Food recycling
Re: Food recyclingEverything that is raw goes in my composter, but my dad says I can't put cooked stuff in there. Can cooked veg go into a wormery? I did look into bookashi, but I dont think it would suit me as I dont really have the scope to dig the pickled stuff in regularly

Re: Food recyclingJust googled it - it's an in- kitchen composter which you fill and sprinkle special bran in. It comes with 2kg of bran which the site says lasts 2 months, but to purchase 2 further 2kg packs of the bran is £23.

Re: Food recyclingJust been checking out price of the bran stuff for bokashi bins and the price quoted by p.penn is quite high, it is available for 6kg for £25.42 .... I think this amount would last a long time. Hmmmmmmmm will have to think about this and shop around the web a bit more.

Re: Food recyclingJust starting to realise (thankfully before buying bokashi) that we really have very little food waste... this week I am going to keep it in a seperate container and see just how much there is.... yes, yes, I realy must get out more....could go somewhere nice with money saved from not buying bokashi bin!
Re: Food recyclingRegarding bokashi bins, have you tried your local council??
In our area we were told by our council that we could apply for bokashi bins, which I did. I received two bins and four lots of bran. I have to say an excellent little gadget, you just had to be careful when emptying the liquid reservoir - as it is quite ghastly stuff. I do feel I didn't use enough bokashi (which is the special e's bran stuff) and that is why it did have a bit of a whiff. Try your local authority, I reckon I got about £50 worth of stuff for nothing from them. http://www.freshstartforhens.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Calm down dear ! It's only a forum
Re: Food recyclingI have a wormery which is great - as well as giving lovely moist compost it provides the miracle of 'worm wee' which is a great liquid fertiliser. It also just keeps going - I didn't put anything in mine for quite a while at one point but the worms were quite happy when I went back to it!!
