Air circulation - from the bottom and the sides. That is a must. Wet it down, but not too much, just keep it moist. Keep "green" and "brown" items in balance, and every so often a handful of ordinary fertilizer should be added (don't overdo it). Turn it every five days or so! Hard work, but it makes all the difference.
