Kashi Blend | A Diverse Grain Bokashi

Kashi Blend is best applied as a top dress. Add about 1/3 cup of Kashi Blend per 15-gallon soil container. If you’re running a smaller container, use a little less or a little more for a larger pot. Kashi Blend is very forgiving so you won’t notice any burn if you go a little heavy.

You can make a tea with Kashi Blend but it was designed to be top dressed. If you’d like to make a tea, simply steep about 1cup per 5 gallons of water. You can add air and molasses if you’d like, but keep the brew time short (under 10 hours).

Additionally, you can steep Kashi Blend in water for a few days with no oxygen or molasses. If you’re adding this to a compost tea, add the last few hours of your brew.

One year.

This is normal and what we expect to happen in the soil and your composting bucket(s).

We add the full ingredient list to our labels and omit nothing. Kashi Blend consists of rice bran, wheat bran, insect frass, soybean meal, camelina meal, gypsum, whole malted barley, charged/inoculated biochar, trace minerals, molasses, and multiple species of lactic acid bacteria.

Kashi Blend is a great addition to any worm bin. They seem to make it into quick food and enjoy coming to the surface for it.

Yes. Kashi Blend is considered a compost accelerator and can help bring temps up faster in a thermophilic composting setup.

Don't panic. Simply keep an eye on them as they may need to use the bathroom more frequently for the next 12 - 24 hours depending on how much they ate, but they’ll be just fine. Although this product is not animal feed, our chickens and dogs sure love it. The lactic acid bacteria used in the fermentation is a probiotic and many of the species are the same as what’s found in yogurt.

All of Kashi Blend's products are sourced from vegan sources, including the lactic acid bacteria. The product does contain organic insect frass though.

Excessively oily or liquid food should not be added to the bucket, as this will drown the microbial population. You are able to add meat, cheese and dairy to the bucket without an issue, however, remember that what you put into the compost bucket is what you get out of it, so be mindful of what you are placing in the bucket to create the most nutrient-dense compost possible.

After burying the contents of your bucket outside, you should wait four to siz weeks before checking if the compost is ready to use. Once this time has passed, you can dig into the area where it was buried and see if any remaining food scraps remain unbroken down. If there are no food scraps, you are ready to use it. If there are some remaining, we recommend burying and waiting a little longer.

Kashi Blend is a wonderful odor eliminator and can be use safely around pets and children. To use this product as an odor eliminator, here is how you can use it for various animals:

Cats: Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons in the litter box each week, or as needed. The microorganisms in the Kashi Blend will speed up the breakdown process of the waste, which reduces the smell

Chickens (or other farm animals): If you have farm animals and their area seems to get stinky quick, Kashi Blend can help! Simply throw a handful down in the coop/pen. The microorganisms will help breakdown the excrements rapidly, thus reducing the smell. Plus, your farm animals will find it to be a delicious treat, which helps clean out their digestive tract and further eliminate odor from the area.

Kashi Blend should stay good on the shelf for up to one year. However, if you feel it is no longer viable, you can simply dump it into your compost bin or outside in the grass.

Generally speaking, you can’t add too much Kashi Blend. However, you do want to avoid adding excessive amounts to your soil or compost bin to avoid waste and provide other nutrients to not be outcompeted.

If you are growing seedlings, be sure not to add excessive amounts, as the mycelium that forms could outcompete the seed starts resulting in no seedlings at all.
