Thanks for the info on Bokashi - decided to keep my green rubbish for our 3×4m front yard and this is just the answer - no dirt out back to keep old style compost and wife who won’t let me keep compost out the front.

That looks good. We create quite a bit of rubbish because we don’t have a compost. Might speak to my landscape guy about that, he’ll have some tips. But thankfully these days we have about 5x the recycling we used to put out, thanks to the council who came into the 21st century last year and distributed wheelie recycling bins AND started taking cardboard and other things they used to refuse. *roll eyes*

Well done Dani! We’ve been working on ours for a while and it’s down to around 3% of the average US household’s garbage now (using these calcs -http://calculator.riot4austerity.org/ )

We have quite a lot more rubbish when we have visitors - mostly drink bottles, but also prepackaged food they bring to share.

The people across the road have their fullsize bins literally overflowing each week; I find it mind boggling.

Love the bokashi bin - esp for the protein scraps, we can’t compost those.

That’s amazing Dani! Good for you. It really puts my pile of recycling to shame. I try, but really must try harder.
