Why Bokashi? Because Bokashi doesn't create greenhouse gasses! Because Food waste is the #1 item in our landfills! 24%! Food waste is responsible for 8-10% of our global greenhouse gasses! If you traditional hot compost perfectly you can cut down those Greenhouse gasses by 50% but with Bokashi it's 0 and has 100% carbon sequestration, 100% nutrient retention and it accepts all food stuff without having to manage proper levels of greens and browns etc. along with being faster it's much easier. Another important thing where I live, is that bears raccoons and rats aren't attracted to it. I brew my own EM with organic brown rice, koji rice, brown sugar and salt. I use a closed bucket, currently with additive free wood stove pellets in the bottom of my bucket to soak up the juices. it goes outside into stacking cedar rings instead of burying it because it's much easier to manage that way and we get lots of snow in the winter. During the winter months, I knock the snow off the lids, dump my bucket and use the finished bokashi as dirt from the bin next to it, to layer with. In the spring it melts and finishes just fine. At some point I am wanting to do an experiment with my home brew up against, homebrew without koji, home-flakes, water kefir, and store bought bran. I want to time lapse them side by side in gallon glass jars to see which one is the most effective.

I just got my Mac N Cheese this year. So far, I'm not seeing any problems with it. Actually Mac N Cheese is about to bloom for me!! I amended the soil when I planted it with fresh potting soil, so I hope that helps. With my Tiki Torch, I've noticed that a lot of the stems (with flower buds) are flopping over. However, the buds were on the plant when I got them and they were already drooping. Do you think I should cut them off?? Anyways, I agree completely with echinaceamaniac, these plants aren't really that great. I think we should right letters to Terra Nova nurseries expressing our concerns. Maybe, if we're REALLY LUCKY, we might even get a refund. Also, a word of advice to echinaceamaniac, try buying larger plants with more established root systems. I know they're more expensive, but this may help them survive in the long run.

You just can not find them here, but they are readily available from California, Here is an EBay link http://cgi.ebay.com/Eriobotrya-japonica-BIG-JIM-LOQUAT-Fruit-Tree-1-gallon_W0QQitemZ290157323592QQihZ019QQcategoryZ42353QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
