Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your bins is straightforward: ensure the tap is securely attached at the base before beginning your first cycle. Place the bins in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain a stable room temperature. Care for the system involves rinsing the bins with warm water and mild detergent only after the contents have been emptied into the garden; avoid harsh chemicals that might kill the beneficial fermentation bacteria. Keep the lids firmly snapped shut at all times to ensure the anaerobic seal is not broken, as oxygen introduction can lead to mold and putrefaction rather than healthy fermentation.
