Kenkashi

The farmers at Kenkashi harvest microbes from their farmland in Copper Hill, VA. The microbes are fermented and applied to hemp to create a compost accelerant. Treat your food scraps with Kenkashi in the compost bin in your kitchen, and fermentation begins; microbes begin breaking down the food waste, making the nutrients contained in scraps immediately available to the plants in your garden! This is the simplest, most direct way to make nutrients available to your plants, and to minimize the massive methane release of landfills and some compost.
