I Love this website - so informative.
Water or not to water?? I did wonder whether i should be adding some water but it is the open bottomed dalek style composter and thought the reason for this was to alow excess water to drain!!!
Didn't think to use the wheelie bin composter the council privide as it doesn't let any air in - i can now use it as a back up.
I think my compost is too wet and i defo need brown material and a layer of soil to help combat the amount of flies. Wont take me long to sort it i dont think.
So a bag of soil and some garden lime sounds like the solution so that is what i will do.
Once again thank you, thank you for all your replies so helpful.
