The Christmas season brings joy, laughter, and... food waste! From hearty Christmas dinners to festive gatherings with endless leftovers, it’s easy to end up with more food scraps and trimmings than expected. This is where bokashi composting comes into its own. Unlike traditional composting, bokashi is fast, compact, and can manage a wide range of food waste—including cooked leftovers, dairy, and even meat—making it ideal for handling the extra waste.

Bokashi: The Ultimate Solution for Festive Food Waste

Bokashi composting uses beneficial microbes to ferment food waste in an airtight container, breaking it down quickly without any unpleasant odours. For those big meals, bokashi composting can tackle nearly anything from vegetable scraps and potato peelings to turkey bones and leftover roast. Since bokashi pre-compost can handle meat, dairy, and other foods usually kept out of a standard compost bin, you don’t have to worry about what goes in. This is especially useful in a busy household over Christmas, as it keeps waste out of landfills while creating rich compost that can be added to garden soil after the fermentation process is complete.

Why the Organko Essential Bin is Perfect for the Festive Season

The Organko Essential Bokashi Bin is a top choice for Christmas composting—and with good reason! With a generous 9.6-litre capacity, it’s designed to handle all the extra food waste that accumulates during family gatherings. Large enough to accommodate several days' worth of scraps, it spares you the need to empty it constantly during the celebrations. The sleek, compact design in stylish grey fits seamlessly into any kitchen, so you can keep it handy for easy access during food prep.

The Organko Essential Bin comes with everything needed to get started, including a supply of bokashi bran to activate the composting process. Its airtight lid and easy-drain spout make it user-friendly and minimise odours. During fermentation, you’ll also be able to drain off bokashi “tea” – a nutrient-rich liquid byproduct that can be diluted to fertilise plants or used as a natural drain cleaner.
