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.

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. Not only does it kickstart the composting process, but it also works wonders as a soil and plant amendment. Whether I’m growing veggies, flowers, or herbs, the All Seasons Bokashi enhances soil structure and fertility, leading to healthier, more productive plants. Nutrient Boost: Mixing this into my soil feels like giving my plants a nutritious hug. The organic, all-natural composition ensures that I’m feeding my green babies the best possible nutrients without any harmful chemicals. Plus, the results are remarkable – improved root development, stronger stems, and bigger blooms. Compact Size: The 2-pound package is perfect for my needs. It lasts through multiple gardening seasons, and a little goes a long way. Great value for the money! Low Odor: Unlike some compost starters, the All Seasons Bokashi keeps odors in check. No more stinky compost bins! Critical Note: Some users have reported issues with the ziplock seal separating. While I haven’t encountered this problem personally, it’s essential to handle the packaging carefully to preserve the anaerobic environment that bokashi bacteria thrive in. In summary, the All Seasons Bokashi Compost Starter is a game-changer for anyone serious about gardening. Give it a try – your garden will thank you! 🌱🌼

Fantastic product. Keeps my countertop compost stink-free and keeps the fruits flies away as well. Love this product. Just sprinkle a bit every time youput something new in the compst bin and voila! your're already breaking down the materials before you add it to your main compost bin.

Helps break down food scraps. Also, helps w/the smell. Jus wish it was a lower price.

Works great to control odor in my indoor collection bucket. I throw in a small hand full every couple of days. It "prestarts" the composting process as we dump our indoor collection to the outdoor bins weekly. Used in this way a 2 lb bag lasts me about a year so don't be fooled by the size and price. Suggest that you keep the bag inside a metal can with a tight lid to deter mice.

So far a decent product.

Not sure if this product is working yet but no smell and is easy enough to use. However only 3 stars because the first bag was ripped on the package and they actually wanted me to send it back which I did. Was poorly packaged and it was on every single thing inside the box. Second delivery was fine

I use this to jumpstart my outdoor compost pile every year. It works well and and is safe for my pets and veggies.

It doesn't the job thanks a lot
