Recycling has always been important in my family; we recycled everything we could… or so I thought. Before moving to Arizona, we had our green barrel for our grass clippings, the blue barrel for other recyclables and the overflowing black barrel for trash. But the kitchen scraps were just thrown away. Not anymore… our trash collector has a much lighter load when he stops at our household.

I have become a compulsive composter since I fell in love with our EM Compost Container and EM-Bokashi. This amazing container is made from recycled plastic, holds about 5 gallons of food waste, has an air tight lid, a convenient plastic strainer and spigot, and a handy multi-use cup. I keep mine in my laundry room, but it can easily be stored under a kitchen sink. The Bokashi (fermented organic matter) is the key to the fermenting process. Its beneficial microorganisms accelerate decomposition and really help eliminate odors. There is no need to worry about a smelly compost container when you use Bokashi!

Compost is one of nature’s best fertilizers so don’t throw away your kitchen scraps….add them to the EM Compost Container and start your nutrient rich compost right in your own home. It’s easy, economical and you will be helping our planet too! Did you know that much of the space in landfills is taken up with organic waste from our yards and kitchens? In kitchen waste alone, the average household produces more than 200 pounds a year of recyclable waste. Kitchen scraps, or "greens" are typically high in nitrogen, which helps heat up the compost and speed up the composting process. Don’t forget the coffee grounds and crushed egg shells; they are great additions to your composting scraps.

Composting will produce a wonder-fully rich organic soil amendment to fertilize your houseplants, lawn and garden. Order your Kitchen Compost Container today…it makes com-posting hassle (and odor!) – free... AND your trash collector will love you for it.
