Why We Love Bokashi Composting (and You Will Too)

We’re excited to share some great news—our much-loved Bokashi Organko 2.0 kitchen composters are back in stock! If you’ve been thinking about starting your composting journey or upgrading your current setup, now is the perfect time to dive into the world of bokashi composting.

What makes bokashi so different—and so brilliant—is how effortlessly it fits into everyday life. It’s fast, clean, compact, and perfect for people who want to reduce food waste without the mess and wait of traditional composting.


What Is Bokashi Composting?

Bokashi is a fermentation-based composting method that uses beneficial microorganisms to break down food waste quickly and without unpleasant smells. Unlike traditional composting, it works in an airtight environment and handles all kinds of kitchen scraps—including cooked food, dairy, and small bones.

It’s ideal for anyone short on space, living in urban areas, or simply wanting a more efficient way to recycle food waste indoors.


Why Bokashi Works So Well

Here are a few of the reasons we—and so many others—love bokashi composting:


1. No Waiting Around

With bokashi, food waste begins breaking down immediately. Within two weeks, your waste is fermented and ready to be added to your compost pile, dug into the garden, or stored for later use. It’s quick, clean, and continuous.


2. Odour-Free and Indoor Friendly

Thanks to its airtight system and natural fermentation process, bokashi composting doesn’t smell like traditional compost. It locks in moisture and odours, making it ideal for indoor use—even in small kitchens.


3. Zero Waste, Big Results

From banana peels to pasta leftovers, bokashi bins handle a wide range of food waste. And they don’t just break it down—they transform it into two incredibly useful by-products:

  • Pre-compost that can be buried in the soil to create rich, living compost in just a few weeks

  • Bokashi liquid—a powerful natural fertiliser (when diluted) and a handy drain cleaner


4. Designed for Everyday Use

Modern bokashi bins, like the Organko 2.0, are thoughtfully made to suit real-life kitchens. With features like a compact design, airtight inner containers, easy-pour drainage caps, and tamper tools for waste compression, they’re practical, hygienic, and genuinely pleasant to use.


5. Composting That Looks Good

Let’s be honest—compost bins usually aren’t something you want on display. But bokashi bins are different. With their sleek, minimalist design and eco-friendly materials, they’re a countertop staple you won’t need to hide.


Ready to Make Food Waste Disappear?

If you’re ready to take control of your food waste and turn it into something truly useful, bokashi composting is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to do it. It’s a low-effort, high-impact habit that fits into any lifestyle—and now that our composters are back, there's never been a better time to start.


Stay tuned for more tips, tricks, and guides to help you make the most of every scrap.
