Hi Punks! I am wondering what would be the best option to do some eco waste recycling at home? I am living in a small flat and have a balcony where I am trying to grow some veggies and herbs. Lately I am getting targeted apps about worm farms that you can have either in your flat (because apparently they don’t smell?) Or on a balcony. Does anyone have experience with this? Or does it make more sense to simply compost? I think you can use bokashi as well to compost that has some microorganisms? I am wondering what would be the best option smell wise and suitable for smaller amounts of waste and space. If anybody has some experience to share I’d be grateful :)
I’m assuming a worm farm is what we call a wormery in Britain. The main thing about wormeries and bokashi is they can take cooked food waste, that’s not usually advised for composting.
So in part I think it depends what your source material will be.
Our wormery can get a bit whiffy, though it’s not noticeable until you take the lid off to put more stuff in. Still, not sure I’d want it inside. Bokashi seems designed for indoors.
Thanks! It will be a bit of both, cooked and uncooked bio waste. I think I’ll probably look into bokashi if it can take cooked food waste as well that seems like a good option.
