Bokashi Organko Essential Set - Grey

The Organko Essential Bokashi Bin is the latest design from Skaza. Bokashi is a sustainable, convenient method of organic waste disposal - say goodbye to common inconveniences associated with collecting waste! 

Using a Bokashi bin is a fantastic and effective way to increase sustainability in your lifestyle. Fermenting your organic waste not only allows you to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, but the Organko Essential is made from recycled plastics. And, at the end of the fermentation process you get a completely natural and nutrient-rich compost fertiliser for your garden. A win for you, and for the environment!

The process of bokashi uses natural, beneficial microorganisms (sprinkled on as a bran or a liquid spray) to initiate the fermentation process instead of waiting for waste to decay. A key benefit is that as bokashi prevents waste from rotting, there are no unpleasant odours. The Organko Essential is an airtight unit, which prevents airflow and subsequent smelly rotting; perfect for those who live in apartments, or those who do not have the space for a compost heap. 

You can also dispose of a broader variety of organic waste in a bokashi bin than you could through traditional composting methods. Almost all organic waste can be put into a bokashi bin, even cooked and raw meat, cheese, and small bones! Just avoid liquids, larger bones, paper, and anything that has already started to rot or mold. Tip: Cutting any large pieces into smaller ones will make the fermentation process easier. 

After the fermentation process is completed, organic waste retains essential nutrients that would normally disappear during decay - this creates a top-quality compost! An excellent liquid fertiliser is also created during the process, which can be easily removed from the Organko Essential using the purpose built tap. This fermentation liquid can be used as a fertiliser for garden or pot plants (dilution ratio of 1:200), and can even be used undiluted as a natural drain and septic tank conditioner. 

One Bokashi Organko Essential has a volume of 15 litres. A family of four would fill one bin in approximately 30 days - you can then begin filling the second bin while the first completes the fermentation process.
