Bokashi Composting

What is Bokashi Composting?

Bokashi is a convenient way to ferment food waste in your kitchen for composting.

Microorganisms anaerobically (without air) ferment the waste and breaks the organic matter down. This helps to compost the organic matter faster when buried in the ground. Typically, the whole process from food waste to compost takes about 1 to 2 months. The fermentation takes place in an enclosed system, so insects and smell does not post a worry.
The finished fermented organic matter will have a sweet, sour odor. Sometimes white mold may coat the surface. The fermentation process will produce a rich nutrient juice that must be extracted to prevent the organic matter becoming petrified. This juice can be diluted with water and watered directly to your plants.

Therefore, there are no waste in Bokashi composting.
