Bokashi
Compost Guy talks about bokashi -- how to do it and how to make it. Can't wait! I'm getting my buckets now!

Extra bokashi bran to use with your bokashi composting kit or around the house. Bokashi bran can be added to litter boxes to help control the odor. Bokashi can be mixed into traditional compost piles to help inoculate the pile. It can also be added to potting soil or mixed into the soil with transplants to help with the decomposition of organic matter and to inoculate the area with beneficial microorganisms, both of which help with plant growth.How to Use:
Sprinkle a small handful of bran over each 2″ layer of scraps and press the layers down to ensure contact and to remove airspace. Harder to break down items such as corn cobs, avocado skins, meat, and cheese will require more bran. Green mold is bad, white mold is good. If you are seeing green mold then you need to add more bran. Foul odors are also and indication that proper fermentation isn’t taking place. If you smell foul odors then you need to add more bran. Proper fermentation should have a sweet, vinegar like smell. At 70 degrees complete fermentation takes about 14 days. Cooler temperatures will require more time to properly ferment.
Ingredients: Wheat Bran, Filtered Water, Blackstrap Molasses, Azomite, Sea Salt, EM
