Important Information

When adding the fermented material to a compost bin - spread it out and then layer it between fresh soil
and composting material. Do not empty the bucket in a solid mass this will slow down the decomposition
of the material.
If burying the material in the ground it should ideally be spread out about 1 inch thick and covered with
around 3 to 4 inches of soil. Try not to bury the fermented material too near to plant and tree roots, as the
compost is quite acidic at first but it becomes less acidic soon afterwards.

Liquid Feed

The amount and colour of the liquid drained will depend on the type of foods you have put into the bucket.
Fruit and vegetables tend to release more liquid than other foods.
The liquid feed produced during the fermentation process is highly beneficial and can be used as follows:
Watering the garden: The liquid contains nutrients from the food organics and is alive with beneficial
microbes. For garden and house plants use a teaspoon to 5 litres of water and apply directly to the soil.
For trees and shrubs use 2 teaspoons to 5 litres of water. Do not apply directly to foliage.
Around the house: Pour the concentrated liquid directly into your kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets or
septic system. The bran will help to prevent algae build-up and control odours. The liquid feed should be
used within a day or two after draining from the bucket.
