Summary

In this episode, we explore the traditional practice of bokashi. Fermenting waste instead of composting offers a number of benefits and comes with its own set of rules on what this practice needs. Bokashi is particularly beneficial for indoor growers, folks in urban spaces, and people who enjoy a good ferment. How does bokashi change the material profile, and what are the benefits, and ultimately, how does a bokashi end-product compare to compost? We explore these questions and what Hillary Clinton has to do with it in this episode.
