How can my compost rot faster?

A pile!

Dig up the pile. At the bottom is the new humus. Take out the humus and put it on the beds. Put the rest back on, but in the course of the action "rearranged," "mixed," whatever. It is a pile before and after.

We didn't even have the pile directly on soil, but on paved ground. In a wooden frame, underneath a stainless steel hole grid. So that not too much moisture stays if there is heavy rain. The wooden frame could be opened at the front for the action. It was simple and always worked great.

Try planting a zucchini or cucumber directly on such a pile! You can drown your neighbors with elongated vegetables then ;).

Well, that's what we had hoped for too. But instead of humus, we just had this tar slime. And by slime, I really mean slime. The consistency is something like fresh dog poop and it almost smells the same. Hard to spread on the beds. ;)

And it is still not finished. Just grass alone doesn't work. But you know that now. I would start the compost heap anew and practice patience. Set up now and sprinkled with worms, good humus could be available in a year.

Mmmh, tasty worms we have plenty in the garden. But I wonder if they find it funny when we relocate them into this slime? ;)

How much is left? Do you have other material (brushwood ...) to mix in?

Mmmh, we have lots of delicious worms in the garden. But I wonder if they find it funny when we relocate them into this slime?

First, mix the slime with other compostable garden clippings (+ possibly kitchen organic waste). Then add the worms partly with soil. Then it will work.
