The Gardening Naturally Organic Bokashi Bran - 2Kg is for home composters seeking an effective and odor-reducing method for processing kitchen waste. Its key benefit is transforming food scraps into nutrient-rich pre-compost quickly, with a caveat that it requires a sealed bokashi bin for optimal results. This bran contains billions of specially selected microbes that initiate fermentation, converting waste into a valuable soil improver in just a few weeks.

You should use 10-20 grams of Bokashi Bran each time you add food or organic matter to your bokashi bin.
A 2kg pack typically lasts for about two months when used for regular kitchen waste composting.
You can add most kitchen scraps, including fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, small amounts of cooked food, dairy, and meat scraps. Avoid adding large amounts of oil or liquid.
It's your kitchen waste that has been transformed through anaerobic fermentation initiated by the Bokashi Bran. It's a pickled state, ready for a secondary decomposition phase in your soil or compost heap.
No, the fermented material should ideally be added to a compost heap or dug into garden soil a few weeks before planting. It needs to break down further in the soil to become fully available nutrients for plants.
Bokashi is a Japanese term that translates to 'well-fermented organic matter'.
Proper bokashi composting should produce a mild, sweet, or slightly sour/vinegary smell due to fermentation, not a rotten odor. If it smells foul, check the seal on your bin and your dosing of the bran.
Ensure the bokashi bin lid is sealed tightly to maintain an anaerobic environment. Check that you are using the correct amount of bran (10-20g per layer) and pressing down waste to remove air pockets. Avoid adding excessive amounts of liquid or very oily waste.
This is normal, but if excessive, ensure you are pressing down waste adequately. Drain the leachate regularly via the spigot. Dilute and use as fertilizer or dispose of responsibly.
Some surface mold can occur if the seal is not perfect. Ensure the lid is fully airtight and try to cover new additions completely with bran or a small amount of existing material.
Allow an additional week or two for fermentation. Ensure the bin has remained sealed and that the temperature has not been extremely cold, which can slow the process.
Setup: The Organic Bokashi Bran requires a sealed bokashi bin system. Ensure your bin has an airtight lid and a spigot to drain excess liquid (leachate). Simply sprinkle the recommended amount of bran (10-20 grams) over each layer of kitchen waste added to the bin. After adding waste and bran, press down the contents to minimize trapped air. Secure the lid tightly to maintain the anaerobic environment.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with all standard sealed bokashi composting bins. It is designed for processing typical household kitchen waste, including fruits, vegetables, coffee grounds, tea bags, small bones, and cooked food scraps. It is not intended for use as a standalone fertilizer but as a composting accelerant.
Care: Store the Bokashi Bran in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The packaging is a single recyclable bag. Once the bokashi bin is full, allow the contents to ferment for at least two weeks before using the pre-compost. Drain any leachate produced by the bin regularly; this liquid can be diluted and used as a potent fertilizer.
