VIDEO: How to Turn a Compost Pile Print E-mail

The key to a productive compost pile is oxygen.  Turning the compost pile will mix the materials and allow oxygen into the pile, which is essential to the decompostion process.

The video demostrates how to turn a compost pile.  The idea is simple, using a garden fork or compost aerator, mix the materials in the compost pile.  I have heard it mentioned that you should try to aerate and turn the pile once a week to maintain hot compost, which will result in finished compost more quickly.
