dry climate composting

16 years ago

I have recently purchsed a compost tumbler. I've been saving all of my goodies from the kitchen, and the gerden clippings to throw into my compost bin. It's been about 6-8 weeks now. But nothing seems to be composting. Some of the stuff that I put in 6-8 weeks ago, look just about the same. I'm thinking it's too dry. I looked on the internet and saw not to use tap water in the compost bin because the chlorine will kill the the good bactieria. What should I use to moisten the compost bin? I also so some threads in different forums, that urine works good in a compost pile. Will it also work in a tumbler? Shall I pick up a case of some good Mexican beer, and move the compost tumbler a little closer to the deck?

Thanks

Dwiman
