Can I compost waste from Smart Cara in the Subpod?
Yes, you can add waste from Smart Cara to the Subpod.
There are however a few things to note when using your Smart Cara to generate waste for your Subpod:
If you run the full cycle on Smart Cara, the resulting waste would be added to your Subpod as dry carbon.
If you stop the cycle after 1.5 hours, the resulting waste would still be a bit damp and you can add it to your Subpod as you would food waste, only in a smaller volume.
This will also save power (a full cara cycle takes 1kW so you'd only use 500W) and avoid the need of having to add moisture back to the food waste before you put it into the Subpod.
