BOKASHI ALL FOOD COMPOST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place your Bokashi bin in a convenient place - eg .under kitchen
counter, under the sink - anywhere convenient indoors
2. Place the drain plate supplied at the bottom of the bin -
this allows excess liquid to drain.
3. Sprinkle a thin layer of Bokashi onto the drain plate in the bottom
of the bin.
4. Add any kitchen food waste to the bin as you produce it -
bread,citrus, vegetable scraps ,egg shells, small amounts of
paper, meat scraps, tea bags etc.
5. Place a 3-4 cm layer of waste in the bin. Compress /push down
the waste in the bin to remove any air pockets and compact the
material. Sprinkle a small handful of Bokashi over the food waste
so that the entire surface is exposed to the grain. Use one
handful per layer of waste. Continue layering until the bin is full.
6. Seal the airtight bin lid carefully after opening the bin.
7. Once or twice a week drain the liquid from the bin. Only turn the
stopcock three quarters of the way round. The liquid can be
diluted at a ratio of 1:100, liquid to water (10ml to 1 litre ) and be
used to fertilize your lawn and plants. Undiluted liquid can be
used to clear your drains and septic system.
8. Once the bin is full empty the contents into a hole or trench in the
garden. The material will be fermented but needs to go into the
soil in order to turn into humus.
9. Wash the bin with water (NO soap or detergent) and restart the
process of filling it with kitchen waste.
10. In 2-3 weeks the waste buried in the soil in your garden will have
broken down in to soil which is rich in nutrients, all naturally
produced.
11. Going on holiday? Drain liquid from the bin, sprinkle a layer of
Bokashi on top, make sure the lid is sealed and leave the bin to
ferment - the longer the better.
12. Store the Bokashi in an airtight container in a dark ,cool place.
