Anyone have an input on why lactic acid bacteria inoculated media turns into white fuzzy stuff ?
Wondering if its brewers yeast forming due to lack of full saturation of the bacteria into the media or some other microb growing due to all the airspace ?

I made my bokashi EM easy -
cook a cup of rice and a cup of water
place on newspaper in worm bin.
two week later , its covered in good stuff
mix that with mollasses and let ferment another week and its good to go
I used shreded newspaper for my bran and it works like a charm
keep the EM airtight and it lasts a good while

The microbes used in Bokashi are grown together and create an acidic anaerobic environment that are not conducive to pathogens like e-coli and salmonella.
You are right, there are anaerobic microbes that are pathogenic, however these little guys are not.
The microbes typically are lacto-bacillus bacteria, beneficial yeast (fungi) and sometimes Phototrophic bacteria (PNSB)
To answer your question...yes bokashi is great for plants. Just mix some as a top dressing and watch how well your plants react.
Some great info on Bokashi on www.mygoodgreen.com

Many many thanks
I believe you are suppose to keep it away from the stalk of your plant right? I think that's sound advice that needs to be passed on when using as a top dress.
