While it is okay to add one or two moldy slices of bread into a bokashi bucket, too much of it can spoil your batch. Never add liquids like milk or juice because the excess liquid can cause an unpleasant anaerobic smell & make it go bad. Some other no-nos for bokashi composting are: * Soda cans * Aluminum foil * Plastic * Glass * Styrofoam As most paper products contain hard crunchy cellulose, it can take a bit of time for the bacteria to digest. Be mindful with some paper cups because

Bokashi Composting Single Bucket Bokashi Composting keeps food waste out of landfill and adds life and vitality to your garden at the same time. The Bokashi One bucket can be used indoors and is easier to maintain than a worm farm. An essential for the sustainable home and garden! Included with Bokashi Bucket: 1 x Bokashi One bucket Airtight lid, separator grate and tap Full instructions (Remember to buy your Bokashi Mix!) What is Bokashi Composting? Bokashi Composting is an eco-friendly, convenient and hygienic composting system designed to be used in the kitchen. It utilises food waste to produce a nourishing compost and rich juice which inject life and vitality into your garden. What Can be Composted in the Bokashi One System? All food waste, including meat, seafood, dairy, citrus, onions, garlic, egg shells and cooked, raw and processed foods. How does Bokashi Composting Work? Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi is a fermentation process. Bokashi One Mix contains wheat bran and rice husks inoculated with beneficial microbes. In anaerobic conditions (created in the Bokashi One Bucket simply by closing the airtight lid), these microbes break down food waste and create Bokashi juice. Both the fermented food waste and Bokashi juice add nutrients and life to your soil, for strong, healthy, nutrient-dense plants. The airtight lid and tap make this system odour-free and suitable for indoor or outdoor use. How does Bokashi Composting Benefit your Soil? Bokashi Composting increases the vitality of your garden by nourishing your soil with beneficial microorganisms. Through the Bokashi composting process, billions of microbes are added to your soil which results in a healthier environment for your plants (and then you) to thrive. These microorganisms are essential for promoting soil health and supporting plant growth, providing numerous benefits for your garden including: Nutrient Cycling: Beneficial microorganisms break down organic matter in the soil, converting intricate compounds into more manageable forms and helping to release necessary nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for enhanced plant absorption. Improved Soil Structure: The presence of microorganisms can lead to the formation of stable soil aggregates, ultimately improving the overall structure of the soil. As a result, water infiltration is enhanced and the risk of erosion is reduced. Disease Suppression: Beneficial microorganisms naturally control harmful pathogens, effectively preventing soil-borne diseases and promoting stronger plant immunity for increased disease resistance. Plant Growth Promotion: Beneficial microbes found in the Bokashi One Composting System stimulate root growth and increase plant productivity by producing growth-promoting substances and aiding in nutrient uptake. This organic process results in stronger and healthier plants. Control of Pests: Beneficial microbes function as natural pesticides, aiding in the control of harmful insects and pests by maintaining a harmonious ecosystem within the soil. Soil Aeration and Gas Circulation Microbes play a crucial role in creating channels and tunnels within the soil, optimising gas exchange for a well-balanced environment of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Composting with Bokashi One not only reduces waste sent to landfills, but also has a positive impact on your soil. Preparing your soil with Bokashi One now will yield beneficial rewards for the healthy of your soil, garden and you. Instructions: Add a thin layer of food scraps (2-3cm) to the bucket and press down to remove air gaps Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of Bokashi One Mix over the compressed food scraps Continue until the bucket is full Leave undisturbed for 2-3 weeks for full fermentation Bury fermented food waste in your garden or add it to your compost bin While bucket is filling, draw off Bokashi juice, dilute, and add to your garden Why Have Two Bokashi Buckets? Two Bokashi One Buckets means Convenience! It's important to let the fermentation process finish completely before food waste is buried. Longer fermentation leads to a quicker breakdown of the waste once in the soil, and more wonderful Bokashi juice is produced. A second bucket gives you somewhere