Compost

[ailbhe]

Our wormery has failed again. Basically, the kind and quantity of food waste we generate is beyond a wormery. So I've ordered a couple of bokashi bins to use in rotation, and some new worms to hopefully finish off what's failing to compost in the actual wormery. We've also started digging out the raw food waste/garden waste composter and we're getting lovely dirt out of it for our friends with gardens.

Wish us luck.

We got a Green Johanna (http://www.greencone.com/home.asp?lang=1) for a very sensible price via a council discount scheme.

It's handling pretty much everything we throw into it, and producing very nice compost.
Except for bones that is - the chicken bones are turning up at the bottom pretty much unchanged, so we've had to stop putting those in. Everything else goes in though, and it just about keeps up with us on kitchen and garden waste. It is big though.
