Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can I put the bones from my chicken stock into the bokashi bin? I'm sure it said on a website that you could but have any of you done it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yes you can. We did it in our last 'batch' and when I tipped it into the normal composter, the bones were difficult to make out Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yet another bokashi question, Rob . How much bran do you put on the food? Do you cover it completely so you can't see any of the food? I'm getting through a lot of bran doing it that way. And, do you wash out your bin when you empty it out? Sorry it's such a trivial question but it hardly seems worth washing it when you're filling it up with leftovers again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 We sprinkle bran over the whole surface of the food but not enough to cover it completely. Basically, when you look at it, you can still see through the bran to the food. I should think you will be getting through a lot of bran if you cover the surface completely Yes, we do wash the bin out. The main reason being that once the contents have been disturbed and emptied out then the bin stinks to high heaven Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks once again! Good - I shall start using less bran! I emptied my first bin today and it didn't actually smell too bad - just very pickly. It had been left for well over 2 weeks though. I did wash it out 'cos it looked a bit yucky .
