The Original Organics 18L Bokashi Compost Bin is ideal for urban dwellers and small households looking to manage kitchen food waste sustainably without the need for an outdoor compost heap. Its key benefit is the ability to ferment a wide range of scraps—including meat, fish, and dairy—indoors with minimal odor through an efficient anaerobic process, though users must note that the essential Bokashi bran must be purchased separately to facilitate fermentation.

Yes, you can include cooked and uncooked scraps, including meat, fish, and dairy, provided you add the correct amount of Bokashi bran.
It is recommended to drain the liquid every 2 to 3 days to prevent buildup and keep the fermentation process clean.
Once the bucket is full and finished fermenting, the waste should be buried in a soil trench or added to a traditional compost pile where it will break down quickly.
No, the Bokashi bran is a consumable and is sold separately from the 18L bucket.
Yes, but it is very concentrated. Always dilute it with water—typically a 1:100 ratio—before applying it to your plants.
Check that the lid is fully airtight and ensure you are using enough Bokashi bran. Excess moisture may also cause odors; drain the liquid tap regularly.
This is normal and indicates that the fermentation process is working correctly.
Check if the inner separation tray is clogged by food particles or if the tap itself has become blocked.
Setting up the system is straightforward: ensure the inner tray is positioned at the base of the bucket before adding any waste. The unit does not require any specialized setup or external power. For maintenance, keep the exterior clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the drainage tap is closed tightly when not in use. Periodically check the seal of the lid to ensure it remains airtight, as any damage to the seal will hinder the fermentation process and potentially cause unpleasant smells. Always keep the bucket out of direct sunlight to maintain a stable internal temperature for the microbes.
