Been reading about Bokashi to see if there is another option for diverting my other garbage out of the landfill. My worm factory is new and I can't put all my fruit and veg scraps in it yet. I also have other items that are less than ideal for an indoor worm bin but I'd still like to divert from landfill.
I just don't like the idea of constantly buying the Bokashi Bran. Yeah, I am somewhat a cheapskate, but I also can't buy into having a regular operating cost attached to my composting of garbage.
Would the micro-organisms from the leachate from my worm factory work in the same way as Bokashi Bran? If so I was thinking that a layer of newspaper soaked in leachate would work in place of the Bokashi Bran.
The comunity I live in is very proud of the water conservation theme they are promoting (we all have rain barrels) but at the same time we are not allowed to have compost bins in our yard. Kind of wierd to be gung ho for one environmental cause but against another if you ask me.
My family has a cabin that we use about every other weekend where I have 4 acres to bury "Bokashied" compost so if the leachate from my worm factory works in the same way it should only cost me a few bucks for some lidded 5 gallon pails from Home Depot.
Anyone hear of anyone using leachate,worm tea or vermicompost for this purpose?
