Bokashi Compost Stinks at Miriam Michael blog

Bokashi Compost Stinks. A successful bokashi bin will smell pickly and/or yeasty and may have white mold visible (no visible white mold does not mean that it has failed). Some smells can be in the nose of the beholder, if your system smells terribly acidic, not unlike stomach acid, that means your bucket has been knocked out of balance. Bokashi often will have a white fungus appearance, but the smell is pretty indicative. If you open your bokashi compost bin and you smell a foul, putrid odor or you see lots of blue/green mold, then something has gone wrong. Because the food isn’t decomposing, there’s no terrible rotting food smell (although it’s not odourless), and it doesn’t attract pests. I have been filling my bokashi for about a month and a half and everytime i open it it's mouldy and when i drain the liquid it smells putrid. Bokashi bins have a tap on the bottom that allows the excess liquid to be drained off. If the bin smells worse it may be that the food is rotting rather than fermenting and you. This liquid is a very potent fertiliser or drain cleaner and it can have a really strong smell so the best way to avoid this is to drain it regularly and use it. When the lid is on, there is no smell at all. Bokashi smells acidic, and slightly sweet, like vinegar.
