TIPS FOR BETTER COMPOSTING
Add wood chippings to manage humidity levels.
Turn the composter as often as possible to oxygenate and stir your mixture, to help with maturation.
Your composter can be installed indoors (in a garage or garden shed) or outdoors. If it is outdoors, it should be located near the kitchen, in a place that is easy to access in all seasons. If you live in a cold climate, find a location that is sheltered from cold winds to reduce the effects of wind chill.
For best results, all table scraps should be cut into small pieces before being placed in the composter. This precaution greatly improves the decomposition process.
If you want to use the compost produced by your composter to grow fruits and vegetables, it is essential that you do not use polluting materials in your composter, such as treated wood, herbs or flowers treated with chemicals.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE COMPOST PRODUCED
When the composter is sheltered from strong winds and is in full operation, receiving a constant supply of material, the internal temperature of the compost can accommodate the cold winter temperatures. In the depths of winter (very cold and prolonged temperatures), the composter's activity may slow down or even stop. Similarly, if you empty a compartment and start a new cycle, the small amounts may not be enough to build up a suitable temperature.
We suggest sheltering the composter and continuing to add your table scraps daily. When the weather is milder, add a container filled with hot water to the compartments of the composter to help raise the temperature. Although slowed, composting should continue. This automated composter is equipped with a grinder and rotating blades. This high-performance composter efficiently processes organic waste from high-emission sources. Novaterra takes care of machine maintenance, optimization of composting parameters and compost harvesting.
Strengthen lawns by incorporating it into the soil.
Enrich vegetable and agricultural crops.
Restore degraded or eroded soils.
Use compost as mulch around plants; this helps retain moisture.
Mix compost with potting soil when planting shrubs or trees.
