How to make your own Bokashi bucket from two recycled 20 litre buckets.

I did this and it worked perfectly. However, I no longer put the tap in the outer bucket. I find it easier to just lift the inner bucket out and pour off the tea and put the inner bin back in. The spout doesn't work for me because it is too close to the ground. I keep the bucket I am adding to on the kitchen floor. I set the inner bucket on a bucket lid while pouring off the tea. Quick and easy.

I like the ideas that you used the spare lid to make the pusher. Do you leave the pusher inside the bucket all the time or just use it to squeeze the air out of the food scrap and then keep it outside the bucket? When you stack 2 buckets, I think there is still a chance that the air still gets into the gap between them and make the system aerobic. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks
@underthechokotree27925 жыл бұрын
Howdy, yes I leave the pusher in all the time. In terms of air getting in between the buckets, they are a very tight fit and it has not been a problem for us. :-)

Do you have to put a brick or something on the bottom of the outer bucket order to keep the inner bucket elevated so that it will drain?

No, when one bucket fits inside another there are a few centimeters gap between the two, at the bottom

Hi Ingrid, the system uses the effective micro-organism in the bokashi to do the work, I don't know of anything else that will do the job, sorry. Can you order it from another country via the internet? Once you have it there are tutorials by other people showing you how to reproduce it

Question, If you make a third bin, where you put your first bucket bokashi makings and mix it with potting soil, would you get after a month fine indoors potting mix?
@underthechokotree27923 жыл бұрын
Probably, but it depends on what you put in your bokashi bucket to start with. It starts the breakdown process by fermentation but quite often the material retains its shape. Put a tomato in and it gets broken down, but comes out looking like a tomato

@@andrewporfyri559 The Bokashi system uses either sawdust or a spray carrying an effective microorganism which ferments the organic waste. When use properly the system does not give off the "rotting" odour of hydrogen sulphide. If it does that says you are not using enough bokashi material. No 'chemicals' as such, this process is biological.
