Recycle Organic Waste In Half The Time

With the Bokashi method you can compost food scraps, meat, small bones and dairy in just 4 - 6 weeks.Ā Once the bucket is full, leave for two weeks without opening and then bury the contents straight into the garden soil.

What Is The Bokashi Compost Method?

BokashiĀ isĀ a Japanese wordĀ meaningĀ "fermented organic matter". The main difference between 'Bokashi' composting method and the 'traditional' composting method is that the food waste does not rot.Ā Rotting food, is what creates the foul odors associated with traditional composting.

The Bokashi method was developed in the early 1980s byĀ Dr. Teruo Higa, a professor at the University of Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. It involves layering kitchen scraps (vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and dairy scraps) with EMĀ® Bokashi bran in an air-tightĀ  bucket.

Unlike traditional composting, which is anĀ aerobic processĀ that requires oxygen, Bokashi is anĀ anaerobic processĀ that requires that you isolate the materials from oxygen as much as possible.Ā Ā The award winning design of the Bokashi Organko compost bin has an air-tight seal and a spigot at the bottom to drain off the liquid that is produced. TheĀ Bokashi liquid,Ā is a highly nutritious superfood that can be used to fertilize your plants.

In order to have a good understanding of the Bokashi composting method, we first need to understand Effective MicroorganismsĀ®, the main ingredient of EMĀ® Bokashi bran. These organic substances prevent organic waste from rotting, they accelerate the fermentation process and eliminate unpleasant odors.Ā 

Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi composting requires only about 10 days to convert organic materials into useable material, and the nutrient value of the material is among the highest of any composting method.
