What is BOKASHI composting?
The term refers to the transformation of organic waste using the
principle of fermentation that is carried out by adding a dry mixture
of special Bokashi bacteria to the organic waste.
Unlike classical composting, here the fermentation process takes
place without air and relies on living organisms that activate upon
contact with organic material.
The output is not soil, as is the case for standard composting, but
rather a
fermented base
with clearly distinguished components of
organic waste intended for further use.
Basic description
This is an indoor bin designed for the processing of
organic household waste
,
which uses fermenting bacteria to transform organic waste to a fermented
liquid and fermented mixture. The obtained
fermented material
that
can be
used to create
first-class compost
, while the liquid has a range of possible
uses in the household.
The product you are holding is made of recycled material. Slight colour instability
is a natural property of this material, and so the colours of the individual parts of
the product might differ slightly. You may also notice minor visual defects such
as coloured dots or shiny smudges, but these do not affect the function of the
product.

Basic parts of the bin:
• lid (A)
• replaceable sealing (B)
• upper bin (C)

Why process organic waste at home?
By processing organic waste, you can save on fertilizer while providing your
plants with chemical-free nutrients. And all you need to do is process waste
instead of throwing it away. This helps return precious nutrients back to nature –
nutrients that would otherwise end up in a dump or incinerator.
Another benefit is the yearlong supply of material for the production of your own
compost and fermented liquid for fertilizing indoor as well as outdoor plants.
Technical data
Accessories:
• pressing piece (I)
• measuring glass
• filter textile (J)
Step-by-step guide to fermenting:
•
Place the filter textile (J) at the bottom of the separation insert (D) before
placing any organic waste in the composter.
•
Cut the organic waste into small pieces.
•
Spread the cut waste over the Filter textile (J).
•
Use the compressor to compress your chopped up waste to a maximum height
of 2 cm.
•
Spread one to two measuring cup of bran on the organic waste.
TIP: You can also mix the Bokashi bran with the organic
waste (to speed up the fermentation process).
•
Carefully close the lid (A) and check that it is properly sealed. Only open
the Bokashi bin when refilling it.
