I switched to disroot and am so far super happy with it. especially because it comes with a lot of nice features like file transfer and cloud storage. its also free.
I used to compost with a bokashi bucket on my balcony because despite everybody saying they don’t smell, I think they do. They dont if they’re closed but as soon as you open them its smelly. I took mine to the balcony to open the lid an fill in the stuff. Maybe some people say it doesnt smell because they like the sour fermenting smell, i surely dont. :/
so I changed to a worm farm last year. and I’m amazed. I would never change back. they’re on my balcony still because I dont want it in my flat. I didn’t have any problems at all yet. once it’s established it runs on its own, no need to buy in things like you have to with bokashi. if you’re on a budget you can even build your own worm farm. there are tons of designs out there with plastic buckets or made from wood.
I live in a place where it gets below 0 in winter (in germany), last winter was pretty mild and there were no problems for the wormies. They are less active in the cold but can be pretty hardy. I put the worm box on some styrofoam to keep it a bit warmer. The woman i got the worms from said she had hers on her balcony all year round for ~10 years and they overwintered perfectly every year.
if you need information about worms and how to keep them look at Rhonda Sherman’s work. here is an interview with her which is an awesome introduction: https://youtu.be/i0ve39opqc4
I would always opt for worms especially if you have a small garden you can use the worm castings for. its pure gold and can help you save money on dirt and fertilizer. also I just love my little friends. :) bokashi is great for getting rid of your food waste but i read some studies that suggest that from a fertilization point of view bokashi might not be as fertile and nutrient dense as one may think. if your goal is just minimizing your food waste then bokashi is still a great option though, i think.
And then all of these clowns arriving with their stupid government private jets. we would honestly be better of without this.
