- Chop and cut all waste for best results. This is very important as it will greatly reduce the breaking down time of the waste.
- Add sawdust or wood pellets to the waste to absorb moisture. The ratio should be around 1:10 (wood/sawdust : waste).
- Rotate the unit - this is one of the most remarkable advantages of these composters as new surface planes emerge for the micro-organisms to digest. Rotating draws air in through the air vents, preventing bad smells from occurring and also mixes wet and dry matter. After the heat has initially built up, the air vents should be open at all times. One turn of the unit with each new quantity of waste is sufficient to aerate the contents.
- Rotate the unit more often if the contents are wet to ensure even distibution of the sawdust or wood pellets.
