Bokashi BinI have been doing a fair bit of research recently about the best way to reduce my kitchen waste. As you know I have looked at wormeries but have come to the conclusion that they are not for me.This I think maybe the way forward for this household. Because once pickled this can either be dug in the ground or put on the compost. Has anyone ever had/used/knows of them?? |

No - never heard of them - but have got Bokashi to feed to my chickens | ||

Not heard of them. To be honest all our waste goes either on compost heaps or in the dogs, chickens, or cats. | ||

well not being the best compost maker in the world, I thought this would help as I have no cats or chickens. I've ordered some so will let you know how I get on

I've had it about 3 weeks now and I'm surprised how long its taking me to fill
you get two, once one is filled you leave it to satnd for 2 weeks then either add it to the compost or dig a trench in the veg bed and bury it! 
I chose this as I can add cooked foods to it, this is the contents with the bokashi bran sprinkled on top. It is air tight and has to ne pressed down with a squasher thing. It does not go mouldy like it used to in this 
and every couple of days I drain off the liquid and either pour it down the drains, to clean them or use it to feed the plants!! |

Very neat I have to say, my bin gets filled up till it's spilling out onto the kitchen floor, then someone goes and empties it on the compost heap! | ||
