- Second bin: balance green and brown stuff. Add some of the green stuff from the first bin, mix around, add brown stuff (like sticks, leaves, cardboard, and paper) if needed.
- Third bin: uncover bin. Mix and turn, add water (a container or two full). Be sure to re-cover with the black plastic sheet when you’re done. Let that compost get nice and toasty!
