The newspaper is “marinated” in a mixture of yogurt whey, black strap molasses and a little water. After it sits for about two weeks, it’s opened and dried. That provides the “bokashi bacteria” for the bin, and is what separates it from a regular compost bin. The newspaper is layered into the compost as we add food waste. The bacteria sort of pickles the waste matter.

So it also works with newspapers? Doesn’t that make the bokashi bin a regular compost bin? Because it’s the bokashi mix with the micro-organisms that make the Bokashi so special.

Just place a piece of newspaper between each layer of waste. At the bottom of the post is a link to Bokashi Composting, which tells a little more about it.
