But research has shown this doesn't always happen. With very little detail on when and how to turn within that 15 day period, composters can end up turning too often or not turning enough for their pile. Turning too often can interrupt the heating-up process, causing temperatures to drop. Not turning enough can lead to an overheated pile (over 165-degrees F), depleting the oxygen and making the pile anaerobic.... more »
