“Love the product. It surely
encourages recycling! Thanks!"

I bought a Bokashi Bucket about 3months ago. I am
absolutely thrilled with it. As we live in a unit with a very small
amount of garden, it is ideal for our situation. Thank you Eco-Organics for a great
product.

“Very happy to be using the Bokashi Bucket. It
has reduced the amount of rubbish that goes out in the bin each
week. I also get great soil from it. The odourless bin works well in
the house and my two teenage sons are happy to dig the holes in the
garden because they know it works."

We purchased our Bokashi System about
four weeks ago and I have to say, all that you claim on your Website
IS TRUE. My 17 Year Old Son
has had the Job of emptying our Compost bin , since we are life long
vegetarians, Four Kids, Two Adults, our bin (average Bucket with
lid) needed emptying every day.
He never did protest, but he is now
wrapt not to have to do it daily...its taken about three weeks to
fill it, and Yep, we will be ordering a Second System, so that the
first Lot can BREW....
thanks Guys, Every Kitchen should use
this system...... I will tell you
how my Veggie Garden is faring in a few Months !

“It is fabulous. We use it on our Olive Grove
property in Tasmania. We love
it."

“We at Banyule have implemented the Bokashi system at a
number of our own offices, and are trialling the commercial sized
bin as well. We are very happy with the system, and it has
been very readily accepted by our staff. The 20 litre buckets
are situated in our lunch rooms and office kitchens, and take all
organic wastes - including a large proportion of citrus and fruit
scraps, which are usually a problem for worm farms.
The full buckets are collected by Council's Cleansing Unit and
the contents are dug into our gardens. The
'Bokashi Juice' as it has become known by staff is highly
sought after as a liquid fertiliser for home
gardens . Overall, it's a great system!"
Maree Pollard,
Banyule Council Re-think Centre
"The bokashi bucket is EXCELLENT . . . it
suits my business down to the ground…I don’t have smelly rubbish
anymore as all of the organic waste from my restaurant’s kitchen is
put into the bucket to eventually be used on my organic garden… I no
longer have to empty my rubbish bins every 2-3 days because of the
smell …now I have a very clean area and it is more efficient for my
business…I have a really nice totally organic garden and I feel that
I am giving back to nature by using the Bokashi bucket… and I think
it is definitely a trend to follow!”
Leon Toy, Toy's

I have
been using the Bokashi Composting system and find it
excellent for the garden and vegetable beds.
The house waste decomposes much more
rapidly than by the conventional methods.
Initially I was emptying the contents
of the fermenting bin directly into the garden beds and
digging the contents into the bed. I am using only kitchen waste ie:
vegetable,fruit peelings. The kitchen fermenting bin contents are now put directly into
rubbish bins and covered with a layer of compost from the original
compost bin including dozens of worms. Each fortnight the bins are
stirred with a fork.
All this took place three months ago,
the broad beans are now 20cms high and the snow peas about the same
size around the bins.
"I greatly appreciate this service. I put
the first full bucket into a friend's veggie garden and the soil has
improved dramatically if worm count is a good indicator!"
Bronwen,
Castlemaine.
"Just writing to tell you that the (Bokashi Bucket) that we
bought at the 2003 sustainable Living Festival is working
well. Living in a flat with minimal space the bin sits nicely
in the corner in the kitchen and doesn't get in the way at
all. I empty the contents into a communal garden space and dig
through the rather poor soil presently there. However, since
adding the compost waste the plants have all burst into life.
This year's tomato
crop is going "gang busters"
to say the least. It's far the best crop grown in the
garden to date."

"It is a magical thing and we are now
encouraging our friends to discover it as well.
We dug our first lot in under the mango
tree and within just over a week it was looking l
ike fabulous soil, not compost which would
take months to look the same . . . it is a
great thing and the garden is turning into
a forest."
Sue Thompson

"I am a relative "newby" to the Bokashi
system having received it as a gift last year from
a friend on the "big island" I have found
it brilliant system where just everything from the
kitchen goes into the bucket including the
things you mustn't put in like meat and citrus
peels etc.bones though I then have two
fertilisers, the liquid which I dilute 1:10 (or
1:20 / 30 for seedlings,) and the
solids I either dig in or add to the compost bin for a
richer result, sorry the bread scraps
feed the birds! I also use the bokashi powder in
my compost bin with lid (the gedye type)
and find the breakdown time from raw materials
to great compost is almost halved. The worm
population has increased and the resulting
vegies are super, a great organic product.
Great to have near the BBQ and encourage
guests to put everything in there
(including non coated paper plates and serviettes
after they have been soaked in water to
soften a little, preferably no bones though.
I could rave on about the bokashi system
and its attributes and there are so many
more things I am experimenting with which I
will keep you updated on.
