The Eco Organic Kitchen Bokashi bin is a non-smelly compost or worm farm alternative suitable for people living in large or small buildings.

Bokashi is a fermentation method to prepare almost ANY kitchen waste (incl. carnivorous waste) for composting (incl. directly into the earth). This makes it a very interesting candidate for handling food waste quickly and efficiently from urban sites, institutions, and other places where compost bins would be inconvenient or would otherwise attract pests. It is also a powerful carbon sink, since the method produces no greenhouse gases and can be scaled to sequester large amounts of carbon. Variants of the Bokashi method also show promise in bio-remediation.

Order your Magic Supreme Worm Farm  (normally R710-00 with 500 worms), now with 1,000 red wigglers, and our recently launched Eco Organics Kitchen Composter, with 2 bags of Eco Organics Bokashi (normally R250-00 with 1 bag of Eco Organics Bokashi), all for R860-00, excluding postage charges.  A saving of R180-00!

• ALL kitchen refuse can be put into the bokashi system, even fish, meat, cheese, and bones.
• There is no odor as there is no oxygen to react with the scraps and the lid on the bucket is air-tight.
• Since you are not putting the raw kitchen refuse into a compost making system outdoors, you don’t have to worry about bugs, or animals digging up the refuse.  The finished product that you ultimately put into your garden or compost mixture is already pickled so it doesn’t attract bugs or animals.
• The bokashi method is much faster.  The resulting product is ready within two weeks of when you finish filling the bucket.
• The liquid resulting from the process is excellent for your plants when mixed with water in a 100:1 ratio.
• You reduce the amount of refuse you put in the local landfills.  This not only helps the landfills, but it can save you money.
• As with a wormery, you can use the bokashi mix to ferment dog feces, but you must first mix the feces with other organic matter.  Do this separately from the bokashi you will be using for your vegetable garden. After it has fermented, bury it under about 8 inches of soil in your ornamental garden.
• If you have a cat litter box, the addition of a little of the bokashi  mixture to the cat litter each week will reduce the odors and is not harmful to the cats.  The resulting litter can be processed the same way as dog feces and, after it is fermented, it can be buried in your ornamental garden.
• Your bokashi mixture will last for many years if kept in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

• Order your Eco Organic Bokashi bran (food grade) now.
•  We have applied for registration with the Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as an animal husbandry probiotic to be added with the animal’s food.  We have seen great results during our trials adding Eco Organic Bokashi to the feed of horses, cows, chickens, sheep, dogs and cats, etc.
• Add a hanful of Eco Organic Bokashi to your cat litter on a weekly basis.  You just need to remove the droppings.  Animal Welfare in Stellenbosch only changes their cat litter once a month now.  The microbes take care of all odours and kills of all the pathogens in the litter.
• Add 2 hands of bokashi to your outside compost heap everytime that you add a new layer.  Gently spray some water over it and leave.  You’ll see a drastic change in your compost heap within days.
• Bad odours in or around the house. Mist spray some moisture over the area where the smells are coming from anddust some Eco Organics Bokashi over it, or just dust the dog’s poop with it and see a difference overnight.
• Make mudballs with Eco Organic Bokashi and some Vermicast (earthworm poo) and drop it into your koi pond, dam or water future.  Within a few days the water will be clear, and there will be no measurable ammonia levels present.

Eco Organic Kitchen Composter

A 20L system big enough for a household of 5 people, comes complete with a lid, drainage bucket, tap, instruction manual, and a 1kg bag of Eco Organic Bokashi.

The EM (efficient Microbes) infused into bran, will prevent the lost of any energy in what ever food source you place in the system (never put food in that is already starting to rot or going off).  No measurable methane gasses will be released thus this system is complete eco friendly and ‘green”.

The whole process in the system is a fermentation process and what ever waste gets place in the system, will not loose its physical structure.  Once buried in the soil, will the soil microbes assist in breaking it down into the best compost known to man.  Weather depending, the fermented waste will break down completely within 7 to 21 days, the warmer the faster.  Now you are ready to plant straight on top of the buried food waste and all that preserved energy will be available to the new plants.

See our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

ONE of Somerset West’s most luxurious hotels has mites. And worms, and a whole host of other creepy crawlies - but this time, they’re welcome.

In fact, the NH The Lord Charles hotel actually paid money for boxes and boxes of these creatures because they are helping the hotel go green.

It’s all part of the Somerset West hotel’s efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Like most large companies, it generates a substantial amount of waste - from grass cuttings to fused lightbulbs. And in summer, peak season when things get really busy, the amount just multiplies.

The hotel pays a contractor to take care of removing and sorting the hotel’s waste, making sure that items that can be recycled are dealt with accordingly. As from a few weeks ago however, that contractor began removing less and less solid food waste - the leftover lettuce leaves, onions and the like - produced by the hotel’s various kitchens.

That’s because the hotel now has creepy crawlies to feed. The creepy crawlies - mainly earthworms and other small insects - are kept in special containers and over time produce an organic manure that can be used in the hotel’s gardens.

These are no ordinary earthworms, says Vernon Grimmbackher, who owns Wiggler Magic Worms, which supplied the system to the NH The Lord Charles.

“We use surface feeders, ideal for this kind of use, while those in most gardens are burrowers.”

All the hotel staff have to do is make sure the worms are comfortable, dry and don’t accidentally get fed things they shouldn’t eat.

According to hotel sales executive Jaco du Plooy, various departments received training. These included stewarding, the kitchen, gardening and even sales, which use the system as a marketing tool.

“An increasing number of our overseas booking agents want to know what environmental initiatives we have,” he says. These kinds of programmes not only give companies a competitive advantage in particularly European and American markets where corporate environmental behaviour is strictly regulated, but are also seen as the type of corporate behaviour expected of leading companies.

“There was quite a bit of resistance among some staff to the worms at first,” says Du Plooy. “But that was mainly because people didn’t understand the system.”

No foul smell
With vermiculture - the culture of earthworms - there is no foul smell one might associate with common types of composting. “It’s a fully aerobic process,” says Grimmbackher.

Also, the containers are closed and neatly fit into each other - far tidier than any heap of rotting garbage.

The Lord Charles’ “worm hotel” is kept in a small garden shed on the property. It’s home to about 40 000 worms which will eat through 20 kg of waste every second day. Breeding doubles the number of worms every 45 days - and therefore the food they need - until full capacity is reached. Should the hotel need more, additional containers can simply be added.

Smaller systems are available for ordinary households.

Wiggler Magic Worms has been appointed as the sole and exclusive distribution rights to distribute the Tat-G Commercial Digester.

The STANDARD COMMERCIAL MODEL is capable of processing up to 350kg of mixed organic waste per week while occupying just 4.2 sqm of space. Compact and powerful this digester is a drop and go design meaning it requires no services i.e power etc. It only requires access to a hose to fill the on-board water tank from time to time.

Available worldwide in fully erected form or knock-down ready for assembly on-site.

Our TANDEM COMMERCIAL MODEL suits larger waste streams of up to 750kg per week of mixed organic waste. As per the Std model above, it requires no services ensuring that the cost of installation is absolutely minimal, it can perform equally as well out in the paddock or down that back of the yard, just requiring some sunlight for the solar panel to charge the on-board battery.

Available worldwide in knock-down form only, ready for assembly on-site.
