I've had this mix composting for a while...

[Natural]

I've had this mix composting for a while now, about 1 1/2 months, do I need to add anything to it over time? I won't be using it for another month probably.

28 cups peat
15 cups perlite
5 cups earth worm castings
6 tbs dolomite lime
3 tbs blood & bone meal (4-10-0)

Then I wetted down the mix with (per gallon)
3 tbs liquid kelp meal (0-0-4.5)
3 tbs molasses

Will this composted soil go bad over time or what? Originally I was going to use it a month after composting, but things went another way...

Should I just use this mix or make another batch?

you use it when its done, enviroment has a lot to do on how fast its done. heat, humidity, moisture, contents. how often do you turn the pile? im assuming you know what it looks like when done so just turn it and when its mostly all decomposed you can sift it through some screen to get the chunkies out.

I turn the pile once a week.
Right now it has the consistency of fiberish earth worm castings (if that makes sense).
I turn and mix so often there isn't even any chunks left in there.

I was just wondering if I should be adding anything to it since it's been sitting so long. All I've been doing is watering with molasses everytime it dries out (about 2-3 times a month).

what i did in one of my mix's that had been composting for a month was add just a little bit more amendments before i put plants in it so nutes would be available right away ( thats why you were composting) then some over time... im a newb grower so maybe this is wrong but i thought it was logical...
