User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	About 6 months. You can clean the filters occasionally.
Question:	Does the black chip off
Answer:	No, I stuck the filter on the lid and never fell out. I like composting so much, and this bin is exactly what I expected.
Question:	Are the black and white versions the same size
Answer:	It’s just a collector to keep in your kitchen for scraps to take to an outdoor composter. But trust me, you want something like this in your kitchen. Otherwise you’re constantly running outside to the composter. This bin seals tight and includes carbon filters, so no smell and no bugs. I keep mine on the counter and empty it into the composter maybe twice a week.
Question:	The picture shows it comes with a square and a round filter. For replacements, can either shape be used
Answer:	The lid fits very snugly so there is no smell. I am very happy with this item.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it need to sit in sunlight
Answer:	It should sit in the sun. The heat from the sun helps break down the compost.
Question:	Does this have drainage
Answer:	It doesn't have true "drainage," but it is not air tight. When I add water from time to time, it does leak a bit.
Question:	would bears be able to get into this
Answer:	I would say yes. It's sturdy enough to handle the compost, but a decent sized bear would probably be able to break it apart.
Question:	How do you dump the compost out of the bin
Answer:	open the sliding door, put a tub under it and rotate until it begins to dump out

User questions & answers

Question:	can the plastic liner go in the dishwasher
Answer:	Yes, top rack. I am happy with the product.
Question:	Where can you get replacement filters
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. We do carry replacement filters for our bins. They are currently out of stock but should be arriving at Amazon very soon. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
Question:	My lid doesn’t fit, is it supposed to be loose or fit snug
Answer:	My lid is also VERY loose. It basically just sits on top of the container, without any kind of seal. The handle for the plastic insert bucket kind holds up the lid as well because it doesn't fit inside of the container when it's put down. Bugs would easily be able to get into this container.
Question:	Love this bin but my plastic liner cracked and I need to get a new one. I can’t seem to find one online. Can anyone point me in the right direction
Answer:	Greetings and thank you for your question. You can purchase the liners from this link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765B99BR. However we are currently out of stock. We anticipate a new shipment shortly.

Why We Love It

We could all use a little less gross and lot less waste. The Fresh Air compost collector lets oxygen move through your organic kitchen waste, slowing down decomposition. The result? A stink-free solution even the neat freak in you can get behind.

What It's Made Of

Recycled plastic, partially recycled steel

We know composting is a much safer practice for the environment, and that's why we've made this compost collector 100% safe for you. No toxic chemicals will be found in this BPA-free recycled plastic.

At The Core

Composting: It’s one helluva multitasker, acting as a natural fertilizer for better yields in your garden, loosening dense clay soils and helping sandy soils retain water without any nasty petroleum-based compounds. It also helps reduce waste in landfills across the country, which receive about 60 million tons of food scraps and yard trimmings every year. Thankfully, every little bit helps, and our Fresh Air bin makes it super easy to start.

Care Instructions

Dishwasher Safe: Your dishwasher can help give your Full Circle products a new lease on life. Just put all parts in the top rack for a quick refresher and a solid cleaning.

How We Started?

Four friends. A rational problem solver, a visionary designer, a confident connector and an eco-conscious leader with a single vision: to totally transform the way people think about the products they use every day. See, products shouldn’t just be functional...pretty to look at or...environmentally aware...they should be all three (and more).

Perfect Indoor Composter for the Eco-Minded

COMPOST ANYTHING INDOORS. Unlike other kitchen countertop compost bins, the All Seasons Indoor Composter is more than a container to collect food scraps: you can compost directly in our kitchen compost bucket using the microbial power of All Seasons Bokashi to ferment your food waste after every meal. It’s easy to recycle any kind of food—even small bones, meat, dairy, and paper.

NURTURE YOUR PLANT BABIES WITH EASY-TO-ACCESS COMPOST TEA. Compost tea is a powerful plant fertilizer, but making it outdoors is a messy, time-intensive process. Our compost bucket’s design features a built-in spigot that makes accessing nutrient-rich compost tea quick and easy. Simply drain, dilute, and use to nurture your house plants.

QUALITY MATERIALS AND PARTS. Our compost buckets and components are made with the highest quality, BPA-free plastic. And the black compost bin is made from 75% recycled soda bottles. We provide replacement parts to keep your bucket working for as long as possible.

Step 1

To get started, you will need the All Seasons Indoor Composting Kit. Place it under your sink, or a convenient location in your kitchen.

Step 2

Before you add food scraps, chop everything into small pieces. This allows for greater surface area for the microbes to feast on. You can add (small) bones, cheese, coffee grounds and meat as well as all fruits and vegetables. Add food scraps to the bucket, in layer (up to 3").

Step 3

Dust each layer with a generous handful of Bokashi. When putting in meat, bones, cheese, coffee grounds or other hard to compost materials, use more All Seasons Bokashi than

normal.

Step 4

Close lid tighly. Repeat steps 2 - 3 each time food scraps are added and All Seasons Indoor Composter is full.

Step 5

Drain the compost 'tea' every 2-3 days or as needed.Dilute the 'tea' (one Tbsp / gallon of water). Use immediately on indoor plants or outside in the garden.

