Was looking at Bokashi Bucket that ferments food waste. Has anyone used one. It seems like a good way to pre-process waste before composting or adding to the soil. |

Yeah Duff - the MIL has one. Not ure of the sizes available but hers is only able to cope with the scrpas from one old lady - it's pretty damn small ( & not cheap). I read the blurb but I'm still unsure what the advantage is over straight composting. |

Was thinking of a small wheelie bin and put a tap in it. There are a tonne of thoses bins sitting on the road side every week. |

I thought this topic was going to be about something totally different.... They have the buckets at our local B store, including the starter material. Never tried it myself and don't know of anyone who has so I can't comment.. Would like to know if they work ok.. |
