1.Air
Composting Microbes are Aerobic. They need air to do their work. Otherwise the anaerobic microbes take over and make your pile smelly.

2. Water
Your pile should be as moist as a wrung-out sponge to decompose properly. Too wet or too dry will not allow the microbes to work properly.

turn, and let it cook, and you’ll
end up with black gold.
