All Seasons Bokashi Compost Starter 2 lbs (1 Gallon) - Dry Bokashi Bran for Kitchen Compost Bin, Compost Food Pet Waste Quickly & Easily with Low Odor by SCD Probiotics

I purchased this product to better manage my Reencle composter. Reencle doesn’t offer a “booster” microbe product and after 2 yeats the soil in the Reencle needed the following: * Jumpstart bacterial activity * Expand microbial diversity * Handle protein/fat inputs more reliably * Reduce/eliminate occasional odor (key signal of anaerobic imbalance) After some product research, I decided on the following products to address these goals: As the Primary Booster, I chose Roebic Bacterial Compost Accelerator (model CA-2.5-12). For Secondary Stabilizers, I chose: * Bokashi bran (1–2 tablespoons occasionally) to handle meat scraps. * worm castings (a small handful periodically) as a “reset tool” when odors occur. One Insight Most People Miss (Important): Compost boosters aren’t just about “adding bacteria,” they also: * Supply enzymes + nutrients that help bacteria multiply * Help restore the carbon:nitrogen balance indirectly Even if I’m consistent about these products, the microbial ecosystem can still drift over time—especially in a closed appliance. RESULTS: So far, this plan has been working perfectly! No issues at all. Reencle’s compost starter product is $65. This is the product used to get a new Reencle started. Their one bag does it all, but it’s a one-time, one use product. I suppose I could occasionally just spoon some in as a booster, but I wanted a solution that would boost a composter that has already been running pretty well for 2 years and give me the tools to fix problems commonly associated with composting. The combined cost of the three products listed above was about $75, but for $75 the quantity of products I have is a lot more than just one little Reencle bag. Not only is this approach more cost effective, I have separate products to address specific problems—basic boosting, handling of meat scraps, and odor control.

It doesn't the job thanks a lot

This bokashi starter is amazing. I failed at my first round of bokashi, but after getting a new set up (diy using a clear 5 gal beverage container to see if things putrefy) and this bran, it has been smooth sailing. We diverted nearly 25 gal of food waste (peels, bones, etc) from the landfill using bokashi this past winter (Nov - June). It is easy to use and does the trick. Great value. Awesome!!

I’ve been using the All Seasons Bokashi Compost Starter for a while now, and it has truly transformed my gardening experience. Here’s why I’m a fan: Versatility: Initially, I bought this as a compost starter, but it turned out to be so much more.
