Hot Composting: 2 Mistakes that Almost Ruined It and How I Fixed It

I am building a hot compost pile from scratch, with zero budget. My compost wouldn't heat up enough so I did some compost troubleshooting and managed to fix it. The first mistake is I didn't add enough moisture, but I also realized I had added too little greens or nitrogen. In this video I show and explain how you can make hot compost with the most basic materials and I also teach you a little troubleshooting.
