Complete set for fermenting kitchen waste.

The Bokashi Kitchen Set from Emiko enables the creation of high-quality and natural garden fertilizer right in your own home. This set allows kitchen or garden waste to be fermented in a bucket using effective microorganisms (EM), offering an ideal solution for environmentally conscious individuals aiming to act sustainably. Bokashi, a type of compost, is naturally formed through microorganisms and fermentation.

In contrast to conventional compost, Bokashi is produced without oxygen access, facilitating the breakdown of foods like meat and dairy products. After the fermentation process, the Bokashi still resembles the original kitchen remnants but is rich in valuable microorganisms, making it an ideal long-term fertilizer for the garden.

The Bokashi Kitchen Set includes the Organko 2 Bokashi Bucket with a capacity of 9.6 liters. Additionally, it comes with a one-liter Garden and Soil Activator equipped with a spray head, along with 1 kg of plant-based Bokashi, complemented by a convenient small shovel. The Garden and Soil Activator contain effective microorganisms that support the fermentation process within the bucket.

Self-made Bokashi is a versatile fertilizer suitable for all types of gardens and plants, whether for vegetable beds, flowers, or potted plants. Its application is straightforward: kitchen or garden waste is chopped and placed into the Bokashi bin. Between the layers, three sprays of garden and soil activator are applied. The material is firmly pressed down to minimize air inside the bin and then sealed with the lid. After a week, the bin should not be further filled or opened. After three weeks, the Bokashi is ready.

The benefits are evident: Bokashi is a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional fertilizers, allowing for a meaningful use of organic waste. It provides plants with an optimal foundation for healthy growth due to its rich nutrient and microorganism content. Moreover, it supports zero-waste principles as almost all foods - from vegetables and fruits to bread, meat, cheese, and yogurt - can be bokashi composted.
