I’ve been composting for a little under a year and so far I’ve had 3 batches from my tumbler. First one smelt absolutely rancid. It was muddy, gross, smelly balls of rotting food.
Second time didn’t smell, but still, after 4 months of decomposing, turned out like dry little balls they didn’t make good soil.
My third and, in my opinion, most successful batch, is the video on my post.
I think this one if the most successful because I started adding MUCH MUCH more browns, adding maggots, cutting up food, and shredding my paper/cardboard.
Yesterday I added a TON of cardboard, filled the tumbler to the brim, mixed it very well, and saw that maggot larvea was beginning.
With the end of summer approaching I decided this would be the perfect time to leave it and let decomposition do its think and begin working on my other side of my bin.
Do you guys think it’s too early? Is it too dry? Too wet? Not enough browns or greens?

    Looks good to me.

    I would have filled it before making the switch, but i guess you know how much compost you produce.
