20L Bokashi bin (without strainer and tap)

20L Bokashi bin without a strainer and tap.
This works great if you want to transport the Bokashi bin to your local community garden and do not want it to leak in the car.
It takes the same amount of food waste as the 25L with the strainer.

Each kitchen will need 2 x airtight Bokashi bins.
For households of more than 6 people a third bin is usually needed.

Only open Bokashi bin ONCE a day.
Always keep it tightly closed, as you want the least amount of oxygen in the bin.
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Use fresh food waste – NO rotten or mouldy food.
Add all your food waste including cooked and uncooked leftovers, meat, fish, small bones, dairy, citrus and eggshells.
For every layer of food waste, add handful Bokashi powder in the airtight Bokashi bin.

Once the first bin is full, set it aside for a 2 week fermentation period.
Thereafter, the fermented food waste is ready for Stage 2 and can be composted with garden waste, fed to a worm farm, buried in highly depleted soil, or donated to a community garden.
