Bokashi

Bokashi is the Japanese word meaning 'fermentation'. Bokashi Bran is revolutionary in that, when used with a Bokashi Bucket, allows you to compost all of your household food waste - including meat, fish, dairy products and even small bones! The Bokashi Bran is enriched with effective micro-organisms (EMs) and mollasses which ferments the food waste and neutralises smells. Once fermented in the Bokashi Bucket it can then be dug into the soil as an excellent conditioner, added to a compost pile or bin, or introduced to a Wormery. When introduced to a compost heap, the Bokashi'd waste acts as an accellerator to speed up the composting process.

The process also gives you a liquid which you can use as a plant food (dilute to hundred parts water) or to unblock / reduce algae build up in drains!

Have you discovered the wonders of Bokashi yet?

Bokashi Buckets are clean, odourless and simple to use. You simply introduce your waste to the Bokashi Bucket, sprinkle some Bokashi Bran over the top and repeat the process until the Bokashi Bucket is full. Then, you leave it for 2-3 weeks to complete the fermentation, drawing liquid off every few days. Once complete, the waste is ready to be dug into the garden, added to your compost heap or introduced to a Wormery to be 'finished off'. Because the Bokashi has fermented the food and neutralised any odour, it should no longer attract vermin when put into your composter.

Bokashi Sawdust Bran

In our ongoing attempts to keep prices down and offer the very best value, we have come up with a bokashi activator based on sawdust rather than organic wheat bran.

Sourced locally from untreated and sustainable resources (FSC assured) this clean sawdust goes through exactly the same process of innoculation with EM micro organisms, mixing, fermenting and drying as the bran. Being less dense than bran it is slightly bulkier and takes up a tad more space Kilo for Kilo (or pound for pound in 'real' money). Pleasant to handle and simple to use it is every bit as effective as bran in the Bokashi composting process. (*Please note that being wood based sawdust bran bokashi, unlike wheat bran bokashi is not suitable as a supplement to chicken feed or other animal feeds). Because of its fine structure and loose density, this sawdust will rot down itself just as speedily as it's wheat bran 'brother'.

However, as we can source the sawdust cheaper than the bran , we are delighted to be able to offer it at a lower price, so why not give it a try?

Bokashi Bran Nuggets

Bokashi Bran Nuggets are a byproduct of our production process. We carry out the labour-intensive process of Bokashi production here in our rural Devon headquarters.

To make the Bokashi we first mix careful measures of EM1 effective-microorganisms to our chosen substrate (usually wheat bran or clean, untreated, sawdust). After thorough mixing (using an industrial mixer) we pack the Bokashi tightly, removing all the air and store for several weeks in large airtight drums. Once the EM has had good time to inoculate the bran, it needs drying. On hot sunny days we do this outside by simply spreading the bran over tarpaulins - at other times we have specially modified racking that take advantage of the heat of our compost bin manufacturing room.

The final stage of the process, prior to bagging up, is the sieving of the finished product. It's at this point that we end up with a small quantity of lumps and bumps that have clumped together during the drying process. These are just as effective as the rest of the mix but of course are harder to spread evenly - so we offer them here with 25% off. The vast majority of them should easily crumble up with a squeeze.
