@lisa_rn_22: Turn it often: Spin the tumbler 3 to 4 times a week to keep oxygen flowing. Chop items small: Cut kitchen scraps and tear cardboard into small pieces before adding them. Balance the mix: Use a ratio of roughly 2 to 3 parts "browns" (carbon like dry leaves, shredded paper) to 1 part "greens" (nitrogen like vegetable scraps, fresh grass). Keep moist: Squeeze a handful of the mix; it should feel like a damp sponge with just a drop or two of water coming out. #composting #composttumbler #compost #gardeningtips
