What’s Unique About Bokashi Composting?
Bokashi composting is a technique for fermenting organic waste utilising a specialised inoculant like bokashi bran within a sealed container. This anaerobic process rapidly decomposes the waste, yielding a nutrient-rich soil amendment. When opting for an indoor compost bin from Rotaform Plastics, you'll need to purchase the Bokashi sprinkle or bran separately, which consists of beneficial microorganisms facilitating the fermentation of food scraps.
This composting method lets you compost food scraps, including ones typically not allowed in traditional composting methods. You can effectively compost common kitchen scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, cores, trimmings, cooked and uncooked food (including meat, fish, bones, and dairy products), eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags, bread, and pasta.
This process takes approximately four to six weeks to transform food waste into a microbe and nutrient-enriched material. Its swift and straightforward nature makes it suitable for individuals lacking outdoor space for a traditional compost bin. In addition, the microorganisms in the Bokashi bran help eliminate the smells of putrefaction and decay, making this bin ideal for convenient indoor use (when kept away from direct sunlight).
What Can I Use My Compost for?
Your indoor compost bin has two parts. In the bottom layer is a liquid component, often called Bokashi juice or tea, while the upper layer contains solid food waste. You can bury the solid waste in your garden, ensuring you refrain from direct contact between the solid waste and plant roots for 2 to 4 weeks due to its elevated acidity. Otherwise, add it to a traditional compost pile.
The Bokashi tea, rich in nutrients, is an excellent plant food. Dilute it and utilise it as a fertiliser for your gardens, houseplants, or lawns, offering a nutrient boost to your green spaces.
