Hi everyone,

I am aiming for a hot compost. The tower is of one cubic metre. And I have kept the ratio of 1:1 Greens to Browns. I have added cow dung, dry leaves, kitchen waste, wet grass, straw, wet leaves, coconut husk, etc. I have made this tower on a wooden floor a little above from ground.

The tower is filled by 30% for now and it will fill up in a month. Should I add water after the tower fully fills up or every week or not at all? its only been a week since I started.

This is my first pile, any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Yeah that looks to dry. Add some moisture.

    If it is a very dry climate, and water is scarce, you can consider a tarp to reduce evaporation
