Use the Bokashi System to Extend YOUR Compost Making Season

Your kitchen refuse accumulation doesn't stop when the weather turns cold and neither should your compost making efforts.  In two easy steps, you can continue to process all of your kitchen waste using the bokashi bucket system and a back yard compost tumbler.  Here are the easy steps:

STEP 1:
  • Continue putting your kitchen refuse into the first of your two bokashi compost buckets, sprinkling them with the wheat bran medium inoculated with the microorganisms developed by Professor Higa.
  • When the 1st bucket is full, set it aside for 10 days to 2 weeks to finish the 'pickling' process and start putting your kitchen waste into the 2nd bucket.


STEP 2:
  • When the contents of the first bucket are finished pickling, put them into a back porch compost tumbler.
  • These compact compost tumblers weigh just 40 pounds, stand 37" high x 31" wide x 26" deep, and sit on 6" wheels which makes them really easy to move around.
  • Make sure your compost tumbler already has a small amount of compost inside, composed of green and brown organic materials and a little soil.  This gives the kitchen scrapes what they need to interact with to finish the compost making process.



That's it!  Now you can continue to process your kitchen scraps, have wonderful compost for your garden when the weather turns warm again, and save our landfills!
