Compost needs air to work properly. Some drain /air holes would 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. |

Avoid anything with a glossy surface, and magazine inserts because they contain unwanted chemicals. Regards. |
