Description
Feed The Soil is a programme where compost is made from organic waste collected from households. By purchasing and using our Food Waste Kit, you actively form part of our new urban farming eco-system through growing community gardens – From paying forward your organic waste to buying fresh produce grown from it – it’s a sustainable circular eco-system.
Your Food Waste Tool Kit will include
- 1 x 5 litre Organic Waste Bin
- 1 x 25 litre Storage Bin
- 1 x bag of Sawdust
- 1 x bag of Bokashi
The Process
- 5 litre bucket is the kitchen bucket – put this on your kitchen counter or under your sink.
- 25 litre bucket is the storage bucket that can stay in your garage.
- Before starting to deposit your organic/food waste into your 25 litre bucket, please throw your sawdust in first so that it sits at the base.
- Seal the lid of your 25 litre container after each deposit from your 5 litre kitchen bucket.
- Once your 25 litre bucket is full, throw a handful of bokashi on top and seal the lid shut.
- DO NOT contaminate your waste with plastic, glass or metals.
