This week we pick up from last week’s video on hot composting with turning the pile once the temperature has peaked. Christy shows you the most effective way to keep the composting process going, what tools are best, and how to get a good workout in about 30 minutes.
If you missed the first video on how to build a hot compost pile, watch here. This task is great for the end-of-season garden chores, and the rewards pay dividends in spring.
