Lesley Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yes it is - we bought it but have never put it in the ground I'll see if I can contact the Company - it is still in its box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Have just bought the twin pack of Bokashi bins from the www.recyclenow.com website. My only gripe is that I can't specify a different delivery address so will probably have to arrange to collect them from the carrier as there's no one in during the day Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 They came on Thursday and they left them with a neighbour Am going to try and get the first one going this weekend. The bran's a bit potent though - we've had to put it outside!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 My Bokashi bins arrived yesterday and one is already in use. I quite like the smell of the bran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I've stopped butting the bokashi juice down the drain, what I don't use for fertilizer I bung in the compst heap with the rest, seems fine. Ta for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 My Bokashi bin has been filled and it has been left for the suggested two weeks. I know you can put the contents into a compost bin, but the food still looks too much like food and I don't want to encourage rats into my garden. I'm unsure what to do What does everyone else do with their Bokashi bin food waste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I dig a trench and bury it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Couldn't decide where to dig a trench in the garden. Most of the borders are full of plants and bulbs and I didn't fancy liftting some of the lawn, digging a hole and then laying back the lawn In the end I put it all into our green cone. It was quite interesting as I got to the bottom of the bokashi bin to see what meals I had cooked nearly 3 months previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just started with my bokashi bin yesterday. Interested to know too whether people are putting the pickley stuff straight into the compost. I've been putting citrus fruits into my compost bin for ages but am aware that you're not supposed to - can I put them into the bokashi bin instead even though that'll end up in the compost too?

Egluntyne Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Sometimes I bury it, sometimes I put it on the compost heap. Depends on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Do you put bokashi bran in your chicken's feed? The omlet shop says to mix it in at 5% and also to sprinkle it on tray under the roosting bars. I've assumed that this then activates the compost heap when the poo tray is emptied onto it.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, I put it in the feed and the poo tray. Can't remember why for the poo tray but your explanation sounds sensible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It helps keep he smell down a bit when put in the poo tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
