Welcome to a better way to compost at home! Recycling food waste into compost and fertilizer has never been faster or easier. Your sustainable home just got an upgrade. What Is Bokashi Composting? Bokashi composting is a process of fermenting food waste by mixing it with bacteria-infused “bran” and letting it sit in an airtight container for two weeks. A Bokashi composter will easily convert all your food waste, including dairy, meat, and oils, into compost and fertilizer on your kitchen countertop. With only a little bit of space and about two weeks, you will have turned your kitchen scraps into nutrient-dense soil amendment - without the wait, the fuss, or the smell of a traditional backyard compost pile. It’s a versatile, simple method that works with every kitchen - regardless how much or what kind of food you want to recycle. The BokashiPro Starter Kit includes two buckets with strainers, a masher and a cup for collecting compost “tea”. All you need to add is Bokashi bran (recipe included) and food wast e from your kitchen!

A Great Climate Friendly Solution to Reducing Your Overall Waste!
Since I live in an apartment in los angeles, and my building doesn't offer a separate dumpster for disposing of organic waste, I wanted to find a way to do in home composting that wouldn't smell or make my neighbors complain. After reaching the Bokashi method, i decided to get the two airtight bins and compost starter. This works PERFECTLY!It does take just a small amount of assembly to attach the nozzles and gaskets on the bottom of each bin. After that, you're good to start using it.The key is to ensure very little air gets in contact with your kitchen scraps, and to press it down firmly to ensure no air pockets between your food. Sprinkle a handful+ of the compost starter each time you throw food in the bin, and in a few days, you also have compost tea - which I use to water my plants, and also put down the drain to avoid clogs, etc.I will say that only one of the bins works properly to keep out the smell and the other doesn't - I believe one of the valves at the bottom is faulty that allows some smell to escape until it begins to fill with 'tea' at the bottom.

Leaks
Both bins leaks juice from the spout. Which pretty much makes it horrible to use. Definitely have to leave it outside. In another review I also complained that the free bokashi it came with was opened and had a very foul odor. This whole system is meant to be used indoors btw! Would not recommend this company, products are made in china.

Best way to compost ever!
Using this system, you do not have to worry about any nasty smells, fruit flies or separating any food waste! ( even composted shrimp hulls perfectly with no nasty smell. Love, love this system. Very durable as well & easy to use. Worth every penny.
