A week or so ago, I buried some fermented bokashi in my garden. Yesterday morning, I was digging a large hole to plant a shrub. The soil that was removed was full of worms, and since I wasn't going to put this soil back, I thought I'd remove the worms & put them on top of the buried bokashi. They all dived right in.
Today, I drained the juice off the current fermenting bokashi. About 2 cups worth. Since I didn't need it in the garden, I thought I'd just pour it on top of the buried bokashi. As soon as I did, worms started coming to the surface, wiggling all around like crazy. Half an hour later, they were all dead.
I had no idea this juice was so strong. When I use it in the garden, I dilute it down to about 1 teaspoon per gallon, which is pretty weak. Now I wonder if I've totally contaminated the batch of buried bokashi. Worms are needed to process it, and I may have just killed them all. Is there anything I can do now?
