Soaking your Scraps

By soaking your scraps in wastewater all the odours mingle and the decomposition process starts.  Your waste breaks down quicker, therefore you get better use of your pots.  Much like adding EMO (Effective Microorganisms) to a Bokashi system but with your wastewater instead. You can use wastewater with detergent if you have really dry soil.   The detergent breaks the surface tension of the soil allowing the water to penetrate into the soil.  You can use EMO's also if you like or if you have a Bokashi you can get a few Compots to compliment your Bokashi.   However I do recommend that you fill your bokashi bucket with water (not to full or it will be too heavy) the night before you empty it.  This is to ensure the waste is nice and wet when you toss it in your pot. Five pots allow you to place the Compots strategically around a medium to large size garden.  So, in the end, you get a better result all over your garden and less need to move them.  But of course, it is your decision if you want to move them and dig more holes.  To me this is work and if you have bad clay soil this is really hard work.  But if you follow my instructions of how to deal with clay soil, you will improve your clay soil over time.    (see tips and tricks)

Propagating with 5 Compots

When you have five portable compost bins you have far more choice on which one to use for propagating.   Plant the Compots in different places of light, shade, semi-shade etc.  If one spot doesn't work for one type of seed you are trying to propagate then try another spot.  You will have plenty of pots to choose which one to use for your next propagation experiment.

More About Direct Compost Solutions

When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.

Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn't suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden.
