I love the packaging. Makes for a neat experience with the product. The product itself is amazing at breaking down organic inputs.
Cathy L.
Works great! I've been using it for many years with no problems.
Mary G.
This makes the BEST compost I've ever used. My vegetable seeds grew strong, tomatoes were so productive, and fruit trees bore more fruit this year than ever before.
Davi S.
So effective in reducing odors in my chicken coop.
Richard R.
Great product, great service
Nicole C.
This has been a great product for my bokashi, just very effective

My bucket is not full yet but it's smells good. I have been using your Bokashi bran last few years and result is always great!
Sarah C.
I like being able to compost in a small space and a regular 5 gallon bucket. My buckets have lids so I can stack multiple buckets for saving space. The compost smells funny in the end but once buried in the garden I never smell it again!

Bokashi compost gives the plants a great boost

Tested by FluffyDiesel of industrial strength pee. This bierkashi is amazing. It does not soak up the urine, however it really neutralizes the stink. She will NOT use it as litter, however. She will pee into the box where I have punched holes; the liquid drips down into another box which is lined with the bierkashi. Works great. I then take the soiled bierkashi outside into my garden, leave it alone, let the elements neutralize it, and after a few weeks, it goes into the woods.

Our family creates a LOT of food scraps every week, so we like the large sized package of bokashi bran that keeps us supplied for a while. We can put dairy and meat products and other things in there that can't go into a regular composting system, and we can even keep it in the kitchen while it's getting filled up. And the fact that the bucket doesn't create bad odors is a major bonus!
We appreciate the biodegradable packaging, and that the bierkashi is an upcycled product.
Kyle D.
Great stuff! I spread it in the compost and all over my garden. Increasing fungi population everywhere I can!
Cheryl W.
I have finally finished my first 5 lb. supply of Bierkashi and ready for more! I have added my fermented waste to my garden in many areas and want to get more in the dirt before planting time in a few months! Excited for a wonderful year of growing as my soil is looking fantastic! Cheryl

This was my third order of bokashi and I don’t think I’ll be going back to traditional composting methods anytime soon. This is an easy method and requires much less work. It enriches my soil and I know this because wherever I have buried it, my plants grow twice as large in that spot. The only thing I have seen it not perform as well with is very woody scraps like grape stems. I now put those elsewhere and let them decompose over time on their own. It has a nice sweet smell and has never made my kitchen smell bad. I do use a charcoal filter in my indoor compost bin just in case, but have not had to change it in over a year.
Cathy L.
Works perfect
and I love the burlap bag it comes in.

Bierkashi Revolutionized My Composting Routine!
Bierkashi has transformed the way I approach composting, elevating my eco-friendly practice. Previously, I would accumulate a daily half-gallon of kitchen scraps, depositing them directly into the compost pile. Now, thanks to Bierkashi, my composting routine has become a process of efficiency and sustainability.
The key to this newfound success lies in the use of Bierkashi. I’ve adopted a two-bucket system, layering my kitchen scraps with Bierkashi and shredded paper. This dual-bucket strategy allows for a seamless rotation; when one bucket reaches its capacity, it integrates into the compost pile while the second bucket takes its place by the kitchen door. The result? An expedited composting process that yields nutrient-rich compost.
What sets Bierkashi apart is not just the effectiveness of the product but also its thoughtful packaging. Housed in a compostable bag and wrapped in burlap, it's not only environmentally conscious but also convenient. I keep it in my garage, easily accessible for each compost addition.
The positive experience extends beyond the product itself; Bierkashi's customer service is exemplary. They consistently demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction, enhancing the overall experience of incorporating their product into my daily routine.

