I was curious abou...Welcome to the bucket brigade!<br /><br />I was curious about the tea bags, too, so I did some reading. Turns out most folks have no problem with them _so long as they're well squeezed or allowed to dry_, though now and then you do see the odd specific-number recommendation. (e.g. "no more than five per day". Who figured that out and what size bucket was s/he working with? For that matter, what sized tea bag? And would the type of tea matter? -G-) <br /><br />IIRC, the great Al of bokashi fame set up bokashi buckets for a tea shoppe...<br /><br />Happy bokashi-ing!<br /><br />DSF<br />http://bokashislope.blogspot.comD.

Brecon Beacons are lovely (visited last year). <BR/><BR/>I too started on bokashi earlier this year and have a couple of posts on my blog under the tag 'being green', if you're interested.<BR/><BR/>I've been putting in coffee grounds, tea bags and egg shells (along with a lot of fruit and vege scraps) with absolutely no hiccups. <BR/><BR/>I also put in fish bones, and they seemed fine. They are now in with my compost bin and so far, so good.<BR/><BR/>I don't think you can go astray by being over-generous with the bran. <BR/><BR/>And if you are worried about the bokashi mix, you can leave to ferment for longer than two weeks before adding it to the ground or the compost.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Oanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005515006491660673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34581975.post-88626923952207575802008-05-18T12:03:00.000-07:002008-05-18T12:03:00.000-07:00Hi Eliane - just wondering how you are getting on ...Hi Eliane - just wondering how you are getting on with your Bokashi. I'm now becoming more confident in my the amount of bran I use and I think I am getting through less these days.<BR/><BR/> A big hello to Brecon by the way... I originally come from a village near Merthyr Tydfil and have enjoyed many a visit to your neck of the woods.Her indoorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272166812296058326noreply@blogger.com
