Dual-Chamber Design For best results, cut items into small pieces. Items remain in the upper chamber, where ideal "hot composting" conditions are maintained: mixing, air flow, heat, and moisture (click diagram). The energy released destroys odors, pathogens, and seed germination. The compost is later transferred through a trap door to the lower cure tray chamber, where it continues to compost. Meanwhile, you continue to add fresh waste items to the upper chamber - and the cycle goes on.
Technically Speaking Once compost cultures are established in the first few days of operation, they consume waste quickly without odors. A small fan draws air into the machine continuously, providing oxygen to the compost cultures. A powerful activated charcoal carbon filter removes any lingering odors. The filter is included with the unit, but it must be replaced every 2-3 years as odors develop. You can purchase a new filter from us ($10), or replenish the carbon yourself about $1.
Enjoying the Benefits Empty the cure tray when the indicator light comes on - roughly every two weeks. More than seventy percent of the initial waste disappears into thin air -- literally -- as compost cultures convert it into water vapor. (Amazing, right?!) What's left is a very concentrated soil fertilizer -- aka compost. Fresh compost has a mild organic aroma, which people often describe as damp wool, sourdough bread, or mushrooms. You can use it immediately, or collect it in a heap outdoors until you are ready to work in your garden.
