Refridgeration Compressor
Why do you have to turn over your compost heap?
Do you turn your compost only to add air? I have a few 1000 litre portable tanks (IBC’s) I will be cutting the tops out of to use for composting a mixture of sheep manure and malt combings.In my vast pile of junk I have a large auger which I can poke in the top of these IBC’s to stir up the compost, this will probably work. Alternatively I have a high volume supply of clean compressed air at my disposal, will putting a series of say 1″ pipes in the bottom of the tank with 1/8″ holes drilled in them supply the air with the occassional blast? Air supplied by a France brand refridgeration compressor made in 1918, with vegetable oil or similar lubing the pistons.
Turning compost speeds up the decomposition. It also helps keep the pile aerated and thus it won’t get too stinky. If compost gets too wet the decomposition can go anaerobic (no air) and that can smell like a sewer. Yuck.
That said, I almost never turn my compost. I’m too lazy. However, I make compost in a pile on the ground with just a mesh fence around it.
In an enclosed, or mostly enclosed, container, you really have to be careful not to let it get too wet.
