Ahhhh... the compost pile! We use the tractor to turn it. I can't imagine making more than small bits of compost without the tractor. All organic matter will compost eventually, but if you turn it, it decomposes faster. Our pile was breaking down beautifully inside last year. The internal temperature was between 80 and 150. This year it's not so hot. We should probably add more animal components. While you would think manure and moist weeds would stink, it doesn't. It can shrink to half it's size by the time it's ready to use. One thing we don't put into this pile is bind weed. That plant is crazy invasive and aggressive. Thanks to the town and local tree companies, we can get gorgeous loads of wood chips. We hope our pile is ready in a year. Ah, patience.
