Bokashi composting is one of my favorite ways to make extra use of an abundance of food scraps. By building a simple bokashi bin or bokashi bucket, and using inoculated bran as a fermentation agent, you can ‘pre-digest’ food scraps before you put them into your soil.
It’s an absolutely amazing way to compost quicker, and compost MORE. You can compost meats, fats, oils, and cooked food with bokashi, none of which you’d put in your hot compost pile or worm bin.

why not make your own Bokashi lab?
can put animal feaces?
I watched your video in early 2020 and now I’ve moved to my newest farm and am doing this method I’m on my first bucket which is ready to sit for a couple weeks before going out to the garden bed
Thanks for sharing
What to do with the drained liquid?
Was given an unwanted Bokashi bin, any tips on converting it to a worm farm?
Great video. Now I can finally use the bokashi bin I bought about 10 years ago!
why not just bury old waste in garden why need bokashi
1st you said, you are going to use Lactobacillus (the bacteria that converts milk to yogurt), but you used grains used in beer making. Those are supposed to have Yeast spores, which are proved when you get white molds. Bacteria won't give you mold. Molds are formed due to the presence of yeast/fungus. I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!
You are always the best thank you!
How do you innoculate the grain with the lactobacillus?
Hmm….fiberglass screen on the bottom (reusable), and a thrift store plate for the top…..wheels are turning here…..
I would be super interested to know if you found that this had improved your soil when you planted in that bed after using bokashi??
Too much admin, what happens if you dont drain the "tea"?
45 dollars for a bag of moldy bran, whoever buys this is a nut.
They literally make it by adding water to bran or soy and letting it stand anaerobic for a week.
Super great video super informative and clear. Thank you for your work. I learned a lot. Questions – where do you store your Bokashi buckets while you wait for the fermentation to be ready? And can you add bones as part of the food scraps?
Can you add to the bucket over a period of time until full then let set to process?
I live in Mesa, AZ and the soil can be very hard. I have a small are to garden in., I have a coffee can with a lid that I put my table scrapes in. When it is full, I walk out to the garden and dig a hole and dump the coffee can contents into hole and then cover it with dirt. My garden rows can be turned over with very little effort. Anyone that lives in AZ understands what that means. I'm in my 70's and need very little work. My method works for me. Good luck on all the methods suggested.
This must be what my town does. We have to separate all food scraps from regular trash so they could compost it down. But I always wondered how they could compost fat, cooked meat, cooked bones and stuff like that
Kevin, what kind of tree do you have growing behind you?
Teraganix has the best bran.
I wouldn’t trust this beer waste garbage.
Do better.
This is a terrible take on bokashi methodology.
Huuuuge thanks man! I'm on my own composting project too.
Sorry can you use the leachate as a liquid fertilizer?
How often can you bury this in your garden?
can you put bokashi directly on your grown plants/trees?
Thank you for the very informative video. I have only just started looking into this. I was expecting you to pour the liquid in as the bokashi tea. What did you do with the tea/ liquid?
thanks
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Would it be beneficial to have worms in the soil?
Great video, thank you so much!
