So when it comes to KNF you can follow the recipe exactly but because of everyone individual climate is different in small ways so there will be variations. We understand that to maintain microbial activity that we need a bit of moisture so if its covering the material soy have less moisture loss perhaps. could also inoculate the bedding or take it an ferment it in a barrel then use that almost like a bokashi sprinkle on top. I hope you were able to figure it out. Just remember what Chris trump says about not having to be exact, same with his son when he teaches. some things while measured in the recipes, yes, but there is flexibility in the material you can used. Also may be able to check out @Risingmoon medicinals out of Michigan he does KNF composting feeding the chickens hemp stalks.
