Bokashi
Turn your food waste into a nutrient-rich powerhouse with bokashi, the smell-free ferment that pre-digests scraps for a healthier garden.
500 g = approx. 100 handfuls
Suppresses unpleasant odors and prevents flies- Accelerates the fermentation of all kitchen waste
- Preserves vital nutrients and carbon for the soil
- Contains charcoal to preserves nutrients for richer soil
Reduces landfill waste: around 40% of the average household bin is food waste. Bokashi diverts this from the landfill, where it would otherwise produce harmful methane gas.
Zero-waste kitchen: because the microbes can handle meat, fish, and dairy, you can process 100% of your kitchen scraps rather than picking through what is "safe" for a normal compost pile.
Convenience and speed: traditional composting can take 6–12 months and requires outdoor space to turn the pile. Bokashi happens in a small bin under your sink and finishes in a matter of weeks.
Saves money on fertiliser: you create two high-grade fertilisers for free, the liquid "tea" for houseplants and the fermented solids for your garden beds, replacing the need for store-bought chemicals.
Works all year round: standard compost piles often go dormant or "die" in the winter. Because Bokashi happens indoors in a controlled environment, you can keep recycling your waste through the coldest months.

How does bokashi work?
1. Inoculation
You add food scraps to an airtight bin and sprinkle them with Bokashi bran. This bran is loaded with beneficial soil-based microbes (bacteria and yeast) that immediately begin to colonise the waste.
2. Fermentation
Because the bin is sealed, these microbes work anaerobically (without oxygen). They produce lactic acid, which drops the pH level. This acidity:
Eliminates smells: prevents putrefying bacteria from causing odours.
Locks in nutrients: keeps nitrogen and carbon in the waste instead of gassing them off into the atmosphere.
Pre-digests food: breaks down the cellular structure of the scraps so they are ready for the soil.
3. The bokashi tea
During the process, a liquid byproduct collects at the bottom. This "bokashi tea" is a concentrated microbial tonic you can drain off and dilute to feed your plants.
Fermented with charcoal and 15 strains of microbes
Our bokashi locks in 100% of the nutrients and ferments the waste so it can transform into rich, probiotic soil in a fraction of the usual time.
