Bokashi Kitchen Composter: 2 Containers

Compact.  For city dwellers that do not have a yard or garden but still long to compost their food scraps, the Bokashi Kitchen Composter is the ideal kit for small spaces.  Easily fitting under the sink or tucked away in the pantry, this 5-gallon system features a fold–back carrying handle that allows for easy transport. 

Air Tight Design.  The Bokashi Kitchen Composter has a snap fitting lid that keeps moisture and odors locked away.  No aeration with oxygen in required; the beneficial microorganisms (EM) that are the decomposers use the process of fermentation to break down the scraps efficiently and quickly.    Wide aperture when open provides for convenient dumping of kitchen waste.

Rewarding and Fun.  The unit comes with a handled compressor that helps drain the liquid bokashi juice from the active pile through the internal strainer and into the liquid catchment area.  This living liquid can then be harvested with the built-in the spigot and used as a plastic fertilizer. Since the juice is naturally acidic and concentrated, dilute with fresh water and use only on acid loving plants.  For those who have friends with septic systems, the juice can be poured down the drain, helping to maintain a healthy microbe balance.

What is EM and Bokashi?  Bokashi is a dry, bran-based material that has been innoculated with EM (a mixed culture of naturally occurring friendly microorganisms). It is added as a compost activator to system to speed up the breakdown process. By placing alternating layers of food scraps and bran until the container is full, the food waste quickly ferments, allowing it to be safely composted or used as a soil amendment.
