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.

thanks in advance

They are not doing anything a properly run wormerie or compost bin is

doing

The bacteria are in these naturally .......add urine to a compost heap
.......mix its contents every 3 months and by the end of the year you will
have brilliant compost .......leave it another year and you will have fine
potting compost ........its all down to worms working



This is the problem. I don't have the physical strength to turn compost. So
I have a wormery for food waste but sometimes I have too much for that or
lots of one thing like orange skins. I was thinking more of a dump it and it
will be compost kinda way of doing it. The info on composting like that is
very vague.
