bokashi composting

MDVPC,
I'm very interested in this Bokashi composting. Are you still doing it? I have a very small backyard but want good compost. I was reading how you take a bag of garden soil (does the package actually say garden soil or does it say something else) and you bury your filled bucket in it for 2-3months and voila. You never have to turn it? Does it need heat to do this? I am up in NYC and so I imagine this is something I can only do during the summer? After that, is there a shelf life for this compost? Thank you so much!

This is a fairly old thread. Is everyone still doing Bokashi composting and how is it working out for them?
