The new RHS podcast is so eye-opening as someone new to #Gardening.
Blight-resistant cherry #tomato plants for hanging baskets, keep yer flowers!
#bokashi composting and some great editing. Loved it.

Am Mittwoch, 2. April, findet um 19 Uhr in unserem SoLawi-Garten ein Terra preta Treffen statt. Es geht um den Einsatz effektiver Mikroorganismen und Pflanzenkohle für die Pfanzengesundheit und die Herstellung eines Küchen- und Rasenschnitt-Bokashis. Ein langjähriges Mitglied leitet das Ganze.
Teilnahme ist kostenfrei.
I used to think that #bokashi composting required a carefully designed microbial community.
And it's not. It's so dumb.
It's just food waste lactofermentation. You can literally just do it.
Replied to Pollinators
@Pollinators The finished bokashi compost [when the pre-bokashi compost is completely broken down after being covered in soil/compost for 2 weeks or so] smell wise, is indistinguishable to me from normal compost.
You’d not know pre-bokashi compost had been added to it except maybe the compost is a darker colour.
The pre-bokashi compost [that’s been fermenting in a bokashi bin for 2-6 weeks depending on your set up] can be a strange sweet-sour pickled smell. #Bokashi #Compost

@JimmyB @liztai Cooked food scraps, including bones, can be pickled to make a #bokashi compost.
You only need an air tight container you can tap the liquid out of (or two containers fitting snugly together where only the liquid drains into the second container).
The diluted liquid is used on the garden.
Add a spray of lactic acid bacteria each time you add food scraps to the bin and it’ll start the pickling process.
The pickled pre-bokashi compost is buried in soil to make #compost.
Did someone say "Compost"?
If anyone is interested. This is Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Do share if you think anyone in your extended networks may also be interested

@andy It’s great to close that food waste loop and turn it all into compost.
I’ve found inoculated bran was an unnecessary extra cost. I’ve replaced that with sawdust which I can pick up a quantity locally for free.
I make lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and shelf stabilise it with brown sugar or molasses and inoculate the sawdust.
How to make LAB and some of the multiple uses for it in the garden are in the link below.

The Nutrient Company · How To: Culture Lactobacillus (LAB) for Horticultural useGenerally when it comes to bacteria and microbes we'd be referring to the aerobic type you'd hope to produce in a Compost Tea (AACT) system, the reason being that the presence of anaerobic bacteria in these systems are nearly always 'bad news'. However there are useful anaerobes out there and it is very much worth looking in to putting them to use in your horticultural endeavours!!Enter Lactobacillus....Lactobacillus is a facultive anaerobe that we are generally interested in for it's ability to
Danke nochmal an @bodenschaetzen
für den tollen #Workshop zum Thema #Kompost und #Bokashi
Ich hab viel gelernt.
Hat jemand Interesse an Bokashi-tee oder #bokashi erde?
Habe 3 litee Bokashi-tee abzugeben und demnächst auch einen Eimer bokashi erde
Anyone tried bokashi composting? I’m curious about the pros and cons people have experienced.

Coming through my first week experimenting with #bokashi #compost. Middlin' success. I'm too cheap to shell out for the bran, & too lazy to make my own, but I ran a cross a video of a woman using just the culture fluid other vids use to make the bran. I realized I've been going through Mass Quantities of keifer lately, so I've started using the rinse-water when I empty the bottle, filling it back up with dechlorinated tap water with a dollop of molasses to use as my inoculant. >
So I have a question about making #Bokashi bran. I've watched the below video, but I have to wonder: would it work to skip the first two steps & just use yogurt in your warm water & molasses mix step? (Though I expect you want the sort that separates to curd and water, not "Greek style" yogurt.)?
DIY'd a bokashi bucket! Been using bokashi for years with great results in the city, but just throwing food scraps in the garden compost on the land. Feels quite wasteful -- diluting potential good-quality compost with bad.
Initially wanted it fancy like a commercial one, with.a little tap for emptying out the liquid. Couldn't figure out how to make it work. Budget constraints favor simplicity too, esp. since we'll need a couple more once this is full.
Continued thread
seuraava haaste:
onko tämä saavi täynnä käyttämätöntä bokashi-sekoitemultaa, vai pelkkää jämämultaa? en muista.
ett vienkö roskiin vai käyttöön?
onko roskaa vai kultaa sisällä siis?
veikkaan ett bokashia.... sen verran mustan näköistä kun kuohkeutti. (ja bokashia tuli silloin öö 3v sitten ihan kyllä määriä)
Hei bokashiasiantuntijat! Kertokaas aloittelijalle et pärjääks mun bokashi ens viikon maanantaista perjantaihin tai lauantaihin ilman et satsi menee pilalle 
voin maanantaina ennen reissuun lähtöä valuttaa sieltä nesteet, kaveri pääsis pe-la käymään tsekkaamassa tilanteen. Toi on alkanu vasta hiljan valuttamaan nestettä.
