Title: Bokashi
Post by: MattyJC on November 02, 2006, 20:37:43
Hi there,

I'm looking at investing in one of these Bokashi kits, just wondering if anyone has/are using it, and is it any good, seems a bit too good to be true, which always worries me!

Thanks in advance

Matt  ;D

Please enlighten us Matty, several views but no comments... probably as confused as me but too shy to ask!

I have no personal experience of it but from what I've read it works OK. Don't know what you mean by "a bit too good to be true". A little expensive maybe

Hi, hope this helps! -  Bokashi is "a blend of natural bran, molasses and EM (Effective Micro-organisms)"
From reading about it, you put your normally uncompostable stuff from he kitchen like dairy, meat, fish left overs into a mini compost bin and sprinkle a couple of hand fulls of the Bokashi on top. After a couple of days its safe to compost normally in your heap or dig straight into the ground.
I thought it sounded too good to be true as it claims no smells etc!
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of it. Wiggly Wigglers do them, though I have found Blackwall do them for £35.
Regards

Matt
