Return the compost being made

It's time to turn the compost, which is done, gently...

With the humidity of autumn and the temperature still sufficient inside the compost heap, the organic matter that you add regularly continues to be transformed thanks to a multitude of living organisms, so that in the spring, your compost is usable.

But the rains compact the compost too strongly and the air is lacking. Now is the time to turn your pile. It is best to turn your composter upside down and reload it or in the case of composting in a pile, to make a pile again next to it.

If the diapers seem dry to you (not easy to say out loud) sprinkle them with rainwater. Air, humidity and mixing are the three golden rules of composting.
