6th Mixing/Overturning of Compost into a pile (F2)
On March 27, Sunday, we did the 6th overturning , mixing of the composting pile. The temperature was relatively high, at 20 degrees Celsius.
During the overturning the Divine Liturgy was heard from the church of the village.

There are a few essential reasons why we should periodically turn the compost pile:
1. Speed :
Regular overturning will re-heats the pile, keep a constant aerobic state in it, and consequently speed up the process of composting.
2. Over-consumption by microbes :
Overturning will mix the pile and make a great combination of undepleted material and healthy bacteria. When we return them to the center of our heap, we will help the process to keep going.
3. Compaction :
Overturning will create necessary passageways for moisture and air to prevent excessive compression of the pile.
4. Lower the level of humidity :
The goal is to fill the pockets inside the pile with air instead of water.
5. Prevention of overheating:
Regular overturning will keep the ideal temperature range for decomposition by redistributing the hot compost from the center of the pile to edges.
6. Prevention of bad smells :
Overturning the pile will eliminate awful odors of the composting material.
