We’re trying an experiment. not as it happens a terribly cheap one. We’re trying out something called Bokashi – it’s an urban, allegedly non-odorous rapid composting method. The main problem we faced is that while we have a place we can compost we have to keep the stuff to be composted for long periods. And during those periods it’d probably start to smell. Also we’re not deeply keen on the idea of encouraging wildlife onto our land for scraps of food.
Enter Bokashi. So we have two largish plastic bins and a small holding bin (because you’re meant to put in about 4-5 CM of fresh material at a time. Then you chuck over this activated bran mixture, squish it all down and, when the bin is full, seal it up for two weeks.
I’ll let you know. Because I’m sure you’re deeply concerned.
