From Digitech Laser:
We have decided to start an office composting system. We only have 13 employees so we aren’t generating a large amount of waste, but we still think we should try and cut down. Our first idea was to have a company come in and pick up our compostable materials, but after some searching we found that Vancouver doesn’t currently have this system in place. Smithrite offers this, but not for offices as small as ours. We then thought about setting up a worm bin, but from our research we think that this method can be smelly and there are a lot of materials that have to be kept out.
Then we found the “Bokashi Bucket”. It was appealing to us because it claims to have no smell, no worms, recycles all types of waste other than liquids and is small enough for in the office kitchen.
The post includes a link to my website and updates have already been posted
Thanks Nikki.

I was informed the issue would be coming out July 1 [today].
However, I started getting calls on Wednesday but could not check my messages until Friday. Arrgh. It was an exciting day. I’m ready now….
Here is a scan of the full page:
and a link to Shared Vision’s website.
When I talk with people about Bokashi, I give them this brochure [.pdf]
Note: The image presented by Shared Vision is only one bucket. All my client photos show that two nesting buckets are used. The inside bucket has drainage holes and the outside bucket [the one with the label] is used to collect liquid from your material.

Melor binti Mohd Daud from Perak, Malaysia started a blog - Bokashi Farmer - on WordPress and links to this blog, Susan’s article about me on her own blog and an article on Path to Freedom that I commented on a while back.
Thanks Melor. Here’s a link back you….

Inspiration overload
As I mentioned last week, a guerrilla gardening group recently formed in Vancouver. We met last weekend, and I’ve been thinking about how to introduce the group to Heavy Petal readers. You see, there are just so many cool people involved! It’s inspiring and exciting.
First, there’s our founder and fearless leader, Oren, a landscape architect with a focus on urban ecological design.
There’s Al, who some of you might know from his blog Urban Wilderness but who is now blogging from Al’s Bokashi Blog about Bokashi composting (Al, I must find out more about this!).
There’s Ward, the “boy” behind cityfarmboy.com, a company promoting urban farming and related products and services.
Read it all…
