I’ll have to admit that I haven’t been all that thorough with our compost piles.  They have dried out a bit with the drought we have been having and when they are dry, there is no composting going on.

Last week I put the sprinkler on each pile for a couple of hours to get the process beginning again.  Chuck is going to get out there with the tractor and turn the piles some.  I will put the sprinkler on them some more and we’ll see if we can get them to ’steam’. 

This is a picture of a pile steaming from last year and this is what I want!
