I'm having problems with my compost system and I'm not sure of the cause,
what should I do first?
- Add water.
- Add browns/carbon rich material.
- Turn the compost.
- Add greens/nirogen rich material.
Sorry, the correct answer is "c. Turn the compost."
Most problems associated with composting are due to
lack of oxygen in the pile. Turning the compost will introduce oxygen, break up clumps,
mix the materials, fluff up the materials, and generally improve the environment inside
the compost system. Always turn first -- the compost may start performing as desired. |
