I've recently purchased a composting "kit"--it's great, fits under my kitchen sink, and the compost has a lovely fermenting smell (as opposed to the rotten vegetable smell I've yielded in the past). My problem is that the kit instructions advise me to purchase Bokashi mix, writing that it's this unique mix that assigns my compost its not-unpleasant odor and good-quality breakdown. However, I hate to buy this stuff if it's not really necessary. I've heard that I can simply add soil and molasses to my scraps and they'll ferment (not rot) as well as if I were to purchase the wheat bran, molasses, and EM mix in bokashi. Anyone know anything about this? Advice, please...
