Setting-up your composter
First select a location to install your composter
that is convenient to move materials to and
from, usually close to garden. Choose a flat
surface with enough room to be able to rotate
the composter and if able, be sure to select a
location in direct sunlight, to help cook your
compost.
To assemble, you will need onle Philips screw
driver. Complete assembly instructions are
included on inserted sheets.
What to put in your composter
The composting process works best by mixing
moist greens (nitrogen rich) with dry browns,
(carbon rich) in a ratio of approximately 2 parts
green to 1 parts browns.
Greens are: Garden and house planters, Kitchen
scraps, Grass clippings
Browns are: Twigs, Saw dust, Leaves, Straw/hay
Do not Compost: Meats/fats/bones, dairy pro-
ducts, Trush/Plastic, wood ashes, Invasive plant/
weedts
Trouble shooting
1. Compost mix does not heat up:
• Mix is too wet - add dry brown
• Mix is to dry - add water
• Mix ratio is off - check green/brown ratio
and add accordingly
2. Odor:
• Ammonia smell means too much nitro-
gen (Green) - add dry brown.
• Putrid smell (Like rotten eggs) means
mix is too wet andqor not enough oxy-
gen - add dry browns to absorb excessive
moisture and turn composter - open air
vent.
3. Problems with pets/Insects:
• Rodents are attracted to meat and fatty
foods - remove them
• Flies/Insects are attracted to uncovered
wastes, esprcialy kitchen scarps - mix or
cover with brown materials or finished
compost.
Grasscycling: Leave grass clippings on your
lawn or use them as much. This is an excellent
source of nitrogen and helps absorb water
Small shredded materials decompose faster.
Run your lawnmower over pine needles or
leaves and cut up kitchen scarps to speed the
composting process.
