A quick question about cooking the super soil mix.

So I'm gonna make up a batch of super soil. My question is after I stick it in a trash can in my yard, is it alright to leave it baking in the sun for 30 days with the lid on? It's been pretty hot lately. How often should i be mixing that batch around in the can?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Water it like it says in the mix instructions, I like to add some molasses to my water. Put the lid on, and wait for 30 days. NO MIXING while cooking. Always keep the lid on when not taking out soil or it will get bugs. Be sure and mix really good when opening lid and when getting soil out.

I mixed mine up, made 4 giant containers of it.. 110 gallons i believe. Every week i would pull the containers in my garage and stir and rake on a 12x12 tarp. Did this 4 times and the shit wore my ass out every time. After the 4th time I added some predatory nematodes and put the lids on one last time. Soil is clean as a whistle. Bugs dont fuck with it now that its safe in my garage.

I added water to my mix 2x in the process. Stuff is super rich
