The 6–8 Hour Reality

Definition: “6–8 hours” describes visible breakdown of many everyday scraps, not finished compost. Processing varies with the inputs, operating conditions and continuous feeding.

0–4 Hours

Volume Reduction

Microbiota activation. Many everyday scraps soften quickly and become hard to recognize.

4–8 Hours

READY STATE

High-Activity State

Many everyday scraps show visible breakdown. Freshly added material and partially processed scraps can remain in the bin.

Ongoing

Curing

With continuous feeding, maturity varies inside the bin.

kobold Quick-Check

  • What is it?kobold™ microbial processing medium, for use inside GEME appliances.
  • Do I add daily?No. It is self-replicating. You only refill if the cycle crashes (rare).

Input Boundaries

Does 6-8h apply to everything? No.

  • ×Large dense bones (Beef/Pork)
  • ×Oyster/Clam shells
  • ×Large volumes of liquid oil
Fine to add: Chicken bones, fish bones, fruit peels, leftovers.

The "Wet" Standard

Output should be moist and soil-like, not dry chips. Check the care guide if the material becomes too dry.

How it works (without the lecture)

Airflow

Airflow keeps it aerobic

Oxygen + circulation help prevent the anaerobic conditions that cause odor.

Turning

Gentle, variable turning

Not aggressive grinding. A light, adaptive rhythm keeps surfaces exposed so microbes can work fast.

Microbial nest

A microbial "nest"

kobold is a composite microbiota that thrives in aerobic composting conditions—trained for the kitchen.

Practical Reality
NoiseNoise Level
~46 dB

*Measured under test conditions. Perceived sound varies with placement, floor contact, room acoustics, load and operating stage.

EnergyEnergy
Dynamic Cycling

Uses minimal power to maintain temps, only ramping up when new waste is detected. Not a constant heater.

MaintenanceMaintenance
0 Filters

No carbon filters to replace. Permanent ion-oxidation system. When you can't see the blades, scoop out compost until the shaft is visible. (3-6 months).

How to use your substrate

1Use it as

  • 🌱 Base fertilizer (mix into soil)
  • 🌿 Top dressing (thin layer)
  • ⚠️ Seedling caution (mix first, don't overload)

2How to apply

  • 🔍 Sift out larger pieces → return them to the cycle
  • 🌱 Mix Compost Base with soil at 1:8, or cure it before planting
  • 📏 Start small: observe plants, adjust
