Ignore the bucket add, this describes the Bokashi system.  Basically you add an EMs bran (don't ask, I don't know either) to a sealed bin with kitchen waste in layers.  The waste 'pickles' and after 21 ish days you can bury it in your garden or in a compost bin and it rots down really quickly.  I don't put veg peel etc in only the cooked and meat waste and they can then go in the garden too, meaning even less in the wheely bin.  I also made my own buckets rather than pay £30 or more for one.

It's Bokashi bran, available from lots of sites.  Shop around for good deals.  If your local authority do compost bins they may have it.  Mine comes from either Wiggly Wigglers (?)  or Organics (?)  Having a blank moment, colds do that to me but Google Bokashi and you will probably find more than you ever wanted to know.

Almost any lidded bucket can be used but it must be airtight.  The resulting 'pickle' does not rot down in the bucket but when dug into the ground or buried in the compost bin it rots really quickly.  Some people don't like the smell but it just smell yeasty, a bit like wine must, to me anyway.  The 'tea wiffs a bit but nettle or comfrey tea does too!
