I agree Buckaroo. And now that I understand what simple food scraps can do when composted by Bokaski, then worms in a little worm bin, even someone in an apartment could make this fertilizer for just about FREE, and grow weed, tomatoes, eggplant, whatever in a window. Or take the compost outside and give it to a tree. That stuff will sink down and the plant will just eat it up and love you for it.
I'm about to start my big worm experiment. A 30 gallon smart pot with some starting compost and old soil. And a pail of Bokashi. The worms will have an orgy in this. I'm also going to run some plants like Nettles through this system. Alfalfa, rock powders, and a shitload of other stuff that's cheap. Start the soil amending in the earthworm castings (vermicompost) itself. This will be the best compost available at any price. Fully bio-active with all the minor amendments and most of the major.
Repeat: The best compost available... and the worms did the work. OK I have to water the worm pile once a week. But that's about it. The worms break that shit down to a fine, odorless black gold. Safe as can be to add to your plants as-is. No burning, as the worms and bacteria have super-cooked it.
I want to show this can be done in 5 square feet.
