Newsletter
We thank all our customers for your support and feedback over the last year. We appreciate it.
Green Frog Bokashi - In fitting with the environment and to make our product more recognizable, we have rebranded the EM Bokashi and Bokashi Buckets to carry the name “Green Frog”. Bokashi Composting Australia will still be the Distributor; the product is named “Green Frog”.
Retail Outlets - We now have over 40 retail outlets selling Green Frog Bokashi, we supply to every state in Australia and most major cities. Visit our website to see if there is a store near you, you may be able to save on the postage expense if buy direct from one of these stores.
Organic Farmers Markets (affects Sydney customers) - For the last 3 years we have had a stall at various Organic Food and Farmers Markets, most often the Orange Grove Leichardt and Frenchs Forest venues, and generally every fortnight, as noted on our Markets Page. We will no longer attend these markets regularly; however you can still get your Bokashi Mix and Buckets from both Orange Grove and Frenchs Forrest Markets. Baliz Woof Woof, Sydney’s Organic Pet Food supplier, is stocking the Green Frog Bokashi Mix and Buckets; they won’t hold a large number of buckets so you can pre order. Baliz Woof Woof attends these markets every 2nd and 4th weekend. Dates that they attend are on our Markets Page or you can contact them direct.
Like most stall holders they will be taking their annual holiday over the month of January so remember to pick up your Bokashi before then so as not to run out. Of course you can always order on line or over the telephone or visit one of our retail outlets.
$50.00 Rebate closes 17 December 2008 – (affects Queensland customers) - Queensland customers have been fortunate as their state government has provided a 50% rebate of up to $50 for certain gardening products including the Green Frog Bokashi Bucket. To be eligible for this rebate purchases must be made prior to 17 December 2008.
If you have purchased a Bokashi Bucket since 18 December 2006, and have not already done so don’t forget to apply for this rebate. Please contact us if you want an application form, or contact the Queensland Government Hotline on 1800 243 585 or down load application pack. Tell your friends and family to get in quick to essentially get the Green Frog Bokashi Bucket at half price.
Christmas Trading Hours
Our office will be closed from Saturday 20 December 2008 and reopen on Monday 5 January. However, internet orders will still be dispatched. Get your orders in early, to avoid possible seasonal delays in courier or postal services.
Remember, your bokashi bucket can stay at home fermenting while you travel. Just remember to drain the Bokashi Juice before you leave home, or bury the Bokashi Waste and take the Bokashi Bucket camping!
Customer Service - How is our customer service? If you have feedback, then we want to hear it. We are always striving to improve our service and the way orders are handled.
If you have a question about the Bokashi System, we are very happy to answer any questions send an email or telephone the office on 02 9591 1699, Monday to Friday.
We wish you a safe and happy festive season ahead and look forward to being of service in 2009.
Best Regards

Whats new in Bokashi World
Well, The bokashi bucket is getting more familiar over the last few years. People have actually heard of " that Japanese name". Consumers also realise they need ot stop chucking out food scraps into garbage. (much more valuable as a compost under our garden soil)
More and more stores. More and more enquires about how the system should actually work. Definately, we are keen for people to download the instructions and give it a go. Remember, you need the EM Bokashi Powder for the whole system to work effectively. Instructions . You could do with thew specially designed bucket too?? Australian Resellers
Have a look around the website, there is plenty of info. Great Christmas present and there are plenty of resellers in each state.
Green Frog Bokashi customers will be receiving the annual newsletter within the next days. Any questions, you can comment on here or email Green Frog Bokashi direct from image on top of page.

Food for the Future Fair Review - October 11th, 2008
We went to this after 10:00am on Saturday a couple of weeks ago. There was immediately a sense of great community involvement in the event and, I assume from the crowd many others came from outside the area on the day. Fresh food stalls and bakery featured, street planting, educative stalls, wine tasting.
There was entertainment on the stage, when we were there, there was the official opening, then a great little production from some of the local children.
There was raffles of produce and a gold coin donation got you a very nice program which talks about what is Food for the Future, local residents and what they are doing, some nice little recipes from www.missionbar.com.au and www.ontheside.com.au , a seasonality chart, article on fruit trees and much more.
If this event is on next year, I think we will definately trundle along again.

Grass Roots Magazine - Article
Australia's most popular self-sufficiency magazine. Great article on Bokashi Composting using the bucket system on page 32 of the Oct/Nov 2008 edition. Mary Horsfall (Editor and contributor) devotes a whole page to the Bokashi system.
Great magazine, it's not the first time I have seen the magazine, but it is the first time I have picked one up and bought one. Available at most magazine stores and newsagents. It's full of too many subjects to list. Think permaculture, saving money, water tanks, energy saving, the list goes on and on. Pick up a copy and have a read.
There doesn't appear to be a website, that I can see, but if you have an enquiry or want to subscribe, then here is the details.
