I improve compost quality and texture by turning/moving a whole heap, with a manure fork, to an adjacent area. Turning is an opportunity to break up lumps and admit fresh air, which feeds bacteria and helps further breakdown. This heap was assembled in October and had been slowly maturing through winter, so the ingredients you see are 3-4 months old. I shall use the compost next autumn, though it could be spread in late spring if needed. Filmed (6th February) and edited by my son Edward [ Ссылка ]. We have also filmed the compost-making process, video appearing early March 2017
