Look no further, these are the original premium quality bokashi composting bins that started it all. The extra couple of dollars they cost for the improved quality is well spent, as compared to the cheaper Chinese manufactured copies on the market. You won't find this caliber of bokashi bin anywhere else. It’s the quality and attention to the manufacturing process that sets our bins apart. No more splitting lids, cracking bins or failing spigots… These authentic bins are made of a high quality, food safe resin that will last for years and will not cause any leaching into your bokashi compost. All parts are replaceable should anything go wrong after the 1 year warranty period. This 2 bin starter kit provides you with everything you need to start bokashi composting in your home, school, or community. You do not need to buy or add anything else. Included are 2 x 2.2 lb bags of our premium, craft fermented bokashi bran. This is enough to last a typical family up to 7 to 8 months. We offer all our customers lifetime bokashi support. Based out of Los Angeles for our American customers, and Vancouver for our Canadian ones, simply give us a direct call or send us an email and we will happily help you along the way if you have any questions.

I've been using this Bokashi composting system since January, and I'm really happy with it! The container doesn't leak, it fits lots of scraps, and the compost tea it produces is great for my houseplants. (Just make sure to dilute it LOTS- like 1 teaspoon of compost tea per 1/2-1 gallon of water works. I didn't dilute it sufficiently once and burned some plants.) No bad smells when the container is closed, and the Bokashi bran should be enough to last me quite a number of bucket fills. I only use about 1 tablespoon of the bran per 1" layer of compost scraps, and that seems sufficient. I ended up buying a second Bokashi bucket so I can keep composting while I let the filled bucket have it's required 2 week rest. I can't really compost outside during the winter and compost tumblers tend to attract the mice here, so this is the perfect solution!

This system is expensive for the fact that it's basically a fancy compost bucket...but it really works well. I got the two pack which was a good call as I could fill one and let it sit and ferment while I filled the other. I kept these under my sink and there was zero smell. Ill admit...BOTH buckets are full and have been forgotten about. Under my sink has been there about 6-8wks since I filled it and i only just now remembered it was there bc its just starting to have a very faint smell. The other bucket I forgot about in my mudroom until a few months later it also, started to smell lol. for an inhome solution, this is awesome

Just started using this Bakashi composter a month ago. and it’s great. I purchased after I had to get rid of fish and shellfish after a power outage and could not put into the outdoor compost. Smell free, easy, only effort is putting food scraps into bucket, sprinkling each layer with purchased “ pellets”, and once or twice a week, draining accumulated liquid from spigot (smells picked) which I add to outdoor compost. After a couple months, the bucket is ready to add to outdoor compost (or sand to compost pick up. I am pescatarian and will use for fish skin, shells of shellfish, leftover pet food. No food in landfill, which doesn’t break anything down due to lack of oxygen and expels methane.

In 2020 after being stuck at home during a global pandemic our family started to look for ways to grow more in the garden and waste less from the kitchen. To slow the flow of food-related waste leaving our home for the landfill, we looked for some alternative methods for disposing of food waste and we turned to composting as an option. After doing some homework on how to do this properly we found @compostable.kate on Instagram and learned of the Bokashi process.Looking for a stateside option for Bokashi bins we found Bokashi Living on Amazon and started with a two-bucket starter kit. With a family of 5 (3 teenagers) and my parents in the home, we realized that we were going to need more than just the two buckets. 1 year later we added 2 more.We have made mistakes along the way (leaving the lid unsealed) and have had a couple of sticky situations with our buckets but the learning curve is fast and mistakes were easy to correct. We now fill our buckets every few months and process all the Bokashi in three, 3'x3'x3' outdoor compost bins near our garden. The tea is used to either activate our compost or it is diluted and fed to the plants around the house when watering. We collect leaves in the fall and then use yard waste, chicken poo/pine shaving bedding, grass clippings, and Bokashi compost and tea to make amazing compost for our yard and garden.Our family has seen great results in our soil health since starting to use our Bokashi Living kits and highly recommend them to all households. We know our efforts are small but it feels good to not waste so much in the landfill and to be able to turn our food waste into something productive and healthy. We live in a residential area in a very dry state and can still make an impact.For transparency's sake - Our only issue with these buckets was with the drain system which started to leak on a couple of our buckets a little over a year into use. I submitted a support email to Bokashi Living on their website on a Friday afternoon and by Monday of the next week, I had a phone call to my cell with a solution. No need for added parts, just a simple and quick removal/cleaning of the drain system and we have been back up and running with no issues. (Thanks Nick for the chat!!!)Our family's food habits have changed for the better in our home over the past couple of years and I just can't ever see it going back to how it was. Thanks, team for the awesome product!!!

This is my second time trying bokashi composting. The first time I made my own buckets. I must say, I really like how convenient it is to buy a pre-made one that’s ready to use. I also love the square design - it fits nicely below my kitchen sink. I was initially worried about the lid seal allowing oxygen into my bucket, but I’ve had no issues and my EM seems to be thriving. I’m very happy I made the decision to buy these buckets.

Just started composting my kitchen scraps using the Bokashi Living kit in June 2020. The process is quite straightforward. We fill one container while the other one ferments for two weeks. I live in the Rocky Mountains at 8,000 ft. so we can't have outdoor compost piles because of wildlife. My only complaint is that the spigot has been leaky. Wish is were more sturdy. Otherwise, I'm a Bokashi convert.

We LOVE these things! Outdoors, we have a static pile of leaves, grass and yard waste, but indoors has bothered me for a while—I HATE throwing out food waste. And things are even trickier at our house because I’m vegan and my wife isn’t, so we have plenty of non-vegetable waste. With the Bokashi bucket, problem solved! They’re easy to use, NO odor when sealed and surprisingly little odor when opened, the bokashi system is awesome. It takes us about 3 weeks to fill one of these large bins (that still fit under our sink, easy peasy) and when the first one’s full and fermenting, we’re filling up the second. With two bins, it’s easy to keep one in constant rotation, and they “pickle” everything from meat and bones to pizza and fruit. It all breaks down beautifully in the garden in about a month (slower in winter), and you get “tea” to use as a house plant food in the mean time! I HIGHLY RECOMMEMD this product! 💚💚💚
