A Faster Way to Compost

We are doing this in conjunction with our worm bin.

Why Bokashi?

  • It is versatile.  You can compost all of your kitchen wastes including dairy, meat, and  baked goods.  Why throw any of that away?
  • No strong putrid odors.
  • No insects or rodents.
  • No nutrients are lost.  Everything is contained within the system.
  • Minimal greenhouse gases are produced.
  • The bokashi process is compact.  No need for a yard or large compost piles.
  • No turning necessary.
  • No need to worry about green to brown ratios.
  • The scraps are inoculated with beneficial microorganisms.
  • Works great in conjunction with vermiculture.
  • It is easy.  Even a child could do it.
  • Great for school projects.
http://bokashicomposting.com/ to read more, watch the video on how it is done, and see the kit you can buy or make yourself. We simply added bokashi bran to our worm bin, but I thought I'd give you a url where you could learn about the process and buy a kit.
