I don't rotate my compost: I'm talking about a big compost heap - there is more need for care and occasional mixing when using a (relatively) small compost bin. In my case the insects and small furry mammals do the job for me.
The other thing which is critical is to see that the compost doesn't dry out - this can happen in parts, particularly when layers of grass get too thick. | Don't put cat or dog poo..or any meat eaters poo... |
