SCD Probiotics Bokashi Compost Starter

Bokashi is an anaerobic fermentation process, meaning it breaks down organic matter without oxygen. Unlike traditional composting that relies on decomposition, this method uses microbes to pickle your food scraps, which is generally faster and allows you to compost items like meat and dairy that typically shouldn't go in a standard pile.

Yes, while it is designed for indoor Bokashi bins, the fermented bran works effectively in outdoor tumblers as well. It acts as an accelerator to speed up the breakdown of waste and helps manage moisture levels in the bin.

Yes, the formula is made from all-natural fermented brans and minerals. It is non-toxic and safe to handle around both children and pets.

Yes. Because the microbes in the bran neutralize odors rather than just masking them, it is highly effective for household sources of smell like diaper pails, trash cans, and litter boxes. Simply sprinkle a small amount over the waste to keep things fresh.

While it is optimized for Bokashi-style bins—which typically have a spigot to drain liquid—you can use it in any airtight container. The key is ensuring the container can be sealed tightly to maintain the anaerobic environment required for fermentation.

A good rule of thumb is to sprinkle a generous handful over each layer of food scraps, roughly one to two tablespoons per inch of waste. You want to ensure the scraps are lightly coated to kickstart the fermentation process.
