Composting Issues
Composting is a natural
process. Your Envirolet®/SG works
to create an ideal environment for
composting to occur.
If the composting process is not
happening properly, there are
usually some easy remedies.
Indications of improper composting
are:
• wet or mud-like mass
• clay-like mass
• insects present in mass
• strong odour from mass
• clumping.
Composting needs air, heat and
moisture. Treat your system like a
garden!
Also, remember to give it some time
to compost!
Compost too dry
Spray water in system.
Not enough additive or bulking material being added
Add more peat moss, Compost Accelerator or other suggested additives.
Fan failure
Fan failure will reduce aeration. See Fan Failure section.
Chemicals or other harmful substance introduced to system
Stop adding harmful material immediately. Complete system emptying and re-start may be
required in extreme cases.
Lack of heat
Heat is needed for composting and evaporation. Check Heater (and thermostats), insulate or
heat room and floor where Compost Unit is housed. Keep ambient room/enclosure
temperature above 12°C (55°F). Warmer is better.
Lack of evaporation
Check electric components (fans, heater, etc.), venting system and ensure Service Panel
airflow is well-secured to unit and is not blocked. Make sure room/shed where Compost Unit is
properly vented.
Over-use
Use within rated system capacity.
Clumping
Use poker or garden tool to break-up material. Add more additives.
Insects
As composting is a natural process
involving natural tiny bacteria, heat
and moisture it only makes sense
that insects arrive too, right?
Well, yes and no! If insects appear
and are bothering you or disturbing,
it is easy to get rid of them! Luckily,
if they do appear it is rare for them to
be anywhere near the inside
bathroom toilet.
How they get in
Insects normally enter the system through accidental entry into your home or cottage (through
a window, un-screened area, or door). They can be present in organic products (peat moss) or
kitchen waste added to your system. One insect entering your toilet can multiply rapidly. Insects
or eggs can be present in peat moss.
Add Diatomaceous Earth or any other organic pesticide to the system, which can be purchased
from most pool supply stores and garden stores. It is a yellowish-white powder. Too add,
sprinkle a generous amount of Diatomaceous Earth on top of the solid waste in your
composting unit for 3-5 days in a row. The insects should disappear by day 2 or 3. House and
Garden Raid or any other indoor/outdoor spray pesticide may be more effective in killing fly
insects. Spraying a small amount of insecticide will not harm your system, but do not add too
much as it may disrupt the composting process.
