Almost there

Okay so now it's almost time for me to start filling up the second chamber of my Joraform composter. It feels like i can empty the first chamber already since it's already compost in there but I guess I'll wait until the second chamber is full. We got some help filling it up from friends at that is one tip I can give people that is interested in buying a Joraform. Buy one that is bigger than your needs and take your neighbors waste or let them dump it in the composter. Not only will it help the environment, you will help your neighbors. If I didn't get mine for free I would consider buying it together with some neighbors.

I wanted to share some pictures of the compost mixture that I created. it's super exiting that you can see the layer of compost mixture stuck to the side of
the insulation. I'm going to try to keep it like that when i empty it later. The picture to the right is actually from the lid that open and closes. i think it's pretty cool.

One thing that I notice can make a big difference is if the air holes are clogged or not. the compost tumbler needs air to work good, therefore I always try to clean out the air holes. This is easier said then done once you get more compost in your chambers. the first picture is from the clogged hole and the other when i cleaned it, see the difference. it's obvious how much more air that flows in.

When you fill it up, make sure to put your kitchen waste into it then add wood pellets and turn, then open the lid again and clean the air holes.
I notice that it helps, maybe I'm just overdoing it ;).

Ohh by the way, I went to the store to by a thermostat and forgot it.
Will i ever get to know how hot it is inside my compost tumbler?
