Let’s get straight to it: if you’re throwing your kitchen waste in the bin, you’re doing it wrong.

Food waste in landfill is a disaster. It rots, it releases methane (a greenhouse gas that’s way worse than CO₂), and it’s a complete waste of a brilliant resource. Because with just a bit of kit and know-how, your kitchen scraps can become living, breathing compost that feeds your garden, your soil, and your veg patch.

Here’s how to sort it. No faff. No horrid smells. Just proper composting.

Start with a Bokashi Kit – the fermentation fix

If you’re serious about reducing your waste and boosting your garden, Bokashi is a brilliant option.

It works by fermenting your food waste (yes, all of it – cooked food, meat, fish, citrus, dairy... the lot) using beneficial microbes. You layer it into an airtight bin with a sprinkle of our LIVE Bokashi Bran, pop the lid on, and let nature do its thing.

🪱 After two weeks, it’s pre-compost. That means it’s full of good bacteria, low on stink, and ready to either:

• go into your compost bin or wormery

• be buried in your garden soil

Wiggly Tip: Always use two Bokashi bins (they come as a kit). While one ferments, you fill the other. Swap them round and you can compost continually.

The result? Living compost + no more bin stink

You’ll cut your bin waste in half. You’ll stop food rotting in landfill. And you’ll end up with compost that genuinely feeds your garden.

Whether you’re growing wildflowers, veg, or just want greener grass – it all starts with what you don’t throw away.
