Year round composting. It’s ideally suits today’s urban lifestyle, and is perfect on a balcony,
in a garage or in the garden.
How does it work?
First, use any kind of plastic, re-sealable container for your household waste (or
compost pail). When the container is full, transfer the contents into your composter. All you have to do is open the lid, throw in the waste, close the lid and rotate the unit to mix the contents well (at least 3 times/week to
maintain active composting) and there you have it. There is no back pain involved. The Envirocycle Composter / Composteamaker requires no mixing tools except your hands to rotate the drum, without getting your hands dirty!
One cycle of the decomposition process takes a period of about 30 to 40 days, but the maturing time of a composting cycle varies depends on how often the composter is turned and how small the ingredients were put inside. In principal, the more often the composter is turned to mix the ingredients and the smaller the ingredients are, the faster the total composting time becomes.
Composting Tips:
- Avoid dairy products.
-
Paper and cardboard may be used in limited quantities, but it would be preferable to recycle them through a selective collection program, if there is one in your neighborhood.
- Compost Tea: The liquid (tea compost) that is collected in the separate base constitutes an excellent source of (nutrient-enriched) elements for trees, flowers and indoor plants. However due to its high concentration, do not forget to mix this liquid with 10 parts of water (10/1).
- Add a shovel full of earth or compost obtained from your first collection, to accelerate the decomposition process for the next use.
