Monsoon has arrived early this year, transforming the harsh atmosphere with refreshing breeze and lush landscapes, making gardening a delightful pursuit. However, with the rain comes potential challenges for your compost bins.

Excessive rainwater can saturate compost bins, causing nutrient leaching that strips away essential nutrients. High moisture fosters fungal growth, creating unpleasant smells and a slimy texture, and can cause the compost to rot rather than decompose.

Wet conditions can also attract pests like flies, ants, and rodents. Furthermore, excess moisture compacts compost, and high humidity encourages mold growth, which can harm plants if not properly controlled.

But don’t worry!
