The document outlines a team's testing procedure for turning waste food and probiotics into organic fertilizer using a blender and juicer. The process involves grinding and incubating the materials for 24 hours, then separating and pressing the products into solid and liquid fertilizer. Customers found the fertilizer pleasant smelling and easy to use, expressing interest in a home system to process organic waste, leading the team to develop a device based on these principles.

Our team testing procedure and customer experience are outlined below:
Materials and equipment for testing:
- Waste foods - Probiotics - The blender - The juicer
Testing steps:
- Grind and mix waste food with probiotics
- Primary incubation of 24 hours - Separation and pressing the products - Solid parts and organic fertilizer liquid
Testing outcome:
- During the incubation process, there is no unpleasant odor.
- Due to the grinding and separation of the product, the incubation period is cut in half. - After 5 days, the product can be stored in different containers without causing any unpleasure odors.. - Since the product has been separated into two components: solid part and liquid, it is very simple to use. - To get a realistic experience with customers, the team had given organic fertilizer solid components and organic fertilizer liquid to families in residential regions to utilize. Customers appear to be quite pleased with this practical product; according to the feedback. Many of them have also expressed their interest in a system that could utilize organic waste into organic fertilizer at home, similar to the one that our team is working on it. - With the positive outcomes that our group has implemented and acquired. The team has chosen to develop a device based on the Bokashi composting principle that could turn organic waste into organic fertilizer with extra functions such as grinding, mixing, and product separation. Those are the elements that the traditional organic Bokashi method and other devices on the market are missing, which shorten the composting process period and make it more convenient for customers to use it.
