Just clipped some very green shrub shoots and decided today was the day to turn the whole pile and bury trimmings at a couple different layers. You can see some sticking up but they’ll be fine. I don’t mess with this pile much, this is the only turn I’ve done on it all year and it seems to be doing its job pretty well.
I don’t pay too much attention to this pile. Kitchen and yard wastes and weeds go in. Some gallon sized bags of coffee grounds occasionally. A lot of shredded cardboard all at once when the wife demands the box stash disappear. This pile has disappeared a LOT of giant chunks of melon rind already his summer, especially the huge batch that went directly onto a very thick layer of shredded cardboard.
Shredded cardboard is so vastly superior to large hand torn chunks. Can’t recommend a shredder enough.
