Anyways, i have been twirling a paint bucket, and didn't realize it was so deep.(only the top was moving around, the bottom stagnated) I moved it immediately to a tupperware box thing so i could shake it, it has handles. I shook it around alot, i have a fire fork thing that i bought at wal-mart, it has two prongs and its 1/8 inch thick so it's tough. I stabbed it all over and shook it etc.
Anything i should do in particular?
@OGIONIK,
The question that everyone is afraid to ask "What are you trying to do and what does it have to do with your compost?
@Sglass,
grow plants?
im still not sure if i should toss it out and start over, if its too late or something..
the smell went down drastically.
fuckit. ill just shake it everyday.
and hope for the best
@OGIONIK,
What kind of stuff do you have in the bucket? If it's just table scraps, you might try adding some dry leaves or grass clippings and the shake shake shake.
i would suggest removing the little children.
when rotten, they stink
are you saying that you have an anerboic digester/ what did it cost
@Sglass,
what.
no i have a rubbermaid bin.
full of coffee grounds , tea bags , eggshells , apples bananas and rice pretty much..
@OGIONIK,
smell went down alot, it rained i guess and the water prolly caused most of it. maybe im not sure.
i put more air holes
shakey shakey
i want to find something grass leafish etc..
cardboard will suffice for now. soemthing less organic to tone it down.. heh but im just uhh doign whatever.
@OGIONIK,
this would be easier if you did not live in the middle of a desert...
lemme guess what sort of plants your gonna grow.... ummm maybe not.
Too much moisture is your problem. aerating as you are doing will fix it.
perhaps a little more dry organic matter sawdust dried leaves that kinda stuff.
Shake shake shake /
shake shake shake /
shake your bootay
