I went to the Gardening Australia Expo today and came across the Eco Bokashi Bucket…
They look convenient. A little bucket you can put in your kitchen to accept the kitchen scraps – including meat and paper – and doesn’t smell.
I just can’t believe they don’t smell? Have you got one? Seen one working? Smelt one working??
Also they are expensive – $100 for the starter kit which included 3 months worth of the microbe stuff, the bucket, a potato masher and a measuring cup. Well it seems expensive to me for a bucket but… it would be very convenient – if it worked. They didn’t have one on display working so I’m just not sure.
Having said that – if they’d given me a discount I would have bought one on the spot!

I read about one of these elsewhere not too long ago, and read up on them etc.
And yeah, they’re expensive.
I think i’ll be getting the watertank first, and then maybe a worm farm – I don’t think they’re too stinky …. and worm casings ROCK as plant food…
I (an agricultural science graduate) killed my first worm farm because I forgot to turn onthe tap and they drowned.
The attraction of the bokushi is that you have it inside…

We used to have a plastic stainer-type thingy when growing up .. shaped like a quarter-circle, it snugged into one corner of the sink. You chucked all your egg-shells and peelings in there, and then were supposed to take it out to your compost ( or in our case, chooks ).
Didn’t smell a bit. Probably cost $1.98 from Coles
