RoPro litter biochar with EM

RoPro litter is a biochar pre-activated with the most effective microorganisms for applications in the garden and in the animal area:

• Production of Terra Preta (Bokashi, Compost)
• Odor and humidity control in stables/cages/aviaries

RoPro litter is ideal for black earth production (Terra Preta)

RoPro-Streu biochar is produced in Germany and mixed with EM-aktiv, RoPro-Lit, and sugar cane molasses as the primary nutrients, and then bagged. Packaged in this way, the charcoal can already begin to ferment, allowing initial colonization of the pores with fermentative microbiology.

Fermentation is required to bind nutrients into biochar: Organic material, such as kitchen waste, manure, green waste, or grass clippings, is fermented with the help of effective microorganisms (EM-active 5-10 L/m³) and RoPro litter (10% by volume) under anerated conditions (bokashi). Fermentation with EM binds nutrients in the charcoal and protects it from leaching.

Additionally, antioxidants and enzymes are produced that stimulate the healing of plants and soil. After the fermentation period (approximately 4-8 weeks), the fermented material can be left to rot in a pile or incorporated into the soil as fermented raw compost.

Benefits of Terra Preta soils

• Nutrients are not washed out
• The soil's water retention capacity increases. Black earth soils survive dry periods much better.
• The soil organisms settle and loosen the soil
• The ground warms up faster
• Over the years, an extremely productive, sustainable and deep humus layer is formed

Recommended use of kitchen bokashi:
Each time you put kitchen waste into the Bokashi or Organiko bucket, sprinkle approximately 30-50 ml (or 2 shot glasses) of RoPro litter over the kitchen waste
and then sprayed generously with EM pure (EM-blond or EM-active), then the organic matter is pressed down with a trowel and sealed airtight.

Recommended use for composting:
2 bags of RoPro litter (45 L each) / m³ compost
sufficient EM-active (5-20 L / m³ organic) pure or diluted
up to 25 kg RoPro-Lit primary rock flour
are sprinkled or poured in layers onto the organic matter.

These additives make composting faster and more even. The addition of RoPro litter ensures less nitrogen and carbon loss. The rock flour supports the rotting process. The need for turning or turning the compost is reduced or eliminated entirely. Ideally, the compost should be allowed to mature for two years.
