As long as the filter doesn't get a layer of sludge covering it, the
micro-life will get through just fine.

If a sludge layer forms, the fungi get filtered out. So try to get a finer
bag to hold the compost in, so you get less particulate matter. Opening sizes
can go down to 200 micrometer (or micron) without trouble to the biology.

but the conviction that what we are doing makes sense, no matter how things
turn out." -- Vaclav Havel, former President of the Czech Republic
