Hmmm... part-eaten yogurt pots (contents I assume - LOL) - there must be some creative use we could put that to. Never happens here, so I can't speak from experience. Unfinished food is pretty much non-existent at our table. I’m not sure how soon I’ll be getting started with bokashi, but I’ll try to keep you updated when I do.

We don't have meat in the house, since the Mountain Man doesn't eat it, and I'm not willing to cook it just for me, but we do have a lot of dairy (you know, the half eaten yogurt containers . . .)

I think you captured the benefits of composting with Bokashi well, but although Bokashi is good for most kitchen scraps, I tend to leave out things like tea bags (too moist and tend to go mouldy) and bones (don't break down and as a result tend to attract vermin). Take a look at my post <a HREF="http://www.leangreenhome.co.uk/bokashi/bokashi-explained/" REL="nofollow">Bokashi Explained</a> for more information on Bokashi, or <a HREF="http://www.leangreenhome.co.uk/bokashi/bokashi-instructions/" REL="nofollow">Bokashi Instructions</a> for a comprehensive how to. Best of luck with your Bokashi experiment!
