Two litre refill bag of bokashi to produce a natural, rich soil conditioner and liquid fertiliser. Made in Australia using wheat bran and rice husks that have been sprayed with a group of micro-organisms that exist freely in nature.
Bokashi Official Stockist
This Bokashi mix is dried thoroughly so it can be stored for years with no loss of effectiveness. The dry ingredients in the mix are simply a carrier and food source for the micro-organisms which are dormant when dry in the packaging and activate again when added to your waste.
Bokashi ferments the waste in the bokashi bucket, eliminating unpleasant odours. When the waste is buried in the soil, the mix accelerates the breakdown of the waste and adds life and nutrients to the soil. This mix can also be used as a great compost starter!
How to compost with Bokashi mix
Is fermenting better than compost?
Compost is a very good source of nutrients for your garden, but because of the composting process, much of the goodness is lost. Fermented waste, however, retains all of the energy (no heat loss) and most of the nutrients in the waste, so that all of this material is available to your plants. Also, fermented waste has the bonus of providing beneficial microbes to your garden, and this will over time produce amazing results.
Is fermenting good for the environment?
Fermenting waste is far better than composting. Greenhouse gas emissions are greatly reduced during fermentation, there are no insect or rodent problems, and the end product is extremely valuable as a soil conditioner and fertiliser. Also, the process retains all the energy (not released to the atmosphere) and all the water is retained and not evaporated.
Bokashi grains should be stored in a cool, dark location and the bag kept airtight.

Works so well at masking the food scrap smells and I find it lasts ages.
We love how the bokashi mix ferments food so quickly. We now have next to no waste as well as getting fertile healthy compost for our garden. My two young boys complain of the compost Snell when I open the bin to add food scraps but I find it a sweet fermented smell. It is definitely not a rotting foul smell!
This does help speed up the decomposition process, however only slightly i found. Also helps keep the smell down. I would treat it as an extra not a necessity.
I love the bokashi system for disposing of food waste and I prefer the 2L pack of bokashi mix because it takes me too long to get through the bigger one.
Does exactly what its meant to. No putrid smell on compost and only need small amounts
