1.When the waste is pushed down into the pump, initial pulveris- ing and crushing takes place.

2.The waste is compacted in the pump. Fibres are split up under pressure. Nodules start to break up.

3.The waste is pumped out underground into the middle of the compost heap.

4.The compacted waste is broken up when it leaves the pump. Oxygen is added and decomposition accelerates.

5.Microscopic life and worm zones form in and around the waste.

6.The disintegrated compost collects around the sides of the con- tainer, in the form of soil rich in nutrients.

Take the earth from the top

It avoids watering, adding straw and mixing. And, instead of digging down into the soil as you would in traditional composting, you can take the nutrient and humus rich earth from the top of the heap and spread it on your lawn and/or flower beds.

Odourless and insulating

Using the Stiga Kitchen has many advantages; it produces an odourless compost. The layer of soil which covers the compost keeps odours and flies away and insulates the compost from frost. Insulation also makes the compost work perfectly during the winter. The layer of earth regulates moisture, it prevents drying-out when the weather is warm and it encourages the run off of excess rain. You cannot fail with a Stiga Kitchen.
