Add to tumbler compost bin

Krista asked 4 years ago

After the 2 week fermentation process, could it simply be dumped into a tumbler compost bin along with paper towels, soil from previous compost, leaves etc, for the easiest/fastest way to empty the bucket?  I’m thinking this would eliminate a step of digging a trench or turning our compost manually if we are in winter months or need a quick solution until ready to harvest the by-product for plants.>

It’s better to avoid store-bought and bagged soil’s. These mediums are sterile and have no microbial life in them. You need life in order to initiate and complete the composting process, otherwise things may begin to rot, or simply not break down. So.. better to dig in the garden and use the soil that your plants are already growing in. Or you can add some freshly finished compost (not the bagged store bought stuff tho) if you have access to some.
