Pickled Composting Flakes contain effective microbes (EM-1) that bokashi or ‘pickle’ food material.

These flakes will pickle any food item! Unlike traditional compost systems, bokashi can facilitate a safer and faster breakdown of all foods including cooked and raw meat, fish, bones, shells, dairy products, fruit and vegetable scraps - while introducing a diversity of microbes to enrich your soil.

Just scoop a small handful to the bottom of an airtight bucket, add your food scraps and then squash these down to remove air pockets. Then sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons to a 2-3 Litre layer of scraps to ramp up the pickling process!

You will discover the pickling process increases the acidity of your food while producing either no odour at all or a sweet vinegar or sauerkraut like smell; making it much more pleasant to keep adding to.

If used every day:

SMALL (75g) lasts approx. 1 month.

LARGE (190g) lasts approx. 2 months.

Materials

Homemade EM (effective microbes), coffee chaff, water, and organic molasses.

good bye waste disposal!

I'm thrilled to hardly use my waste disposal now and my husband is always on my case to get the compost in the garden for the spring summer vegetables!

Pickled Compost is the BEST

As gardeners and also caravan travellers, home composting is a daily ritual. However composting bones and cooked food has usually ended up in the rubbish, especially as there is always a lurking Labrador looking for snacks. So we have ventured into pickling our compost - one 20l bucket at home and a 10L in the caravan. So easy to use, we are sold on the product.

Simple & Effective Compost

Pickled is so easy to use. I love that you can put more than just fruit and vegetable scraps...think leftovers and even small amount meat. It was great while we didn't have proper compost bins, as we could just bury in the garden and feed the soil directly. Love that I can now have it on subscription.

Organic compost

Have just put my 1 st buckets of fermented veges into the black container and amazed at the amount of break down that is going on , love your ideas and also your tips as well .

Easy at-home composting

I had been trying and failing at composting my green waste for about a year and wanted to try bokashi before coming across Pickled. It’s so easy and I love being able to put all my food waste in the bucket rather than just fruit and vege. I was shocked when I emptied my first fully pickled bucket into my outdoor compost, it had broken down so well and didn’t smell bad by any means. I have a small compost bin placed directly in one of my garden beds and it’s doing wonders for the soil and surrounding flowers. Highly recommend trying it!