I started using the Bietkashi method starting March 2023, and my first bucket is featured in this picture. I bought the kit because I wanted to reduce my food waste and hoped to use the resulting compost in a part of my yard where I had struggled to even just use a shovel due to very poor quality dirt.
I mixed in the first bucket of compost and let it sit for a couple of months. Last month I dug through the soil where I put the compost shown in this photo that I took 5 months prior. I was in tears because the difference in the quality of soil was so dramatically improved. After struggling with the dirt for so long, now my shovel sinks into the ground like a hot knife in butter. The soil color is richer, the smell of the dirt is so lovely… night and day. I will never stop using this product!!!
Fehren J.
Love it. I don't have time to be making my own bokashi mix like i used to. I use it for my kitchen scraps then add to soil that I need to build on this soil barren, volcano rock landscape... wish me luck that I get a food forest going thanks SB team. It's good stuff!
Kimberly A.
We've had great luck with the Bierkashi grains and air-loc lids. Every raised bed we added the compost to this season has outperformed our raised beds with brand new fresh soil. It's easy to do & we are loving how much food scrape waste we are reducing. Success!
Nancy M.
We have been using bierkashi in our compost bin and as a regular treatment in our waste system for several years.
Seems to help the processes so we are happy.
Nick B.
Have been adding thus into my organic compost after each few layers, as well as topping a few of my pots with it. So far I've seen lovely mycelium mats and everything is loving it! Great product!
Irma G.
bokaski system has been such a game changer, no worries about ratio of green/brown, no rodent issues, much faster than traditional composting. SD microbes bran is exceptional, in quality and quantity. I also purchased the Airscape lid, which I highly recommend.
Thomas M.
First time buying directly from SD. Love this brand.
Adrian A.
First time user but it has been working in my compost / food scrap bin.
James F.
I'm new in composting after researching the different methods I decided to go with bokashi after I watched a video (Wendi Phan). I have a bokashi bucket in my kitchen, I don't smell anything out of them (only when I open it to add more food scrap, it smells slightly like vinegar, but it's a good smell). I'm very happy with the BierKashi product.
Desiree P.
I have been using Bokashi from SD microbes for a little over a year now. I had no idea what I was really doing at first. But, I got two stainless steel containers from Behrens which are made in USA and do not contain lead (very concerned about using plastics and other chemicals around things I will eventually eat or go into the soil). They are very difficult to get the lid off at times because it is on there tightly, but that is what you want with Bokashi. I also use an in home compost pail and really start the process there. I put a little bokashi in the bottom and then every time I add scraps, which I cut up because they break down faster, I add another layer of Bokashi on top. When I take the pail out to the garage to empty it, I do not need to add more Bokashi. It has been working out very well for us. We are an average family but eat mostly fresh foods. Outdoor compost was not working out well for us. It was time consuming and we don’t have access to large leaves. I do find with the Bokashi, that it doesn’t break paper down well so I open up my teabags and empty the contents into my bin. When the scraps have fermented properly, they go into our garden.

