I am a preschool teacher and we just got a compost bin. It’s a pretty cool one it’s a plastic barrel that rotates. Anyone have any advice?

    Composting requires a certain amount of moisture in order to work. Some of the moisture come from the green matter you put into your bin, but unless you live in a very humid area you’ll probably need to add some water periodically. the best things to know is more green matter is better, don’t let it dry out too much, and to mix your compost from time to time. If it’s generating heat, things are working correctly.

    I m not sure what you are going to put in it BUT I have to say that potatoes and coffee grounds and any kind of veggie peels are the best.
    Goood composting :)
