Bokashi Bucket in the Heatwave Cities

Certainly in normal conditions,  then a warm day will not affect the microbial actions that are quietly taking place in your 'Green Frog' Bokashi Bucket. 

But there is a small chance (hence this post),  in the receptical that the live and working micro-organisms may  face an early death if the temperature gets hot enough.  In this case,  then the fermentation process will likely stop and no longer be actively working.

Keep your bucket's out of direct sunlight during these long hot summer days to make the most out of this fantastic system.

If you are in any doubt,  then do the following:

1. Drain away the Bokashi Juice.  Bokashi Juice will form in the bottom of the bucket. This should be drained off as it builds up.   Bokashi Juice can be diluted with water and makes a terrific fertiliser for garden or pot plants.  It can be poured down drains and it is safe to use in septic tanks. When used in drains it will help to clean up our water ways by competing with harmful bacteria.
2. Bury the current waste
3. Clean out the bucket with a hose (over a poor patch of the lawn recommended) and wash out & some biodegradeable detergent  (if necessary) 
4. Start the process again, as per the instructions  http://www.bokashi.com.au/Bokashi-Instructions.htm
