Free Drop-off Available

Support the program without subscription: Non-subscribers can drop off separated materials at our facilities to support community transformation, but do not receive monthly dividends from NIWMA compliance benefits.

How Monthly Dividends Work

Subscribers only receive monthly dividends calculated from:

  • Real-time market value of recovered materials sold through PlanetAngel
  • Municipal cost-sharing from NIWMA compliance benefits (based on R18,000/ton savings)
  • Carbon credit revenue from waste diversion activities
  • 25% of PlanetAngel gross revenue returned to community

Material supporters welcome: Non-subscribers can drop off separated materials to support community transformation, but do not qualify for monthly dividend payments as they are not part of the formal property transfer and NIWMA compliance framework that creates the legal basis for community benefit-sharing.

🌱 DIY Bokashi Composting - Make Your Own!

Want to start bokashi composting on your own property? Here's how to make your own effective microorganism (EM) solution and bokashi bran at home.

🥜 Homemade Bokashi Bran Recipe

Ingredients Needed:
  • 10 kg wheat bran (or rice bran, sawdust, or fine wood shavings)
  • 1 litre EM-1 or homemade EM solution (recipe below)
  • 1 litre water (chlorine-free)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses or brown sugar
Instructions:
  1. Mix molasses with water until dissolved
  2. Add EM solution to the water mixture
  3. Gradually add liquid to bran while mixing thoroughly
  4. Mixture should feel slightly damp (squeeze test: holds shape but crumbles)
  5. Pack mixture in airtight container or sealed bag
  6. Ferment in warm, dark place for 2-4 weeks
  7. Sweet, pickled smell indicates successful fermentation
  8. Dry the fermented bran and store in airtight containers

🧪 Homemade EM Solution

Simple Rice Wash Method:
  • 1 cup rice (any type)
  • 1.5 cups water (chlorine-free)
  • 1 litre milk (any fat content)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
Process:
  1. Day 1: Rinse rice with water, save the cloudy rice water
  2. Days 2-7: Let rice water ferment in covered jar at room temperature
  3. Day 7: Strain out any solids, add equal amount of milk
  4. Days 8-14: Ferment milk mixture (will separate into curds/whey)
  5. Day 14: Strain clear yellow liquid (this is your EM)
  6. Storage: Add molasses, store in fridge up to 1 year
💡 Usage Tips:

• Use 1-2 tablespoons of bokashi bran per layer of kitchen scraps
• Dilute EM liquid 1:500 with water for soil application
• Sweet, fermented smell = good; putrid smell = restart process
• Store finished bokashi bran in cool, dry place

Community Benefit: Making your own bokashi helps your garden thrive while reducing organic waste. The finished compost improves soil health, water retention, and plant nutrition - perfect for Mels Table Gardens and any growing system!

⚡ Electroculture & Magnetoculture for Plant Health

Simple methods of applying atmospheric electricity to significantly increase plant growth using basic materials like copper wire and magnets to vitalize the soil and increase yields by 100% - 200%.

📡 DIY Copper Antenna System

Materials Needed:
  • 12-14 gauge copper wire (5-6 feet length)
  • Wooden or bamboo stake (4-5 feet tall)
  • Pre-1982 copper pennies (optional enhancement)
  • Small magnets (rare earth magnets work best)
Construction Steps:
  1. Coil copper wire around the stake in clockwise spiral
  2. Leave 6-8 inches of wire extending upward (antenna)
  3. Leave 4-6 inches extending down into soil
  4. Strip plastic coating from wire ends if needed
  5. Insert stake 12-18 inches deep near plants
  6. Attach copper pennies (pre-1980) to boost effectiveness
  7. Space antennas 8-10 feet apart in larger areas

🧲 Magnetoculture Techniques

Copper Coil Method:
  • Wrap copper wire around plant stems - 4-6 loops
  • Create soil rings - coil wire around planting area
  • Seed treatment - place seeds between magnets overnight
  • Water energizing - place magnets under water containers
Magnetic Field Applications:
  • Pot gardens: Attach magnet to copper coil, insert in soil
  • Garden beds: Bury magnets at corners with copper connections
  • Seed starting: Place magnetic coils under seed trays
  • Tree treatment: Larger coils around trunk base

🌿 Reported Benefits

Increased Growth

Oats grew upwards to 7 feet+, potatoes 6 feet 3 inches high carrying 30-35 tubers weighing 1-2 pounds each

Enhanced Nutrition

Grape vineyards affected by Phylloxera were healed and rejuvenated, grapes became sweeter with richer flavor

Natural Pest Resistance

Plants become healthier and more resistant to pests and disease, reducing need for toxic pesticides

Reduced Inputs

Eliminates need for fertilizer and pesticides while dramatically increasing yields

⚠️ Safety & Best Practices
Safe Setup:
• Small electroculture setups pose no harm to pets or people
• Use properly insulated wire connections
• Avoid large antennas during thunderstorms
Best Results:
• Cucumbers, spinach, and lettuce respond particularly well
• Copper tools preserve soil magnetism unlike iron tools
• Combine with organic soil amendments

PlanetGuardian Integration: These techniques work beautifully with bokashi composting and Mels Table Gardens. Utilizing Earth's natural magnetism to enliven soil and stimulate plant growth while building sustainable, productive food systems that benefit your family and community.

Important Note on True Waste

Any actual "waste" (materials without recoverable value) requires separate municipal collection. We'll pay on PlanetGuardians' behalf and invoice accordingly, so communities aren't penalized for participating in legal material recovery.

♻️ Recyclable Materials = Your Property

Materials with recoverable or beneficial value that you separate become constitutionally protected property. This includes inorganics (paper, plastic, metal, glass, electronics) that can be reprocessed or reused.

🌱 Organic Materials = Your Property

Garden and kitchen organics (including cooked food and bones via bokashi composting) are compostable property with beneficial value for soil enhancement and carbon sequestration.

🗑️ Waste = Municipal Responsibility

Legally defined as property without recoverable or beneficial value - goes in your municipal wheelie bin funded through rates. If unsure, give it to the municipality.
