Simple SustainabilityBokashi: Not Your Father’’s Compost

Posted by Dave on Monday, 9 Mar 2009

I found this very interesting article on CleanTechica.com about a different, faster way to make compost. It’s called Bokashi, relies upon fermentation, and produces usable compost in a matter of days.

The other difference is that it is anaerobic, relying upon the lack of oxygen to do it’s job. Which in turn means no odor. Making bokashi compost is simple. You need a couple of big containers with tight-fitting lids (to keep the oxygen out), some kitchen scraps, and bokashi mix. The mix contains wheat bran, molasses, and EM’s – the efficient microorganisms that drive the process.

Here is a link to a supplier of Bokashi kits and a sully of the mix.
