Operating a Sun-Mar is
easy. There are two things that you have to do on a routine basis - rotate
the drum and add bulking material, at the rate of a cupful per person per
day.
When it comes
time to empty, you are never dealing with fresh waste; when the drum is
1/2 to 2/3 full, you rotate the drum backwards by releasing the drum
locker and dump some compost into the finishing drawer. Leave it there to
finish batch composting for 3-4 weeks.
The following
sections give more detail on use and maintenance. Please also see our
installation
section for more detail. |
