Bokashi Composting: Overview

Bokashi composting is a fermentation process that uses anaerobic microbes to break down
organic waste quickly, resulting in nutrient-rich material that can be directly added to your soil or
further composted. Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi is done in sealed containers, and it
can handle food scraps that are harder to compost, like meat, dairy, and oils. The fermentation
process produces minimal odors and is faster than aerobic composting.

2. Ingredients for Ultimate Bokashi Compost

Base Ingredients:

● Food scraps: Any kitchen waste such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds,
eggshells, and even small amounts of meat and dairy.
● Bokashi bran: The key ingredient containing beneficial microbes (usually lactic acid
bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria) that ferment the food waste.
● Worm castings: To enhance microbial diversity and add humus.
● Rabbit manure: Adds additional nitrogen, nutrients, and beneficial bacteria to the mix.
● Black Soldier Fly frass: Enhances nitrogen content and adds beneficial chitin to aid
plant immune response.
● Biochar: Adds long-term carbon sequestration and nutrient retention, while providing a
habitat for microbes.
● Mycorrhizal fungi: Inoculate with fungi to help build symbiotic relationships with plant
roots and support fungal networks in the soil.
● Paramagnetic basalt rock dust: For adding trace minerals and enhancing
electromagnetic energy resonance.
● Molasses: A carbohydrate source to feed beneficial microbes and accelerate
fermentation.

3. Bokashi Bran: DIY Recipe

You can make your own Bokashi bran by inoculating a dry carrier (such as wheat bran) with
beneficial microbes and molasses.

Ingredients:

● Wheat bran or rice bran (or any other dried organic matter like sawdust or coffee
husks)
● EM (Effective Microorganisms) or LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria): This is the microbial
culture you will inoculate the bran with.
 ● Molasses: Provides a carbohydrate source for the microbes.
● Water (structured if possible): Use structured water that has been energized by
copper pyramids or spirals to enhance microbial activation.

Steps to Make Bokashi Bran:

1. Dissolve Molasses: Mix 1 cup of unsulfured molasses into 5 liters of warm structured
water.
2. Add EM or LAB: Add 1 tablespoon of Effective Microorganisms (EM) or Lactic Acid
Bacteria to the molasses water. Stir thoroughly.
3. Inoculate Bran: Pour the mixture over 1 kilogram of wheat bran (or an alternative) and
mix well to ensure even moisture.
4. Fermentation: Seal the mixture in an airtight container and let it ferment for about 2
weeks. Keep the container in a warm, dark place. After fermentation, dry the bran and
store it in an airtight container.

4. The Bokashi Process

Materials Needed:

● Bokashi bin: A special airtight container with a spigot to collect the liquid.
● Bokashi bran (DIY or purchased)
● Food scraps: Ideally chopped into smaller pieces to speed up the fermentation.
● Additional enhancements:
○ Worm castings: Adds beneficial microbes and enzymes.
○ Biochar: For nutrient retention and microbial habitat.
○ Rabbit manure: Boosts nitrogen levels and microbial diversity.
○ Paramagnetic basalt rock dust: Adds trace minerals and improves the energy
dynamics of the Bokashi system.

Steps to Start the Bokashi Fermentation:

1. Add Food Scraps: Layer food scraps in the Bokashi bin. Each time you add a layer,
press it down to remove air pockets (anaerobic conditions are essential).
2. Sprinkle Bokashi Bran: After adding food scraps, sprinkle a handful of Bokashi bran
over the top.
3. Add Enhancers:
○ Worm castings and rabbit manure: Sprinkle a small layer of each on top of the
Bokashi bran to further boost microbial diversity.
○ Biochar: Add a small amount of finely powdered biochar to improve nutrient
retention and microbial activity.
○ Basalt rock dust: Dust the surface lightly to provide trace minerals and
paramagnetic benefits.
 4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering food scraps, Bokashi bran, and the enhancements
until the bin is full.
5. Seal the Bin: After each layer, tightly seal the bin to create the anaerobic environment
needed for fermentation.
6. Fermentation Period: Let the Bokashi ferment for about 2 weeks in the bin. Drain the
liquid (Bokashi tea) every few days using the spigot at the bottom. This liquid can be
diluted and used as a powerful fertilizer.
7. After Fermentation: After 2 weeks, bury the fermented Bokashi in your garden or
compost pile. Alternatively, you can add it directly to raised beds or mix it into a compost
heap for further breakdown.

