Additional
Recommendations:
Place in a partly sunny region of your yard so that the
black color assists in the absorption of heat from the sun – higher
temperatures will increase the rate of decomposition, assuming adequate
moisture and oxygen is present.
Use a shaft-styled pile turner for vertically churn the
compost pile, breaking up stagnant air pockets and bringing the beneficial
microbes present in greater concentration in the lower levels up to the surface
where new scraps are found.
