What happens if the composting process fails, or leaching occurs?
Excessive moisture in the composting pile is the most frequent cause of leaching and failure of carcasses to compost properly. The use of adequate amounts of dry or nearly dry sawdust is the best way to eliminate excessive moisture. Any surface water should be diverted around and away from the composter. If a composting pile becomes too wet, it can usually be recovered by moving it to another bin, and mixing in additional dry ingredients during the moving process.
