Hi! 😊 What method do you use to nourish your plant soil? Have you heard of Bokashi? If you have any questions, leave them below. Thanks for joining me!
I have seen this method used but in larger scale. I am so grateful to you for showing how it can work for small balcony gardens - I fully intend to have one someday! I take from your beautiful videos two wonderful things: learning and peacefulness. Thank you!! 🌻
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that you find both inspiration and a sense of calm in my videos; that means a lot to me. 😊 This method really is so adaptable, and I’m glad to show how even a small balcony can thrive. Let me know your results if you try this method! 🌿🌻
Thank you, Miranda, for your comment! 😊 I see that many have heard of this method but haven’t seen concrete examples. I’m happy if this video can be useful to someone. I wouldn’t mind having access to vermicomposting either. 🪱 I’ve done some experiments in the past, but on a balcony, it’s quite inconvenient. In your case, you could even combine both methods. Let me know if it works for you! 👩🌾🌱
So interesting to watch and learn. I haven't heard of this method before and I like that it's compact enough for my small garden space. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your comment; I really appreciate it! Yes, the advantage is that the first phase of composting is done entirely indoors without any hygiene issues or bad odors. Plus, it works in all seasons.
I use a cheap trash box covered with a net where I put some soil with activators and then add all my plant based kitchen scraps (I cut them into small pieces so it takes less time to decompose). I have to mix it at least every other day, but in 3 months I have a decent compost I can use for my few plants.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. 😊 Yes, that's also a great method. I needed a solution I could manage indoors since I don’t have a garden and wanted something less demanding. With Bokashi, once it's in the bucket, you don’t need to mix it.
I have a large Australian designed biodigester to compost down kitchen scraps, as well as a traditional compost heap. I have 8 large raised beds, and they are given a thick layer of compost in late autumn after harvest, except the onion/garlic beds which are composted after those alliums are harvested. Heard of Bokashi, bur not seen it in practice, and thank you for showing us how it is done.
Thank you for your comment! Bokashi composting is a very useful method for small setups like mine where there’s no garden or in urban spaces. If I had more space, I’d go for traditional composting methods. However, I know that some people combine the two systems, for example, using Bokashi during the colder months. The biodigester idea is really interesting-thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi, thanks for your comment! 😊 I keep the two Bokashi buckets in my kitchen, one full for fermentation and one that’s being filled. I can assure you that, when used correctly, they don’t smell at all, and there are no worms or anything like that. Personally, I don’t add meat scraps, but I don’t think it would make a difference. Ms. Z has a very sensitive nose. 😊 The Bokashi tea does have a distinct smell, but you only notice it when draining it through the tap. This whole part is done indoors. There’s a slight smell when transferring from the Bokashi bucket to the soil container, but only until you cover it with soil. This final phase is done outdoors, not inside the house. I hope I’ve shared useful info to help you get a bountiful harvest! 🌱
@ luckily we have the same sensitive nose 😂 thank you for this helpfull information. In the South of Vietnam, the weather is hot, arround 28-30oC (~ 85oF), just little bit cooler in the end of the year, so I’m not confident with this type of fertilizer. But I have a baby and this is the most reason makes me hunt an organic method. So happy to see your video here. Thank you so much!
Keep in mind that even here in Northern Italy, we get those temperatures or even higher in the summer. ☀️ Sending greetings to you and your little one from Italy! 😊

So peaceful and yet useful 🙏🏻 Grazie
Thank you Elina! Glad you like it.
Such an informative video you made Sir. Love every bit of process. So refreshing. Thank you lot❤
Thank you so much for your comment! I hope this video can be helpful for people like me who don’t have much space to grow plants.

Thanks for the info, I've often wondered how the Bokashi composting system works. I have worm farms. This is another good option.

Hello Mr. Rudy, I wonder what it smells like? I'm really scared of strange smells in the house and maggots, I’m still not delay to try this method
