What is a Bokashi?
The Bokashi Bucket transforms kitchen waste into a nutrient rich soil conditioner.
Using the Effective Micro-Organism (EM) the Bokashi creates ideal conditions for anaerobic composting bacteria.
Manufacturers say that you can compost almost every kitchen food waste in your Bokashi Bucket - fruit and vegetables, prepared foods, meat, dairy and even tissues.
Once full just bury the contents of the bucket and the manufacturers say it will compost in the soil (not in the bucket). Bokashi Buckets can be purchased online or at retail outlets.

I have been working with a remarkable community development and welfare person. This lady has three degrees and tirelessly helps over 3000 aboriginal people obtain social justice when she has a disability of her own. Presently the government is fighting against the work she is doing to fight cultural genocide. I am concerned for her as she needs funds and volunteers to assit her. She needs anthropologists, professional and non professional assistance to bring about self determination for those that she helps around the clock. Please contact her at 0447 178 329 and ask for Ruth you can tell her I wrote to you. She is remarkable and please support the work she is doing helping elders and members. We must help her stop the government cruelty and control over aboriginal decision making and customs.
