Composting not only reduces waste but also mitigates methane emissions and provides nutrient-rich fertilizer. An ideal compost mix includes organic waste like animal manure and kitchen scraps, but it should avoid meat and dairy. Regularly turning the compost pile every three to four days increases oxygen levels and temperature, leading to faster decomposition. Maintaining a pile temperature above 104°F is crucial for efficient breakdown. Other aeration methods complement turning, enhancing the composting process even further.
Composting is a great way to reduce waste on your farm. It limits the amount of waste going to the landfill, thus reducing methane emissions.
Turning is an excellent way to keep your pile aerated. But there are other ways to accomplish aeration, which often occur as you set up your pile or bin.
