Gardening Tips - Composting

Compost needs to entirely stabilize and mature before it can be used. Not only can immature compost damage your plants, but it can also attract rodents and other pests to your yard. You will need to stop adding material in order for your pile to mature (although in no-turn systems, the bottom of the pile may provide finished compost even if the top of the pile is still active). You can identify finished compost by looking for these characteristics:

Texture: Crumbly and smooth, without recognizable scraps.
Smell: Like a forest on a rainy day, or rich earth. Traces of ammonia or sour odors means the compost needs more time to mature.
Color: Dark and rich
Size: One-third the original size of your pile
Temperature: Within 10 degrees Fahrenheit of the temperature outside (especially in the middle of the pile.)

"Compost cannot go bad, but it can get too wet, too dry, or too old. You can still use compost that is old; it just might not have as many nutrients in it as fresh compost."



More info on the site, this is just what I specifically need to reference back to. :3
