Bokashi is a type of composting method that uses microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, to break down organic waste materials. It is a fast and efficient way to compost a wide range of organic materials, including food waste, paper, and yard waste.
The bokashi composting process involves placing organic waste materials in an airtight container, such as a bin or a bucket, and adding a mixture of microorganisms, or bokashi "bran," (also DIY) to the waste. The microorganisms ferment the waste, breaking it down into a nutrient-rich compost that can be used as a soil amendment.
Bokashi composting has several advantages over traditional composting methods. It can process a wider range of organic materials, including meat and dairy products, and it can be done indoors, making it suitable for small spaces.
