Compost is almost ready, it's nice and crumbly aside from some leaves that clumped together. They'll break down in the soil. This is the final turn, I turned it over onto the patch, it'll be pretty easy to spread. I'll just push it forward. I've got an older pile about half the size of this one that's been sitting a couple months, I'll be using both piles on this 2000 square foot half of the patch. I don't think I'll be adding any more to the other half, I already added a bit in early fall and the organic matter is about 7. This side needs it much more. I'll probably plant a spring cover crop on this portion of the patch as well. I have a winter rye mix, as well as some sorghum sudan grass coming in the mail. I might try the sudan grass, it's supposed to grow extremely fast, suppress weeds, and kill nematodes, in addition to being great for the soil ecosystem. It requires warmer weather, and i measured 51 degrees soil temperature today so I might go with it
