A range of designs are available from traditional ceramics and stoneware, to bright colors and chrome or stainless steel finishes.  Whatever the current theme of your kitchen design there should be a compost crock to suit.

Compost Pails are best with one sturdy carry handle.  This makes it simple to carry even a full crock of kitchen scraps out to the backyard compost bin.  Most are dishwasher safe too, making cleaning simple.

Under counter kitchen compost buckets can be less attractive, and much larger as they are kept out of site, but for anything on the countertop, a one gallon size is most suitable and most attractive.  Having a container on the counter for collecting vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and so on, makes life simple.  No-one should forget to save their scraps for adding to the compost bin if there is something close to hand on the counter.

Bokashi Kitchen Composter

The best way to recycle kitchen food waste is with a Bokashi Kitchen Composter.  This is the only method of Kitchen Composting to deal with all types fo food scraps in a completely natural way.  Most gardeners agree adding certain food waste to the garden composter is a bad idea, as it may be slow to break down, attractive to vermin and potentially hazardous to handle.

But sending all your food scraps to landfill is to waste a huge resource.  Far better to recycle those kitchen scraps, but how to do it safely?

All kinds of kitchen scraps can be added to a Bokashi Composter.  From dairy, meat and fish to processed and cooked foods, even bones can be safely dealt with using the Bokashi system.  This recycling of ALL kitchen scraps means you save a huge volume of waste from heading to landfill.  This saves on resources generally, and of course reduces methaneemissions from such dumps.  On a more selfish and practical note, it is great to be keeping all the goodness contained in those scraps for yourself.  Why pay to for potting compost and liquid feeds when your hard-earned kitchen scraps will provide them all free of charge.

Waste is simply added to the Bokashi Composter on a daily basis.  The lid is kept closed for as much of the day as possible as this is anaerobic composting.  We do not want to let air in, or out of this kitchen composter.  The Bokashi system relies on fermentation rather than putrefaction so there should be no offensive odours and no problem dealing with all your kitchen waste and food scraps.

Once the Bokashi Kitchen Composter is full, simply seal it and leave for a fortnight.  After this time, your kitchen scraps will have been transformed into safe to handle food waste that is of a 'pickled' appearance.  The waste can then be added to a conventional garden composter or buried directly in the garden soil or in pots.  In either situation the food waste will continue to break down into more conventional compost, releasing its nutrients into the surrounding matter.
