WHAT CAN I PUT IN THE BOKASHI BUCKET? + WHAT CAN I DO WITH BOKASHI TEA?

WHAT GOES IN THE BUCKET?

• Fruits and Veggies! Peels, rinds, skins, cores (cut down to small size) etc.
• Old rice, spent coffee/tea
• Old bread, crusts (I’ll throw away anything that’s moldy though, we don’t want competition for the EM-1)
• Egg shells, eggs
• Meat scraps, fish, bone pieces (small pieces)
• Cheese rinds
• BASICALLY ALL FOOD WASTE except what’s listed below.

What does NOT go in the bucket?

• LIQUIDS including fry oil
• MOLDY or already rotting food (competition for the EM-1)
• LARGE bones (these would take a MUCH longer process to break down completely)

USES FOR BOKASHI TEA

• Dilute the tea, 1:100, and use as garden fertilizer
• Compost accelerator
• Pour into drains to clean them out naturally!
