We highly recommend layered composting paired with either vermicomposting or bokashi (or both). Bokashi offers the benefit of a wider range of compostable wastes, and a unique blend of beneficial microorganisms, while vermicomposting helps to speed up to breakdown and aerobic stabilization of the wastes, and leaves you with an incredible finished product, worm castings.
