  • 1

    Hot-Composted Wood Chips


    Raw wood chips are broken down through an active hot-composting cycle until fully stabilized.

  • 2

    Stabilized, Not Nitrogen-Hungry


    Because they're composted first, the chips build your soil instead of pulling nitrogen from it.

  • 3

    Bokashi-Fermented Blend


    We ferment the full blend with our Hawaiian Bokashi inoculant, preserving nutrients heat alone would burn off.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes this different from Triple Mix?

Triple Mix blends topsoil, black cinder, and our Bokashi-enriched compost. This blend adds composted wood chips to the mix, giving it more structure and longer-lasting organic matter — better suited to orchard planting holes and fruit trees than raised beds or vegetable gardens.

What makes this different from straight Bokashi Compost?

Our Bokashi Compost is compost only. This blend combines that same Bokashi fermentation process with topsoil, wood chips, and cinder for a ready-to-plant mix, rather than a pure soil amendment.

Is this safe to use right away?

Yes. All materials are fully composted and rested before blending and fermentation, so it's ready to plant into once delivered.
