Don’t worry just yet. While it may look like your food scraps haven’t changed at all, during the fermentation process, the beneficial microbes will predigest and ferment your kitchen waste, changing it on a structural level. Even though everything may look the same, it really isn’t. However, on rare occasions, if your bokashi bin gets too dry, the fermentation process will stop. If you suspect your bin is too dry, you can add a bit of water to jumpstart the fermentation process, just try to maintain the approximate moisture level of a wrung-out sponge.
