Vent holes will help. I probably would not bother unless the heap has
a bad smell. Adding some dry stuff, like dried leaves, sawdust, dry
grass, etc will help too.

Another dry material you could add is shredded newspaper. Avoid anything
with a glossy surface, and magazine inserts because they contain unwanted
chemicals.
