Table of Contents

Specifications:

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure that the composter is clean and dry before starting the process.
If using the supplied MAZE ‘Liquid’ Bokashi, skip to Step 2. If using ‘Bran’ Bokashi, proceed with the following steps.
Place a layer of ‘Bran’ Bokashi at the bottom of the composter. The recommended amount is 20ml, which is equivalent to 8-10 sprays of ‘Liquid’ Bokashi.

Step 2: Adding Organic Waste

Collect your organic waste such as fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, and leftovers.
Cut or break larger pieces of waste into smaller, manageable sizes.
Add the organic waste to the composter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Avoid adding large amounts of liquids or oily substances as they may affect the composting process.
Close the composter lid tightly to prevent any odor leakage.

Step 3: Applying Bokashi

If using the supplied MAZE ‘Liquid’ Bokashi, follow the instructions mentioned in this step. If using ‘Bran’ Bokashi, skip to Step 4.
Open the ‘Liquid’ Bokashi bottle and spray 8-10 times over the added organic waste. Ensure even coverage.
Close the composter lid tightly after applying the ‘Liquid’ Bokashi.

Step 4: Fermentation

Allow the organic waste to ferment in the composter for at least 2 weeks.
During this period, it is recommended to drain any excess liquid that may accumulate in the composter through the provided tap.
Check the composter regularly for any unpleasant odor or signs of mold. If necessary, add more ‘Bran’ or ‘Liquid’ Bokashi to suppress odor or prevent mold growth.

Step 5: Using the Compost

After the fermentation period, the waste will have transformed into nutrient-rich compost.
Remove the compost from the composter and allow it to mature for an additional 2 weeks in a separate container before using it in your garden or potted plants.
The compost can be mixed with soil or used as a top dressing for plants to enhance their growth and health.
