With this starter kit of products from EMIKO, you get everything you need to make your own very high-quality plant fertilizer from kitchen waste.
All the necessary products are already included and you can ferment kitchen or garden waste immediately and reuse it effectively.
EMIKO's Effective Microorganisms ferment the organic material and perform a perceptible improvement of the soil, be it for indoor and potted plants or even in the garden.
The resulting kitchen bokashi can be used just as well as, for example, EMIKO's organic bokashi slow-release fertilizer.

Converting kitchen waste into plant nutrients

Bokashi translates as "fermented organic material". Kitchen and garden waste of all kinds is well chopped and layered in the bokashi bucket and fermented in it under exclusion of air. The sugars contained in the waste are used by the Effective Microorganisms to multiply, the pH value is reduced and negative microorganisms are displaced.
In this process, the nutrients contained in the waste are broken down and supplemented with the natural metabolic products of the Effective Microorganisms.

Recipe for a high quality Bokashi

• Grind kitchen waste well to increase the surface area. This facilitates and speeds up the metabolism of the Effective Microorganisms.
• Place the organic material in the Bokashi bucket and spray with EMIKO soil additive or EMa.
• Sprinkle with EM Super Cera C powder.
• Seal airtight and, if necessary, weigh down with a bag (filled with sand, for example).
• Leave to ferment for a fortnight at room temperature.
• You can drain the resulting liquid every two days through the drainage tap.
• Dilute with water in a ratio of 1:100 and use as a fertilizer.
• Other than compost, the fermented Bokashi has hardly changed its original appearance.
