It’s not really dry; food waste needs water ultimately to break down
BUT here’s a way to minnimize mold risk.
Start with some safe dirt (I’m doing mine in a wheelbarrow and a circle metal thing off the patio.
Lay things on top of the dirt in the sun (to dry) (Like mulchable tea bags, banana peels, potato peels, apple cores, coffee grounds.
Before the first rain, cover each thing with good dirt.
Stir pile once a day. Add more things periodically, let dry, bury, water if no rain.
Repeat.
I have now stopped the mulch pile in the wheelbarrow (carrying on in circle thing) and planted chia and pansies on top and started a fairy garden.
