Bokashi / Wormery

[broadway]

Hello Folks,

I've a wormery with no worms at present. Could I use it as a Bokashi bin instead and top it up weekly?

as long as it has a sump and tap, I don't see why not!

No, a bokashi bin needs to be air tight so that you get the right reaction - a wormery isn't so it'll stink and go off.

Alison is right, I didn't realise wormerys weren't air tight!

Why not get some worms to colonise the bin? 10 minutes in someones old compost heap will get you loads.

Digger,

That's what I'm going to do now.

As an aside the the compost go from the bokashi to the wormery?

I put my bokashi in the compost bin (although I've also burried some in a bean trench recently) as I wouldn't want to put that volume in the wormery in one go.
