While it is okay to add one or two moldy slices of bread into a bokashi bucket, too much of it can spoil your batch. Never add liquids like milk or juice because the excess liquid can cause an unpleasant anaerobic smell & make it go bad. Some other no-nos for bokashi composting are: * Soda cans * Aluminum foil * Plastic * Glass * Styrofoam As most paper products contain hard crunchy cellulose, it can take a bit of time for the bacteria to digest. Be mindful with some paper cups because

The EnsoPet compost system is installed in-ground in the garden and uses specialised grains to rapidly break down pet waste and return it to the soil. The unit is made from recycled plastic and is easy to assemble by clicking 4 side panels together to create a bottomless cylinder with a lid. It is an inground composter with only the lid and opening left above the ground, making it discreet and suitable for small spaces. The side sections have been specifically designed with holes to allow access for moisture and worms. To use EnsoPet simply collect your pet's waste, add it to the composter and then lightly sprinkle EnsoPet starter grains to begin the process. The micro-organisms in the grains ensure a rapid continuous breakdown of the waste so the EnsoPet composter will take many months or may never completely fill. If it does, you can move it to another spot in the garden, or you might consider having two if you have many pets. EnsoPet Starter is made in Australia using a mixture of wheat, sawdust and minerals combined with a group of micro-organisms. These all-natural micro-organisms include lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi. These micro-organisms accelerate the breakdown of the waste, eliminate smell and help remediate any pathogens in your pet waste, and ultimately contribute to a healthier soil and a more beautiful garden. EnsoPet kit includes: 1 x EnsoPet compost system - 4 x recycled plastic sides, 1 x recycled plastic lid 1 x 1kg bag EnsoPet starter grains. Refills available here. 1 x pair collection tongs Full instructions plus tips features: Composts all pet waste including dog, cat, guinea pig and rabbit Small in-ground unit made from recycled plastic Easy and quick to assemble by clicking 4 panels together Discreet & suitable for small spaces Composts pet waste quickly and hygienically Eliminates odour and mess Returns carbon to the soil Enriches and rebuilds soil on a microbial level why compost your pet's waste? There are over 4 million dogs in Australia each producing up to 100kg of waste annually. If left uncollected it pollutes public areas and rain washes it into our waterways. The most popular method of collecting pet waste from parks, beaches, nature strips and footpaths is using plastic bags and disposing these into landfill. Composting pet waste with Ensopet would successfully reduce tonnes of plastic bags and pet waste ending up in landfill, while at the same time returning carbon and nutrients to the soil. Can you compost food waste in the EnsoPet? While EnsoPet is specifically designed to compost pet poo, it can also handle food waste effectively. Composting directly into the soil with EnsoPet offers several benefits, including direct nutrient delivery, pest and odour control, low maintenance, efficient decomposition, and space efficiency. Fermenting food waste in a Bokashi Bucket and then adding the fermented waste to an EnsoPet is the favored "companion composting" method. However, it is certainly fine to add food waste directly to an EnsoPet as well. Just remember to add EnsoPet Starter or Bokashi One Mix. When using an EnsoPet, be sure to add waste gradually to avoid overfilling the composter too quickly. You might need more than one EnsoPet, especially if you're composting both pet waste and food scraps. Aerating the waste will significantly speed up the composting process. Aeration involves mixing or turning the waste to introduce more oxygen. Browse all our bokashi composting range

Bokashi Composting Single Bucket Bokashi Composting keeps food waste out of landfill and adds life and vitality to your garden at the same time. The Bokashi One bucket can be used indoors and is easier to maintain than a worm farm. An essential for the sustainable home and garden! Included with Bokashi Bucket: 1 x Bokashi One bucket Airtight lid, separator grate and tap Full instructions (Remember to buy your Bokashi Mix!) What is Bokashi Composting? Bokashi Composting is an eco-friendly, convenient and hygienic composting system designed to be used in the kitchen. It utilises food waste to produce a nourishing compost and rich juice which inject life and vitality into your garden. What Can be Composted in the Bokashi One System? All food waste, including meat, seafood, dairy, citrus, onions, garlic, egg shells and cooked, raw and processed foods. How does Bokashi Composting Work? Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi is a fermentation process. Bokashi One Mix contains wheat bran and rice husks inoculated with beneficial microbes. In anaerobic conditions (created in the Bokashi One Bucket simply by closing the airtight lid), these microbes break down food waste and create Bokashi juice. Both the fermented food waste and Bokashi juice add nutrients and life to your soil, for strong, healthy, nutrient-dense plants. The airtight lid and tap make this system odour-free and suitable for indoor or outdoor use. How does Bokashi Composting Benefit your Soil? Bokashi Composting increases the vitality of your garden by nourishing your soil with beneficial microorganisms. Through the Bokashi composting process, billions of microbes are added to your soil which results in a healthier environment for your plants (and then you) to thrive. These microorganisms are essential for promoting soil health and supporting plant growth, providing numerous benefits for your garden including: Nutrient Cycling: Beneficial microorganisms break down organic matter in the soil, converting intricate compounds into more manageable forms and helping to release necessary nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for enhanced plant absorption. Improved Soil Structure: The presence of microorganisms can lead to the formation of stable soil aggregates, ultimately improving the overall structure of the soil. As a result, water infiltration is enhanced and the risk of erosion is reduced. Disease Suppression: Beneficial microorganisms naturally control harmful pathogens, effectively preventing soil-borne diseases and promoting stronger plant immunity for increased disease resistance. Plant Growth Promotion: Beneficial microbes found in the Bokashi One Composting System stimulate root growth and increase plant productivity by producing growth-promoting substances and aiding in nutrient uptake. This organic process results in stronger and healthier plants. Control of Pests: Beneficial microbes function as natural pesticides, aiding in the control of harmful insects and pests by maintaining a harmonious ecosystem within the soil. Soil Aeration and Gas Circulation Microbes play a crucial role in creating channels and tunnels within the soil, optimising gas exchange for a well-balanced environment of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Composting with Bokashi One not only reduces waste sent to landfills, but also has a positive impact on your soil. Preparing your soil with Bokashi One now will yield beneficial rewards for the healthy of your soil, garden and you. Instructions: Add a thin layer of food scraps (2-3cm) to the bucket and press down to remove air gaps Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of Bokashi One Mix over the compressed food scraps Continue until the bucket is full Leave undisturbed for 2-3 weeks for full fermentation Bury fermented food waste in your garden or add it to your compost bin While bucket is filling, draw off Bokashi juice, dilute, and add to your garden Why Have Two Bokashi Buckets? Two Bokashi One Buckets means Convenience! It's important to let the fermentation process finish completely before food waste is buried. Longer fermentation leads to a quicker breakdown of the waste once in the soil, and more wonderful Bokashi juice is produced. A second bucket gives you somewhere to put your food waste while fermentation finishes off in the first bucket. With a two-bucket system you can bury the fermented food waste from one at any time before the other bucket is full. With only one bucket, once full the waste needs to be buried immediately to continue to use the system. Prefer to have two?
