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 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. Bokashi composting, we're passionate about it and it's all we do!

The change we didn't realize we needed

The change we didn't realize we needed
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!!!
