Know before you buy
Yes. Unlike traditional aerobic composting, the anaerobic fermentation process used by the TeraGanix system safely breaks down meat, dairy, and oily foods without attracting pests or creating rot.
The system uses EM® (Effective Microorganisms) to ferment your waste rather than letting it decay. Because the process is anaerobic and the buckets are sealed with airtight lids, the contents remain pickled and odor-free.
Once the bucket is full, the waste needs to ferment for about two weeks. After that, the material is technically 'pre-composted' and must be buried in your garden soil or added to a traditional compost pile to finish breaking down into nutrient-rich soil.
The two-bucket system allows for continuous use. You fill one bucket while the other is sealed and undergoing the two-week fermentation process, ensuring you never have to stop collecting scraps.
No, the kit comes with 5 lbs of EM® Premium Bokashi starter, which is all you need to get started. You simply sprinkle a layer of the starter over your food scraps each time you add them to the bucket.
Absolutely. Its compact, stationary design is specifically intended for indoor use, making it an excellent solution for kitchens with limited space where traditional outdoor composting isn't an option.
