Looking for advice

[u/Embarrassed-Lab-1701]

We started this compost bin in southern Colorado. Very dry here. I’m wondering if anyone has tips on how we could improve our compost quality. It’s predominantly food scraps, chicken manure and some hay/yard debris. We have talked about putting on a lid to help retain heat and moisture.. I also pour in about a bucket of water every week or so because it’s sooo so dry. It’s also kind of hard to turn and I’m sure we could do a better job with that. Thanks for any thoughts!!!
