    How different are the videos about bokashi in Spanish. If you are looking for information in Spanish about bokashi, it is always using manure, molasses, yeasts, etc. and using a shovel outdoors. While in English they are the same using buckets? , they have already purchased the bokashi and only introduce kitchen waste. So it's not really like making bokashi.

    Have you ever had a problem with the grinder jamming up so it won't even turn? I have the FC-50 and several times it has jammed to the point you have to loosen the screw in the bottom to free it up.

    • @WorldComposting
      @WorldComposting Месяц назад

      I have had this happen but I've never used a screw to loosen it up. Typically I would add water to loosen up the mass that plugged it then add some try woody material typically peanut shells. After this I would restart the unit and it would clear the jam all by itself. I have found that this happens when the material is too wet and/or too much stringy.

      I'm not sure that would work but I'm not an expert on bokashi I have just been trying all the methods to get rid of food waste without throwing it out and this was another option especially for bones and meats. Typically if I need more bokashi bran I use a rice wash and make it from scratch.

  • @Wordsalad69420
    @Wordsalad69420 Месяц назад

    People are losing their mind over this appliance. Yes, it's not a composter. It's a FoodCycler. Vitamix is not claiming it's a composter. Its job is to process your food remains, grind them up and dehydrate them. It does so very well. It's better than the competition, because the filters are refillable, there's no subscriptions and it's not "smart". I have a lot of animals hanging around my property, so composting outside is a pain, because no matter where I bury my remains, they will dig them up. The FoodCycler solves that problem. In the winter, the composting worms break it down much more quickly. I also compost a lot of eggshells and it's a pain to grind them up by hand. The FoodCycler does that for me. For me, this is a great appliance.

    • @WorldComposting
      @WorldComposting Месяц назад

      It is just a regular shredder but you need one large enough to handle cardboard. If I was just composting it would be fine but for worm composting you really need it in smaller pieces so it has more surface area.

      I'm not sure which is better, the back and forth seems to be better at moving things down the screen where as the vibration can cause things to move in a circle at times. I think starting cheap and moving up works unless this is for a professional business.

      There is some risk but the watermelon has a lot of moisture in it and the UWB is pretty good at keeping moisture in. The worms can dive down if it gets too hot. This will get sorted out more as I harvest a bit so the top isn't so compacted.

    @jodyfarrand8885 2 месяца назад

    I have a Vitamix FoodCycler 5 and have been using it for a couple of months now. I'm quite happy with the result of the "compost". However I have issues with the bucket sticking in the unit after cycles are complete where I cannot get teh bucket out of the unit. I'm afraid the bucket handle wi break. Have you experienced the same issue? If so,how did you resolve it?

    • @WorldComposting
      @WorldComposting 2 месяца назад

      Yes I have had that issue. I have found it typically happens with stringy foods such as celery, artichokes, or asparagus. When this happens typically I will turn the unit to do a cycle have it start then open it and see if I can remove the bucket. To mitigate this if I have a lot of stringy food I'll put in half in one cycle then do another cycle after to cut back on how much it binds up. Or I add in a lot of shells such as peanut, egg, or avocado. I have found these tend to help create more fluffy output in general. Peanut shells work really well and I keep a container of shells ready to go although I know not many people eat them.

      So far no real changes for the worms best I can tell but that is to be expected as I'm really only adding charcoal that should be biochar at the end once I harvest and it has had a chance to absorb water and microbes from the castings.

    • @WorldComposting
      @WorldComposting 2 месяца назад

      Great questions! First question, when the paper is stored I keep it dry as wet paper in a basement can grow mold. But I soak it for 30 minutes before adding it to the systems. Second question, yes and in fact the water I use to soak the paper when adding it to my system has been in the solution with the dunks.

    • @WorldComposting
      @WorldComposting 2 месяца назад

      I can't post the full manual but if you see my other videos this is an add food push button type system. I have put in lobster shells, corn cobs, peach, plum, and avocado pits without issue. It does have some difficulty with very stringy foods if added in bulk such as asparagus, celery, artichokes, or edamame. But I learned to just add them in slowly. Another item I add that was previously being thrown away was meat, chicken bones and fish skin. These items can cause issues in a compost system but now are ground up and added to my yard. Hope that helps if you have other questions ask away!
