Make Your Own Bokashi Bran with UCRRA

Join UCRRA for this hands-on workshop to learn how Bokashi Bran is used to ferment food scraps into nutrient-rich compost. Bokashi composting is an anaerobic process that breaks down food scraps in a sealed, air-tight container using beneficial microbes. Bokashi bran is the key ingredient—it’s a grain-based material inoculated with these microbes, which jump-start fermentation and make it possible to compost foods like meat, bones, and dairy. After fermenting, scraps are added to a compost pile to finish decomposing, helping speed up the overall composting process. Participants will leave with bokashi bran.
