since my last compost heap was water-lagged i am trying this time to keep it airy.
iput newspapers in it to keep the balance of wet-dry.
but i think this time i should put in "spacers"-for example dry twigs.i was concerned before that thick things would not decompose ....now i am more concerned(after alot of help from Rick) to keep it airy.
for example if i put in small amounts of styrofoam it is good in its spacing role but then what to do with when the year is over?
how about pine-cones (bulky but organic)
stones?rocks?big branches?broken plastick toys to be sieved afterwards?does the pile have to be homogenic in its texture so the whatever is inside can move around?
