I am pumped about my new project! Today I am starting my Bokashi Compost, and I decided that blogging would be a great way for me to plot my progress.
My composting woes have been going on for years. Living in the high, and dry climate of Colorado means slow decomposition, at best. Traditional compost piles in Colorado need to be watered, either by rain or by hand. It also takes heat, and with a growing season of a few months, heat is not readily available. I have also done worm composting, but that has had it's downsides as well.
The other day, I found an article on Bokashi Composting, and have decided to give it a try. The concept is simple, and the science really gets me going. Food scraps, including meats, dairy, and fat, are fermented with micro-organisms, and then are buried for their final breakdown. It should take 4 weeks for the complete compost, but I suspect that it will take longer in Colorado. Let's do this experiment together and find out.
