Pro-KashiBokashi

Fermentation Bucket

Your Pro-Kashi brand fermenting bucket

is made of HDPE-2 FDA approved

plastics. These are high grade, foodquality materials that will offer years of 

service.

After you bury your Bokashi wastes clean

your bucket and lid with dishwashing

liquid and water. With the soapy water in

the bucket, press the drain button and

allow the liquid to flow through and clean

the spout. Rinse everything, including the

spout, with fresh water. The cardboard

and parchment liner does not need

cleaning. It is inoculated with thebeneficial microbes and not cleaning it

will allow them to be passed on to the

next batch of food waste.

There is no need to use bleach or 

chlorine products at all. If you wish to do

something in addition to soap and water,

spray the bucket’s interior, exterior, and

spout with hydrogen peroxide lightly and

allow it to dry. That’s it. C lean up is as

easy as filling it up with Bokashi.

Thank you for choosing Pro-Kashi’s

Bokashi Fermentation Bucket. Your product

utilizes FDA approved Food Grade plastics

in the bucket, lid, and spout. The inner liner 

is biodegradable baking paper and

cardboard. There are 2 inner liners (one touse and a spare for later).

A Choice

Your choice to begin Bokashi Composting

and using Beneficial

Microorganisms helps to

divert over 30% of all

wastes now going to

Municipal Landfills and

reduce greenhouse gas

emissions. Use Bokashito promote safe,

effective, nontoxic

natural farming techniques and soil building

alternatives to the use of chemical agents.

How

Bokashi composting uses naturally

occurring bacteria, yeasts, and phototropic

organisms to ferment/pickle organic wastes.

Guiding the decomposition process this way

prevents the loss of nutrients in thecomposted materials, makes these nutrients

more bioactive and quickly available to

plants and soil organisms, while adding

naturally occurring beneficial enzymes,

vitamins, and minerals. Bokashi compost

feeds the soil which in turn creates a

healthier environment that feeds the plants;

allowing the plant to use its energy to grow

larger, healthier, faster without the side

effects of chemical usage.

The Process

Open the lid and remove the inner liner of your 

new Pro-Kashi Fermentation Bucket.

Fill the bottom of the bucket first with a thin

layer of Pro-Kashi Wheat Bran Bokashi and

begin layering organic kitchen wastes on top—

no more than 2” to 3” deep per layer. 

Between each layer of waste sprinkle a 1/8 cup

or small handful of Pro-Kashi bran on top, press

down with a small potato masher, hands, or use

your inner liner to remove as much air as

possible from inside the layer(s), Cover the

waste surface with your inner liner, this keeps

air off of the surface of the top most layer (this

is an anaerobic—without air process).

Snap on your bucket’s air tight lid—that is it.

Continue the process of adding waste material

layers and Pro-Kashi bran until the bucket is

full. All the while the material inside is

fermenting and being inoculated with Beneficial

Microorganisms that are digesting the waste.

Every 2-3 days remove the liquid that will co llect

in the bottom of the bucket. This is a living tea

that has additional uses - do not waste it.

When the bucket is full, allow it to ferment

sealed for an additional 2 weeks. Drain the

liquid one last time and then simply bury the

waste 6” to 12” inches deep in the garden,

mixing some soil into the waste and thencovering the entire mix with the remaining so il.

Do not let plant roots come into contact with the

fresh material for about 2 weeks when burying.

Alternatively add Bokashi to existing compost

piles, tumbler bins, or place in the bottom of 

raised bed or planter pots (place a layer of soil

or compost in the bottom of the planter pot first,

then Bokashi compost, then a 12” layer of so il

on top). When adding Bokashi compost to the

ground, mix some soil into the fermented waste

to assist in the final break down of the material.After 2 weeks plant directly on top. That’s it.

Uses

Bokashi bran composts organic kitchen

wastes to include meats and dairy (not

possible with other composting methods)

Bokashi bran can be used as natural kitty litter 

and odor reducer in cat boxes and small

animal cages

Bokashi bran can be used to compost pet

wastes in an outdoor digester. This compost 

cannot be used for human gardening/food 

consumption; however, it can be used to

fertilize ornamental plants and flowers.

Bokashi bran can be used by itself to

stimulate soils, compost piles, lawns, break

down garden wastes, increase soil micro and

macro biota.

Bokashi liquid that is drained from the buckets

during fermentation is a living tea full of 

beneficial and bioactive microorganisms,

enzymes, and vitamins.

Bokashi liquid can be diluted and sprayed as

a foliar fertilizer on plants, flowers, soils, and

traditional compost piles.

Bokashi liquid can be used full strength to

remove odors from drains, naturally digest

clogs in slow running drains, and added safely

to septic systems to increase their efficiency.

Bokashi composting can be done year round.
