New - The Urban Composter – This is the quick and easy way to deal with your kitchen scraps and leftovers. It turns your unwanted peels, off-cuts and leftovers into liquid feed and a nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden. The Urban Composter uses an Accelerator SPRAY rather than Bokashi Bran used in “bran” based systems.

N.B. Bokashi Bin users can use the Accelerator spray instead of Bokashi Bran, which is much easier to use, lasts longer and is easier to store - see below.

New - The Urban Composter – The Urban Composter doesn’t just hold your kitchen scraps en-route to the compost heap, but actually starts the composting process right in your kitchen without any bad smells. The Urban Composter is attractive enough to have on show in your kitchen or utility room, which will encourage and remind you to keep composting - you can even choose the colour of the lid to match your kitchen! Choose between black, blue, purple and green. Each Urban Composter has a large 15 litre capacity, a tight fitting lid (so there is no smell, spills or flies) and 500ml of Accelerator Spray included.

New - The Urban Composter – On a daily basis (or when you have scraps), just lift the lid, add your scraps (even meat or fish) and spray with the Compost Accelerator included and the fermenting process begins. After a few days, the scraps start fermenting and liquids are released. This liquid is saturated in good bacteria and nutrients and should be drained off every few days, as an excellent 100% organic fertilizer for plants or it can be flushed down drains to clear pipes and stop nasty odours PLUS it promotes a healthy septic system. When the bucket is full, simply drain any remaining liquid and either compost the contents further in a compost heap or wormery, or dig it into the garden.  

• Add Food Scraps - All types of food scraps can be composted including meat, fish, veg, fruit, dairy, coffee, wilted flowers. Cut the scraps into small pieces and place into the Urban Composter on a regular basis.
• Spray with Accelerator - The Compost Accelerator spray is fermented fruit extract that contains effective microbes that start to break down the kitchen scraps and should be sprayed on each time you add scraps. The composting process is anaerobic which means that the food scraps don’t rot or smell while breaking down.
• Drain any liquid – Using the tap ion the front, any liquid should be drained off every few days. Dilute it 1:100 with water and use it as an excellent 100% organic fertiliser or flush it down drains to keep the pipes or septic tank healthy.
• Dig the compost into the garden - Once the bucket is full and all the liquid drained, the contents can be composted further by digging it into the garden or adding it to a compost heap or wormery.

Bokashi Bins - Developed in Japan, Bokashi Bins are a unique and efficient way of composting kitchen waste. As landfill sites fill up, roadside collections  cut to once a fortnight & councils even talk about charging by weight to take bags away, composting your own kitchen waste makes sense. On a daily basis, simply add your kitchen waste (including vegetable and fruit waste, meat and fish scraps, coffee grounds etc) to the Bokashi Bin and sprinkle a little bran over the top. Easy! The bacteria, yeasts and fungi in the bran then get to work composting the waste. Keep adding kitchen waste and bran, pressing it down as you go until the bin is full. Every 2-3 days, drain the liquid off from the bottom of the bin - this can be diluted (1:100) and used to feed plants or poured down drains to clear pipes and stop nasty odours.

Bokashi Bins are sold in pairs - once a bin is full, leave it for 2 weeks to ferment ,but drain off liquid and start filling the 2nd bin. After 2 weeks, the 1st bin will be fully composted. The Bokashi contents won't look like traditional compost - more like it has been pickled and will have a sweet and sour cidery smell. The 2 bins are then alternated with one bin taking the fresh waste while the other is fermenting. After 2 weeks, empty out the full bin ,which can be either be composted further by adding it to a compost heap, wormery or dig it into the garden ,where the nutrients will be released back into the soil. Bokashi Compost gives plants a good boost,both in the garden (for bumper crops and blooms) and patio pots. It has been added to one of the pots of bulbs pictured left - see how the foliage is noticeably bigger.

"Jonathan - your service is excellent.  After I sent you that email, a neighbour came round with my bokashi bins, the delivery man left it with her! Very grateful to you, I know my father will be delighted with this present." by email.

"The bins have been in full use for all seasons and the results have been excellent. The liquid run-off we use on seedlings (heavily diluted) as well as on shrubs near the house and boundary walls. At the start, I mixed the solid stuff into the compost pile, but this Summer experimented digging a trench in front of the lettuces and then the spinach. Extraordinary (compared with 2010). Your refill-bran is reliably good too - at one stage I waivered to Amazon, with insipid results. Even at my age, I've got a long way to go in learning about the tricks and traps of gardening, but the bokashi is a marvel. All in all, my thanks to you." Cordially, Colby Coombs
