INSTRUCTIONS

1. Beginning with a new bucket add a thin even layer of Bokashi Bran to the bottom (approx 1/8 C)
2. Place your first layer of food waste in the bottom no deeper than 2-3 inches
3. Add an additional layer of Bokashi Bran to the top of this layer
4. Press firmly down (potato masher is excellent for this) to exclude as much air as possible
5. Continue layering your food waste
6. When finished place plastic, wax paper, plate, or some other cover over the top of the food (to keep air off of
the surface) and press down
7. Place air tight lid on bucket and store until next time it is needed (the warmer the storage place the faster the
fermentation process occurs)
8. When you have more waste, retrieve your bucket, open the lid, remove the cover, and continue layering (2-7
above) until bucket is full
9. Drain liquid from bucket every 2-3 days (liquid may not always be present) See Below
10. Once bucket is full, allow contents to ferment for an additional 2 weeks
11. Drain off bucket liquid one last time (liquid may not be present)
12. Dig a trench or hole in the garden, raised beds, compost pile, soil box, etc 12“ deep
13. Pour the contents of bucket into hole/trench, spread evenly, mixing some soil into waste with shovel and cover
everything with remaining soil
14. Plant directly over hole/trench in 2 weeks
