Hum, large size tea makers......

I have never been impressed by really big machines. Better to have two 2000
L machines than one 4000 L machines.

But, if the 500 gal machine (2000 L) takes 15 to 20 lbs, then a 1250 gal
machine would take less than triple that amount, if the non-linear increase
is maintained.

The increase from 50 to 500 gal is 10 to 15 lbs, so just less than doubled.
when the water increased by 10 fold.

So, your guess is as good as mine at this point. TESTING the machine is what
will tell you the amount of compost should be.
