[0020] When it is necessary to aerobically ferment citrus peel residue, the device can be used. The device is brought to the place where the citrus peel residue needs to be fermented, so that the base 1 is in contact with the ground. Then, the valves on the feed pipe 5 and the water injection pipe 9 are opened by hand, so that the citrus peel residue and microbial strains are added to the inner tank 11 from the feed pipe 5, and water is allowed to enter between the outer tank 4 and the inner tank 11 from the water injection pipe 9.
