Bokashi
With all the interest in allotment gardening I thought it would be nice to have a bit of a review of some of the essentials for the novice gardener.
This is a Bokashi compost bucket. The idea is that you put your kitchen scraps in the bucket with a sprinkle of Bokashi fairy dust. There’s a lovely range of Bokashi stuff available with a particularly attractive starter pack of two buckets and a bag of the Bokashi formula for just ninety quid, or a big bag of the jollop for just sixty five quid. Just google “Bokashi bucket". Alternatively you can use a bucket from the pound shop, and if you want to help the compost heap along just piss on it.
Next time I’ll be looking at raised beds.

Hi VP, well done on your guest-blog on the Grauniad. I'm doing my bit - I've been taking photos of my compost bins for another post.
Did you know that Bokashi is Japanese for festering bucket of crap?

Ninety pounds is a lot of money - it would buy you two years allotment rent, on our site at least.
I think I'll stick to widdling in an ordinary bucket and pouring it into the compost bin, if that's all right with you?
