I have share a little garden update success. I’ve been doing bokashi composting (rapid composting) for a little while now and developed a routine that I thought I would share.
Bokashi is a method of composting that is basically fermenting kitchen waste with a mixture called EM-1 and then burying it in the ground to finish the composting cycle in about 28 days. It can vary of course according to the weather – in winter it takes longer than in the Summer but it’s safe to say when digging the soil back up after 28 days most of the kitchen material will be gone and you’ll have rich black fluffy soil in its place. (read an article about bokashi here).
The advice is to dig a trench in the backyard and bury it at least 8 inches deep after it has fermented. The deeper the better and given I have birds and thick heavy clay soil I opted for another way of doing it.
