Completely air tight so no smells or flies and looks great in any kitchen setting. All types of food scraps can be added including greens, meat, fish, citrus, dairy, coffee grounds, wilted flowers, egg shells and more. Turns organic scraps and leftovers (including meat) into nutrient-rich fertilizer right in your kitchen, with no bad smells!

The Urban Composter is an anaerobic composting system that uses microorganisms to ferment food scraps so they can quickly break down when buried into soil.  The result is a rich & nutritious soil conditioner.

The Urban Composter includes:

• 1 x Urban Composter bucket made from recycled plastics
• 1 x Compost Accelerator spray
• 1 x Compost Accelerator refill
• Instructions.

The Urban Composter system applies the Bokashi micro-organism from a spray bottle, so there is no need to cart around and store the sawdust/grain option that is used as a carrier for the micro-organism.  That said, you can use either form of Bokashi powder or spray bottle with either system.

you are making a difference:

• Return your food scraps to the earth to enrich the soil, reduce waste and reduce carbon emissions.

how does it work:

• Cut up your food scraps and throw them into the Urban Composter bucket.
• Spray Compost Accelerator onto the scraps every time they are added (recommend 4-5 sprays evenly over scraps).  Bokashi grain mix can also be used if desired.
• Push scraps down to compact the layers each time and ensure lid is sealed.
• In just a few days you can drain off the soil conditioner from the tap.
• When the bucket is full, simply drain all the remaining liquid, dilute it and add to plants.  Dig the remaining pulp into some soil and leave it to settle for 6-8 weeks.
• The treated soil is ready to spread on the garden, top dress your lawn or add to your plant pots for some great results.
• When emptied clean only with fresh water and vinegar as this won’t harm microbes inside composter.

This local Brisbane company have made some important, positive changes recently. The box now has a cello coating (previously it had a plastic film), so the entire product is now biodegradable. Also, all components of the product, including the packaging, are now manufactured in Australia (previously some parts were manufactured in China), supporting local industries and communities. 

Made in Australia.
