Why Bokashi?

Bokashi composting is a method of dealing with waste that comes from Japan.  It uses anaerobic process to ferment/"pickle" waste in a fast, practically odorless manner.  It is ideal for urban settings.  We also think it would work well here at Solebury because it is capable of processing even large amounts of waste in a way that would not be disruptive nor repulsive to any higher-up figures.  Our current compost pile is more like a heap of damp mulch with bits of eggshells peppered in.  It isn't realy doing much.  Needless to say, our experimenting with Bokashi will be beneficial to both satiating our need for a hands-on biology project and the greater Solebury community.
