Adding more brown, carbon-rich materials and monitoring watering schedules are ways to fix moldy compost. Moldy compost may not necessarily be bad since beneficial bacteria and fungi help account for its presence while they break down compostables and recyclables. But at the same time, it may reveal overwatering since compostables should not be waterlogged and should showcase moisture levels consistent to that of a wrung-out sponge.

Why is compost moldy?

Compost only is moldy when proper procedure isn't followed. For the breakdown of compostable materials requires certain levels of air, moisture, and temperature; and the regular turning of the pile.
