Bokashi bins

These systems allow you to compost all food waste and hold 2-3 weeks of scraps for the average household. This then ferments for another week before being buried in your garden. The fermented food breaks down several times faster than unprocessed food making it an ideal no-fuss method of returning your food waste's valuable nutrient store to your garden.

Find our range of Bokashi bins on our product page.
