I can't believe it takes you about two weeks to fill one bucket! I'll look into it this weekend! Thanks for the tip Josh. I can’t believe it takes you about two weeks to fill one bucket!

We had a gorgonzola version tonight-but I unfortunately have no idea how far our ingredients came from. With the exception of one that is: Rocket - from our roof top garden. We live in a very small apartment and are currently the proud parents of rocket, parsley, cilantro, spinach leaves and newly born basil, onions and mint. In terms of your challenge for week 3, we've had success with a composting product called Bokashi. It's basically a sealable bucket with a false floor which acts like a sieve to allow liquid waste to drip through from the decomposing solid waste above. The system comes with a bag of EMOs (not the unhappy kind) but of the Effective Micro-organisms kind, which aid the breakdown process after just a tiny handful is added for every layer of organic waste. It takes us on average two weeks to fill one bucket, including meat scraps-which is alot of waste we used to just throw away. Now, when it's full, we simply either take it to a community garden for burial or rotate a bucket of soil and organic matter on the roof-top. And the juice? It makes a potent but effective fertilser for the garden or for washing down sinks to erode bacteria. If only it were drinkable... We got the Bokashi from a shop called Todae.
