How often should I add GEME Kobold?

This is more like a matter of experience than a simple number.

Please note that the time to start adding Kobold is after you have cleaned out the compost for the first time.

When to clean out the compost?

This depends on your usage, but one principle should be followed:

If your compost has covered the mixing blades of your GEME composter, please clean out your compost, that is, take your pure natural compost out to the position of the mixing shaft.

GEME replicates the entire process of natural composting. The all-natural GEME Kobold microbes accelerate the decomposition of biowaste in GEME's perfect environment.

Unlike other dehydrators that completely burn the waste to the point where it's no longer useful or recyclable, GEME produces full natural compost for the best of use.

Your GEME composter comes with a 1.5 kg Compost Starter containing GEME Kobold + C/N ratio adjustment substrate.

The type of waste you add, the amount of waste, the frequency of waste input and compost cleaning, and the way you use GEME composter will determine whether you need to add GEME Kobold refill packs or completely replace the Compost Starter.

Here are two usage examples for your reference

1. Clean the compost once a year

After activating the Compost Starter, add 100g of waste per day.

Based on the feedback from GEME users, you only need to clean the compost once a year. This means that after one year of using the GEME, if your compost has covered the mixing blades of your GEME, please remove the compost to the position of the mixing shaft and start adding a small bag of GEME Kobold refill packs (only 20g) every two weeks.

If you observe that your GEME's decomposition ability has decreased during use, please add the Kobold in advance.

2. Clean your compost every two months

After activating Compost Starter, add 500g of waste every day.

Based on the feedback from GEME users, you only need to clean your compost every two months. This means that after two months of using your GEME, if your compost has covered your GEME's mixing blades, please remove the compost from the mixing shaft and start adding a small bag of GEME Kobold refill packs (only 20g) every two weeks.

If you observe that your GEME's decomposition ability has decreased during use, please add it in advance as in Example 1.
