Wormeries vs. Bokashi

[Fab Foodie]

Dears

Me and @Hill Wimp (Tom and Barbara) need an organic waste/composting solution for our home. The output would be used as feed and compost for our veg growing.

Pros and Cons of each?
Anybody any experience/use one?

Cheers
FF

Miss Goodbody is becoming fond of Bokashi. At least I think that's what she said. She's invited the Male Voice Choir round tomorrow to show her how it's done properly

Our council were pushing compost bins so we got one and its now full of worms. It's great. The compost goes on our veg patches. We must have composted a butternut squash as without planting anything we grew a random one this year!

Wormary work well.
You need tiger worms ideally.
Google tiger worms as you often need to Buy mail order.
Have fun

Wormery juice goes a long way - diluted.
I'd not have one too close to the back door though.
Bit smelly.
Used to have one on my allotment.
Best ever liquid feed though was comfrey tea.
Comfrey leaves in a barrel and keep topping up with more leaves and more water.
That really stinks.

I don't think there is ever any risk of that.

Yeah, I keep sieving the seeds out (we have to sieve our compost anyway to break it up because it's very dark and solid here - it wasn't quite like that in Somerset, so I don't know if local conditions effect it or what) and putting them through for another go but I fear they might be indestructable!

.. and the benefits of colonic irrigation.

It's a more direct route of getting the quinoa out?

I've know idea what a bokashi is??
But I assumed it' a bi product of a stag weekend in Prague?

As for quinoa...that turned me into a balloon

People who know about things like Bokashi fall into the category of ponces.......you tend to find them eating off slabs of slate or planks of wood.

Yebbut that's just because they're drunk on gin and can't get up...

Blackwall? I've never noticed them being made in the tunnel...

Go for bokashi. Only for my own selfish observation as you progress. I think you can compost cooked food with this method too.

I have a 3 ton New Zealand system when at max capacity. Can bake potatoes in bin 1. Current compost in bin 2. Blinkin’ hens have set up an egg factory in bin 3. Club sandwich anyone?
