Hi! I have a Earth Machine compost bin that has not been dumped in about 2 years,it is just a never ending garbage compactor. IN-ONLY, turn and water a few times a year. Lots of veggies scraps, shredded junk mail, various yard waste. This was my 2nd over flow composter. My primary compost bin cracked this year. So now THIS is my primary composter. Now, here is my question. I have just added a veggie garden to an area of the yard that has NEVER been used. I have been here 8 years and the previous owner had black plastic mulch with large rocks covering this area. This past fall I mulched the area with leaves and when planting my veggies, I added bagged compost to the holes. Can I use the unfinished compost to mulch the veggie bed? I will purchase bag mulch to cover the Unfinished compost/mulch if needed. Now that it is getting very hot, I feel the need to conserve moisture in the veggie garden, and also add amendments at the same time to my new veggie bed. Any thoughts, Thanks!
