The Urban Composter is an anaerobic composting system that uses microorganisms to ferment food scraps so they can quickly break down when buried into soil. The result is a rich & nutritious soil conditioner.
The Urban Composter includes:
- 1 x Urban Composter bucket made from recycled plastics
- 1 x black coloured lid
- 1 x drain tray and tap
- Instructions.
The Urban Composter system applies the Bokashi micro-organism from a spray bottle, so there is no need to cart around and store the sawdust/grain option that is used as a carrier for the micro-organism. That said, you can use either form of Bokashi powder or spray bottle with either system. Compost accelerator needs to be purchased separately for $9.95.
you are making a difference:
- Return your food scraps to the earth to enrich the soil, reduce waste and reduce carbon emissions.
how does it work:
- Cut up your food scraps and throw them into the Urban Composter bucket.
- Spray Compost Accelerator onto the scraps every time they are added (recommend 4-5 sprays evenly over scraps). Bokashi grain mix can also be used if desired.
- Push scraps down to compact the layers each time and ensure lid is sealed.
- In just a few days you can drain off the soil conditioner from the tap.
- When the bucket is full, simply drain all the remaining liquid, dilute it and add to plants. Dig the remaining pulp into some soil and leave it to settle for 6-8 weeks.
- The treated soil is ready to spread on the garden, top dress your lawn or add to your plant pots for some great results.
- When emptied clean only with Citrus Natural Cleaner spray as this won’t harm microbes inside composter, or fresh water.
Compost accelerator available to purchase separately.
