No, you don’t have to dry it out. Just through it right into the bin. You want your compost materials to be damp, so the added moisture is a plus.

Hi…I have a question about composting…Do I need to dry my fruit peels and veggies before composting or can I throw them right in the compost being wet or soggy?? I sure appreciate it if you could answer?? Thank you very much!! Dayle

I made a compost bin behind the garage out of wood about 4ft x 6ft x 20in should I cover it and if so with what.

You can go either way with covering compost. If you are composting with a large batch of materials all at once, you can set up the bin so that it is full and well mixed and the right dampness, and then cover it up to keep it all together.

Or, you can just leave it in the open, so that it gets sun and rain.

I don’t bother with covering my compost bins most of the time.
