Bokashi vs Composting

Reduce landfill waste by recycling all of your food scraps including those not allowed in composting with a Bokashi Cyclette. Landfills are toxic, foul smelling, bad for the planet. They release tons of carbon dioxide and methane gas into the atmosphere and heat up the planet and it is costing you a lot. Pollution is killing our atmosphere and our soil. Its better and faster then composting and far less toxic. Use our Bokashi system to restore the nutrients (nitrogen, and other essential components) to soil and make plants grow at an accelerated rate. Our Bokashi Cyclette System is simple to use. We provide 2 efficient anaerobic fermenters to use in your kitchen with a starter supply of Bokashi culture mix. Your scraps become valuable nutrients for your plants.

how can you say that composting is not a natural process?? please check your information before you share them. btw, if you don't want to produce CO2 then stop breathing.

@gotmegud

Many people get very emotional about this issue but does not change the fact that composting is a man-made process that simply does not occur naturally in nature. By piling up, oxidizing, and continuously turning a pile with the proper mix of C:N it is possible to decompose organic matter. Find one example except for man where this occurs naturally. Anaerobic fermentation in the lake bottoms, under wet leaves, etc. is the norm.

Turning the compostpile only makes the compost ready faster. When you have enough brown stuff for gas exchange in your pile you don't need to turn it. People need to understand that this guy wants to sell microbes to people who don't need them...

@mmuchnick I disagree completely. The turning and fine-tuning of compost piles are man-made additions, but composting itself is a very natural process. If one does not turn a compost pile, it essentially undergoes the same degradation and decomposition processes that one would find on a forest floor.

Bokashi seems like an interesting composting method, and it's clear we should be trying to reduce the CO2 we add to the air, but this advertisement makes both of those views look crazy. The natural decomposition of plants typically involves aerobic reactions and the release of CO2, and this is nothing to worry about.

@mmuchnick This is based on a narrow definition of composting - only hot composting. A large pile of leaves can achieve hot composting by itself and in time what was not hot composted (the outsides) will also decompose into a compost.

I am interested in the claims of no gas emissions and this method has me intrigued, though the claim about compost being unnatural made me cringe a bit.

Say this Crocodiles they ust compost to breed their eggs in it

Thats not entirely true. Many natural elements emit c02 yes,and decaying organic matter is one one them. but plants do not, plants absorb c02 and emit o2. This is how oxygen can to be on our planet hundreds of millions of years ago. The air was muuuch more made of c02 and planets began to absorb that and emit o2.

@gotmegud my favorite fermentation involves producing lots of ethanol and especially lots of co² (º_º ) simply yeast and sugar.... guess that has been occuring since fungi were created....

[Blinkation]

this guy just want to sell you he's product, half of what he say is just not true...

composting happens in nature all the time just a lot slower and produce the exact same amount of co2..

bokashi is cool, but way too much high maintenance for something that supposed to be simple.

and it has no nutrient advantage over compost.

@mmuchnick

I compost by putting everything compostable on a pile. I don't turn or anything and after a year I put it where I need it. Also, I just throw foodscraps in between my plants. If you wat to call that 'Bokashi; that is fine
