The Organko 2 bokashi bucket has an inner container with holes at the base, this allows liquid to flow down and catches the solid waste. The inner container can be easily removed by pressing the two black notches on the sides of the outer layer. This is to prevent the solid waste from clogging up the tap - and also allows you to clean the bucket more easily. To empty waste, the whole bucket would need to be lifted - there is a rubber seal around the base of the inner container to stop liquid and residue from being trapped between the inner and outer layers.

How this complete system works

Our Bokashi Organko set is suitable for households with their own composter or garden, who wish for the fermentation process to proceed to the final stage in the composter. With the help of the effective organisms, present in the bran, the decomposition process is, therefore, longer and undisturbed.

At the end of the fermentation process, the contents of the first bucket can be disposed onto the compost pile or buried into the ground, where they transform themselves into high-quality compost in only four weeks. The basis for first-class compost. Natural drain cleaning and maintenance agent.

Fermentation liquid mix with water (1: 200) for watering the plants or for the disinfection of septic tanks.

Dimensions of a bucket 34 x 24 x 24 cm, Volume 10L, filling time 2 weeks

What do I need to get started?

Using a Bokashi composting kit with two containers is an efficient and effective way to manage kitchen waste and maintain a continuous composting cycle, whether you're living alone or with a family. Here's why this dual-bucket system is beneficial:

  1. Continuous Composting Cycle: When you have two buckets, you can keep the composting process ongoing. While one bucket is being filled with new kitchen scraps, the other is in the fermentation stage. This setup ensures there's no downtime in your composting routine. For an average family it will take between 2 and 4 weeks to fill one of the containers.

  2. Fermentation Process: Bokashi composting is unique in that it ferments the kitchen waste rather than decomposing it right away. This fermentation process requires the waste to be sealed off from air for a couple of weeks. During this time, beneficial microbes break down the waste, making it ready for the next stage of decomposition. Having one bucket sealed and fermenting while you start filling the second bucket is a practical way to manage this process.

  3. Size and Household Needs: The size of the Bokashi bucket you choose can depend on the amount of kitchen waste your household produces.

  4. Efficiency: The two-bucket system enables you to ferment one bucket whilst filling the next so helps controll odours and pests - the sealed lid on the fermenting bucket prevents any smells from escaping and keeps pests away.

  5. Ease of Use: This system is designed to be user-friendly. Once the first bucket is full and fermenting, you can simply start adding waste to the second bucket without any interruption to your daily routine.

  • For Single Users or Small Households: A smaller bucket size might be sufficient, as the amount of waste generated will be less. This size allows for easier handling and space efficiency.

  • For Families or Larger Households: A larger bucket or more frequent rotation between buckets may be necessary to accommodate the greater volume of kitchen waste. This ensures that there’s always enough space to add new scraps while the other batch is fermenting. You can always buy an extra bucket to add into the rotation if you find you are filling them too fast (a standard Bokashi kit usually works for a family of 4-6 even if they are vegetarian).

Wiggly Tip:

I use a small kitchen caddy which is fixed to the inside of the unit under my sink. This means I ALWAYS recycle all my food waste – from coffee grounds to teabags, plate waste including meat and fish scraps and then I simply take the caddy out to the porch where my Bokashi Bins are situated. 

 

In summary, a two-bucket Bokashi composting kit is an excellent choice for efficient waste management, suitable for individuals, small households, or larger families. It ensures a continuous, hassle-free composting cycle, making it a practical and sustainable approach to managing kitchen waste.

 

Choosing Bokashi kits and compost from Wiggly Wigglers means embracing a practical, eco-friendly approach to waste management. It’s not just about creating better soil; it’s about contributing to a healthier planet.

 

What is Bokashi?

Bokashi is a Japanese word meaning Ferment, and Bokashi Coomposting (which technically is pre composting – fermenting) is a method pioneered by Dr Teruo Higa a professor at the University of Ryukyus in Okinawa. It offers an innovative and sustainable approach to organic waste management. This anaerobic fermentation does differ from traditional composting methods. In Bokashi composting, kitchen scraps and other organic materials are placed in a sealed bin along with our special Bokashi Active Bran, rich in effective microorganisms. These microbes facilitate a fermentation process, breaking down the waste material without the presence of oxygen.

