Thanks for spotting that Sciencebox2010.

Richard says that treating old tea bags used to be frowned upon, simply because it was thought that they would soak up too much liquid, but that the current thinking is that it's ok to pop them in. Progress... isn't it wonderful.

Its interesting what you say about tea bags I've just got a bokashi bin and it says no thank you to tea bags, I assumed it was because the tannin in the tea was toxic to the microbes, is that not the case?

Nothing wrong with Tea Bags, or Coffee Grinds. Dairy, Flowers, cooked and raw chicken (not whole carcasses, chop it up.

If you have high protein ingredients that you are adding, then add extra EM Bokashi powder.

Remember, rotted, or slimy food scraps are not going to produce a good end product. Best to "Bokashi the waste" while it is still in fresh optimal cond.
