Our compost looks like it has all turned to mush. What can we do?

Most likely, all the fruit and vegetable peelings that have been added to you bin have not been properly balanced out with fibrous materials.

It is important to remember that when adding a lot of fruit and vegetable peelings to compost bins, it should be balanced out by some fibrous materials. Add paper towels, torn up cardboard boxes, cardboard egg boxes, toilet roll centres and scrunched up paper to restore the balance.
