1. How large is your compost pile?
2. How often, if ever, do you water your compost pile?
3. How frequently do you turn your compost pile?
1) About 6-7 wheel barrows full laying on dry ground in the garden
2) Water it every day just to keep the surface moist.
3) I turn it about every 2-4 weeks.
Mostly oak leaves in November and fruits & veggies with chemical-free grass added during grass growing season. Oh, and spent coffee grounds from my GF's coffee shop. That really gets the works going.
A pitch fork really makes it easy to turn. Horse manure helps speed the process.
