Beginner composter here! I started a compost pile during the pandemic but have completely neglected it for at least 2 years now.
Now, I have been bestowed with 2 dragonfruit plants and a few banana plants by my dad and I don’t want to kill them… So one thing I need is a good compost to keep them fed.
So, I need help to revive my compost! You can see in the picture that a lot of the eggs and paper is not really broken down at all. (Again, the last time I looked at the compost pile was 2 years ago… 🫣)
I know there needs to be a balance between green and brown. Is the problem that I have too much brown?
It’s also dry. My husband watered it a bit in this picture and a few new leaves got dropped in. Do I simply water it every so often to keep it moist?
Such a newbie… Expert/experienced advice much appreciated! 🙏🏾
TL;DR Beginner composter needs help reviving a 2-year-old compost pile.
