These fabulous Bokashi Kitchen Composters allow you to compost 100% of your waste when used in conjunction with a traditional Compost Bin or Wormery.
You simply place kitchen waste into the airtight container and sprinkle with a handful of Bokashi (Japanese for 'fermentation'). Bokashi is a bran based material made with a culture of micro-organisms and molasses which begins to ferment the waste allowing you to turn ALL your kitchen waste into nutrient rich compost. This includes meat, fish, dairy products and cooked food.
The Bokashi performs the first stages of decomposition using the active micro-organisms. Then, after a little patience, the contents can be safely transferred from the Bokashi Bucket into a traditional garden compost bin, your Wormery or simply dug into the garden as a soil conditioner and improver where the process will finish itself off.
Like a Wormery Liquid feed is also captured and can be drained off through the tap at the bottom of the bucket. This liquid is alive with beneficial microbes and, when diluted, is a very nutritious plant feed. It can also be used to prevent algae build-up and odours when poured down the drain.
The process is odourless and doesn't attract flies so the Bokashi Bucket container can be safely kept in the kitchen and used as a kitchen caddy.

These Composters are manufactured using high quality, 100% recycled plastic.
They are made by the environmentally friendly and quality assuring process of Rotational Moulding.
Because of this slower process, and the resulting higher-quality product, the costs are a little higher than conventionally injection-moulded bins - but we think these bins are well worth the few extra pounds.
