Panama Organic Bio-Fertilizer

Panama now has a certified 100% organic Japanese bokashi-style fertilizer available in quantity.

Why might you need this product? Panama's heavy rains frequently deplete our local soils of nutrients, so over time, something must be done to restore the mineral soil to productivity.

Modern agriculture in this situation calls for the use of several chemical amendments to feed the plants growing in the depleted soil, to make up for what the soil now lacks. But this is only a temporary solution. Chemicals quickly wash away, and need to be continually purchased and reapplied. Chemical fertilizer, in particular, destroys soil structure and kill the worms and micro-organisms in your soil, ruining its future productivity for a short-term gain.

An organic gardener, in contrast, seeks to feed plants by first building soil. The nutrients of the soil are stored locked away in organic mater, to be slowly released as the plant grows. In this way they are less vulnerable to being washed away by the heavy rains. This is exactly how Panama's jungles are so lush, despite the same rains.

Our 100% organic bio-fertilizer is full of beneficial micro-organisms to bring your soil back to life. This fertilizer has been created using micro-organisms collected from the native soils of the virgin jungles of Panama. We use a mixture of chicken manure, rice hulls, ashes, charcoal, sulfur and micro-organisms, all properly composted, fermented and appropriately aged.

Typical uses by customers include mixing with native soil when transplanting nursery plants and trees, for top-dressing existing plants, even for shrimp farming.
