Control is a good thing

Composting gets into full swing during the summer months. Check the compost bin more frequently now. For example, check to see if dry nests have arisen where too much dry material was added at once. If this is the case, mix moister material (e.g. using a garden fork) in with it. And vice versa, of course: Dry material should be mixed into the wet patches, or add some crumpled up newspaper to absorb the excess moisture. Adding a natural clay mineral powder is also recommended, as this clay mineral powder absorbs moisture too.
