I&#8217;ve been testing the unit with an alternative to the saw dust I bought after the saw dust pellets which shipped with the machine ran out.<\/p>\n<p>When the original pellets ran out I popped down the local pet shop and picked up a bag of sawdust for pet bedding.  However it seems that this type of sawdust isn&#8217;t helping the smell issues I&#8217;ve been having with the Nature Mill.  I&#8217;m unsure as to why, other than perhaps its pine softwood.<\/p>\n<p>During the Winter I had a couple of <u>big<\/u> Pear trees behind the house heavily pruned and the Ivy removed. The job left behind a large pile of finely cut wood chippings which have started to compost down. So I fed the Nature Mill with a couple hand fulls from the chippings pile and the results have been encouraging. A smell is still there when the lid is opened but it&#8217;s a bit more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>bad news<\/strong>  is that the machine has stopped transferring from the top chamber to the bottom one which means that I&#8217;ve not been able to test the wood chippings over a full cycle.  I found a broken clip which must the the cause of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>good news<\/strong>  is that the Nature Mill company in the US have been very helpful and redesigned replacement clips are on their way. The guys emailed the instructions for replacing them but it looks a messy job as the unit has to come apart. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you know how it goes . . . . . <\/p>\n<div class=\"serendipity_imageComment_left\" style=\"width: 400px\">\n<div class=\"serendipity_imageComment_img\"><!-- s9ymdb:25 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\"  src=\"\/blog\/uploads\/NatureMill\/chippings.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"serendipity_imageComment_txt\">The chippings pile from the Pear Tree and Ivy pruning.
