  I suppose you could, although some whey strained out from your yogurt might be a better option! The dairy solids could react in a strange way with the fermentation process. That said, give it a try and see what happens!

  I've wondered about the grass clippings thing. I use fresh meadow clippings for mulch but make sure not to put it on too thick. for the very reason you mentioned. Too much nitrogen all at once. WRT the cucumbers, my guess is the hardening off process. The exposure to sunlight needs to be gradual. Not just the exposure to outside. Well, from your failures, you find out why something shouldn't be done. If you just follow the rules and it always works out, you'll never know why!

  My father never owned a coop or bought feed, he just kept wild chickens, So I've never built a coop. I'm a very good builder, but that doesn't mean I'm a good coop builder, Chicken farmers may not have my building capabilities, but can build a way better coop than me, it won't look as nice at my poor attempt at a coop, but the chicken farmers coop will function better, mine will look great, but it will stink, there coop won't look as nice but won't smell at all, that my friend is experience building a functional coop...I did a year of research before I built my coop, I learned all the tricks and designs from the best coop builders before building, I watched over 100 coop build videos from amateurs to professionals, then I built exactly what I wanted.

  @@GrowingwiththeGriffins surely though, you can figure out how to make a compost pile steam at the right temperature. It's a widely-known process that's just a matter of some experimentation. If it works for you, it will work for everybody everywhere, because everybody has similar carbon, nitrogen, and water to work with. There's no magic to it. Pro compost companies can make it work every time even with a wide variety of source material. An example of a great video lesson with a beginning, middle, and satisfying conclusion is by the channel Alex, who figured out how to make good potato chips recently.

  We’re definitely not experts either! We’re students of JADAM - in Youngsang Cho’s book he insists that anaerobic (without oxygen) fermentation is perfectly fine because of its prevalence in nature. He also says that aerobic fermentation (inclusion of oxygen) aids in the destruction of nutrients…so not ideal for homemade fertilizers. We have not personally had any issues with anaerobically fermented fertilizers. But, again, we are certainly not experts in the matter-just doing what we have seen work!

And fermented compost not decomposed. He would make cheeses a lot. I alway saw him using a turkey baster to get liquid from the whey. I figured it was good food or something lol it was the labs. Me used barley , rice peas basically all grains. He made the labs for our chicken ad pigeons with their corn and grain mix. He was ahead of his time. I tell him know it’s call LNF and JADAM. He laughs and say yeah it’s called experience. lol. It the vigor and health of your garden will amaze u almost over night.

  I have a more in depth question about this system. I'm scared to compost because compost is dangerous for dogs. If I could use this bin system in an area they can't get to, it's a possibility. Once it is done in two weeks(ish), does that mean I can throw it on blueberries, etc. that are already grown and 2. it's safe for animals that may dig and consume it? I assume it's just like dirt at that point but could still harbor something that may be harmful? Dogs like the grossest stuff and don't know better! Last question- is dog hair compostable in general?

• 
  @GrowingwiththeGriffins8 ай бұрын

  Hey @teresamitchell771! Great questions-we don’t have any experience with dogs specifically. However, everything we’ve read about Bokashi says that wild animals are not attracted to it (perhaps because it’s fermented and sour?). We’ve never had animals get into our compost, Bokashi or otherwise. Once you’ve let the food waste ferment in the bin for two weeks you need to bury it in your garden beds so that none of it is exposed. You can put the fermented food scraps in the soil around your blueberries so long as you don’t disturb the roots of the plants. OR you can compost it in a pile like the one we show and then use that compost to top dress the soil around your blueberry plants. Hope that helps!

• 
  @NanasWorms8 ай бұрын

  That's a really great explanation of how to set up bokashi. I'm trying to think about food waste we throw away and I'm coming up blank, so I don't really think I need one of these systems. I dry the bones coming out of our bone broth and grind them up for my garden and worm bins bins already. I've seen how bokashi can really accelerate things once added to a worm bin or a compost, so for people with extra food scraps, it's definitely something to consider. ~ Sandra
