Bokashi re-visited

Bokashi is an amazing way to speed up the "composting" of food. Two weeks ago I buried a bucket of bokashi into a shallow hole in the ground. The next bokashi bucket was due to be buried and so I had a look at the previously buried bokashi... completely converted into nutritious soil!
So if you have two buckets it looks very likely that you will be able to fill the bucket over a period of about two weeks, rest it for two weeks then bury it. In the meantime you will be filling the second bucket. By the time you need another bucket the first will have been emptied and be ready for use. And the soil will be converted already so that you can bury the next bucket in the same spot. You won't need to find an ever expanding area of land to bury your bokashi.
Brilliant!
(This is an update on a piece I wrote on Bokashi at the end of March.)
