My questions are:
- Will this even compost?
- What can i change/add to speed it up/ make it possible?
I am a complete beginner (besides my little worm compost that i keep indoors that works fine) with composting.
Moved house and am setting up a vegetable/permaculture/flower garden atm. So i am removing a lot of plant matter, Roots, Weeds, Gras.
I tried to build this compost by layering:
Sticks on the bottom
then alternated between:
the stuff i took out of the garden
cardboard as much as i had
some finished compost
some food scraps
coffe grounds
nettles
i also showered it with my piss... nope just kidding i am not there yet haha showered it with a yeast sugar mixture and worm compost tea
its covered with a semipermiable black fabric but after the heavy rain yesterday it looks like none of the water made it through. dont know if this is good or bad.
this is what i think i can improve:
- more brown stuff, cardboard
- smaller layers so there is more airflow
- make it broader not build higher
thanks for all your feedback, i am really enjoying this sub and cant wait to learn more about composting! 💚
