Ha, well I'm the last person who should give trash advice... my first bokashi attempt smelled like a gym locker full of forgotten bananas. Turns out you actually have to press the lid down until it clicks, who knew? My neighbor probably thought I was brewing poison.

Sounds like a wild day, but was the horse ever in real danger?

But it's just noise at the end of the day. People read way too much into every little thing. Not every sound needs a deep meaning, lol.
