density of nutrients and<br />

minerals that is absent in most soils and<br />

in all soilless mediums. This product can<br />

be used through all stages of growth,<br />

from rooted clone, vegging, through to<br />

flowering cycles. It can also be used with<br />

synthetic nutes and will cut down on<br />

fertilizer usage. It also has applications<br />

in a soil mix, as a top dressing, or as a<br />

tea and foliar spray. The run-off is highly<br />

beneficial to the environment.<br />

How has the business evolved over the<br />

years and where do you distribute?<br />

We recently partnered with Home<br />

Hardware to market our Bokashi<br />

Compost Systems and Bokashi Plus<br />

Culture mix nationwide under the My<br />

Good Green Garden product line, and<br />

we currently sell our products through<br />

Homegrown Hydroponics and online<br />

atgoodgreenearth.ca<br />

Where do you see the<br />

company in 10 years?<br />

We expect to scale up our Bokashi<br />

composting sector to include institutional<br />

and commercial organic waste<br />

programs. We want to be a leader in the<br />

probiotic gardening products community<br />

and educate the public on how to get<br />

back to growing our medicine and food<br />

the way it is meant to be done. We want<br />

to put back into the soil what we take<br />

out, leaving no negative mark of our<br />

existence on this good green Earth.<br />

What is your company’s philosophy?<br />

To provide an environmentally<br />

sustainable alternative to chemicals,<br />

pesticides, and toxins, and to regenerate<br />

our soils with all the essential elements<br />

necessary to create and sustain a<br />

strong, productive, disease-free garden.<br />

We continue to strive to find new<br />

solutions to today's problems with<br />

regards to our air, soil, and water.<br />

Briefly summarize the products<br />

you manufacture.<br />

Bokashi PRO-GRO is a living, organic,<br />

fermented, soil amendment that builds<br />

a strong disease- and pest-free soil<br />

food web, resulting in strong, productive<br />

traditional compost,<br />

with none of the<br />

inherent issues<br />
