The machine arrived with a bag of &#8216;starter&#8217;  agent containing the bacteria which will break down the food waste.  This appeared to be dry compost.

The &#8216;compost&#8217; in the unit is dry. The small amount of food added so far has been broken down and the unit is seemingly smell free !<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer suggests that waste food should be broken down to 10% of it&#8217;s original volume in around 24 hours and so far that seems to be about right.  The only thing that appears to be &#8216;hanging around&#8217; is some fresh pasta I added which was past it&#8217;s sell by date in the fridge. <\/p>\n<p>To be fair the manufacturer suggests that it takes a week or so for the bacteria in the machine to mature and multiply to full strength so we&#8217;ve only added a small amount of fresh waste, mostly consisting of coffee grinds and bread.<\/p>\n<p>So, after 1 weeks operation, so far so good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in ordering a Home Bio Composter please<a href=\"mailto:david@mediacopy.co.uk\" title=\"get in touch.\"> get in touch<\/a>.