to put your food waste while fermentation finishes off in the first bucket. With a two-bucket system you can bury the fermented food waste from one at any time before the other bucket is full. With only one bucket, once full the waste needs to be buried immediately to continue to use the system. Prefer to have two? Try the Bokashi One Starter Kit for just $210.00 Starter Kit includes: two Bokashi One buckets airtight lids, separator grates and taps two bags of inoculated Bokashi One Mix full instructions Dimensions: 410mm high x 310mm wide x 300mm deep volume 20L, holds approximately 19L food waste Bokashi Items we stock: Bokashi One Composting System - Single Bucket Bokashi One Composting System - Starter Kit Bokashi One Composting System - Replacement Tap Bokashi One Composting System - Replacement Lid Bokashi One Composting System - Replacement Grate Bokashi One Composting Mix - 4kg Bokashi One Composting Mix - 1kg

Gainesville Compost Chief Engineer & Inventor Steven Kanner mixes bokashi grain into UF Krishna Lunch food waste. A guest post by Chris Cano (I ran into Chris recently at Porter's Community Garden. You can read about this at The Gainesville community behind Porter's Garden. He talked about this different type of composting, so I asked him to educate us. Thanks, Chris.) Upon running into Ginny at Porters Community Farm, I was excited to share with her about our Gainesville Compost initiative, particularly about a new food scrap fermentation solution called bokashi which we have been experimenting with at the Porters plot. While the Gainesville Compost initiative collects hundreds of pounds of food scraps per week, we have normally handled this by way of traditional pile composting and vermicomposting (using earthworms). Recently, we learned about the centuries' old Japanese bokashi method of composting, which uses anaerobic bacteria to ferment food scraps, thereby reducing odors, reducing the volume of waste, and preparing the scraps to be more easily digested by microbes in the soil or compost pile. During last week's workday, while many of the volunteers planted fruit trees, we were working on another project: handling an impromptu load of approximately 1,000 pounds of cooked food from the University of Florida's popular Krishna Lunch program, which serves about 1,000 students a day on campus. While we have handled Krishna Lunch's pre-consumer food waste for nearly a year, their post-consumer leftovers have been going to a pig farmer. On this day last week, the Krishna Lunch coordinator gave me a call with an emergency request: "We have 44 buckets of cooked food waste in buckets, is there anything you can do for us?" So we decided to help. Our last bokashi experiment proved to be fruitful. The process, as described below, resulted in a 40-percent reduction in volume in one week, a 60-percent reduction in volume in two weeks, and a virtually odorless end product, which after one week in our compost piles has nearly decomposed completely. To make/use bokashi: 1. Start with a grain substrate. In our case, we've collected spent grain from a local beer brewery. 2. Inoculate your grain with a culture of microorganisms commonly known as "Effective Microorganisms" or EM1. (We purchased our first batch, but now we are maintaining a culture for future use.) 3. After one week, mix the inoculated grain into a container of food scraps. We went with a ratio of around 1:10 parts grain to food scrap. Seal the container. The liquid drained from the bokashi process is a microbe-rich soil amendment. 4. Throughout the following week, you should drain the liquid, which can be used as a microbe-rich soil amendment. Draining the liquid helps to reduce the volume and weight of the material as well as prevent the process from going sour. 5. After a total of two weeks fermenting, open the container and you will likely notice a surprisingly odorless mix that has dramatically reduced in volume. You can apply this food scrap (which visually resembles its original state) to the garden by burying right in the soil, or to the compost pile where it will rapidly break down. We are excited about using bokashi to improve our process. Bokashi has the potential to be a great urban composting solution (mainly because of its odor elimination), but also an amendment and soil builder for rural agriculture. In fact, we've got a waiting list of local farmers who are eager to try it. Happy composting! -- If you'd like to learn more about bokashi and receive updates on our progress, visit GainesvilleCompost.com Chris Cano is "Compost Experience Officer" (CEO) at Gainesville Compost, a pedal powered community compost network in Gainesville, FL, which works to turn waste into sustainable soil for the urban agriculture movement.
