I don't know a whole lot about composting itself, I have a single pile that I just throw stuff into and let it feed my figs. We don't really generate enough to compost, you see. But I'm thinking caveman is onto it--mixing in more sources of carbon (aka browns, we also use paper products that I now shred) may be helpful here. It's not unusual to see ants around the pile, but a lot of ants in it suggests it's more readily available N than anything else.So my compost barrel is lookin a little well gross. Lots of ants and huge grubs. I looked around some forums but got lots of back and forth answers so I figured I would bring it over hear hopefully Seamadian can help me out. The compost looks a little too wet and is full of bugs.
Dryer lint?Thanks for the input guys. Its a tumble barrel so you rotate it to turn the compost, these things kinda suck to be honest I miss my old worm bin with juice spigot gonna have to get one ASAP. It just needed more carbon, a little brown bag and dryer lint helped.
Yep, we recycle chicken feathers, dog hair and dryer lint. Having read a yr or two ago that all of them were great for the pile, started adding them and have never noticed any detrimentDryer lint?
