Worm farms and Bokashi Buckets for units and flats
A worm farm is a good alternative to a compost bin for people with less space or no garden. You can keep a worm farm in a small outside area that is undercover. This could be your carpark, garage or verandah.
Council does not sell worm farms or worms. Buy them from CERES community environment park or nurseries.
A Bokashi Bucket is anaerobic system that uses bokashi to ferment food waste. Bokashi is made from sawdust, bran and micro-organisms. It normally takes around 2 months to fill the bucket with food waste. Once the bucket is full you bury the food waste in soil and it breaks down in a few days.
Council does not sell Bokashi Buckets. You can buy one from The Environment Shop.
