How often do y'all turn your compost? (lemmy.world)

If at all. I know some folks just let it sit and go low and slow.

Just curious to see what you folks prefer.

I let mine sit and it just compacted and didn't really do much. Then I kept adding to it and made it worse. Rinse, repeat. Finally got a tiller and tilled it after 3 years and that made a world of difference.

Now I till it about once a month or so.

Still better than me. Once in the spring, once in the summer, once in the fall.

Probably should do it more often. Thanks for sharing.

My grandpa would water and turn his every other day. Wish I had the time/energy for that. lol
