Hello,
I have had a compost tumbler for a few months now and I am starting to get some form of compost in there. I am using mainly my small animal poo and their bedding as well as coffee and tea. I have moved the previous compost from my old composter into these new tumblers so they had something to start of the composting process with. I have read about the brown and green 10:1 ratio and to keep tumbling it since the air is what makes the process speed up. I recently added some of the leaves from the garden and since then it appears very moist. I am currently adding a lot of the animal bedding and poo in to soak it up but I am not sure if I am doing the right thing.
I have attached some pictures of the animal poo and bedding which will be going into my compost when I get a bit of room to put it in and also the compost as it stands in both chambers and also a picture of the animal bedding since it states its good for compost all over it.
Please could you let me know if what I am doing is the correct thing and if you could point me in the direction needed if not or just any general tips would be great.
Thanks
James
