Are your food scraps going to waste? You can create Nutrient rich liquid fertiliser juice for your garden trees and plants by supporting the food waste break-down process with a Bokashi composting system.
THE BOKASHI BUCKET
The Bokashi One Bucket reduces the need for an outside compost pile and is a great addition to, although easier to maintain than, a worm farm. The airtight lid ensures an ideal environment for anaerobic fermentation to take place, while controlling odours and deterring flies. Placing the plastic grate inside the bucket and then piling food waste on top of it separates the food waste from the liquid that accumulates at the bottom of the bucket. This liquid can be easily drained through the tap and used as a nutrient-rich fertiliser for the garden. How cool is that~!
One of the biggest differences between bokashi composting, or fermentation, and other types of composting is that it works anaerobically (without oxygen). In hot, cold, and vermicomposting, oxygen is incredibly important to ensure proper breakdown of the material.
In addition to the veggie and fruit scraps, eggshells, tea, and coffee grounds, you can also add fat, dairy, meat, and even bones to a bokashi system. It also works much faster than any other type of composting, with the whole process of creating liquid fertiliser taking 4-6 weeks, or quicker if you just compost fruits and veggies.

Description:
- 1 x Bokashi One Bucket
- Each bucket comes with an airtight lid, tap, handle and internal grate
- Internal grate separates the solid waste from the bokashi liquid
- Includes tap that allows the juice to be easily drained
- Portable design with handle
How It Works:
- Food waste is layered with a sprinkle of Bokashi One Mix in the Bokashi One Bucket
- Microorganisms in the Bokashi One Mix ferment the waste inside the air-tight bucket
- The fermented waste reduces in volume as water content drains through the grate at the bottom of the bucket, creating fantastic Bokashi One Juice
- Bokashi juice is bursting with microorganisms and can be used in the garden, on indoor plants, and as an eco-friendly natural cleaner for drains and septic systems
- When the bucket is full, bury the fermented waste beneath the soil in the garden to complete the composting process
- Waste breakdown is rapid thanks to the micoorganisms present in the Bokashi One Mix
- The compost returns valuable nutrients back into the soil to help maintain soil quality and reduce your impact on the environment
