A few of us took on the chore of turning the compost bin. We’ve been contributing to the bin for a few months now, so it was nearing half full. We were anxious to see if our contributions were breaking down. To our surprise they were!

We started the process by first removing the bin from around the pile. We then shoveled the compost pile to the side and removed all items that didn’t belong! Being new to composting, I was a little nervous of what we might find once we started moving the compost around. To my relief, it wasn’t too gross, and thankfully, it didn’t have a smell! At the bottom of the pile, we found dark, rich compost. This is exactly what we were hoping for!
We put the bin back and place, threw in the compost, and added in some brown matter. Overall, the experience wasn’t too bad, and I’d be willing to help again. 😉
