Earth Bokashi 4kg

"Feed the soil and not landfills by using Earth Probiotic s bokashi kit to easily recycle your food waste into soil food.

All food waste can be added into the bokashi bin, including cooked and raw food, meat, seafood, small bones, citrus, and eggshells.

This is a two-step process:

layer food waste between generous handfuls of bokashi until the bin is full, then set aside for 2 weeks to complete the fermentation (pickling) process.

After the fermentation period, the contents, while looking exactly as when added, is now ready to be safely composted, buried or fed to an earthworm farm in order to break down into the soil.

No composting takes place in the bin.

The contents can sit in the air-tight bin for many weeks and still resemble exactly what was added. With no smell, as no rotting occurs due to the fermentation.

Only once the contents are added to other organic material will the magic of composting begin.

During the fermentation period, a liquid is often produced. This acidic by-product is diluted 1:300 (liquid: water) and used as a soil drench, or poured undiluted into your compost heap.

Often no liquid is produced at all and this is due to the food type added to the bin (fruit & veg is high in water), temperature (more liquid in warmer conditions than cold), and length of fermentation (long periods tend to produce more liquid).

The absence of liquid is not an indication that the fermentation has not worked.

Recycling food waste helps reduce your personal carbon footprint and ensures a safer and cleaner home and kitchen environment, while adding valuable nutrients, minerals and micro-organisms into your soil.

All our products are 100% South African produced. Our bins are made up of 65% recycled material and are recyclable.
