From a simple problem solving wheel I have on composting (thanks Patricia!), it mentions that this is often from food scraps, especially if the scraps contain meat or fats. I am very careful not to add any such scraps! I do admit to not turning the compost in the past few months. But, most of the compost is really wet, dark dirt and some leaves that haven't composted b/c of sitting on top all winter. There are very few pieces of food, if any that I see (a pumpkin rind and a few corn husks).
The quick guide said to cover the larvae with ~6 inches of compost and mix to increase temperature. This will hopefully kill the larvae/flies.
I need to do some more searching on the topic, but thought I would put out a cry for help!!!
I guess this means months until my compost is finally ready??
Any suggestions from my composting family/friends?
Help!
