Trish Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Someone over on the INEBG forum just posted this link for cheaper Bokashi bins http://www.recyclenow.com/applications/dynamic/hc_specialist_bins.rm?id=12248&shopcode=WRD/034/C £25 for a start up set including two bins and a two month supply of bokashi bran. The bran on it's own is cheaper than I've seen it before as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ta muchly for that Trish, I get through loads of Bokashi between the chooks and the worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 oopps jsut double checked that and the bins are cheap but I think Wiggly wigglers is cheaper for the bran if you buy in bulk. Not sure about postage costs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I get my Bokashi from these people - I think it works out cheaper than wiggly wigglers. The chookie girls love it and it reduces the poo to next to nothing!! Fab! http://www.evengreener.com/Shop/Kitchen_Composting.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've read about bokashi - do you just add it to their food? If so, how much, and can you just use the sort sold for composting, or does it have to be a special type? Sorry, I'm a bit ignorant about all this, I've read about it on the Wiggly Wigglers site. I know from posts on here that some people put it in the poo tray as well. Do you still need garlic powder, or does it reduce smells too? All sounds too good to be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you...I think they have been worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Oly, I add a handful to a feeder each time I top it up. Johannes from Omlet told me that you can also use it in the run and poo tray to combat odour and acidity, but I've not found that I need it with the hemcore/aubiose. I also put some in the compost and wormery. Don't you just love the smell of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I give the girls bokashi mixed in with grain as a treat (about twice a week). When I remember I chuck a handful into the compost bin as well. It is great for reducing te volume of poo and also neutralising smells (although now I've discovered that hemcore is treated with citronella that has got to have something to do with it too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
