Tips - Air

Do not fill the Manthan 300 to more than 3/4th the tank's capacity. The empty quarter provides the air necessary for decomposition, also allowing for better mixing of the waste when the tank is rotated.

Tips - Sogginess

Make sure that the waste inside does not get too wet. To ensure this does not happen add adequate saw dust or dried leaves and rotate the tank 5 rounds everytime you add the wet waste to let the dried matter mix in well and absorb the extra moisture.

Keep the tank lid open for sometime if the pile has become too wet – to let the sun dry it out.

If you see a lot of water condensation when you open build up, which is a good sign. Add dried leaves and cocopeat with accelerator to absorb this water, or drain it out.

Tips - Smell

The waste will smell if you do not have enough dried leaves or saw dust in the pile. You must add EM and an Accelerator we supply to hasten the decomposition and also control the odour.

The Manthan has holes on the sides, make sure these are unclogged, use a small stick to remove the debris that gets stuck in these holes.

Remember, if it smells, you are doing something wrong!

Maintenance

Once a month, oil the mechanical parts.
