As the adult birds feed their young they are looking for food rich in protein and liquids. Baby birds have no access to water and it’s needed to sustain life so this is provided by live food of one form or another.
In the bin: It ferments in about 10–14 days, depending on the temperature.
If your Subpod smells, it indicates that food is rotting before the worms can eat it or there is not enough oxygen in the system.
There are clear signs your Bokashi bin is fermenting properly: Smell: A tangy, pickled odour (not a rotten smell). Appearance: The food waste will look slightly discoloured but not decomposed. Liquid production: You should be draining Bokashi tea every few days.
Worms are hermaphrodite which means they have both male and female reproductive cells. However, it still takes two to tango… if you know what I mean!
Absolutely! In fact, it’s ideal.
When you add your food scraps and carbon material to the Subpod, you'll need to mix them through using an aerator. This takes a few minutes each time you feed the worms.
Bokashi composting is an anaerobic (oxygen-free) process that uses beneficial microbes to ferment food waste.
