Although the kambha range of products are easy to use, you might reach a roadblock at times. We hope the following suggestions will help you.

Can a Kambha be used for only garden waste?

You can use the Kambha for garden waste. The place fit Kambhas are ideal for garden waste.

Do I need to add any accelerator to my Kambha?

Adding accelerator helps but is not critical. You can use the Daily Dump accelerator or use any other that you know about.

My Kambha fills up too fast.

You should then use two Kambhas and alternate dumping. This will distribute the waste evenly and save you the bother of interchanging units too often.

The sides of the Kambha has dried waste while the center is wet.

The waste on the sides tends to be dry because of absorption of moisture by the terracotta walls. This needs to be combined with the wet waste in the center. Use your tools or your hands (in gloves) to stir and combine the dried edges with the wet center.

Can I use one Kambha with one Mota Lota?

Yes, customers usually combine different kinds of daily dump products to achieve their composting needs.

How many dried leaves should I add?

There is no correct quantity. If your waste is too wet or it has a lot of cooked leftovers then you need to add more leaves.

A fist full of leaves is usually enough per day or a sheet of newspaper.

What can I add instead of dried leaves?

Shredded newspaper is a good substitute for dried leaves. You should shred it fine and scatter it over the pile so that it does not clump when you add water. The bleach and chlorine of the paper in such small quantities is not a problem.

What happens when I go out of town?

No problem, the compost enjoys the break! Just check moisture levels when you get back.
