Does your council subsidise Bokashi bins? 6 Replies
If not, why not? Christchurch and the Queenstown Lakes District Council do. Which other councils subsidise bokashi bins and activator?

Think I've found the culprit - a blackbird. It's going to town on the bokashi area. Ripping up seedlings in it's hunt for the good stuff underneath. Might have to get that bird net early than I planned.

Oh dear *shudders*. I was hoping it was just excessive earth worm activity. But now you've got me thinking rats.

hello Ursula, I find that if I don't bury my bokashi deep enough, the local wild life will disinter it - dogs, possums and have even seen birds scratching away.... Guess the smell attracts them.

Hi - I buried my first load of Bokashi recently and wanted to check if anyone else had the same experience and could give me an explanation for what happened!
I dug the hole, buried it and covered it in earth. Only earth was showing. Within a couple of days the surface of the earth was showing the bokashi mix. Vaguely interesting.
A week later I planted my pea seedlings in this area. I came out in the morning to find a number of them out of the soil, tipped on their sides. The other seedlings (in the non-bokashi area) were unaffected.
Can anyone tell me exactly what is going on here? I'm really intrigued!
Thanks
Ursula

I have a friend drop off around 10 paint buckets. I donot know how clean it is. My bokashi bucket is a DIY from paint buckets. So anyone wanting to experiment a DIY please feel free to ask.

Just treat your soil the same way as you do with outside soil.
You may need to add some water to soil if dry .
