I have mold in my bucket! What should I do? White mold is good. The white mold is a beneficial fungus which helps suppress pathogens. If you have white mold it shows that your fermentation is going well. When added to soil this beneficial fungus helps with soil water retention. Black/blue/green mold is bad. It shows that the fermentation has not worked properly. This is a rare occurrence and is the result of the bin not being closed properly (not anaerobic), not enough bokashi has been used, and/or rotten food has been added to the bin. If you have bad mold the scraps should be discarded. Dig a hole twice as deep as your digester. Add bokashi to the bottom of the hole. Add the waste. Cover with more bokashi. Then cover with soil. Leave for at least 4 weeks before attempting to plant over.
