I love composting and have done alot of research on bokashi but not yet started; good reason to use bokashi is that you can compost not only meat; dairy; bones; but ALSO animal (dog & cat) waste (you just would never use that compost on vegetables that are intended for consumption)....you are correct bokashi really needs to be a BIGGER level!! Hope to see more large scale use of bokashi!!
Bokashi is a anaerobic fermentation process. I use it to break down vegetable scraps faster than normal composting and after processing I add to my compost pile. I discard the juice due to concentrations of salt in the liquid.
Tindall, fabulous talk. I compost in a pile in our yard, and with worms, with great success. I have only recently found out about Bokashi composting and I have been researching about it to see if it is something that I can do successfully as well. I enjoyed listening to you speak about this subject and the passion you have for this subject. Don't ever lose that passion. I am sure your talk has touched more than just me, keep speaking! Have a great today. Catherine
I own a composting business in Florida, and it's not true that you cannot compost meat or dairy aerobically. For backyard composters I wouldn't suggest including meat and dairy because people usually don't turn their piles frequently enough to give it proper oxygen to speed the decomposition. On the other hand, a commercial composting facility or Aerated Static Pile (ASP) has no issue turning that meat, dairy, fish, etc into finished compost.
It was a good speech, thank you. I stared my bin three days ago with the ingredients bought online. Then I read about making the inoculant with rice wash and wheat bran. I found wheat germ in the grocery store. Can wheat germ be used for the home made bokashi as well?
Can anyone tell me the name of the Japanese city Tindall mentions in the video? the city that provides Bokashi bins to its residents, Koni it sounds like? I would like to do some research on the city's Bokashi system

Well-spoken from heart... one could feel her passion

You do you and I will do me.
What an inspiration.
If you like Bokashi composting you may also like Korean Natural Farming.
YAY I'm going to buy a bucket and start! :D
Amazing talk! Thank you so much!!!
This is wonderful and makes a great workshop. What is the recipe to make at home?
@Tindall_Ouverson thank you for this speech and your courage I’m going to start my Bokashi today.
It was a good speech, thank you. I stared my bin three days ago with the ingredients bought online. Then I read about making the inoculant with rice wash and wheat bran. I found wheat germ in the grocery store. Can wheat germ be used for the home made bokashi as well?
You can even use newspaper. Wheat germ is too valuable. I got 50 lbs of bran at feed store for $15
You can make a liquid you spray, you dont even need to add a medium.
Do the US not do kerbside food collection which they make compost and biogas from? Most councils do it in the UK
Could you share the recipe for making ones own bokashi? I have the ingredients from your talk, but not the quantities.
waoo bokashi is really a big solution ........................
Do you have the recipe for Bokashi?
She also gives the basic ingredients
i just bought 2 x 23L bokashi bins after my compost bins failed, are smelly and watery...still trying to salvage it and the poor worms!
Can anyone tell me the name of the Japanese city Tindall mentions in the video? the city that provides Bokashi bins to its residents, Koni it sounds like? I would like to do some research on the city's Bokashi system
okinawa? Dr. Higa
You can make Bokashi with sourdough starter instead of buying the bran!
How do you use sourdough starter instead of the bran? Can you please tell me the method?
Gillenz Fluff how??? If you have a chance to share the process please do :)
You look beautiful young lady , and I do mean lady. Great talk. I love my bokashi. Sherie Rodrigues. PS. Thanks for getting bokashi out to the masses.
Why not reduce the amount that is bought and reduce waste
I don't usually buy an excess of potato peels or dog poop; They kinda just come with. Personally, I'd much rather create rich soil than a landfill.
She barely speaks about Bokashi. What is this?!?
is bokashi bran vegan?
I would imagine it is not a meat based product.
Wheat is a type of grass. Grass is a type of plant. Wheat bran is the outer husk of the wheat seed. Wheat bran is not an animal product. 🤦🏼♀️
@Mog X isn't bacteria vegan?
Yes, it is vegan.
