Bokashi Active Bran which is a dry mixture of bran and molasses that has been inoculated with the correct levels of Professor Higa’s tiny creatures. Sprinkle a layer of Bokashi Active Bran over the kitchen waste you want to compost, and that’s it… the beneficial micro-organisms in the Bokashi get to work treating your waste in a process that takes just a couple of weeks. At the end of the process the waste doesn’t really look as though it has decomposed, if anything it looks as though it has been pickled, but when it is incorporated into soil (or added to a conventional compost heap) it breaks down amazingly rapidly, releasing large quantities of soil boosting probiotic micro-organisms which nourish the soil naturally.


Bokashi Value Pack (18 litre), Black Kit
 £62.00
This is our recommended start-up system for Bokashi composting. It includes 2 of our Bokashi Buckets and 1kg of Bokashi Active Bran – all loaded with beneficial micro-organisms – plus Instructions. Start off your Bokashi composting with one of the buckets. Keep adding your waste mixed with the Bokashi Active Bran until this bucket is full, then set it aside and leave it for a fortnight. After this you can safely add the contents to your conventional composter or dig them into your garden where they will compost amazingly quickly. Meanwhile you can carry on composting using the second bucket.

Our Bokashi Active Bran is the heart of our Bokashi Composting system. It is a dry mixture of bran and molasses that has been inoculated with beneficial micro-organisms… a carefully controlled mixture of microscopic bacteria, yeasts and fungi that work together to speed-up composting, suppress pathogens, prevent putrefaction and eliminate foul odours. 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. Our Bokashi can be used in any suitable container but we recommend our Bokashi Bucket (P2107) which is made from a special beneficial micro-organism impregnated plastic. A 1kg pack of Bokashi Active Bran should last approximately 3 to 4 months when used in this composter.

Bokashi Bucket (18 litre), Grey
 £37.50
The composter bucket is pretty small (300mm x 245mm x 370mm), only 18 litres in volume (Can-O-Worms holds 70 litres) and has an air-tight lid so it’s sealed up tight like a giant Tupperware box. This bucket is made here in the UK from a special plastic loaded with beneficial micro-organisms. A sump and tap in the base allow you to collect any excess liquid that drains off during the process, we even include a small plastic cup that fits neatly under the tap to help you collect the liquid. You can buy this Composter on its own, but you will need to add our Bokashi Active Bran, also full of beneficial micro-organisms, to use it.
