Waste of time. The mulch will end up being scooped out anyway when you
remove compost from the bottom. Unless you totally empty the containers, how
will you replace the mulch?

My landlord is redoing the mulch around his trees. He is removing
Cypress Mulch that has been down for a couple of years. I am starting
two new, 5 cubic yards, compost containers.
Do you think putting some of the old mulch in the bottom of the
containers would help air flow and drainage ?
