No mention of bokashi buckets in this article, so I wonder if they are not available in the USA. I bought one about two years ago. It is a very solid bucket with a tight fitting lid. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Any waste, including meat products can be added to this bin. Then a handful of special grains is thrown over the top. After a few weeks the whole bucketful is ready to dig into the garden. By this time all the meat, etc will have broken down enough to not cause rodent interest. It has very little smell, too, regardlless what is placed in the bucket.
The bucket must not be cleaned out with anything to destroy the bacteria present. It took about six months for these bacteria to build up sufficiently to work, but eventually it worked brilliantly.
Once I have a bucketful ready, I add it to containers, top with soil, leave a while then plant. Works a treat.
