In a container gardening situation without soil to bury Bokashi pickled/composted kitchen waste, it seems viable to add to a tumble composter.

What is an accurate method to compute C:N of Bokashi?

Assume for this question that the Bokashi method is Commercial off-the-shelf style anaerobic indoor bucket-system, with the bucket processed through until completion of the Bokashi pickling/composting anaerobic process.

Assume if answering C:N rather that computation method: 1) Mixed high protein (meat/dairy) and normal vegetation kitchen scraps 2) Normal vegetation kitchen scraps only 3) High protein (meat/dairy) only

This isn't the easiest process in the world, but you can do it. Personally, I'd call up a lab and ask if they could test it for me. Other than that, you would have to use something like a combustion process, like a CHN analyzer such as this one (expensive), or use a mass spectrometer to ionize and separate the material, like this one (even more expensive).

In short, not very practical.
