I had never heard of Bokashi composting before I read this book.  I have a regular composter, a black bin that sits on the edge of my yard, and when I remember, I throw scraps into it, but it takes SO long to break down into compost that I forget it.  I've never gone much further than that, although I know my garden would benefit tremendously from home made compost, more even than the compost I buy every year.Bokashi composting is quicker than traditional composting, and I am so excited to try it!  I had never heard of Bokashi composting before, so when I saw it, I knew I needed to read it.  I found the book to be interesting and full of useful information.  Bokashi uses a fermented bran to help the composting process.Instead of relying on the natural breakdown process, or buying a compost accelerator which is chemically based and not something I want to use, the bran is natural and uses natural microbes to help speed up the composting process.  I also appreciated that the author talked a bit about making compost tea, because in my opinion, the tea you can make from compost is even more valuable to the garden than the compost itself.I recommend highly to anyone who is interested in composting.
