Bokashi composting advice

Post: # 152777Post Eco Girl »

I've filled up my first bin and moving onto the second. I have no outdoor compost bin as my garden is so miniture and so hoping to just bury the contents after the prescribed 2 weeks of anaerobic baking in my tiny veg plot. No idea what is happening at the bottom of the container but the top seems to be rotting with white fluffy mould. Does anyone think I have a chance of this working?

Absolutely. Make sure you run off all the liquid that builds up and save that in something - you can use that to feed your plants.

After the allotted time, as long as it still has that weird fizzy/lemony smell and doesn't just smell bad, you can dig a trench in your garden, put the contents of the bin in it and plant on top.

Marvelous stuff :lol:
