Bokashi Bin Set of 2 Natural Indoor Kitchen Composter with 1 KG Bokashi Bran

I have now purchased 6 of these bins - as I have found them to be so useful. Producing lots of liquid fertiliser for our plants and shrubs. The bokashi bins are air tight and don't smell. They are stored in our garage, which helps maintain an even temperature throughout the year. I am then tipping the remaining solid residue into a rotating composter in our garden, which completes the final stage of producing rich compost for our planting. Highly recommend.

This is a fantastic solution for indoor composting if you are able to follow instructions and be there each day to drain it. We used them happily for a while and loved them. But you've got to be honest with yourself - if you're someone who often has to go away for work or doesn't have a stable weekly routine then these might not be for you. If you don't drain them daily or leave them for too long once they are full then the process will go from fermenting to rotting really quick and you'll have a failed batch. And trust me when I say you do not want to experience the sewage smell these things give off when you're burying a failed batch into the ground and having to clean out the bin. We have ended up returning to normal composting as bokashi just ended up being too high maintenance for us. That's not to say they wouldn't be great for someone else though - it really depends on what your lifestyle is like.

I bought these bins about a year ago but the lid already broke recently even though I have always been careful handling it.Also, it's worth noting that these bins don't compost any food waste turning into soil. They simply turn rubbish into juices which can then me uses to fertilize plants.

The media could not be loaded. Lots of people saying the lid doesn’t fit the bin. It does fit if you run your fingers along the edges towards the corner as you’re putting it on. In order for the bin to work properly, it needs to be airtight, hence why some people may be having trouble getting them on.

I loved the idea and felt the quality of plastic was good considering the price. I found it extremely difficult to fix the tap to the unit as there is very little room for fingers. When draining after a few days I was pleased with the 30ml of fluid, but saw some fluid on the floor. It was outside at this juncture. I assumed the tap had been dripping so tightened it by turning the tap unit. I thought this would solve the problem. I brought it indoors and after a couple of days I wanted to drain it again and had to remove it from the worktop. To my horror all underneath the tub was thick brown gunge. The stuff that should been my lovely plant food! It had been seeping down and under the unit so slowly that there was not obvious drip as there had been before. I am going to continue with this batch otherwise all is wasted but I would like a refund please. Such a disappointment. Not to mention annoyance as the damanged work top.

The bin was working fine until one of the lids split, which obviously allows air to enter the bin. As this was purchased about 4 months ago, I have not been able to find a way to contact the seller to enquire how to obtain a replacement.Update: After contacting the seller with a photo of the split lid, a new lid was promptly sent.

Just received mine and am generally pleased with the product. The description stated they were white when they were actually grey (not a problem for me, but I prefer product descriptions to be accurate). Some of the photos show a grey bin. The lids seem a bit flimsy and are very tight, which could be a problematic combination. Good but not perfect.

Trying to go greener, the kitchen composters I’ve tried, encourages flyers and the smell is foul.However , This Bokashi double bin set is ideal.No smell , no fly, easy to use.All the waste , liquid, it makes is added to either the veg beds, the flower beds or the composter.We cannot put food scraps into are usual composter, as we live in the rural edge of town, the rats can be seen above ground and we don’t wish to poison them, we have owls near by.The liquid is strong for plant food but mixed correctly, even the house plants are thriving.Highly recommended for value and feeling more green , without the smell or fly problem.Easy to use.Have bought extras for gifts to green-eco family members.
