What is Bokashi?

Bokashi is a Japanese word that means “fermented organic matter." Zing Bokashi is New Zealand’s original Bokashi product with over 20 years of proven results. 

Our Zing Bokashi home composting kit is simple to use because you place all your food scraps in the bucket including raw or cooked meat, citrus, and fish and poultry with small bones included. There is minimal to no odour, it doesn’t attract flies and all you need to add is a sprinkle of our Compost Zing to kickstart the fermentation process. 

Bokashi is a two-stage process. The first stage occurs when your food waste ferments in an airtight environment within the Zing Bokashi bucket. Stage two is the decomposition process which needs to take place in soil or a compost pile. Your homemade compost will be ready to use four weeks after you start your Zing Bokashi system.
