I share information about bokashi composting to remove the confusion and mystery about it. You have your own buckets to collect the compost? No problem. You can buy only the bokashi. If you want to be adventurous, you can make your own bokashi, but I’m just as happy selling it too.
Same thing with the buckets. There are commercial systems available but home made solutions ones work too.
Jay Summet shows how he made a bokashi bucket with
[a cat litter container], a $5 Coleman igloo spout, and some laser cut 1/8 inch acrylic left over from a picture frame.
Important note: Not all buckets come with “pre-existing plastic strengthening tabs in the bottom of the cat litter container” so you will need another method of raising the acrylic above the bottom of the bucket.
The other One solution is to have two nesting buckets, with holes drilled into the top [inside] bucket, so the liquid drains into the second, as mine do.

Sounds cool. I did a search on Google for Bokashi and see they normally come with the composting ingredients (for beginners like me!) - will save in our green disposal footprint too since we throw out too much greenery in our garden.
