Epilogue






Team Bokashi ( - Sasha + Sebastian) reunited one Wednesday afternoon to bury it, once and for all.
The soil was rocky (and cinderblocky), but we did it with the help of a frontloader and a couple apple cider popsicles.

We decided on a location where the acidity of the bokashi would not interfere with any root systems but would still be easily accessible.  Oh, and it smelled awful.  Like rancid apple juice.  Fortunately, if this system stays in place at Solebury, this shouldn't be the case every time.  We suspect that this was a "bad batch" because we did not drain the liquid Bokashi tea.  While it makes the bokashi smell bad, it should not affect the quality of the finished product.

It will continue to decompose in the ground for another month.  Until then...
