The food wastes added to your bokashi bucket may not look much different than when they went in. but their chemical structure has change completely.<BR/><BR/>It is when your bokashi food waste goes into your compost heap that the real composting begins. Bones do take longer to break down but in my experience, they become soft and pliable after several weeks/months in the compost. <BR/><BR/>Will they disappear? Eventually. If you want to make that happen faster, the best thing I can suggest is to break the bones into smaller pieces when you put them in your bokashi bucket.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Al<BR/>http://www.greatday.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
