Bokashi Composting

About 6 months ago I discovered EM- Efficient Microbes.  Commonly called Bokashi Composting.  It is an easy way to use table scraps for composting without the hassle of odor or fruit flies. Time from food scraps to compost, ready to go in my garden soil,is only a month!

My garden is growing wonderfully!  I was able to build raised beds in just 4 months of intense composting.  Working at a health food store for 4 months helped; I brought huge bags of lettuce home about once a week, along with other kitchen scraps, mixed with potting soil from Ace Hardware, Bone Meal, red worm casings and lots of moisture.  I started composting in July, by October I was planting.  I am now eating sweet potatoes, red potatoes, beet greens garlic, flowering kale from my backyard.  The peppers didn’t survive the cold snaps (I am in Jacksonville, FL)
