Welcome to 2008, we had a warm sunny day here yesterday, so I turned my compost pile again. I have been getting a good turn in about every 3 weeks or so. The hay is not breaking down as fast as I thought and the pine laiden manure I got still has visible pine shavings, but every time I drop a shovel into the pile, massive steam clouds come out of the center. This leads me to believe it si working, especially since the middle and bottom compost has that charred look! Turning is essential and the microbes are feasting on the brown, green, and molasses that make this pile up. I still have 4 months of serious composting to do, so this pile is right on target.
