Hot Compost at 15 Days

We’ve been making a “fast” compost pile, and recording some YouTube shorts as we do so.

This is what it looked like on day 2, the first time I turned it:

And this is what it looked like this morning after I turned it:

You can see how much it’s blackened up. I think I’ve turned it six times now. We were going to get to it yesterday but we had good friends over, and I skipped turning.

It’s not going to be done in 18 days, but it will certainly be finished within a month.

Now I need to build a huge bread compost pile. I was trying to dry some loaves for the chickens so we could store them, but it’s been at almost 1900% humidity and raining off and on for the last two days, so that’s a wash. COMPOST TIME
