I have a question, maybe you can help.

Let’s assume the NatureMill is about to release a batch of compost into the tray. What would happen if I added organic matter, say, one day before the batch is dropped into the tray? From what I get from it, the fresh organic matter will be mixed into the compost, but won’t have the advantage of being rotated for the selected period.

Is there a disadvantage to having non-rotated organic matter mixed in my compost? Thanks in advance.

spinemittens > It would be ideal to add fresh material after the top bin has been emptied, so that way the waste gets treated to a full cycle of rotation and heating. But, the lower compartment will also stay warm and the blended compost will continue to break down there. Bacterial activity is very high in both compartments.
