Skaza Bokashi Organko 2

Unlike traditional composting that relies on oxygen and heat, the Bokashi method uses anaerobic fermentation. By keeping the lid airtight, you create a controlled environment where beneficial microbes break down food scraps, including meat and dairy, which are typically off-limits for standard compost piles.

When used correctly with the airtight lid, the unit is designed to contain odors completely. You might notice a slightly tangy, pickled scent when you open the lid to add scraps, which is a normal sign that the fermentation process is working.

The 9.6-liter capacity is ideal for small to medium-sized households, comfortably handling daily food scraps for a few days before needing to be emptied. If you generate a high volume of kitchen waste, you may want to consider having a second unit to rotate while the first one finishes fermenting.

No, the Organko 2 is specifically designed for indoor use. It is not weather-resistant, and extreme temperature fluctuations outdoors can disrupt the delicate fermentation process required for the Bokashi method.

Maintenance is minimal. You simply need to drain the liquid (bokashi tea) from the tap every few days to prevent buildup and ensure the fermentation remains effective. The unit itself is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth, but it should not be put in the dishwasher.
