Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting a Bokashi bin.. We do have one of those triple layer worm farms, but we kept forgetting to take stuff out to it, and then in the summer they all died It also got really smelly and I hated lifting the lid as I was worried what was going to come out, and also it seemed to take ages for anything to break down. I was thinking of getting an indoor one so it would be easy to put stuff into straight away (and it says you can put more stuff in it -= m,eat scraps, citrus etc), and then once the indoor one is full then putting that stuff in the worm farm (was going to get a handful of worms from my mum and start the colony again).

Questions:
1. do they actually work? how long does stuff take to break down, and are they really now odour (or DH will never go for it)
2. It says you ideally need 2 - is this right or will 1 suffice?
3. How much of that powder do you need (i.e. how much extras will I need to be buying)
4. Can I put it in the worm farm afterwards, or should I just give up on the worm farm and put it straight onto the veggie garden?

Thanks muchly
