How to use your ZingBokashi juice

Drain the juice from your bottom bucket every two or three days. It is best to use the juice within a day of collection.

The amount and colour of liquid in the bucket changes depending on your food waste as some foods such as fruit and vegetables produce more liquid than others.

Sometimes you will see white fungus growing on the liquid. This is a good sign and means that the juice contains beneficial microbes.

You can use your Zing Bokashi juice as a garden fertiliser or around the house.

The juice is “liquid gold” for your garden. It contains nutrients from the food waste and is alive with beneficial microbes.

To fertilise your garden or plants dilute the juice, 2 Tbsp to 5 litres of water and apply to the soil.

For foliage dilute the juice , 1 tsp to 5 litres of water and spray over the leaves.

To prevent algae build up and control drain odour you can pour the undiluted liquid directly into your kitchen sink, bathroom drains, and toilet.

If you have a septic tank system you can keep it clean by adding the juice to your toilet and then flushing it through the system. It is best to do this late  at night when you won’t be using the septic system for six to eight hours.
