Composting Kitchen Waste is Really Easy! (Part 1)

The most effective method (that we know at present) of composting organic kitchen waste is using Bokashi as a compost starter. You'll need an airtight container for the whole process. It's really easy once you know the steps.

Bokashi is a Japanese term that means 'fermented organic matter'. It is a bran-based material that has been fermented with Biotechnology liquid product concentrate, and dried for storage. Bokashi has a pleasant (sweet-sour) smell.

One thing to remember on how to store bokashi - store it in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight. Easy eh?