SD Microbes lineup of garden inputs is top tier
Veronica F.
I love this stuff - I use it in all of my soil blends (including seed starting!) whenever I have it on hand. It’s like hammer-starting an engine: as long as there’s organic materials and/or a food source in your soil mix, bokashi will get the rest of the cycle cranking! Seedlings consistently emerge more resilient, and I’ve had almost no damping off since I added it to my protocol. Occupy your soil real estate with the good guys! ✨
Kirk B.
I'm new to Bokashi and really like how it works. Just started my second bucket while the first one is fermenting. Also added some to my house plants. TY!!
Erica S.
Excellent product and quick delivery
Jason H.
We've been using bierkashi now for well over a year and it's been working wonderfully. We compost all of our kitchen scraps using the bokashi first before taking it outside to the compost piles. The 50 lbs bag lasts us quite awhile. I've also used it for inoculating our new garden beds and chicken runs.
Alex T.
These guys are awesome sent me 2 bags for 1 for a long wait. Woll definitely purchase from them again.
Joshua C.
I use bierkashi to ferment all my food scraps and spent coffee that I collect from various convenience stores. No matter the food scraps (meat dairy, pasta etc) bierkashi helps to keep my compost makings from smelling up the kitchen and garage until I have collected enough to add to my many composting systems. I also use it when I top dress my garden beds to help add biology to my soil. Great stuff!
Roberto M.
The beer kashi is great, I use it on my compost bin, i also mix it with my soil. Definitely some good stuff.
Bob M.
Excellent product. I have purchased several times.
Stephen J.
Great product as always!
Annete A.
Nice, compact eco-friendly packging.
Peter S.
The bokashi composting process is perfect for our household. It completely breaks down food scraps, even things that are taboo for aerobic composting. I don't have to turn a compost pile. My cured compost bucket can be incorporated right into my garden beds. I do have a cold aerobic compost pile that contains yard and garden waste. I can place the bokashi compost into that pile during the winter months if the ground is frozen. This composting process does not emit any greenhouse gases as does the traditional aerobic composting process. One thing I would like to see changed would be the plastic biodegradable bag containing the bokashi. You should use a number 4 plastic bag which is readily recyclable. PRS, Richmond, Ky
Teresa S.
This is the 3rd time I bought Beerkashi I love it. It really helps with decomposing our compost fast without a smell. I've never composted but watching the videos really helped to understand how the process.
Linda H.
This is great stuff. I've been doing bokashi, and experimenting with several different brands of bokashi "flakes". Sometimes we fill our bokashi bucket really fast, and other times (when several of us are traveling, etc.), it takes quite a while to finish filling it. Bierkashi has done the best job of keeping our bucket tidy and smell free, even when it's been filling up slowly and over a long period of time.
Christopher B.
Love that bokashi
Christy D.
It is so easy to use and makes a great addition to my garden soil
Steven M.
Second time ordering. Great product. Even have other family members using it. Thank you
Adrian H.
Great stuff at a great price. I mainly use for bokashi composting, but also add a handful along with any top dressing in the garden. Great results with both!
Scott S.
SD Microbes BierKashi has worked great in my compost bin, love it!
MARIE B.
I love this stuff! I've been using it almost 2 years, and can't imagine composting without it.
It contains, ferments and enriches my kitchen scraps so I never worry about attracting critters to my outdoor pile.
My redworms go crazy for it, and the population exploded when I started adding it to the worm farm. Oh- and the burlap sack makes a great insulator-- while the worms completely decompose it!
Plus, there's the compost tea for spoiling for my houseplants.
Not many products made and delivered with such integrity, doing only good for the planet.
What's not to LOVE???!
Will F.
Been using this product for almost 5 years and it is a must have in my garden you will not be disappointed
Chris S.
This stuff works great. Have two potted pepper plants side by side, one which I forgot to put some bierkashi in and just look at the difference!
James L.
Ok, this product rocks, this company rocks. I am located so close to them that I may pick up my next bag in person, if possible. I need to keep this stocked in my household because it's really that good. Plenty of great uses for it.
kim p.
I just completed my first batch of kitchen scraps with bokashi today. It shows the white stuffs. So I m happy. I buried in the garden. Hopefully the kitchen scraps will turn to compost soon.
PATRICIA J.
Premium quality bokashi. Cannot be compared to any other brand!!! 100% FACTS
Matt C.
Never an issue your products, customer service and fast turn around keep me coming back
Dustin B.
its gggggrrrreat!!!
Andrew Y.
I use this to break down vegetable scraps and it works amazingly.
Joanna M.
Just got my Bokashi yesterday. I look forward to seeing it in action.
John Y.
This will always be my favorite thing to spend my money on. Hands down best bokashi on the market. Andrew and his team produces the best microbes in the country. Much love to the crew!
Annete A.
It has felt very rewarding to use leftovers for the future good of my veggie garden. I’m a first timer n love doing it so far.
Robert B.
Good product. We’re very satisfied !
Carlo C.
Great product. We got rid of our gnat problem thanks to Bierkashi. The garden has never looked better as we lowered our waste.
Teresa S.
I am a beginner at composting. I learned about composting using the bokashi method, by watching the video. It's very easy to do and this stuff really works well. We put all scraps even fish and chicken bones in it. Using the beerkoshi, helps to breakdown the scraps. After about a month we put it in the soil. The plants love it.
Customer
Love this stuff !! Great edition to the grow ! And great way to add some Labs to the mix
Matt B.
Great bokashi bran and quick delivery.
Glen G.
This stuff is amazing!
Andrew N.
Awesome! Our garden grows crazy with this stuff. Thank you!!
Gary P.
SD Microbes "BierKashi Bokashi" is an excellent product. My kitchen scraps grow white mold (a good thing, and safe!) when in the compost bin. While it ages in the basement, I draw off the compost tea from the bottom and add a teaspoon to each 3L of water for my house plants as a fertilizer. Before I found SD Microbes, I bought bokashi from a large on-line store, and the compost rotted. Flies were everywhere when I added it to my garden, not to mention the smell in the neighborhood which was embarrassing! I am pretty sure it came from China. I thought this was typical for bokashi, until I switched to SD Microbes!
MARIE B.
This is my 3rd order, and I plan to always make Bokashi. Since S.D. Microbes is the best company making the best product, this will be a lasting relationship!
J. Alex T.
So far so good. Seems to be keeping the buckets going well. Excellent service!
