Bokashi composting

Not much going on outdoors, except for more bulbs coming up. My compost bins outdoors are still mostly frozen, so I'm quite overloaded with food scraps. Even the worm bin indoors is full.

I've decided to look into Bokashi composting, another indoor composting system. It seems to have the added benefit of not being susceptible to the stupid fruit flies that have gotten into my worm bin.

If you're interested in learning more, these websites are great:
BokashiCycle
City Farmer

I had a hard time finding a good place to buy from, but I eventually settled on this place as the closest possible place (Missouri):

You can also order from Arkansas:

Hi Pam,
I've just discovered your blog, looks great, with lots of resources. I'm going to add it to my blogroll. I garden at home and also at the Minton Stable Garden, a community garden in Jamaica Plain. The address is http://mydirtblog.blogspot.com/
I look forward to reading more. Good luck with the composting.
Sally
