The organic waste thrown into soilkind is shredded in the first chamber, dried and transferred to the second chamber once it reaches a certain humidity level. Due to the strong reduction in volume, this collection process (“collecting mode”) can take several days, depending on the amount thrown in and the water content, or even more than a week if the amount of waste is very low. The actual composting process over 48 hours takes place in the second, lower chamber and only starts after 100% of the pre-processed organic material has been collected in the lower chamber . After this time, you can remove your fresh and ready-to-use compost from the compost container. While composting is taking place in the lower chamber (the display informs you about the progress of composting), new waste can be put into the upper chamber at any time. This is prepared for the subsequent composting and “temporarily stored” in the upper chamber. The next composting sessions then often start more quickly because new starting material is already prepared in the upper chamber.
