Our most popular tips on using bokashi in the kitchen
Drain your scraps before they land in the Bokashi bin!
One of biggest frustrations people have with their Bokashi bin, it seems, is that now and then it smells. Not just a bit, but really, really off. Not good for goodwill in the family or recruiting friends and neighbors to the cause. Mostly, people try to solve the problem by tossing in more bran. Gradually…
