MAINTENANCE

To remove the finished compost, turn the barrel of the composter so the door is facing
the ground and slide the door away from the chamber you want to empty. Make sure part
of the door is still covering the unfinished side, which may not be ready to be emptied.
COMPOSTING TIPS:
Three rules for composting:
1. Quality materials and proper ratio of greens (Nitrogen) to browns (Carbon)
approximately, two parts green to two parts brown.
2. Consistent moisture. Mix should feel like a damp sponge.
3. Good air circulation. Turn the composter every few days after the batch heats up to
help aerate the mix and encourage faster decomposition.
GRASS-CYCLING:
Leave grass clippings on your lawn or use them as mulch. This
is an excellent source of nitrogen and helps to absorb water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Small shredded materials decompose faster. Run your lawn mower over pine needles
or leaves and cut up kitchen scraps to speed the composting process.
