Ken has turned and moved the compost; he has begun watering it from the rain barrel. It has already shrunk dramatically.
Yes, Ken makes our compost - we don't buy compost from somewhere else. Yes, it takes time and work, but we know exactly what is in it, and that it has heated up enough so weed seeds don't germinate.
Ken starts compost in the spring for use the following year. He uses a combination of components - leaves, bedding from the chicken coop, horse manure, and this spring he got some llama manure. Ken also adds soil amendments like rock powders, too. Compost is considered "black gold" by most gardeners. It is a great soil amendment.
