Thank you!
I over-watered my compost (using new tumbler compost bin) and what a mess I made.
I haven’t decided what to do with it yet, but I’ll probably dump all the wet mess out and start over.

Gil, thanks for your response. Glad it works well for you as well. It works really good for us.

Thanks for your reply. I’m going to look into lasagna gardens . They have been my interest for a long time.

Here in the wintry North, Brooklyn, we compost pretty much the way you recommend.

We have a pail in the kitchen with a lid that has a filter in it to keep the smell of the compost out of the kitchen and the flies out of the compost.

Once a week, or when it is full, I take the pail to a big container in the back yard and dump the compost into it. We throw some dirt on top once in a while, since we don’t have too many leaves.

The composting box has a door at the side near the bottom where we can take the compost out in the Spring.

It works well.
