How to make compost quickly? Bokashi composter — modern home fermentation

Home recycling of food scraps is a way to get free nutrients for your plants. At skwer.pl I tested how the Bokashi system performs in daily use and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with a garden or flat.

What is Bokashi and does it smell?

It is a Japanese method of anaerobic fermentation. Thanks to EM bacteria and airtight buckets, waste “pickles” instead of rotting. The composter does not smell bad — only a light fermenting odour. It is ideal for kitchens, offices, or restaurants.

How to use “Bokashi tea”?

Liquid collected from the tap is a powerful concentrate — so-called “black gold”. Diluted 1:100, I use it to regenerate plants in winter gardens and orangeries. The whole process takes just two weeks.

Which composter to buy?

In my projects I recommend the Skaza brand (Bokashi Organko model). I recommend it for 100% airtightness, modern design from recycled plastic, and exceptional functionality. If you are my client in Szczecin, I will gladly advise a model that fits your setup.
