SCD Organko Composter

Unlike traditional composting that relies on oxygen, the SCD Organko uses an airtight fermentation process. By adding the included Bokashi starter, you break down food waste anaerobically, which is significantly faster and prevents the typical rotting smells associated with open compost piles.

The system is designed for most food waste, including cooked foods, meat, and dairy, which are often prohibited in traditional compost bins. However, you should avoid adding large bones, liquids, or excessively oily items to ensure the fermentation process remains effective.

The fermentation process produces a nutrient-rich liquid byproduct known as leachate. You can collect this liquid using the included teacup and dilute it with water to create a potent, organic fertilizer for your indoor or outdoor plants.

Yes, the lid is designed to create an airtight seal that keeps odors contained during the fermentation cycle. While you may notice a mild, vinegar-like scent when you open the bin to add new scraps, the system is specifically engineered to remain neutral-smelling when closed.

Once the bin is full, it needs to sit for approximately two weeks to complete the fermentation process. After this period, the fermented waste can be buried in a garden soil patch or added to a traditional compost pile to finish breaking down into nutrient-dense soil.

Yes, the bin is constructed from 77% post-consumer recycled plastic. It is a durable, stationary unit designed to be a long-term solution for household waste reduction.
