Urban Composting with Bokashi Part 1

EcoTools presents Urban Composting With Bokashi Part 1 - shows what to do when your kitchen composter is full.

The kitchen composter is a fermentation container that turns food scraps into valuable compost! Just add your food scraps, sprinkle with Bokashi, and seal tight. Since it ferments -- as opposed to decomposes -- there are no malodors, just a light fermentation smell. Harvest the tea after a few weeks and bury the fermented compost in the garden whn full. Your garden will thrive !!

You have no concept of what you are talking about. the compost is NOT rotted, it's fermented. Totally different science -there is no health hazard with bokashi as well as no vermin, flies, gnats or other critters.

To those who have a problem with this video, instead of all of the negative comments which are not helpful to those who really want to learn, why don't you create your own video and post a response. This lady has taken the time to share something with us and too many unwanted commentator are being annul with their comments. Use what works for you and if something is wrong prove your case why should we take your word for it?

[aaaarrrgggghh]

this woman has no clue of what she's talking about, but hey... good luck :)))

Well I have the same critter as everyone else, squirrels, raccoons, posums, feral cats, etc. Nothing bothers the compost, it has a tight fitting lid. BTW-my bokashi bucket drains straight on the ground where I want to plant.Laziness abounds here.BTW I'm wondering who the heck is drinking bokashi juice!!

@Eyezwide I dunno, those chipmunks will eat just about anything & dig to get to it. Speaking from experience here.

@Eyezwide I dunno, those chipmunks will eat just about anything that smells anything near good. Damned chipmunks.

actually he is right, if your ferment food improperly it can be toxic, hence the difference between alcohols, sure they will get you drunk, but some kill, and others get you drunk, we are organic beings and a slight imbalance throws our body into wack,

hi good morning, this is bob and vangie from the seattle area. have a look at some of my gardening videos and recycling , and one suggestion to you for your garden is. go to your local sporting good store. and buy a dozen worms. just drop them in your soil or in your compost container. god designed worms they are the perfect composter. thanks so much have a great garden.

Your video is very well put together and I'm passing it on to some " city farmers". The method you're using is very conducive to working folks as well as those who want to get started now. This introduction to the use of EM-1 is a great help. The Bokashi method is still new to me and very exciting. I just recently took a class in the making of Bokashi and your video helps reinforce some of the instructions. Good job!

Sue:

Have you considered simpler composting methods, such as the heap, bin or drum

turning methods?

They are less expensive, more natural and far safer.

Bokashi composting - if not done just right - will lead to a real health hazard.

Also, if you're buring partially decomposted (rotting) food scraps, I would suggest placing bricks over the dump-site in your garden plot - this will keep out any pests.
