Rating: - It does work
I've gone through a few loads of bokashi fermented food in this unit. I also made my own out of some 3 gallon buckets. The happy farmer unit has never rotted the food. Yes there is an odor, but it is not rotten- my homemade bucket at one point was not airtight and it rotted food- there is a very big difference. The smell is a pickled smell, and I suppose it is stinky but honestly its not too bad. We use ours inside only. One tip is to put a plastic bag inside on top of the food and push it down so it eliminatess any air. The fermenting process is anaerobic so any oxygen in there just slows things ... Read More
Rating: - bokashi: it does smell
It's a nice idea, but frankly it smells. I don't find it a pleasant smell, the smell of fermenting molasses... And once food is added. eew. I believe we used more than ample amounts of bokashi so that wasn't the issue. Also once it's set and it comes time to bury it to finish composting... well you'll want a gas mask. Plus, there's a limit to how many holes you can realistically dig in your yard.
I can't imagine that people do this inside. We had to move it outside even though it does seal up... and the fermented juice is not something I'd want to dump in my houseplants.

Rating: - A lot more work than I bargained for
More work than I thought it was going to be, and it doesn't really MAKE compost, it just gets it started, then you're supposed to bury the pickled food scraps in dirt in order for it to really break down. The return policies include restocking fee, so make sure you really want to buy this.
