How to use Bokashi bran in your compost bin

When you start with an empty Bokashi compost bin, you start by sprinkling a thin layer of Bokashi bran at the bottom. Then you add kitchen waste little by little. Every time you put new food scraps in the container, you again spread an even layer of bran on top and lightly press the waste down before closing the lid tightly.

The combination of bran and food scraps ensures optimal conditions for fermentation. After a few weeks, you will have a valuable pre-compost that you can mix with soil, after which it is quickly transformed into nutrient-rich soil for your plants.

One kilo of Bokashi bran is typically enough for approximately 2-3 months of normal use of the compost bin.

About bokashi bran

Bokashi Bran, also sometimes called compost yeast, is a mixture of molasses (sugar and water) and natural, beneficial microorganisms (lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, photosynthetic organisms, actinomycetes and enzyme-active fungi), which initiate the fermentation process and prevent decomposition in the Bokashi Organko 2 composter.

Once the fermentation process is complete, the organic waste retains all essential nutrients (especially nitrogen) that would otherwise be lost through decomposition. As a result, the fermented organic waste is an excellent base for first-class compost.
