mixing the inoculant for bokashi bran
We at Urban Farm School love compost. Backyard bins, sheet mulching, from the chicken coop, worm bins, and bokashi; it doesn’t matter we love it all. Saturday we got to share our love of compost with community members during our bokashi composting workshop. A great group of willing hands, inquisitive questions, and a new group of bokashi composters were born. We are happy and proud to be able to further close the loop in the common kitchen, keeping food scraps out of our wastestream and into the garden where it adds nutrients, heals soils, and saves money. We hope you can join us at our next bokashi workshop to learn about the wonderful world of fermentation composting for those hard to deal with kitchen scraps like bones, meat, oils, grease, and dairy.
As our friend Erin Johnson tagged the phrase on Saturday, “it’s been bokashified!” We hope you get bokashified sometime soon too!

This looks very interesting. Can you only do it with the hard-to-compost scraps or will anything organic work? I’ll try to catch your next class!
You can use anything organic! Bokashi is fun and interesting. Kind of like a science experiment in your kitchen. Keep checking our schedule-if we get enough interest we will do one in the fall.
I am interested in this form of composting. My wife and I recently started worm composting, and this would be a great way to get rid of the things they can’t eat.
Thomas,
Bokashi is a great way to compost those “hard to compost” items. We will be holding another Bokashi workshop in the fall. Please, sign up for our mailing list so we can notify you when the class is scheduled.
Thanks for visiting Urban Farm School!
