SCD Organko Composting Kit

Traditional composting relies on aerobic decomposition, which requires turning piles and oxygen. The SCD Organko uses an anaerobic, airtight fermentation process that breaks down food waste much faster and without the typical rot or smell associated with outdoor piles.

No. The lid is designed to be completely airtight, which prevents pests like fruit flies from entering and keeps odors contained inside the unit. As long as the lid is sealed properly, your kitchen will remain odor-free.

You can compost almost all kitchen scraps, including cooked food, meat, dairy, and small bones—items that are typically off-limits for traditional backyard compost bins. Just avoid adding liquids like milk or juice, and large, thick bones.

The spigot allows you to drain the 'compost tea' that accumulates at the bottom of the bin during fermentation. This liquid is a potent, nutrient-rich fertilizer that, when diluted with water, is excellent for feeding houseplants and garden soil.

Yes, this system requires a bran-based starter, often called Bokashi bran. This inoculant contains the beneficial microbes necessary to kickstart the fermentation process and neutralize odors.

Not immediately. The material coming out of the bin is 'pre-compost' and is quite acidic. It needs to be buried in soil or added to a traditional compost pile for two to four weeks to finish breaking down before it is safe for direct contact with plant roots.
