Bokashi Composter Bin

Transform your food waste into valuable plant food with a Bokashi Composter

A Bokashi Composter ferments and pickles your food waste in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without odours. The method involves placing all your food waste into fully sealed containers and sprinkling the all-important ‘Bokashi Bran’ over them before sealing the container.

Unlike the traditional compost heap, the fermentation process takes place without air in a sealed container.  It relies on living organisms (bokashi bran) that activate upon contact with organic matter and begin the breakdown of the organic material (anaerobic decomposition).

The output is not soil, as is standard composting, but rather a pickled form of waste, which is a pre-composter. This can then be added to your garden or compost pile to continue the composting process.

The advantage of this is that it speeds up the composting process. It takes approximately two weeks to ferment waste in the Bokashi bin. It will also produce a nutrient tea (liquid feed packed with beneficial microbes) that is also good for your garden and plants!

Layer food waste with Bokashi bran until the bin is full. Leave for 2 weeks, regularly draining any nutrient liquid that is produced.

Bokashi Bin FAQ

What can you put in your Bokashi Composter?

You can put almost any food waste in your Bokashi Bin, including vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy products, and cooked leftovers. It is not recommended to add meat, fish, or anything that has been processed, as they do not break down quickly enough.

What should you not put in a bokashi bin?

Certain items, such as meat, fish, and processed foods, should not be put in your bokashi bin. Additionally, you should avoid adding oils or fats to the bin, as these can become rancid and attract pests.

It is also best to avoid adding large amounts of food waste at once, as this will cause the composting process to slow down.

Is the Bokashi Bran Included?

Yes, there is a starter portion included in your bokashi bin to get you started. This starter portion consists of a special blend of beneficial microorganisms and bran, which will help to quickly break down the organic material in your bokashi bin.
