LIVE : 5th Overturning - Mixing of Compost into a pile (E1)

On March 13, Sunday, we did the 5th overturning , mixing of the composting pile with frost -4 degrees Celsius.
Here, after all, it did not snow last week. But we had low temperatures and frost with sleet.

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.
