absolutely you can make your own 

 

As Allan , in that vid , who is the inventor of grokashi , said 

Make it yourself or if your unable to make it , he's happy to make it for you 

 

if you look up making bokashi , it's the same thing with a few extra ingredients 

 

the first time you lift the plastic shower cap / mulch cover to reveal a white bacterial mycelium mat is quite something

Well said Itchy 

Everyone new to this and anything else ....just have a go..... you learn as you grow 

And the possibilities no matter what you choose are endless

make one sooty 

i've seen them made with 2 20lt buckets 

 

drilled holes in the bottom of the top bucket 

sit it inside the second bucket that you add a

drain tap too at the bottom , & you have a bokashi bin 

 

prob doesn't need to be that big but you do need a tight 

fitting lid 

 

as far as bokashi grain/bran go's you can def make

it yourself but if your going to buy bokashi , " i think " it's

Bokashi One brand that is organic ,

 

i say that cos you can pretty much make bokashi out of anything or any waste 

sawdust , news papper ( more DIY this one ) , spent brewing grains 

rice hulls , wheat bran , next time your in bunnings have a look at the Maze bokashi 

see if you can recognize the mix of stuff they have in there

ah ok. cool

[itchybromusic]

yeah i have similar as well 

 

they call them worm towers 

just a big bit of PVC pipe with some holes in it buried 

with a bit sticking out the top with a lid 

 

i've seen guys use a bucket with lid & handle 

you can fill the bucket with compost materials 

put the lid on , bury it & in a few months time 

use the handle to pull the bucket out , rip the lid 

off & distribute the castings round the garden
