Bokashi Compost

Bokashi solves my previous issue with the bad smells associated with compost. I have never heard of this and its seems pretty cool. Bokashi is anaerobic fermentation process that uses a special Bokashi mix which consist of wheat bran, molasses and effective microorganisms to break up organic matter. The liquid that seeps from the compost or "compost tea" can be used as a fertilizer for plants. I also read that this "tea" can be used to treat fungal aliments on the human body but I defiantly would not drink it. Bokashi seems pretty good but it takes a bit more effort then normal compost and the material is more "fermented" then rotted. It also can be used to eliminate bad oders elsewhere in the home.  The Bokashi compost must be kept airtight and requires a few weeks to properly ferment.
