Composting troubleshooting
Key factors for great compost are:
1. Correct nitrogen/carbon ratio;
2. Correct level of moisture;
3. Good aeration;
4. Regular rotation.
Activators can be added to your compost to help speed up decomposition. It
includes fallen leaves, grass clippings and well-rotted chicken manure. But
sometimes things go wrong, even with composting. Most compositing problems
occur from a lack of moisture, too much moisture or an imbalance of the
nitrogen/carbon ratio. Fortunately, all these problems have a simple solution.
