Bokashi JuiceThe amount of juice your Bokashi One kitchen composting system produces depends on the type of food stored in it; so don’t be concerned if little or no juice is produced.

One Bucket or Two?You may prefer to set up your system using two buckets. One of the benefits of having two buckets is the convenience. If you have only one bucket, when it is full the waste needs to be buried immediately to continue to use the system, with a second bucket the waste can be buried at a more convenient time before you fill up your second bucket. Also by rotating the buckets the waste has more time to ferment (especially good for homes that produce a lot of waste), the longer the waste ferments the quicker it will breakdown in the soil, and additionally, more wonderful bokashi juice is produced. |
