How often do y'all turn your compost?

If at all. I know some folks just let it sit and go low and slow.

Just curious to see what you folks prefer.

Every couple of weeks during the summer, once a month over the winter. Used to do it weekly, but decided I should probably let it heat up more between turns.

I do it by getting a fork and properly turning and mixing it. Very physically demanding!

I only really have the one 800 litre bin though. I think the let it sit strategy works better when you have 2 or more, just layer well and let nature do the mixing!

It’s a really good workout. This sounds like a really fast pace to me but if you’re getting good exercise, there’s nothing wrong with that!