John W.
This is my third order. We do bokish composting and also add it to my chicken bedding. This product works well for me and will continue to order as long as it works.
Arvin K.
Been using this product for over a year and it feels good to know I’m not wasting any food and that it’s recycled back into a closed loop system.
Chad D.
I love using beirkashi when mixing new soil, top dressing and for composting kitchen scraps in a sealed bucket! Great stuff that goes a long way!
Jacqui J.
Love using Bokashi! Has cut done on waste (food scraps) and I’m now adding the broken down food to my garden beds (I added in the fall). The soil is looking great and having increased activity of worms! Can’t wait to see how well the veggies grow.
Joseph M.
The kitchen waste composting is doing great. The chicken coop deep litter is rocking and no more smell. I can’t wait to add it to my compost pile after it thaws out from winter in New England. Once my 25lb bag is done I will be buying more.
Nicholas B.
This is amazing stuff if your having troubles to heat up your compost, haven’t been able to hold consistent heat, but since I started to use bierkashi bokashi, let me tell you it definitely works, and the enhancement of microbial activity is awesome! Haven’t even used for chickens yet and I’ll tell this, subscription is mandatory! :) <3
Christian S.
I have found this easy to use so far, I am hoping to add a lot of organic matter and fertility back into my yard
Emily C.
My bokashi just got here and Im looking forward to doing some more composting! There was a small delay in getting the order to me, but Andrew was very helpful in getting it squared away.
Clayton O.
I was using another brand bokashi until SDmicrobes sent me a sample of his Bierkashi. Since then I’ve recommended it to so many friends because I believe in how much better it works for both composting, soil amendments and in compost teas. Plus it ships to my door and the prices are great.
Sharon C.
The SD Bokashi grain looks and smells so good! Over the last 2 months been layering Bokashi grains with food waste, tamping it all down inside a 5 gallon bucket with an airscape lid. Plan to add this compost into an outdoor compost pile for decomposition.
Mark F.
Loving the bokashi so far! Half way up a bucket I’m filling and already got some liquid out! Thanks!
ALEX G.
I love supporting family owned small business. Especially local ones. This product is great for the garden in so many ways. I use it to compost food, mix it into my soil, and top dress my fruit trees. Will continue to support.
Isaac C.
This stuff is amazing! Works so good with anything, but especially good with the biovast compost
Rowena B.
Arrived sooner than expected, nicely packaged in compostable materials. They even used paper tape in box packaging - fully recyclable.
Sunil M.
A beautiful bokashi, used as a top dressing along with cover crop seeds. Hyphae everywhere, especially around old woody stems underneath. Thank you Andrew!
Michael I.
This beirkashi just explodes with mycelium just one day after application. I've never seen so much life so fast come from other bokashi brands. On top of all that, I really like that they use organic spent grains that would otherwise be thrown away. Awesome company and great people!!!
Nicole G.
Loving this! I have two buckets going, one "good" for my veggies and other edibles, and the other with dog poop and chocolate doughnuts and other not-so-good things for my plants and flowers. Will also be using in my chicken coop when I get chickens next spring.
MARIE B.
I love this stuff! I’ve been using it a little over 6 months now, am on my 3rd bag of bierkashi and am still enthralled with the process. I got a second bucket because the one that came with the starter kit doesn’t have a spigot to drain the compost tea- a hugely important “by-product” that my flowering plants loved! I keep both buckets going in 2-week rotation.
My photo attempts to show start-to-finish - 2 full weeks fermenting: I include pet food leftovers, meat, bones, yogurt, cheese, etc - in addition to the regularly composted materials. Layering, per instructions and suggestions from you folks. I add the “final” Bokashi to my compost barrel and it does seem to speed the composting there. Never stinky!
Finally, each barrel is dumped into my “soil making” pile, where I layer compost with native soil rotated out of the veggie beds.
Adding this live soil and compost tea last summer was totally worth the effort. My partner’s pot plants, spindly and disappointing the previous summer, were robust jungle plants this summer, and my tomato plants were vigorous and the fruit so big and plentiful, I had enough to share with friends & neighbors for the first time :-)
Adding to the quality of product are super- fast shipping, that nice burlap bag and the sustainable & honest product it packages. You are making very happy composers!
Corbett T.
I’m pretty new to bokashi, but I have 4 buckets going presently, 2 each at 2 different households. Thank you SD Microbes and Kevin at Epic Gardening. Now when I don’t manage to cook, eat, or preserve everything I grow or buy, I don’t feel like I’m wasting it, but putting it back into my garden. I even clear out the fridge at work when we can’t use all the boss’ leftover CSA produce. And my coworkers are pretty sick of hearing about my bokashi buckets this-and-that, so I’ve got that going for me. Bokashi forever!
zorana s.
Got some beautiful compost after about 3 weeks. Still scared to add meat.
Compost was moist, not smelly.
Alex A.
I was recommended sdmicrobes bokashi by a friend and have to say i have only seen positive changes while using it as a soil activator, controlling odor in the kitty boxes, and jump starting our compost. To top it off Andy provides killer customer service and is full of tons of info. Sd microbes is a staple in our house and garden.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Craig W.
I use this product for composting and it works great, especially if you are composting in a 5 gallon bucket.
Joshua G.
I use this stuff on every flowering run and I see a big difference in the nutrient uptake of the plants. This stuff boosts your soil life tremendously.
Shelby E.
Great quality Bokashi bran that really helps process my compost! I really appreciated how they reused boxes and try to make more sustainable packaging! Will be purchasing again!
Customer
It goes in all my raw compost buckets and I love to see the mycelium spreading when they get opened up to dump in the big pit!
Joshua C.
Works like a charm. We use SD microbes bierkashi to preferment all of our food scraps before they go into our compost tumbler. The faint fermentation smell is much preferred to the smells that would otherwise emanate from having five gallons of food scraps in the house. This allows us to add the food scraps to the composter en masse when we have enough carbon rich yard waste and such with which to process it. Heats up and churns out black, biologically rich compost much quicker than before.
Karen K.
Second bag of Bokashi grains. Seems to work well and once ordered really quick delivery.
John H.
Wonderful product and great service! Highly recommend SD Microbes!
