keep moisture and wind out.
If I'm in a hurry, I turn this pile every three to seven days. Otherwise, I turn it every
three months or so, except winter. I may put food scraps into the inside of the pile once a
week, adding some carbon material at the same time. If the compost isn't working or
smells bad, it could be the wrong moisture balance, not enough air, too small size, or an
improper carbon to nitrogen ratio. The pile will shrink by as much as 75% by the time it's
done.
