This is very clearly explained. Thanks so much! Finally found composting I feel I can do.

Oddly satisfying. Thanks for posting.

Wow! I’m absolutely thrilled with this great idea!!! Thank you very much for sharing.

nice good to learn a way to seed the soil

This is the best video that I found about Bokashi compost! Thank you very much for your explanation. I will follow you from now on. Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷

This was so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great video, ordered some for myself.

I’ve never heard of this. Thanks for the video. I started a worm bin and just started a hot compost pile to make top dressing for my garden.

This is my first time doing bokashi composting and your video helps a lot! Thank you ❤

O really love this video, I always though it was difficult. Your family is an inspiration for mine! Thank you. I will buy all the system right now

Thank you!

i loved that your video showed the bokashi method from beginning till the end :) Thank you!

best video I found about the bokashi system. thanks

Heads up. The best info video on the subject of Bokashi on KZfaq in my books. I have been using this system for over 18 months now. Blessings from Australia ❤️

Thank you very much!!👍🥰

Great video. I compost my kitchen scraps but have not heard about the Bokashi system. Thanks for posting. I am a San Fiego gardener as well ! 😀

great info

This is really interesting, it looks like a great way to compost. 😊

Hello, thank you so much for such a great video! This is the best one about bokashi that I've ever watched. Literally from A to Z, it is the perfect initiation for newbies!

Love your video so much.

Awesome video! Very simple to understand! :D

Really nice

Thank you for this video! Composting isn't just a "TWO for one," it's like a SEVEN for one! 1) Reducing food waste means reducing methane production, which food gives off when it rots anaerobically in trash bags or buried under heaps of other trash. Methane warms the planet 33 times faster than CO2!!!! 2) Compost adds nutrients to the ground which allows more plants to be grown which means more clean oxygen 3) More plants means more habitats for bees and other endangered species 4) More plants means more carbon sequestration! 5) Adding nutrients to the soil means food crops have more minerals (aka, more nutritious food)! This has the potential to reduce/eliminate modern diseases caused by lack of proper nutrition IF the fresh food is much more widely and equitably distributed. 6) Healthier soil retains more water, reducing the need for farms and garden to use water from aquifers (less wasted water)! 7) Healthy soil absorbs more water during heavy rainfall, reducing floods! 8... ? I think there's also a way healthy soil reduces the risk of wildfires?!

I look forward to starting bokashi composting. I have 4 rain barrels that I use to water the garden, and I'm wondering if I could add the bokashi juice to the barrels to kill may possible algae or pathogens. I often find racoon feces in the gutters. Also, my soil pH is usually on the high end. I'd like to lower that a bit. BTW, I grew up in Ramona, and love that town.

Soper brother

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I bought my bokashi bin today and this video really helped.

6:43 I love this part

Great video! We just emptied our first Bokashi bin into the garden so I'll check to see how the soil is doing in a couple of weeks. We've really noticed less waste in our bin at home. Thanks - subscribed!

Great video

Awesome video! I was thinking to get the worms but now really tempted to get this instead 🤔❤

amazing video

Hey mate great video! I think you could get away with using less bran than that, probably half the amount or less😊

Looks like I'll be getting one of these. Might use plant pots for step 2 just chucking soil on top with a bit mixed in.. Then I don't need to dig up and can spread it after probably a month wherever I like.. Should work out in theory right? 😅

Spray some EM1 to the compost layer and when you dump it and it’ll be broke down much quicker. EM1 is the secret sauce..

ive just buried my bokashi pile today and im curious what would it look like after 2 weeks. I hope i get the same result! im a little excited 🤓

Nice vid! Do you have a video on how veggies taste when grown on bokashi soil?

What kind of PH soil thermometer is that? Could you please add a link to where you got it? And would you recommend this one or another one? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the info! Very informative video. Do you know if you can add the bokashi into a hot compost tumbler instead of burying it in the soil?

i have a worm bin. I just emptied it and it was smelly and wet so had to add more leaves, dry material and layer again. I think I may try Bokashi since I want to make our veg patch bigger

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I was wondering if there would be a difference in the amount of time required in the bucket as well as in the soil for the waste to turn into compost if I were doing it now that we are heading into winter?

Thank you for your video!! It will really help us reduce wastes. Questions please? Will there be any food that shouldn’t be used? Also which part of the process smells the worst?

Thank you for such a descriptive video I know this video is older and you might not see my comment, but this video is super helpful. I have one question though. I live in an apartment and still want to do bokashi, instead of putting food in my yard can I put it in a bucket on my balcony with soil to finish the process. Would that still work. Again thanks for the video

Hi I would love to know if you can do the composting bit in a bin or something with plenty of soil?? If living in an apartment and there is no real garden...

Thanks for this great video. One important question though will the red wigglers or any Earthworms takeover the half/fully fermented compost?

Hi. I only have a small garden and have been growing for the last few years in containers. Any ideas what I can do for the second stage as I don’t have ground to dig into. Thank you

hmmm...I've seen so many articles boasting this as a composting option for apartment dwellers but what are you supposed to do with it during the second step if you don't have a yard? Bury it on the side of the road?

Do I have to take out the composted soil and to place the same in earthen or plastic pots in my roof top garden ?

I into container gardening only. Can put the Bokashi into a bucket or container (with the soil of course)?

in 3:22 how does bokashi juice helps in fighting pest or bugs?

If I had somewhere to bury foodscraps, I'd just bury it without the extra 2 weeks of draining and maintaining.

