Composting if you don't have a garden
It may look like a handful of sand, but - like a Transformer - there's more here than meets the eye. This is actually a yummy pile of bacteria, yeast and fungi dubbed 'Effective Micro-organisms' (Ems) and they're being heralded as the future of composting. Or, at the very least, the start of indoor composting if you don't have a garden. The big sell on Ems is that they speed things up and stop dodgy smells emanating from under your kitchen sink. Wiggly Wigglers, which is selling the Ems as part of its 'Bokashi' range, recommends you buy a pair of 19 litre composting bins to match. The bins plus 3kg of the Ems will set you back a steepish £120.

The Bokashi system is all well and good if you have a working garden/allotment, but otherwise is not a viable option. What happens in the small bin under the sink is only the start of the process, afterwards the contents of the bin have to be dug into the soil, left for a while, and then that ground can be used. So it's great if you have a working vegetable patch, large beds, etc., but for the average urbanite it's not really a runner.
