I remember the Lomi bin being all over my dash when Darren Criss and Mia Swier got one. I wondered if it would be a smaller substitute for my worm bin, which is fairly easy to maintain but the size of a kitchen trash can (about 30 gallons), I had lots of questions about it because I couldn't understand how anything could produce usable compost in less than one day.

I have finally found a helpful article that explains the pros and cons of it. One of the cons? It doesn't actually produce compost. Basically, it combines the function of two other kitchen appliances by pulverizing (food processor or very powerful blender) and dehydrating (dehydrator or oven) your food. The finished product canNOT be used the exact same way that you would use compost, because it has not matured into a soil-like substance the way that mature compost has.

I thought that maybe it could be used to speed up composting with a worm bin, by breaking down and shrinking the food for the worms first before giving it to them. But I don't think it would be worth it for that, because if you add water to it, it expands back to its previous volume. And the rehydration aspect also means it's not ideal as a soil substitute in house plants because it can have the same issues with rotting smells, etc., as before you spent electricity on dehydrating it.

In a newer product photo on the Lomi website, I also saw that the bin is quite a bit larger than I thought, not really what I would consider "countertop" size as Lomi advertises. It looks about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of my worm bin, and about the size of a starter worm bin or the permanent worm bin of someone who doesn't do a lot of cooking or eat lots of bananas (or other fruits and vegetables that come with their own "packaging").

So I will be sticking with my worm bin.

Though now I am looking into bokashi to see if that would be another composting method appropriate for my situation ...

OK, so

I have started doing bokashi composting to handle food waste from the restaurant I work at. In my first week I collected 20kg over 4 days! This form of composting starts with fermentation, using bacteria that's typically stored in a bran format. That stuff gets pricey fast! So I am making my own effective bacteria mix.

The first stage was fermenting rice water. Second stage is adding that water to milk and making it separate. This is where we are now. The time has come to filter the curds from the whey and take the whey to the next stage by adding brown sugar or molasses. I have treacle so I'm gonna use that.

The curd can be formed into cheese! So that's another thing to do today.

The big Bokashi test.

In the past, I used the Maze brand Bokashi EM1 solution to innoculate batches of my own mix so that I could make the solution last much much longer through the magic of molasses. I’ve written about how to do it. As a matter of fact, we have a whole bunch of information on Bokashi here on our Bokashi page. The 3 brews Unfortunately, the Maze brand is no longer avilable locally so I switched to…

Finally started making bokashi at home. It's such an ingenious thing - I can cut down greatly on any land-ravaging peat soil I buy for the garden and can instead use my own household food scraps to make soil. Brilliant.

Nothing like adventures in composting cat litter to end a Saturday night.

#Bokashi #a third-of-a-mile / half km driveway inspires #new ways of not having used cat litter in my car #because now we also lack trash service #which is fine #we are already well practiced at #waste reduction #so a safer way of composting cat waste using anarobic fermentation sounded like a great solution #but oh the learning curve #a personal anecdote of my own

Bokashi composting: A great way to compost in an apartment

If you live in an apartment, you may think that you can’t compost. However, this is not the case! Bokashi composting is a great way to compost in an apartment, even if you don’t have a lot of space. Bokashi composting is a fermentation process that uses a special bran to break down food waste. The bran contains beneficial bacteria that ferment the food waste, preventing it from rotting and…

Bokashi soil maker - the results.

Reecently I posted about an experiment in using finished Bokashi compost to boost cheap potting mix. It’s been a couple of weeks longer than I originally planned before checking it but, you know me… No excessive odour – the potting mix, not the gardener!. From the mixed bucket. From the layered bucket. This experiment was the first in a series and this one was mostly to see if the finished…

What is Bokashi Composting?

Bokashi is an anaerobic process that uses EM (effective microorganisms) to ferment food scraps and turn them into ready-to-use garden fertilizer. The EM helps break down the kitchen wastes and prevents them from rotting and stinking. Bokashi differs from traditional composting in that it is a fermentation process and not a decomposition process. The beauty of Bokashi is that it can be done right in your kitchen and doesn’t require a big pile of yard scraps in a compost bin outdoors.

How bokashi composting works

The traditional composting process requires air, water, moisture, and regular stirring to speed decomposition (along with help from aerobic bacteria). In contrast, the Bokashi process only uses “bokashi bran” and an anaerobic (without oxygen) environment to ferment materials. Bokashi bran is developed from EM and rice or wheat bran mix. When added to food scraps, the fermentation creates a liquid fertilizer and pre-compost materials in just 2-4 weeks.

The Bokashi process is pretty simple: Mix bokashi bran with layers of food scraps and store it in an airtight bokashi bin for around 14 days. Every other day, drain off the leachate, aka “bokashi tea“, from the bokashi bucket to use as liquid fertilizer. By the end of 2 weeks, you’ll have a “pre-compost” fermented mixture that can be used as fertilizer for your garden or added to the compost pile to speed decomposition.

Materials needed for bokashi composting

Bokashi composting only requires a few materials and you can make it right in your kitchen.
