The process of Bokashi composting is a little different than most composters. All you need to do is add food scraps to one of your bins and once your bin is full just let it sit for 2 weeks. The compost will still need to be buried in a yard, but you will have time to collect and store food scraps until you can get to a friend’s yard!
The Bokashi Starter kit is ideal for someone who wants to drop their compost at their family’s or friend’s yard or compost bin!
