ADDING WATER

ADD WATER THROUGH THE DOOR

USING YOUR GARDEN HOSE OR

WATERING CAN.

CHECK YOUR LOAD REGULARLY FOR

MOISTURE CONTENT. IF THE LOAD IS

TOO DRY, SPRINKLE IT WITH WATER TO

RESTORE THE MOISTURE CONTENT. DO

NOT OVER WATER! IF THERE ARE SIGNS

OF TOO MUCH MOISTURE (EVIDENCED

BY A STRONG FOUL ODOR), ADD DRY

MATERIALS SUCH AS SAWDUST OR

SHREDDED LEAVES TO ABSORB THE

EXCESS MOISTURE.

CONTROLLING AIR CIRCULATION

(AERATION)

GOOD AERATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE PROCESS OF DECOMPOSITION IN YOUR COMPOST MIXER.

YOU CAN EASILY CONTROL THE AIR CIRCULATION BY SWITCHING THE AERATION VENTS BETWEEN THE OPEN

AND CLOSED POSITIONS. IN COLDER CLIMATES IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CLOSE MOST OF THE VENTS IN ORDER

TO MAINTAIN THE COMPOST PILE CORE WARMTH (LEAVING A FEW VENTS OPEN TO ALLOW OXYGEN TO FLOW IN).

CLOSED OPEN
