Has anyone come across Bokashi which is suposedly very good for food waste
and limits smells. And its suposed to be quick.

I did find a site about it http://www.livingsoil.co.uk/ but then real
peoples experiences tend to be more useful I find.

A caution: it's all very well to think "ooooh, a Japanese
non-smelly composting method", but don't forget that climate
plays a role -- and the hot, wet, near-tropical Japanese summer
is a far cry from cloudy England. To say nothing of the question,
what kind of food wastes are being composted?

Some people object to the food that I am cooking for myself on the
grounds that it is too smelly! Bombay duck - lovely, let's have
a panful - and I had some wonderful small squid in Spain that had
been sun-dried (fermenting the while) and were then deep-fried :-)

Also: I find that whenever some maven starts touting this or that
wonderful ethnic food, composting method, interior decoration
style, take your pick it turns out to be, if you will excuse the
expression, a crock of shit. Usually the hoopla over these things
proves to be nothing but a journalistic gimmick to sell more
magazines or books.

So go into this with your eyes open and your b.s. detectors set
to "highly sensitive".

No need. Set it to "low" and it will still go off ....