The fermentation process in Bokashi composting offers several advantages. It rapidly decomposes a wide range of food waste including items not typically suitable for traditional compost piles, like meats, fish, and dairy products. This method is particularly effective for transforming plate waste, as it safely ferments items that would otherwise attract pests and emit unpleasant rotting and smells. The best part is that the resulting compost is amazingly nutrient-rich, significantly benefiting soil health and plant growth.

Here is a list of items that can be effectively composted in a Bokashi kit – your new kitchen composting bin…

  • Fruit and Vegetable Scraps: Including peels and cores.

  • Meat and Fish: Safe composting of these typically challenging items.

  • Dairy Products: Cheese, yogurt, and other dairy leftovers.

  • Processed Foods: Including cooked and uncooked leftovers.

  • Tea Bags and Coffee Grounds: Great nitrogen sources for the compost.

  • Eggshells: Providing valuable minerals.

  • Bread and Grains: Ideal for stale or moldy items.

  • Small Bones: Which are broken down in the Bokashi process.

Bokashi composting is an eco-friendly solution that not only reduces household waste but also enriches the soil with nutrient-dense compost. Its unique fermentation process, rooted in Dr. Higo's pioneering work in Japan, makes it an invaluable tool for sustainable waste management and soil enhancement.

 

What does the finished Bokashi look like once I have fermented the waste?

Bokashi will not look like traditional brown, friable compost. Do not be alarmed! Bokashi is a unique composting method that differs in several ways:

  • Appearance: Finished Bokashi is often dark, moist, and can contain visible food scraps. It doesn't have the typical appearance of decomposed organic matter like traditional compost. It’s more like pickled food – it will smell cidery, or more like vinegar.

  • Texture: Bokashi tends to be more compact and may not be as friable as traditional compost. It can be really sticky or clumpy texture due to the fermentation process.

  • Mould: Mould formation in your Bokashi kit occurs due to the presence of spores on food scraps, thriving in the low-oxygen, anaerobic environment created when the kit is sealed. The moulds that develop during Bokashi fermentation are harmless and show that the process is working well.

There are significant benefits to using Bokashi in your garden soil. The fermentation process effectively breaks down organic matter, neutralises harmful pathogens, and enriches the soil with nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. Over time, the Bokashi will continue to break down and mix in with the soil, improving its overall health and fertility. If you have concerns about the appearance, you can mix it into your garden soil or traditional compost. Once it's exposed to air it will really quickly blend it in and achieve a more friable texture.

 

 

What do I do with the finished product?

Once your Bokashi fermentation process is done and dusted, you can utilise the finished product to enhance your soil in several ways, reaping various benefits:

  • Soil Amendment: Incorporate the fermented Bokashi directly into your garden soil as a natural soil conditioner.

  • Composting Boost: Mix it with your traditional compost pile to accelerate decomposition and enrich the compost.

  • Nutrient Enrichment: The Bokashi adds essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil.

  • Improved Soil Structure: It enhances soil structure, promoting better water retention and aeration.

  • Microbial Activity: Beneficial microorganisms in Bokashi improve soil health and break down organic matter.

  • Pest Repellent: It can deter some pests due to its acidic nature.

  • Odour Control: Reduces foul odors in your compost or soil.

Overall, using finished fermented Bokashi enhances soil fertility, supports plant growth, and contributes to a healthier and more productive garden.

 

Can I make my own Bokashi Tea?

Not for drinking but certainly as a fertiliser. You can dilute the drained liquid with water and this is a nutrient rich feed for garden or house plants. Use a cup full in a watering can as it’s pretty strong stuff. 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Bokashi liquid can be used as a natural cleaning agent for drains and septic systems, as the beneficial microorganisms help break down organic matter and prevent smells
