Bokashi Kitchen Composter

Now compost all food waste!

Image depicting Kitchen composterAll food waste can now be turned into nutrient rich compost. This includes meat, fish, dairy products, bread and cooked foods.

Simply place all kitchen waste into the airtight container and sprinkle with a handful of Bokashi. This is a bran based material made with a culture of micro-organisms which begins to compost the waste.

After 10-14 days the contents can be safely transferred into a traditional compost bin or simply dug directly into the garden.

Liquid feed can be drained off and is alive with beneficial microbes. This can be diluted as a plant feed or poured down drains to prevent algae build up and odours. This process does not produce smells or attract flies so the container can be safely kept in the kitchen.

The Bokashi starter pack contains 2 buckets, full instructions, scoop, inner drain tray and 2-months supply of Bokashi bran. The pack can be purchased for only £25 plus £5 for delivery by calling 0845 130 6090 or order online by visiting www.essex.getcomposting.com (recommended retail price £50). You can also buy Bokashi bran refill packs from £6.50.  The 1kg pack will last you approximately 3-4 months.