Quick question! Since I live in a household with only 2 people, we don't really produce that much food waste but I usually throw out my food scraps every other day so that it won't get gross and stinky. Should I wait until I have enough scraps to fill a SOLID layer or is it okay to add any amount as long as I press it down and cover it with bran?? :o (And thank you for the video! I live in Japan and recently learned about this and was so curious! It seems so convenient!)

How do we proceed in winter when the ground is frozen and the two weeks of sitting in the Bokashi container have passed?

Thanks I loved this video. Have you tried directly burying your scraps? I tried this and it composts the same way in 2-3 weeks as you showed. I don't know if there is a real difference in doing the bokashi first! I'm interested in trying out the bokashi but am confused as there are mixed reviews!

What do you think of using the bokashi compost for amending clay soil? I'm just 1 person so my food waste is minimal but in season my garden waste is huge. So. Would I need to keep purchasing the bokashi flakes or could some of the 1st container material ve saved to "innoculare" a new bucket? Thank you for a very informative video.

Nice video! How soon can we start planting crops on top after burying the bokashi?

Thank you for the informative video. Can the contents of the bokashi bin go into an AeroBin - ie a traditional aerated composting bin - instead of burying it. We found the native animals dug it up when we buried it.

Hello good Sir,can bran be replaced?I have no idea where to get it. Much blessings all the way from Belize

Hi, I am new to composting. I started with bokashi composting. Unfortunately, I close the lid of the wheat bran that I was using for composting. I see white fungus growing on it now. Can I still use the bran for composting?

If I blenderized my veggie scraps would i still have to wait 2 weeks for the process

Can you just put it in composting tumbler?

Thanks. I was hoping to understand how meat broke down using this system. It looks like after three weeks of burying in the soil, much of the organic matter broke down. Was there meat in buried in as well? Would meat break down after 3 weeks of being buried? Did you have to protect the soil to keep rodents and such out? Thanks for the great video!

Was there something in the bran?

Do I need some grid against moles to use this method? I'm a little worried that food scraps allure moles.

I want to do hugelkultur which produces fungal dominant soil biology. Dr Elaine Ingham says fungal dominant soil biology would be great for berries, blueberries, strawberries and for pasture forage. How about adding bokashi at the bottom of a long trench? Then adding a little soil and then my ground up trees branches and logs and leaves with soil, worm castings and compost on top. Then I can plant my blueberry bushes and strawberry transplants. Do you think bokashi could add something to hugelkultur?

Hello sir, can i use your video for my bokashi composting project ? Your video is really easy to understand and so informative. Looking forward for your reply !!

6:44 You can't "smell a little bit of the nitrogen," nitrogen is odourless.

How can you incorporate this into a No till system?

I buy bags. But I don't use nearly as much. Top and bottom mainly, and only a sprinkle or two. I'm too frugal to be using half a bag per bin. Still works. The microbes only really need something to help kickstart the process

Ive live in an apartment and am trying to do the 2nd half of the process by layering my bokashi with soil in a covered container on my balcony. Do you think that would work?

Where should you store the bucket? House,shed or garden?

Can i use dry brken up heather

Does the water smell? Same goes with the scrap you put into the garden at the end?

Free only if you don't count the cost of the special bucket and bokashi bran. Great video though.

Can Bokashi be used to anockulate bio-char ?

what is that brand made off? i try to find it in indonesia

How do you make your own bran? I don't have access to it

Do/will pests attack the buried scraps?

Does the fermented food have to be buried or, if you don't have any animals like raccoons or deer, could you top dress with it instead?

From start to finish, how long did that take?

Hello, I want to know if there are ants, snail or different kinds of worms in the soil after I put in the compose?

If I don't have an area to bury my compost, can I put it in a container full of dirt?

Is it true that you can't throw molded waste to bokashi? Or do you need just more bokashi groats to compost it?

Does the compost give any odour?

Please Indonesian subtitle 🙏

Can u use anything elseother thah bran

I've been doing bokashi composting a while now and that seems like an excessive amount of bran to my eyes. Any reason you're using this much?

I'd like to eat that

Do you need to use specific Bokashi bran? Or can you just take bran from a feed store and spread it on top of your scraps?

my problem with this is cost it cost 30 pounds for 2kg of bokashi, were any fermentation is just yeast and sugars so wouldn't this work with just sugar as most plants have yeast on them so the formation would start if you just added sugars

I have no bokashi and throw everything instantly in the soil, with exact the same results.. in three weeks it is done. You can also put the soil in a wooden crate, that way its easier to divide it afterwards..

How can I use it on my balcony?

I put anything in my compost. It all breaks down over time. If you're making 21 day compost maybe not. But that's not much better than mulch.

Do worms develop inside the compost bin?

I assume rodents and other wild animals don't dig up this when you first put it in the ground? That's my biggest concern about composting in general.

omg!! i was doing it wrong! i bought this system and they never said to put the lid with holes in it in the bottom of the bin 😱😱😱 thank you so much for this video. also, is it ok to put toilet paper and coffee filter paper in the bokashi bin?

You use a lot of bran, meaning your cost can get pretty high for that. I have been doing bokashi composting for about 16 months now, quite successfully, but I probably use half the amount of bran that you use.

Could you use shredded cardboard instead of bran? (Bran costs $$, cardboard is free)

QUESTION: Can this be mixed into a compost bin instead of the soil? Our native soil cannot be dug AT ALL. It is DENSE clay and rock. I’d need a pick axe.

No way will I bury my bokashi again! I buried mine in my glasshouse and the rats loved it - food and warmth. I’m going to put my next bokashi in a tumbler composting bin!

WHat is the point of bokashi if you have to bury it.. I was hoping I could do it indoors, as I am groing weed and I do not want my neighbours knowing
