However, there are numerous individuals without access to a garden who still wish to compost to divert waste from landfills.
Bokashi One Composting is a great solution for composting with no garden.
The Bokashi One Bucket, conveniently sized at 20 litres, can be placed in the kitchen for easy access while continuously adding food waste. Its compact design allows it to be kept on the kitchen floor or in a cupboard, eliminating the need to step outside each time there's food waste to dispose of. It can also be kept in the laundry or balcony is space is limited in the kitchen.
