Using it couldn't be easier... just sprinkle a layer of Bokashi over the kitchen waste you want to compost. The beneficial micro-organisms in the Bokashi get to work treating your waste in a process that takes just a couple of weeks, after which it breaks down amazingly rapidly when is incorporated into soil or added to a conventional compost heap. Simply dilute the juice 1 part to 30 parts water and put it on your plants for an excellent fertiliser.
When bokashi bran is stored correctly (at room temperature, and out of direct sunlight - and in a sealed container), your Wiggly Bokashi Bran will remain effective for up to 18 months. Some microbes may survive longer, but the effectiveness of the bokashi bran will then decline over time.
Wiggly’s Bokashi Bran, a high-quality compost accelerator, is made with a rich mother culture for efficient and robust fermentation.
Contains:
- Wheat Bran: The primary carrier for the microbes, wheat bran is sustainable and absorbs excess moisture, perfect for the fermentation process.
- The Mother Culture of Beneficial Microbes: A mixture of beneficial bacteria, yeasts, and fungi that work together to accelerate the breakdown of organic matter, reduce odours, and suppress pathogenic bacteria.
- Molasses: Acts as a food source for the microbes, encouraging growth and activity during fermentation.
- Water: Used to activate the micro-organisms and ensure the mixture is moist enough to begin fermentation.
Not Suitable for Human Consumption. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 18 months.
How to use Bokashi Bran for Food Waste
1: Save Scraps; Collect all food waste (inc veg, fruit, meat, fish).
2: Layer and Sprinkle: For every 2cm of waste, add a tablespoon or two of Wiggly’s Bokashi Bran into an airtight bin.
3: Wait and Ferment: Once the bin is full wait for 2-4 weeks (Wiggly Tip: Keep a second bin ready to use while the first one ferments. This way, you can continuously process scraps, swapping bins as needed.)=
4: Boost your Soil: Mix the fermented waste into soil or add to your composter or wormery.
5: Benefit: Improve soil health, reduce waste and grow a vibrant garden.

Q: What sort of compost do I get out of my Bokashi Kit?
A; Bokashi is more about "pickling" your waste than actually composting it. The Effective Micro-organisms in the bran activate as it gets damp and this ferments your waste. This means the end result once you have filled the bin and waited for about 2 weeks looks pretty much the same as when you put it in... However this fermented waste is very different to your original waste and will smell "pickly" and the key thing is once you put it into a trench in your garden or compost heap it it will be exposed to the air and will break down very very quickly. At the same time this material is not attractive to vermin.
Q; What sort of waste can be used in the Bokashi Kit?
I understand majority of it is kitchen waste (meat, fish, fruit, vegetables), can paper be used such as junk post mail, magazines and so forth?
A: You can ferment all kitchen waste but it would be pointless to add paper as the Bokashi doesn't compost the waste it ferments it pickles it. Paper does not smell and so you would add this to a conventional composter without a problem. In our office we use a Bokashi Bucket for all our lunch scraps, fruit peelings etc and then we shred all our paper waste for packaging.
Q: How do you know if the waste is broken down by the microbes from the bran?
A: The waste is not broken down, its fermented and you can tell very easily as the whole thing has a sweet pickly smell to it. The process is all very easy. As you fill the bucket you add a sprinkling of Bokashi. Once its full you start on another bucket leaving the original to ferment over the time it takes you to fill the next. In most people's experience that takes about two weeks.
