Premium Bokashi Composting Starter Kit (Includes 1 Bokashi Bin, 2.2lbs of Bokashi Bran and Full Instructions)
Key Features
- • Don’t be fooled by the slightly cheaper, Made in China copies of our bins! While they may look the same (just in a different color), the quality is inferior and they do not hold up over time.
- • Excellent value on this complete bokashi starter kit. This kit provides everything you need to successfully begin bokashi composting in your home. Included is 1 x bokashi bin, 1 x 2.2 lb bag of premium bokashi bran, and our Complete Guide to Bokashi Composting.
- • This is a premium quality bokashi bin, custom made for us with a superior quality lid and spigot, ensuring that it is easier to use and durable enough to handle repeated use.
- • This kit includes enough bran to ferment at least 6 full bokashi bins, which lasts a typical smaller kitchen about 9 months.
- • Using a single bokashi bin is an excellent composting option for kitchens that generate only smaller amounts of food waste. Note that for most households, our 2 BIN STARTER KIT would be the preferred choice, as using two bins allows you to continuously collect and ferment ALL of your food waste.
Product Description
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 1 bin bokashi starter kit provides everything you need to get bokashi composting started successfully in your home, office, school or community. Using 1 bin is the preferred option for kitchens that don't generate very much food waste, such as single occupancy homes, offices and classrooms. Also its perfect for those gardeners who don't have a lot of garden space requiring compost, like an apartment with a small patio. For all other households, especially those that have a front and/or back garden, we recommend using our 2 BIN SYSTEM, as using two bins allows for a CONTINUOUS collection of your food waste. INCLUDED IN THIS STARTER KIT ARE: 1 x kitchen composter, 1 x 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag of premium grade bokashi bran and our Complete Guide to Bokashi Composting.

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! 💚💚💚
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
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!!!
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.
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.
