Description
- A fast & revolutionary way to compost kitchen food waste. Throw the food inside, spray, close the lid and leave. Fast breakdown, without the use of oxygen, ensures smells are kept to a minimum; the tight-fitting lid ensures no spills or flies. Creates a nutrient-rich fertilizer which can be mixed directly with soil. Less mess than a bokashi bucket, and much less complicated than a wormery Urban Composter uses a natural probiotic spray to speed up the break down of scraps, including meat & fish. The tap will siphon off the liquid waste, which can be diluted into an extremely effective plant feed. How it works: The Urban Composter couldn’t be simpler to use. Like any organic composting process it takes a little bit of trial and error but help is available through our Urban Composter Facebook page. 1. Add your scraps to the bucket-- Cut your scraps into small pieces are placed into the Urban Composter. All types of food scraps can be composted including: Meat, Fish, Vegies, Fruit, Dairy, Coffee, Wilted Flowers (no bones or excessive liquids). 2. Spray with Compost Accelerator-- The Compost Accelerator Spray replaces messy Bokashi Bran in the Urban Composter. Urban Composter Compost Accelerator is sprayed on to the scraps which assists the break down and fermentation of the scraps in the bucket. The Urban Composter composts using an anerobic composting process which means that the food scraps don’t rot or smell while breaking down. 3. Drain the bucket every couple of days-- Draining the Urban Composter Bucket is an essential part of bokashi composting. As the scraps ferment, liquids are released. This juice – which is saturated in good bacteria and nutrients – can be drained from the bucket every few days. This can be used as an excellent fertilizer for plants, or can be flushed down drains as it promotes septic systems. 4. Mix with soil-- The scraps will break down in approx 4-8 weeks. Once the bucket is full, and all the liquid drained, the pulp can be added to soil. It can be: buried in the garden, in a pot or planter of soil, added to outdoor composting or to worm farms.