5. Optimizing Bokashi with Advanced Techniques

Electroculture Enhancements:

● Copper spirals or pyramids: Place copper spirals around or on top of your Bokashi
bins to harness electroculture principles. This will enhance microbial activity and improve
the fermentation process.
● Paramagnetic Basalt Towers: Position basalt stones or towers near the Bokashi bins to
create beneficial energy fields, boosting the microbial fermentation process.

Cymatics and Sound Frequencies:

● Cymatic Sound Emitters: Place sound emitters near your Bokashi bins tuned to
frequencies like 528 Hz (a frequency associated with growth and healing). This can
enhance microbial activity and accelerate fermentation.

6. Making Ultimate Bokashi Tea

The liquid drained from your Bokashi bin is called Bokashi tea. It is a powerful liquid fertilizer
that is rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms.

How to Use Bokashi Tea:

● Dilute the tea at a 1:100 ratio with water before applying it to plants.
● Foliar Spray: Use as a foliar spray to feed your plants directly through the leaves.
● Soil Drench: Pour the diluted tea around the base of your plants to enrich the soil with
nutrients and beneficial microbes.

7. Mimicking Ancient Forest Microbiology with Bokashi

To achieve the biodiversity and nutrient cycling of an ancient forest:

● Introduce Mycorrhizal Fungi: Add mycorrhizal spores to the Bokashi compost to

establish symbiotic fungal relationships. This is essential for nutrient exchange between
plants and soil fungi.
● Add Biochar: Just as in ancient Terra Preta soils, biochar helps retain nutrients and
supports microbial life for long-term soil health.
● Incorporate Paramagnetic Rock Dust: This simulates the mineral-rich environments of
old forests, where natural rock breakdown feeds the ecosystem.

8. Actionable Steps for a Regenerative Bokashi System

1. Collect Kitchen Scraps: Start collecting all food waste from your kitchen, even meat
and dairy.
2. Prepare Bokashi Bran: Make a batch of Bokashi bran using EM, LAB, or store-bought
Bokashi starter.
3. Set Up a Bokashi Bin: Acquire or build an airtight Bokashi bin with a spigot to collect
the tea.
4. Incorporate Enhancers: Add biochar, worm castings, rabbit manure, and basalt rock
dust to every layer for an enhanced microbial blend.
5. Fermentation and Application:
○ After 2 weeks, add the fermented Bokashi to your garden or compost.
○ Collect and use the Bokashi tea to fertilize plants.
6. Recycle the Fermented Bokashi: If possible, cycle the fermented material back into a
larger compost heap or directly into garden beds to accelerate breakdown and boost soil
microbiology.

9. Why Bokashi is Perfect for Regenerative Farming

● Faster Decomposition: Bokashi speeds up the composting process, turning waste into
plant-ready nutrients in as little as 2 weeks.
● Enhanced Microbial Diversity: By adding mycorrhizal fungi, worm castings, and
beneficial microbes like lactobacillus, Bokashi builds soil health similar to that of an
ancient forest.
● Regenerative Energy: The use of electroculture techniques like copper pyramids and
spirals amplifies microbial activity, creating a thriving, regenerative composting system
that aligns with natural energy flows.
By following this comprehensive guide, your Bokashi composting system will be maximized to
its full potential. This method will produce nutrient-dense, microbially active compost and
Bokashi tea that feeds your soil and plants, driving regeneration and vitality throughout your
garden.
