bokashislope: October 2010
http://bokashislope.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Sunday, October 31, 2010. After the bucket: Good bug, bag bug? Even on Hallowe'en, I'm not inclined to frighten anyone too badly, so no appropriate insect photo today. Besides, I like Dr. Seuss. And wasn’t really surprised, though I was disappointed, to discover that only the one with the critters. It’s the other detritus-clearers that I have issues with. Sowbugs and so on may eat seeds and sometimes sprouts, so if they’re in the compost, I...BSFL eat larg...

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Thursday, May 26, 2011. Sorry for the formatting—I'm having blogger issues again. Image from espressoplanet, no connection though I lost some time browsing their offerings.]. Single-serve = more packaging. I know. And K-cups are ridiculously easy to throw away, all neatly packed even after use, while being nearly impossible to dispose of responsibly. If only they didn't make such good coffee! Which argument would sit less uneasily on my tongue if not for t...

bokashislope: November 2010

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Thursday, November 25, 2010. There was a fire at the apartment, and between the fire, fire fighters, and presumably helpful cleaners afterwards.well, let's call it a fresh start. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. From teh Interwebs: A Repulsive Idea. An experiment I wouldn't have done, but a question I get asked fairly frequently- now I can just tell folks to go read about Heather's.

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Saturday, June 11, 2011. Image from Animal Diversity Web. The cover wasn't well secured, and I hadn't bothered with weights, so it was my own fault; next time I'll know better. But that was no help for this. A bag one of these Texas Blind Snakes had adopted for a home. But I'm a gardener with only limited space, and the presence of a raised bed full of largely composted matter eventually proved too great a temptation. So I grabbed the longest-handled s...

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Tales from the Bucket: The Stone Soup Bucket. Image from the Florida invasive plants site. Before moving to Texas, I had never encountered the term “trash tree.” Until chinaberries and scrub elm, I'd never thought to use it. But chinaberries.well, I suppose they have their place, but there are far too many of them in my limited growing space. Unless, of course, you're short on composts, funds, and resources altogether. Or are t...

bokashislope: January 2011
http://bokashislope.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Sunday, January 9, 2011. Bought myself a new bottle of EM-1. Though it doesn't say that on the label. Back when I started playing with bokashi, I did the math and determined that buying the liquid inoculant plus molasses and bran was much cheaper than purchasing dried EM bokashi bran. It's even cheaper if you activate the EM-1, which can be used as is, skipping the bran altogether, or used to inoculate a dry carrier if that's the preference*. It's not the ...

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Friday, March 25, 2011. Project Restart: Hoarding Bokashi. Image from http:/ www.vendingmachineservices.co.uk/]. No, wait, I mean storing. Holding at a particular point until ready to use. Really. I may be something of a miser when it comes to finished vermicast, but all the other composts, plant foods, and rooting media are there to be used- I'll just make more. (Verne et cie. Butwhat if you could balance the environment enough to slow everything down wit...

bokashislope: September 2010

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Image from The Nourished Kitchen. The Internet is an amazing place. Yikes I've been spending too much time around eggheads lately. -G- Where was I? Molasses, alternatives to, right. Don't get me wrong, I love molasses. In the kitchen and the garden both (ginger snaps and AEM/AIM come immediately to mind). But judging by the number of plaintive queries I've seen, non-US gardeners, especially, may not be able to find. I find it ...

bokashislope: July 2011

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Tales from the Bucket: Dirt Nap. No, that's not the reason I've been silent (fortunately), but the current bokashi-bucket tweak. Some disciplined container gardeners "rest" mixes between use in order to prevent pathogen transfer, discourage insects, and limit the spread of pot-weeds. I'm not often that disciplined- typically, if I have a container full of potting mix, there are three plants on hand I could put in it! Digging a hole...

Microbes eat my garbage! Or something like that. Sunday, September 25, 2011. While I'm still focused on rebuilding, others are doing more exciting things with bokashi:. Http:/ myfanwe.xanga.com/755077309/bokashi-books-and-broody-hens/. This industrious blogger collected windfall citrus to add to bokashi. “After” photos here, with a link to the “before” post included. A community garden program that offers classes in vermicomposting and bokashi? Okay, probably a bit of commute, but. Subscribe in a reader.