Your Compost Bin is Full, Now What?

Dig-in Method. Transfer the material directly into your garden for complete break-down. Dig a trench or hole approximately 6"-12” deep. Mix the food scraps with soil as you add it to the trench. Cover the compost completely with soil to assure further decomposition and to prevent unwanted critters. Wait two weeks before planting to avoid root burn.

Container Planter Method. Transfer material directly into a planter or container. Fill 1/3 of container with potting soil. Add compost and lightly mix with soil. Finally, fill the remaining 1/3 of the container with potting soil. (Optional: cover with a plastic bag to maintain anaerobic conditions.) Wait two weeks before planting.

Outdoor Compost Bin. Add the food scraps from your All Seasons Indoor Composter directly into the compost pile in your backyard or community garden. Turn as normal and apply a heavy dose of All Seasons Bokashi, if needed.

Compost Pickup Program. Check for local organizations who offer compost pickup.

Product description

The All Seasons Indoor Composter kit is a unique, in-house system used to recycle kitchen scraps into an organic compost soil conditioner. The most effective method of fermenting is through anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation. This process prepares the scraps for burial in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without any unpleasant odors. This system ferments and pickles your food waste in less than half the time of conventional composting methods without odors. The All Seasons Indoor Composter includes two unique features, the strainer and spigot, allowing the moisture released by the scraps of food waste to be drained out to prevent spoilage. This liquid can be used as a fertilizer for household plants (1:100 dilutions) or to clean your kitchen and bathroom drains (undiluted). The air-tight lid, which ensures anaerobic fermentation, must be pressed down firmly after each use. The lid is made of high quality plastic that is also flexible and may not lie flat. This warping will not affect the efficacy of the air tight lid. The All Seasons Indoor Composter kit can be easily implemented in an indoor environment making it useful for apartment, school, household, restaurant, business or wilderness use. Each composting kit comes with complete instructions and a bag of All Seasons Bokashi. The All Seasons Indoor Composter, used in conjunction with All Seasons Bokashi, provides the ideal conditions to activate anaerobic fermentation that accelerates the composting process, while eliminating odors and deterring pests.

• EASILY LOWER YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. Recycling would-be food waste into compost is a clear action you can take for a healthier planet. With both a 5-gallon compost container and Bokashi compost starter, our simple kit is ready-to-use and all you need to start composting in your kitchen or even on your countertop: no assembly required.
• KICKSTART COMPOSTING. Unlike other kitchen countertop compost bins, the All Seasons Indoor Composter is more than a food scrap container: start the composting process immediately using the microbial power of All Seasons Bokashi to ferment your food waste after every meal, before transferring to your outdoor compost bin, garden soil, or curbside pick-up.
• LOW ODOR INDOOR COMPOST BIN. This all-in-one Bokashi composting kit uses beneficial microbes to ferment your food waste without stinky putrefaction or flies. Our compost bucket’s kitchen-friendly design features a lid that locks tightly for easy, airtight fermentation. The compost bucket is made from high-quality, recycled plastic that won’t weaken during the decomposing process or leach harmful chemicals into your compost.
• REDUCE YOUR TRIPS TO THE OUTDOOR COMPOSTER. Trudging out to your outdoor compost bin after every meal in the dead of winter isn’t fun—plus decomposition slows down naturally outside in freezing cold weather so there’s no guarantee you’ll have compost ready for spring planting. By fermenting your food scraps inside using our compost container, you stay warm, save time and energy, and speed up your composting process. It truly makes it easy to compost.
• NURTURE YOUR PLANT BABIES WITH EASY-TO-ACCESS COMPOST TEA. Compost tea is a powerful plant fertilizer, but making it outdoors is a messy, time-intensive process. Our compost bin’s design features a built-in spigot that makes accessing nutrient-rich compost tea quick and easy. Simply drain, dilute, and use to nurture your house plants. Plus bokashi composting loses fewer nutrients than traditional composting methods, making both your compost and compost tea an even richer source of garden gold.

User questions & answers

Question:	how much bokashi is included
Answer:	It included two bags, and we use it very sparingly and I'm still in the first amazing. AMAZING flower growth when used with 1 TBS. Bokashi team to one gallon of water.
Question:	Anyone have a recipe for the mix
Answer:	Type "How to Make Bokashi" in a youtube search. "Podchef" Neil Foley has a good demonstration.
Question:	can i put worms in it
Answer:	I have worms in my compost barrel but I never put worms in my K100 bucket since the food only stays in there 30 days then I transfer to my compost barrel and it really gets hot in there and worms do not like it too hot- will kill them but hey, I never tried it.
Question:	Is burying the compost in a yard to fully decompose really necessary? We do not have a yard. I was going to give it away or sprinkle it on some common green areas by our apartment
Answer:	I have done 3 buckets of comt using SCD probiotics K100 and all I got was mold. I reverting back to using my compost barrel...no mold in there and breaks down better. I really do not think the probiotics breaks down the meat/cheese so I am no longer using them and trust me I set up my system by the book. waste of money
