Keep it out of the dump.
Feed your garden.

A simple home system that turns your kitchen scraps and garden leaves into food for your soil, instead of sending them to the dump.

For Knysna homes with a garden. Your domestic worker and gardener run it with simple pamphlets.

This is being tested at home in Knysna. A small pilot is planned for February 2027. It only goes ahead if the home test passes the check at the end of January.

The problem

Kitchen scraps and garden waste usually go to the dump. With Nutribin, they stay at home and feed your garden.

How it works

  1. Illustration of a light kitchen scrap caddy with the Nutribin logo on the front.
    Illustration. Daily scraps in, lid on.

    Kitchen scrap caddy (we call it the Nibble)

    A 6 L lidded caddy on the counter for daily scraps.

  2. Illustration of a blue clamp-lid fermenting drum with a solid white Nutribin logo on the front.
    Illustration. Bran + scraps in, lid on.

    Sealed fermenting drum (the Pickle)

    A 30 L blue drum with a clamp lid. Tip in scraps, sprinkle bran, and close it. After two weeks the scraps are pickled and ready. The pack has two drums, so one can ferment while the other is being filled.

  3. Cutaway illustration of a buried soil-feeding bin, mostly below ground, with mesh, an air gap, and a solid white Nutribin logo on the lid.
    Illustration. Pickled scraps in, feeds the soil.

    Buried soil-feeding bin (the Feast)

    An 85 L bin buried in a garden bed, rat-proofed with mesh. The pickled scraps go in and feed the soil and roots around it.

Bokashi bran is wheat bran with helpful microbes that help the scraps ferment instead of rotting.

The air-gap parts are mesh and fittings that keep rats out and let air in.
