  • A Short film about making Bokashi--a fermented wheat bran--used to pickle kitchen food waste to help it compost quicker without foul odors. You can purchase ready-made Bokashi from wigglywigglers.co.uk

    Bokashi bran is made with 1:1:40 . 60ml of EM1 (not activated) with 60 ml of melasse and 2,5 liter of water +1 tablespoon of salt no refine for 10 lbs of wheat bran. T° = 100° F.

      Just to clarify: This is not the same recipe as reffered to in the video.
      In the video the ratio is 1:1:100 = 30ml EM, 30ml Sugar molasses, 3L water, 10lbs of wheat bran.

    I keep hearing about how compost smells. Obviously, if it smells, you are not burying scraps. My compost bin never smells because the scraps are buried. I save up scraps till I have a couple pounds that I first freeze, then bury them into the center of the compost pile. It never smells or attracts rodents...and I live by a wooded area where wildlife is very prevalent.

    Hi. I made some Bokashi a couple of weeks ago using ratios similar to yours. I read somewhere that it's ready when there's a layer of white mycelium on the surface. So far, it hasn't appeared. Is this feature essential in order for Bokashi to be "ready"? Also, you don't mention a drying step. Is it essential?

    yes you would use activated EM not em-1. However, you would not use it directly on the soil(I mean you could but it would get expensive). You would instead use the activated EM as the EM solution which Podchef adds to the water along with the molasses, which he then adds to the bran and allows to ferment.

      @tonibartling3844 Před 8 lety +2

      +Cheeto Fingers I researched that myself. When you try to compost weeds roots and seeds in regular composting it will grow back, but from what I found is that fermenting will make sure that doesnt happen. They even say to kill off poison ivy just put finished bokashi straight on it and cover with black plastic. For this reason you have to let bokashi "finish" in dirt before you plant. And spraying just the diluted EM liquid on all your regular compost and covering it will also help break it down and introduce good microbes etc. Hope that helps, this is such a learning curve and hard to keep up with new info!

So many options 😂

    This conclusion hardly supports your claim that EM or Bokashi is bullshit. All you can claim is that EM didn't work under those climate conditions in Central Europe. Might work elsewhere just fine or simply be too soon to tell without further science debunking it
