Also make sure you aerate the pile. You can do this by mixing the compost every other day to allow air to go in. This can help make it dry faster.

Knowing what to look for when your compost is ready is hugely helpful.
I’m afraid in our early attempts we were always too impatient with ours, and would often unwittingly use it before it was completely ready.
Cases in point: “no parts are recognizable” and “pile will no longer be hot.”
Good advice. Thank you.

Great information on composting. I have been doing it for years now and this is great information to have for anyone just starting out.

im struggling with the patience! Ive recently moved into a new house with raised beds and a great big compost heap – it just seems to have frozen over winter so I can imagine will be a considerable amount of time….

Patience is the hardest thing for Americans. I remember my parents had a huge yard and made tons of compost. I live in the city and only have a small yard so I must throw away in the garbage what could be composted and turn around and buy fertilizer.
Its very sad for the environment.
