Dry Compost sifting

Should compost ever be allowed to dry out completely after it's ready? We find it is then easier to sift the big chunks out when it's dry.

How Good  is Avocado Leaves Compost.

 

I have a very large avocado tree whose leaves fall off in the months of August. I collect the leaves and make a compost. I have been pouring plenty of water on the compost. Would some expert please recommend to which crops and how to apply this type of compost.

 

 

Regards,

Hosea Tokwe

Can you use large amounts of maize husks in compost piles? Should we cut them up?

If a compost pile never heats up what might be the cause? Could it be too much water?
