With every new layer of waste material, ensure that you gently stir the
fresh top layer of mixture with some of the older layer beneath. This allows
all the micro-organisms working below to become part of the new layer that's
just been added. It is also vital that once a month you give the whole compost
pile a stir, helping all the layers to blend together for a more consistent and
fine compost finish.
Here's What To Put In Your Green Johanna
Kitchen Waste:
Cooked foods, including meat and fish, plus
fruit and vegetable scraps and peelings, dairy,
bread, eggshells (crushed), pasta, rice, tea bags,
coffee grounds, coffee filters.
It is OK to place food into the Johanna in a compostable bag, but do not place
regular plastic bags into the composter in any circumstances.
Remember the essential ingredients for
continual composting
The location and the right waste management are vital for ensuring the three
mainstays of good composting.
Air Circulation
By continually moving
the waste in the composter
you allow oxygen to reach all
the micro-organisms helping
to break down the matter.
Without air, compost will start
to smell bad and the process
will slow down or even stop.
Occasional deeper aeration
using a garden fork will
aid the process.
Accelerating The Composting Process
You can choose to accelerate the composting process by liberally and evenly
sprinkling our Bokashi Bran into the Johanna on a regular basis. In winter you
can add a bucketful or two of mature compost to boost the process. Depending
on the conditions, the compost should be ready to use after four to six months.
Garden Waste/Paper Waste:
Chopped branches and twigs, garden clippings, leaves,
bark, wilted flowers and plants, wood chips, straw,
sawdust, household paper, newspaper, egg cartons,
cereal boxes, cardboard.
Fresh grass mowings are high in nitrogen so if added in
large amounts they should be balanced with high-carbon
inputs such as stored autumn leaves, scrunched-up
paper and cardboard, wood chips.
Heat
As the contents are
broken down, heat is
created by micro-organisms.
As the temperature in the
compost fluctuates, the types
of micro-organisms present
also changes. This diversity
is important for successful
composting.
Water
Moisture is an essential
part of the composting
process so ensure that you
have a mixture of wet and
dry materials so that the
Johanna's contents have
the continuous consistency
of a wrung-out damp bath
sponge.
