Thank you, Owen Wilson!

"That's when you may get an unpleasant smell that, you may never want to smell again in your life." 😂😂😂😂😂 10min of tears

Another option to add, if you're finding it hard to dispose of the matter in the winter time, is to buy a very large container (like a dustbin) and tip half a bag of compost into it, then add the bokashi mix, then top with the remainder of the compost bag. Leave for 2 weeks before you turn it to use it. Alternatively, if you get a very big bin (on wheels?) you can keep doing this through the winter time, and you'll find you have the most perfect nutritious compost for use, come the Spring/Summer.

Why would someone give this interesting video a thumbs down ?

Im in Australia and just bought my bokashi bucket (i bought 2) and this video expalined so well what to do and how to do it, I thought it was more complicated than that but is super easy to use the bokashi composting buckets. Thanks for the amazing video!

I've been making bokashi for just a few months. Didn't think I wasted much cooked food. The results are just amazing.

Nice Job briannnnn !!

Your enthusiastic presentation is very informative, solving some pending questions in my part. From Mexico, I thank you, Owen!

You don't need to buy expensive bokashi mixes and buckets! You are just doing fermentative instead of putrefactive composting your food. People have done this for centuries to preserve foods like cabbage, pickles, eggs, you name it. The only difference is you add a second fungal saprobe step to make soil. To start, you just need an anaerobic environment and acidophilus bacteria. Sprinkle a capsule of acidophilus probiotic from a healthfood store into a single 5 gallon bucket with a Gamma Seal lid, add food (meats, etc. are okay), and screw on the lid. You can add more food from a smaller kitchen bucket every day. If it smells like vinegar when you open the lid, it's working. A single bucket allows fluid buildup that surrounds the food and increases the bacterial breakdown- you don't need to drain it away. Whenever you add more food and seal the bucket just roll it on its side a few times to redistribute the acidophilus rich fluids. When you've filled the bucket, leave it closed for 2 weeks, then bury just under a patch of healthy soil for a month or more. Try to leave some fluid in the bottom of the bucket to innoculate the next batch. Meanwhile, fungus in the soil will permeate the predigested food scraps and complete the transformation into good compost. If you don't have good soil with saprobic fungi, fill a bucket from a healthy forest and sprinkle a little of this soil on top of the fermented food each time you bury it. You can later dig up the compost or leave it and let the nearby plants benefit. Bokashi became a money making scheme that retarded its introduction but it is really very simple and you don't need to buy anything to make it work.

Thank you for this video. I only recently heard of Bokashi and I'm very interested in it. I have been researching the different styles of buckets and how to use each. Thank you for also showing what to do with your completed Bokashi, especially for the winter months. Our ground will freeze solid for a good 4 to 8 weeks some years, and because of the slope of our yard, I can't reach my compost pile if there is snow and ice on the ground. But, I think, with some planning, we do have one area, that if I plan ahead and save some leaves from fall in bags and dig a trench a head of time, it may work. Have a great today! Catherine

This is a great video thank you so much for all the straight forward info

Thank you, never heard of it before now, and it is very informative, again, thank you so much

I've just moved from hot composting to bokashi. So far it's much easier and clean for me and the amount I need to compost.

Yeah! I dug it into my tunnel house! The rats loved it warmth in winter, and food! Not doing that again! My bokashi is going into my tumbler composter!

from Italy thank you

Cool energy . Thanks

amazing - cheers for the explaination, great intro to bokashi -

it says you can put teabags in, but MANY teabags actually contain plastic used to seal the bag. Please know this and think of switching to a bag free version using a tea diffuser or a bag specifically designed without plastic. I have a question about the liquids (milk, oil?): can you instead put those into HOT compost system?

well done! nice intro &gr8 information

what if the vomit smell appears ... Yuk ! is it good , should i throw it in the compost pile

Thanks for emphasizing the frequent removal of the liquid (Leachate.) Yup, I learned this the hard way!

How about dumping the bucket into worm farm for further processing? Meats, oils and such are generally not suitable for indoor vermicomposting (smell), but does this fermenting beforehand prevent that?

Just throw your compost directly on top of your garden and have a few cats for the mice/rat problem. 🤣 Heck, you could even just bury the stuff daily in a much smaller hole, also makes you be outside for some fresh air once a day.

Instead of burying or adding to compost, would it be suitable to dump it in the chicken pen as supplemental feed?

Wow you seem to have many of the photosynthesizing bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas palustris) in that cause the red color gives them away..

The method uses lactic acid bacteria, why would you need to worry about adding milk. Offical Bokashi bins have a tap to drain fluid.

From India thank yo

Nukazuke pickles is also good.

I misread this and thought it said "How to bukake your food waste". Man am I glad I was wrong.

How about the tropical climate where we face rain at any unexpected time? If we dump the bokashi stuff into soil pit for composting, will it rot due to the rainwater?

Can I just apply the already broken down bokashi soil mix onto the existing earth bed? like spreading a layer of fertiliser

How do you keep burrowing animals, roaches and other pets away from the compost trenches/ bay?

Can you put this in a worm bin after it’s been processed

Pleaze MORE

Can bokashi bran be multiplied to other quantities?

Googling price the inoculator price doesn't make this economical. 15 dollars for a 2.2 lb bag?

Hi, is it more environmentally friendly to not bury the compost scraps? CO2 vs methane emissions?

How to make bokashi mix at home, to start the bokashi process?

Has anyone used food scraps stored in freezer for this method?

3:09 Ben_Elms.exe stopped working

Sir can i put chicken &ather non veg

Traduccion español por favor

how much is the compost zing ? can you make it yourself ? doesnt look very broken down/composted ? still have egg shells not broken

My Bokashi tea smells pretty bad, it's that correct, or should it not smell?

Everyone else says at least 2 weeks

Food waste is overwhelming.. A housewife's worst.. Task

I want to get one of these bins but they cost so much :(

ur cool plant doo

Too much work. Waste of time. I stick to my own composting system. Lazy system similar to Fukushima method.
