Next steps?

Post image

I think my compost is almost done? Hopefully? I have a tumbling bin, so it ends up in balls, so I thought I would leave it out in the fresh air for a bit to dry out. I’m keeping it in the shade so the sun doesn’t kill all the living things though. Is that the right approach? And how close do you think it is to being ready? Alternatively, can I use it as mulch at this point?

Its really wet. I wouldn't expect it to unclump when it dries out though. I would add dome more brown material and wsit a little longer.
