Mid-Summer Compost Bin Decomposition - August 2024
I haven't gotten around to turning our compost bins this Summer. But, that hasn't slowed down the natural decomposition that is taking place back there. The last time that I looked at the bins was in Spring - March 2024 - when they were full from Fall and Winter scraps and weeds. Since then, I piled on A LOT of things - Spring cleanup, cuttings from grasses, a bunch of turf/soil from various excavations/edgings. And, lots of weeds - including a HUGE pile of tall Pokeweed.
The heat of Summer, combined with time has yielded some natural compression and decomposition. Have a look (below) at the current state of the three bins.
Do I need to turn these over? Yes. Will I get to it before Fall? I'm not sure.
But, as of now, I don't have room for Fall leaves. So, that...will end up being the forcing factor.
