Just found a
new site dedicated to non-retail bokashi solutions. Homebrew bokashi starters.
I’ve been meaning to do a few non-commercial test-versions myself, though it’s not so high on the list of things to do as finding a satisfactory minimal-soil bokashi-to-compost solution. Have to say, though, this poster’s doing things I wouldn’t have thought of.
The process up right now isn’t one that appeals to me, but it makes interesting reading, and might suit some people’s situations. Also, fermenting newspaper? Very cool.
Hmm. If you combined the newspaper-fermenting technique with the newspaper cat-litter recipe from
Allie’s Answers, using liquid soap made from local soapberries (and possibly omitting the baking soda), you’d have an impressively local bucket starter at, potentially, zero dollars spent... Someone want to try this?
Please?
I’d do it myself, but I’m all out of space!

Thanks for the link! The idea of modifying it for bokashi is really interesting.
Thanks for the kitty litter recipe! -G-
I might have to try making newspaper "bran" one of these days; seems like it ought to work...
