Greetings everyone. I have something to share with you. So the last coupe of months I've been really heavy onto bokashi composting and now i have almost 0 waste come trash day;) it's really cool to have discovered such awesome techniques for gardening....well anyways when the day came to dump my bokashi fermentation, my lady would not stop talking about how funky the house smelled hahaha so i did what was best and took it outside to complete the process. Well after a few days i decided to throw in some leafs and straw i had laying around to help with the aeration. About 2 days later i came back to turn my mix and found what i thought was maggots so i looked it up and discovered it was BSFL! Still a little creeped out i keep reading. They are VERY beneficial to any gardener large or small. I found out it was the sour smells of my bokashi that brought the boys to yard haha. These little guys will compost your waste 3x if not more than earth worms can! Oh plus the add the bokashi and my gawwd! Super compost. I have some bokashi compost completed now and it smelled so earthy and looked so good, i had to bring it inside. I threw a massive load of diatamaceous earth inside and in about 2 days i had no more critters running around inside the bin. I will be running an experiment soon where i test one bean planted in just bokashi and perlite. I will keep you guys updated...much love.
 
Here's a pic of my finished compost

Thanks eyes! Yeah this bokashi compost is the business..i used to sweat bullet on how i was gonna get rid of my plant waste but not anymore! I also got some comfrey and nettles growing outdoors in fabric pots doing a great job so far. A lil note....im in a zone 10 climate and i had to work like hell to keep bocking 14 comfrey from drought ...They are much happier now. I also dry the leaves and eat the flour hahaha yum and nutritious. Oh we should start a thread on the Moringa tree.
 
I just ordered some comfrey yesterday to start growing
Awesome bro. You're gonna love it! It grows so freaking fast. I topdress my comfrey plants with bokashi compost and feed urine and water at a 50/50 mix once a week...thing's a beast! I'll post some pics tomorrow because its getting dark out.
