Summary
Today, we're bringing you an episode of the podcast that originally went out in 2022. It's about fermenting, but fermenting with a twist – fermenting your kitchen waste to make microbe-rich compost that, as we know from personal experience, will transform the plants you grow. This fermentation process, called bokashi, can be done in the house, it has no smell and neither does it attract flies. You'll get both compost and compost tea to use inside and outside the home. In this episode, we'll detail how bokashi works, talk about the bacterial inoculant that is used to ferment the food waste so efficiently, and then we will actually interview the US and Canada supplier that makes the two-bucket system that we both use.
