Question 1

What can I use the Bokashi Juice for?

Accepted Answer

Bokashi juice contains nutrients from the food waste and is packed with micro-organisms so it makes a great free fertiliser! it is really strong so it needs to be diluted with water at a 100:1 ratio, that really is 100 parts water to 1 part bokashi juice, - think a couple of spoonfuls for every litre of water.

Pour the concentrated Bokashi juice directly into kitchen and bathroom drains, toilets and septic systems. It helps prevent algae build-up and control odour. And as a huge bonus, it contributes to cleaning up our waterways as the good bacteria compete with the bad bacteria! A win win.

Question 2

What to do if...... There’s blue and black mould in my Bokashi Bin bin.

Accepted Answer

The best way to deal with this is to throw the whole batch away. The problem is caused by one of three things:

You have added really mouldy food into your kit.
You haven’t added enough Bokashi Bran.
There is too much moisture in the bin so the liquid needs draining.

Question 3

What to do if there’s white mould growing in my bokashi bin?

Accepted Answer

This is good news. The white mould is actually a fungi and shows that the food waste is fermenting rather than putrefying. Fermentation is precisely what you want in your bokashi bucket. So, if you see white mould on your bokashi food waste, you can be confident that all is well in your bokashi bucket.
