Bokashi

Bokashi means fermented organic matter, this is a Japanese composting system. I know nothing about Bokashi so it was interesting to learn another way to compost than what I had grown up learning, kitchen scraps and lawn clippings and more recently, leaf mold. I like the idea that this is relatively odour free because if you are composting in an urban area you want to be conscientious of your neighbors. I also like that all kitchen waste can be reused including meat, this has always upset me, that somethings still have to be thrown out.The only real downside that I could see is that even after it is done it isn't, it still needs to be aged in soil before it can be used. You need a Bokashi bucket too start but this doesn't really upset me because you need a compost bin to compost. A strange part is that you need Bokashi mix, this is mostly wheat bran. I want to know how this aid composting. This seems like a good alternative to compost, but it also seems like a little more work, and I'm not quite sure how it works.
