SCD Probiotics All Seasons Composter

This system uses a Bokashi fermentation process, which is anaerobic and happens indoors. Unlike traditional composting that relies on oxygen and decomposition, this method ferments your waste, allowing you to safely include items like meat, dairy, and oily foods that usually attract pests in outdoor piles.

When used correctly with the included Bokashi starter, the system is designed to be virtually odorless. The airtight, locking lid maintains the necessary environment for fermentation and prevents smells from escaping into your kitchen.

The liquid is a nutrient-rich byproduct often called 'compost tea.' You can drain it from the spigot every few days and use it as a potent liquid fertilizer for your houseplants or garden, though it should be diluted with water first.

Once the bin is full, the waste needs to finish fermenting for about two weeks. After that, the fermented material—which will look similar to what you put in—needs to be buried in soil or added to a traditional compost pile to fully break down into nutrient-rich soil.

While the airtight lid keeps pests out of your kitchen, this unit is designed for indoor use only. It is not intended for outdoor storage, so you do not need to worry about rodents accessing it inside your home.

Yes, this system requires Bokashi starter (a mix of bran inoculated with beneficial microbes) to facilitate the fermentation process. The kit includes a starter to get you going, but you will need to purchase refills periodically as you continue to compost.
