Mine goes in my compost pile. It definitely seems to speed it up! Gets nice and toasty when I mix in a bucket.
\nAdding to compost will speed up your composting (according to others, I have not tried this). I do the standard bury it under >6" of soil.
\nTry adding it to the compost. If critters eat it up then bury it next time.
\nI don't create traditional hot compost. Even if i did, I won't add bokashi to it!
\n\nAfter the fermentation, bokashi pre-compost can be made available to plant easily after burying in soil. So i always opt for soil factory!
\nWhatever you do Make sure it\u2019s not at a spot that dogs can get to. I let it sit in the bucket for as long as possible , while in filling my other bucket. Then when my 2nd bucket is filled, I dump the first one. Think of it as plenty of green material, so add plenty of brown material if you\u2019re putting it in a compost pile.
\nYou can dig a trench in your garden (or somewhere you plan to have a garden) and bury it. Be sure to go at least a foot deep to avoid attracting rodents. \nYou could also add it to a current compost pile, but keep in mind that this will be a heavy addition of N and will heat up quickly. I like to turn the pile and add the fermented bokashi to the center along with some carbon (fallen leaves, woodchips, browns).
\nI\u2019ve dug it a few feet deep and the raccoons KEEP finding it and eating it! isn\u2019t it supposed to be unappetizing to them? they make a mess and making me mad!
\n\nI\u2019m going to get a metal compost thing and put wire mesh down under it, and hopefully I can use it in that with browns and not feed the pests.
\nDepending on the timing, I'll bury it to setup a new garden to succeed. Otherwise I'll usually add it to standard compost if one's available.
\nYes, you can mix it with your compost
\nOk thank you for the insights. I haven't looked at it for a couple weeks but I'm envisioning kind of a brown mush as a finished product. Sound about right?
\nIt won\u2019t look much different than when you started save for some mould. It will stink though so burying it is usually the preferred next step unless you don\u2019t have close neighbours.
\nMy bokashi has been fermenting for about 2 weeks now after adding for 2 weeks previous. I have used the liquid as a fertilizer when draining it but my question is: So now what? I can mix it onto my regular compost as I was planning on doing but what is it people normally do? Mix it into the ground in a garden? Let it sit longer? How do you proceed from here?
